Its brought from UK, so pricing is irrelevant. Got out last week as soon as it was launched.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S 2 launching 13-14 april in India

But how did the plastic back cover feel...
That's a great dealbreaker for me. I lost all the locking pins (Whatever you say) from my 5800 in just 18-20 months...
Does it last that long? do we have any aftermarket metal back cover for it? (Maybe too early to ask)
Does the lens gets scratched on regular use.. (Its protruding)?
Any protective cases available?

The major problem with reviews is..
They don't give a long sighted opinions...
If the cover may withstand regular use..
Does any dirt/dust get trapped in lcd<>glass.
Even sometimes slowdown of OS...
Any long term review/Thinking would be great...

Actually there are few niggles with the phones that all reviews have missed so far. You get to know these bugs when you actually use the phone with different applications for some time.

I want to do an article (not the full blown review, but just a article about what things you should expect that have not been covered in reviews so far ) about this.

No point in doing full blown review as there are plenty out there.

The good thing is, none of these niggles are serious enough for you to not want this phone.

Back cover is okish. When you remove it, you get WTF feeling. But once on phone, it wont bother you much. It fits tightly and does not have any flex when attached to phone.

There are few bugs in the phone and few touch input and display glitches which hopefully are software related. (no, not the odd burn in or dead pixels, but universal issues which bug all SGS2 skus at this point).

I will see if I can sit down to write about it in detail over next couple of days as I have some free time this week after long long time.
