Samsung Galaxy S2, collective donation?

[Johan Svensson]

This is great news! 

Paul has put much effort in the Nexus S port with good success. I use it on
a daily basis. However, I find the SGS2 to have better hardware and design.
And the battery life is around two days with stock system for tasks which
consumed the HTC Hero battery in 18 hours. A Replicant port would be
amazing. 

I hope to finish the purchase as soon as possible. Unless I have
misunderstood something in the deal, it will be done by the end of this
month. I will ensure to successfully buy it before I collect sponsoring. 

More sponsors are welcome! Currently we are four, me included, which means
around EUR 70 each. One more means EUR 55, and so on.
