Re: Google Android
The Google Galaxy Nexus is out around about now as well, worth considering...

Almost the same spec as the SGS2 albeit a slightly larger screen and £200 more.
Plus the SGS2 will get ICS eventually, sooner on kangs / cm 
Just need to make my mind up on the 'early upgrade' as to wether it's worth it or not vs sim free and selling on contract renewal if there is a better phone on the market...

Re: Google Android
I decided to go for the nexus prime. My nexus one is good, but might as well upgrade to see what the new phone can do. Will tell you once i get it.

Re: Google Android
I certainly don't, I don't really see any advantage of it...

Re: Google Android
I've just bought a Motorola RAZR XT910. Very nice, the 4.3" OLED display is fab and it is very fast in use. That was a SIM free job, I don't know if any carriers have it yet.

But now he’s released a video actually showing the logging of text messages, encrypted web searches and, well, you name it.
Eckhart labeled the software a “rootkit,” and the Mountain View, California-based software maker threatened him with legal action and huge money damages. The Electronic Frontier Foundation came to his side last week, and the company backed off on its threats.

After seeing\listening to vid I checked my Galaxy S2 for instances of CIQ & none were found which would suggest that that what Ben has pointed out is (unless its in another guise) right.

But since they are both made by samsung and the s2 is samsungs flagship phone wheras the nexus series are made by samsung for google then they may prioritise that.

Would take that December 2011 date for the S2 with a pinch of salt.
No other website has any record of it being this year - most others are saying 'no date' or 'Q1 2012'
But will be very happy to be wrong on that
