Good Points

A good build quality, great for internet services and playing media files, support for RSS feeds, Support for USB modem or Mass storage.
It has a nice look to it and supports 3G and HSDPA.


Bad Points

No support for Flash Lite. Proprietary headphones, RSS feeds does not support Atom feeds. No touch screen (I know this is asking a lot from phones on the British market for that price, but it would still be nice).


General Comments

The 3 Skypephone S2 is the successor to the 3 Skypephone S1, it is quite similar in its specifications, but has improved in a number of areas, a few being - build quality, it is much better built and has an attractive chrome on black design, with chrome-effect buttons which are well spaced.
It has a improved 3.2 megapixel camera, but it still sadly lacks flash.
The 3G signal now offers support for HSDPA as well as the normal 3G signal, which offers even faster internet and data speeds.
The Skypephone S2 sports a much larger and clearer screen than the S1 which is good for playing videos, and the media player is more comprehensive, offering the choice to watch something in full screen and vertically, which the S1 did not.
Like the S1, the S2 can be used as a modem, and it comes with the supplied software on the phone and a disc.
The S2 also includes a application for facebook and a improved web browser which is based on WebKit, the same underlying code as Safari and Konqueror web browsers.
The S2 can also be used as a USB mass storage device, for which it uses the memory card in the phone, which it has support for up to 4GB with (which I currently use in mine as well).
All in all its a great phone for the price, with a great build quality, really stable firmware, amazing support for online services and web browsing and good quality features.
