Didn't see anything here about the WiFi range issues with the S2. I got mine Thu and am not happy at all. Reception is marginal when other devices work just fine. AT&T "is not aware of any issues with the phone". I'll ask Samsung Mon morning and see what they say. I see two choices, being allowed to have an unlimited data plan or returning the phone. Sad. Since this phone has been available world-wide for several months I was hoping that the bugs were worked out.

Samsung denies any issues with the phone. I found this video on YouTube:
Samsung Galaxy S2 - WIFI roaming testing - YouTube
which seems to demonstrate the problem pretty clearly. I've done some web surfing but haven't found a definitive solution that actually works/helps.

I noticed the wifi sensitivity was a little weak on the GSII. At home where the router is up high and in the middle of the house, I have no problems anywhere in the house. At work, the wifi is much more spotty and I find places (my favorite bathroom stall for example 
) where the wifi gets weak enough that I don't get a reliable connection. At this same location, my iPhone 4 showed a weak signal but was able to pull data out no problem. I turn wifi off at work now and turn it on at home. The HSPA+ signal at work is strong so it isn't a problem for me (I also have unlimited data).
