You can't really go by the low light. Phone cameras are notorious for taking terrible low light pictures because their sensor is just too small.

I would say it's a knock off because Otterbox hasn't made one for the i777 yet. Probably just a hacked up one for the original GS2.
This is correct, it's not only Samsung.
It's Apple, HTC, and a few others IIRC.
The effect can't be seen in good lighting.
The effect can be lowered to some extent by changing the White Balance.

We should see it in 1-2 weeks, the T-Mobile version is launching with 2.3.5 from what I've heard.
Right now I would consider you lucky
LOL i left texas another 10 years ago. i consider *THAT* lucky
Meh to each his own. I moved from San Diego and wouldnt go back.
I got those too, so far, I like them.
Seidio and Steinheil have had some of the best ones in the past, though I've sometimes bought no name cheapies that also do the trick. I have not researched this yet, so I don't know who at this point is offering one for the GS II.
Whatever I buy, I always buy a 2-pack just to have a backup. Amazon has usually been a good source for these, though sometimes the ones AT&T sells can be pretty good too. In any case, be sure you order the crystal clear ones. If it says something like "fingerprint resistant", or "glare reducing", that's the clue that you are not going to get the type I've mentioned.
P.S. - a footnote to my installation instructions of yesterday: One should still strive to be in a low dust environment. Though I've never had to resort to this, some people say to go into the bathroom and run a hot shower for a few minutes, and that the steam will clear the room of dust and make an ideal place to perform the installation.
I was thinking maybe they were for the international sg2 since in there ad they say only the international and at&t.
Where was the 148.00 price posted. I would need something to go in there with and I can't seem to find anything on wallmarts website.

I have only seen the $148.88 price mentioned online. I mentioned to the Best Buy rep helping me and that I had checked and Wal-Mart didn't have any in stock. I said Iwould come back when I could pricematch for a refund and he said "No Problem, I know about that. I will pricematch for you so you don't need to come in." I was pretty happy with that. Earned Best Buy some loyalty from me.
Okay impressions after using the phone for a while.
Call quality coming from Apple, same. That's a good thing.
Speed of the phone: Amazing. Blazing fast compared to my Iphone 3GS lol.
The UI took a little getting used to but I like it a lot. Also, if you download the app autoresize it makes your wallpaper crystal clear (pictures that you take) and keeps them from moving when you scroll to different pages.
The camera is great now that I have turned on auto contrast and fidgeted with the white balance. Knowing that it is not a hardware but a easy software fix put my mind at ease.
This phone was soooo worth the wait for me. I hope everyone is liking theirs as I am.

I have to wait until I get paid on Wednesday to buy this phone. So as a consequence, until that point, I am forced to hate all of you. Nothing personal.
I have to wait for my case to get here, so I probably have to wait till Friday. I can hate you on top of everybody else
When I got mine from the AT&T store they gave me three free things with it since it doesn't have a rebate with the phone yet. I had my pick of an 8 gb memory card, a bluetooth headset, a case of my choice, a car charger.
I picked the car charger, memory card, and case. The case I picked was the casemate pop (I think that's what it is called.) It will tide me over until I find something else. On that note, does anyone know if the cases for the international version will fit the AT&T model? If they will there are some really good cases out there.

Well I was driving to lunch and saw a radio shack. Decided to try my luck. They didnt have one in stock, but a nearby store did and the manager was picking it up for me on his way into the store later in the day. Did all my contract stuff. Hopefully in an hour or two I will be able to walk into the store to pick it up!
Got to love this! HAHAHAHA

Apple bandwagon seems to be swelling with anticipation, lol.

I've been leaving my Captivate plugged in all night every night for over a year and no problems, except it vibrates for a few seconds when it reaches 100%, so if it's in the bedroom I put in on a pillow so it won't wake me. I assume that when it reaches full charge it stops charging. I also assume it will be the same with this phone, but you know what they say about assuming!
