You know that Samsung has multiple versions of the Galaxy S II. There’s the CDMA model, the standard Galaxy S II sold in Europe and Asia, the one that runs on AT&T’s network and the one made for T-Mobile USA’s HSPA+ 42Mbps (downlink) network. The last mentioned comes with Qualcomm’s Hercules chip and has been overclocked to 1.8GHz. Yes that’s one point eight gigahertz!

Of course, this isn’t something everyone should do, but those of you feeling tech savvy enough could give it a try. We can’t guarantee everything will work properly after the process is completed and in that sense you can’t hold us (IntoMobile) accountable by any means.

Presuming you’re an adventurous spirit and have what the necessary knowledge, visit this page at XDA forums where you’ll get all the instructions needed to make this happen. Make sure to backup all your data prior to proceeding; something could always go wrong and having a local copy is a must…

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
