Hi. I am a At&t customer and I want to get the Samsung Galaxy S2. However, I like how the international version has a physical button as opposed to how the At&t version does not. Therefore, I have a few questions that I would really like to get answered from you guys :)

1. What are the pros/cons of using the international (GT-i9100) version rather than the original At&t version?

2. Are their specs/performance equally the same?

3. Can I use the 4G internet the International version has with At&t network?

4. How come the international version costs $100 more than the At&t version if they are technically the "same" phone?

Thanks a whole lot guys!

The pros: You don't need a smart phone data plan. That's a BIG pro.

Yes, performance is identical.

You can access the same HSPA+ network quasi-4G that the AT&T version uses.

It costs more because people are willing to pay for something that isn't readily available here.
