Just had another software update much to my surprise. No idea yet what is better about it but I hope my battery will now last longer. Maybe this will be the final update before they start to roll out Jelly Bean towards the end of the year?

I am now on Android 4.0.4

My battery life was terrible over the weekend, only last about 4-5hrs after full charge, this is with the latest update, I hardly use the phone during the day

I just got a s2 from VM for £17 a month which isn't too bad.

My one came with 4.0.3 on it and I updated it when it arrived yesterday. So far the only thing I find odd is you need to take the battery out to change the memory card. Still I guess the designers though you'd not need to get at it that often.

Ordered a 32gb card but irritatingly it hasn't shown up from amazon today despite paying for next day delivery.

Oh and it came with a micro sim card adapter which was useful as I'd been using my sim in an an iPhone 4.

.

Yay for idiotic design.

The OS supports changing memory card without a reboot, but they made it physically impossible to do

The OS does *not* support changing the SIM card without a reboot, but they made it easily possible to do.

Thankfully they've reversed said idiotic design on the S3...

How did you get the S2 for £17 a month,even on the starter tariff for VM customers already comes out at £28 according to the website.:confused:

https://www.virginmobile.com/vm/view...ringId=7493769

I was looking to upgrade to VM moblie but even with the customer deals they could not compete with three,who i stuck with the one plan offers 2,000 anytime minutes,5,000 texts,umlimited internet with tethering allowed.

As far as i could see a deal like that with VM would be around £33,where i got the one plan with three for £25 a month.

I just called to cancel and that's what they offered me.

...and I am no longer a VM customer (aside from mobile).

If thats what they were advertising for new customers(already with cable services) i would be heading their way now!

How many minutes,texts and internet did that plan include each month.

Sounds like a cracking deal with the right allowances.

Well after reading your other posts it's not really comparable.

I get 200 mins 3000 texts and 1gb internet. Which is far more than I need.

That probably explains the deal then,still if thats all you need its certainly not bad.:)

Our family are all on Virgin mobile and I got the £17 deal for our daughter on S2 back in May.
