Samsung Galaxy S2 Vs Samsung Wave Upgrade Advice Please Guys.

Hey All,

This friday i am due an upgrade, now i used to be a sony ericsson user before i got my wave as a replacement phone as my SE was Crap basically. now my upgrade is due, i only ever want to stick to a samsung phone!

I have been looking at the Galaxy S2 and have got to a point where i really want it! a Friend of mine in the office has just got the S2 before i did and man ive never seen such a big phone, (total bonus having big hands) anyway.. the thing that is putting me off the S2 right now is the keyboard options. being old skool, i like to use the keypad layout, like the older phones that had keypad numbers 1-9 and 3 letters to one key. i have that option on my Wave and love it for messaging, i find it faster and better. although i cannot see the option for that layout on the S2 on my friends phone at work.

Please dont tell me the S2 doesnt have the keypad layout what so ever? anyone know if it has got that layout or not? or if its just hidden or not enabled on the S2? its the biggest put off for me for that phone. not to mention it doesnt have the camera button on the side either! unlike the wave.

any detailed info on this would be great. ive had a nose around some internet pages today but cant find what im really looking for and in depth really. thanks in advance guys. Street
