I bought my S2 from ebay about 6 months ago, as I already had my Three sim, and so far I have nothing but praise for the phone, it does everything I want and a lot more. The Skype feature is nothing short of excellence, it saves me a fortune, and... more »

In general I am pleased with my Skypephone, however a couple of weeks ago I stopped receiving text messages. Phone was returned to 3 and sent back fixed pretty quickly, so while it is a cheap phone with excellent graphics, camera, applications etc, a... more »

My S2 is very easy to use and it is good on the cheap tariff I am on, however I would be upset if I was paying more for it. It mainly works fine, however it does have a habit of freezing up every now and then, and I find that it is easy to press the ... more »

There's so much wrong with the S2, Skype and 3's network. After 2 weeks ownership the battery has now started to give out in about 24 hours of standby/use. Even when fully charged it now keeps rebooting. I have yet to receive any incoming Skype ca... more »

I bought this phone and at first very happy with it, as I did not have much money to spend on a phone yet it seemed very stylish and had good features on it. However, not long after I bought it (but unfortunately for me longer than 14 days after I... more »

Bought this when my S1 packed up. The performance of the S2 is better due to it's HSDPA ability but it's let down by the fiddly keys and although the screen is slightly bigger the images on screen are smaller than on the S1 when using the web. Ove... more »

The Skype S2 is a really easy phone to use. The switcher on the home screen makes it really easy to jump to certain applications quickly. Its a really good design and lightweight. Its unfortunate that the camera isn't as good quality as it could be. ... more »

I have had this phone for 6 months now. It is very much like a Nokia to operate, very simple. The phone is well made and solid. However it is lacking in some features, the camera for example is terrible, I have had the odd problem with the phone turn... more »

The S2 has the build quality of a toy phone. The keys feel like they will fall off at any point. The screen is protected by plastic as thin as clingfilm, making me want 2 microwave it. However, the S2 menu navigation is easy, borrowing alot from Sony... more »

The screen cracked within a week of buying it and it cost me £50 (and that was with a discount). For that price, you would expect a little more durability and seeing as there are a range of phones on that price range which are far better than this. ... more »
