I regularly use 300-400 megs a month and sometimes up to 700megs,

never been over the gig mark though. Dont see the point in having a smartphone if your cant have push emails, facebook feeds, regular browsing and app downloads and maybe the occasional song too safely.

Fair enough - i use my phone (N97) for email browsing ect and have great difficulty using 50meg - i do use the wireless in the house & office but only automatically download the headers for each email so i can select which ones i want to read in full... suppose each to their own...

Youtube, streaming music, installing\updating apps....wouldn't be long going through the mb's over the space of a month.....

1gb should be a minimum, most people will never go over it, but at least you don't have to skimp or wonder how many mb's this or that will use....

angel01 · 17-02-2011, 11:42

I only over 1gb easily over the course of a month, if you believe people only use 250mb, you are listening to the tripe of O2

**Brian** · 17-02-2011, 17:52

Most I've managed is 3 GB and that was downloading a couple of podcasts every day.

I'm on Meteor Bill Pay Lite so €10 plan + €15 for 10 GB

Ill leave meteor if 3 gets the Galaxy S2 first, in some ways im hoping they do as Im getting a bit tired of Meteors lack of 3g coverage, although im not looking forward to the awful indian call centres 3 use.

I really hope the networks bulldoze on fast with this.

I mostly use the 3 forum now on boards to get things resolved

I regularly use 1GB plus of my 2GB allowance every month.

Buddy of mine has an iPhone on PAYG with no data package, never has data services switched on, may as well have a Nokia 3210 at that stage!

Extra screen size will eat that up. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually performs worse than SGS1. Only 150 extra milliamp for about an extra square inch of screen. 4.3" is a lot of screen to light up!

Supposedly the new screen is more efficient. I'm not really worried about it being no better than the SGS1, if the new battery allows it to equal it then job done IMO.

Getting fed up with my DHD so will be using it as a second phone and just pre ordered the sgsII from clove, hopefully its not a let down!

reb73 · 20-02-2011, 19:33

The Samsung Galaxy SII is listed for €844.99 on expansys.ie with a likely shipping date of 18-Apr-2011!

Will be interesting to see what the prices on contract are likely to be..

Hecklar · 20-02-2011, 22:48

Jayzuz, thats stupid money. surely thats not going to be the actual retail on these things. its double that of the 1st galaxy s.

fionny · 21-02-2011, 09:10

Nah they are probably putting a "safety" price on it, I reckon it will be around 200 with a 12month contract on meteor anyway *fingers crossed*

RonnieL · 21-02-2011, 09:24

I got my Galaxy S in the carphone warehouse last year and I don't think any of the networks had it at that point (open to correction) so maybe that'll happen again with this phone? My current contract isn't up til July so I'm not in a massive rush. I paid €99 up front for the S on a 12 month contract at €35 a month with meteor so hopefully the S2 won't be more than €200 up front.
