Too bad. The Aria is, IMO, a nice little phone. I have been using mine as a backup to the Inspire for over a year now.

CM7 should be brewed for SGS2, check rootzwiki

Just to report . . . I used the phone roaming in NYC during AES over the weekend. General moderate usage - net, YouTube, email, calls, texts etc & my battery never went below 1/2 any day. I would rate that as excellent battery life for a smart phone. One of my buddies had the older Galaxy & he has to carry a backup battery to get through the day.

I concur. I can use it heavily during the day and still have battery left. I also have been nowhere near the 2GB mark at which point I hit throttling. I can also actually read everything without my reading glasses. Big plus. Only downside is that it is a wide phone so it takes up some space. Not a problem with cargo pants. It is very thin and light though so it is just getting used to a different form factor. I've got everything set at this point and have the OS mostly figured out. Still a bit more clunky with the phone/contacts integration but I think that I still am thinking of how the iPhone worked rather than finding the shortcuts available with this.

In all, I like the phone a lot. And getting my first bill was much nicer than my last one with ATT. Only other niggle is that the power button should be on the top imho. But at least the vol rocker is on the left, headphone on top, and the charge is on the bottom. So they got 3 out of 4 right.

I was really impressed with the speed. We were watching a YouTube video in 720p (First Of The Year (Equinox) - Skrillex - which was our most popular demo song btw) in a hall in NYC on a show floor flooded with wireless devices. No hiccups at all. My BlackBerry cohorts were seriously jealous. The iDiots were their usual smug disbelieving selves . . . one with 4S waiting at home . . .
