I get it free with my PC's anti-virus, was worried it might slow the phone down though.

I haven't not had it on the s2 but it's still quicker than the s by a long way.

Got the email the other day that we get the new operating system icecream sandwich for free early next year.

Also for those who are still stuck with the archaic Iphone the Galaxy S2 is now $0 on the $29pm plan with Vodaphone, absolute bargain.

Has anyone noticed that their S2 converts an SMS to MMS if it gets a bit lengthy? Is this a carrier setting, so that they get around your 'unlimited' SMS contract by charging you for MMS? And can I change this?

Haven't noticed it, but I tend to send an email if the message is too long.

Or call someone. Rarely!

I'm trying to send out a mass message. I shortened the message so it fits into one, but now it's converting it to MMS everytime I add more than one person as a recipient. It's starting to shit me off.

Finally ditched my Samsung Galaxy 1 and got a Nexus. Very impressed so far except I can't seem to change the keyboard to anything other than a qwerty keyboard. Might even have to read the instructions!

Oh god... why? Why have a smart phone and use it like a Nokia 5110?

Try this, I think it has the style of keyboard you want in the settings.
