Actually it's less... Virgin Mobile has it as R6,449

But I guess they don't rely on the sole pre-paid price of a handset to cover costs

No, I meant on the Virgin site, their pricing of the Sensation is more than their pricing of their Galaxy SII.

For some more information regarding the Sensation vs the SGS2 ... go have a read on the XDA forums. They have replies ens... from ppl that have the phones and are using it in day to day. Review is one thing, using it on a daily bases is another.
You should get a better idea of the pro's and con's of both phones.

Coz i want it now! lol
And when they say July, they usually mean the end of July :/
My contract expires on the 26th, i've been postponing my upgrade since i was eligible for an upgrade in April.

I'm more inclined to the Samsung, but i've stopped caring about the differences. Whichever is available first is the one i'm getting.
Ha u frakin noobs cant wait for 2 weeks, head over to the Samsung Galaxy S2 thread, we have been waiting since the announcement last year 
Some hope though Altech sent me this : PHO-SAM-i9100 GALAXY S II - scheduled to arrive late June/early July 2011

The comment was being unable for another two weeks... not just two weeks alone :-/
The feedback from Altech does sound promising though, thanks

This review actually has me leaning towards the Sensation:

Strangely, this guy bets better battery life out of the Sensation than the S2.
Oh well, bugger them both, I'll wait for the Nexus 4G
