Is this any good?

Looks like a slightly less impressive Galaxy SII to me. Never even knew this phone existed!

That's exactly what it is. It one of the many cheaper variants of the SGS II floating about. Decent price for what you get.

The S2 can be got 2nd hand for around the same price and so i wouldn't go near this offer.

Its a nice phone indeed, but for some reason, i dont think could ever bring myself to buying this when the full fat S2 is available for so much little(relatively speaking) extra

The extra's of the S2 make it worth it IMO

Super AMOLED screen vs Super LCD
16gb vs 8gb
Samsung chip vs Tegra chip
8MP vs 5MP Camera

All told, get the S2.

If this were 50€ cheaper, it would be a lot more tempting...

Also, bear in mind tis handset does not have the same dimensions as the S2, despite looking almost identical, the S2 is the benchmanrk slim smartphone at 8.49mm, this is 9.5mm think..

It's €509 for a GS2 in Expansys, and I don't think it's much cheaper elsewhere brand new? That's a €150 price difference, and that's before shipping with Expansys.

Have a look around, I got my S2 for €400 new, on adverts a few months ago.

The S2 is also €480 on Amazon with free delivery.

Older phone, but what about a X10i for €130? That a good deal?

For €130, it's not bad.

Where is the xperia x10i going for €130?

BostonB

O2 have them on clearance. Seems to have very poor battery performance going by the support forums. Even for a large screened Droid. I was a bit underwhelmed by the Europa I got on 3.

UPDATE: Seem to be gone now. That ends that decision.
