The size of the phone is perfect for me. GS3 is a bit bigger than I'd like, and the new GS4 is way too big.
Any of the temporary issues I have had with it was because of the Samsung updates and overlays over the base OS from Google.

well, for one, the battery life really sucks. I know most smartphones' batteries are crap, but the S2 was below crap. lol And that was right out of the box.
And at the time, I wasn't allowed to have my phone with me at work, the front desk had cubby holes to put your phone, so I turned it on and off at least once a day, at the end of the day, I would turn it on, and none of my apps would show up. so I would have to shut it down and restart it. sometimes I could clear the RAM, and they would show up, and sometimes that wouldn't work either. This started happening a few weeks after I had the phone.
When I would text someone, all of a sudden, it would stop texting. I would have to close that text session, open a text to someone else, start typing, erase it, go back to the original person i'm texting, and it would work again.
after about a year of owning the phone, the battery would drain down to about 53% and then shut off. I would turn the phone back on, and the battery life would show in the 20% range, then shut off again, and then I wouldn't be able to turn it on at all. basically, it was a wireless phone that had to be wired 24/7.
sure, the screen was beautiful. that's about it.
