Samsung Galaxy S Review: 'The Best New Smartphone'

Engadget:

If you don't already know all about the Samsung Galaxy S II, where have you been the past two months? The successor to one of the most popular Android handsets to date carries a burden of expectation almost as sizable as its 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen. It promises to be thinner, lighter, and faster than the Galaxy S that preceded it, while garnishing Android 2.3.3 with a set of TouchWiz customizations that might actually enhance, rather than hinder, the user experience. As such, the Galaxy S II earns Samsung full marks for ambition, but does this slinky new smartphone live up to its interstellar hype? The answer, as always, can be found after the break.

I really do like the things that this phone has such as the dual-core processor and the 4.3 inch screen. Both of these make for one awesome movie and TV show watching experience! I am definitely looking into getting one of these phones when they come out! The first app that I am going to get will be the DISH Remote Access app. This app lets me stream live TV and recorded shows from my 922 SlingLoaded receiver anywhere in the world I am. As a customer and employee of DISH, I have been using the DISH Remote Access app for a long time on my MyTouch, so I know it will be awesome on the Galaxy S II. To get all the information on taking your channels with you, go to dish.com/tveverywhere! It is awesome! I can't wait to get one for myself!

Now that's impressive - even the Apple-fanboys of Engadget are praising the SGS2.

Samsung has simply positioned itself as the most formidable competition to Apple.
