The last point is also true absolutely. Touch typing is no longer!
BUT:
After much research I came across the Ace 2, because it is more easily and with fewer errors than its predecessor Ace well.
I immediately ordered me to view the white and the black. The white has me immediately liked it better because it looks just fine.
Apart from the color, there are still a difference:
The black lid is roughened, has some structure, the white cover is simply smooth. Both located but great in your hand!
However, the lid acts for a device in this price range just cheap and it surprises me that he sits stable despite only small clips.
For old Ace, I can not say anything, but the Ace 2 has immediately pulled me in its spell, despite great skepticism smartphone!
My first impression:
After inserting the SIM and the battery then looks classy even the above cover. Almost as a good blender like the totally overpriced iPhone! ;-)
After start-up it will be quite good through the settings, thus also immediately my Gmail contacts synced in which I live my mail Adessbuch have previously imported as csv. file.
Pay a visit out a slightly longer conversation without hand fatigue, which surprises me, because Ace 2 is loosely times 30% bigger than my Nokia phone. Thus ergonomics test passed! :-)
Then came my functions Explore-Marathon, continuous 18 clock until the morning by 5 clock. I find it cruel to have a technical device, but not to exploit the functions, such as my buddy who always immediately buys the newest iPhone, but only on the phone, rarely writes SMS and down and makes photos. The main thing iPhone * gag *
Texting was and still is for me after 1 week Ace 2 is not as fast as possible with the key mobile phone, especially since I hold the Ace with his left hand and trying with the right index finger to type fast. I admire as the "double thumbs-speed recorder". The daughter of my friend has demonstrated it in my Ace 2, but how fast it can go. She is very excited about the Ace 2. My girlfriend and she ordered it also. And even a friend of mine. :-)
Genial is solved with the improved T9, which then again brings writing pace with me out. The touchscreen responds very well and the colors are sharp and brilliant over.
The voice command works to 90% accurate in all areas of Ace 2, but I want to keep practicing keyboard. :-)
It's also great that the SMS conversation history can be seen, so I see finally what to do so answer refers.
My 3 email accounts were set up ruck twitch, and because I have my own domain, I had to manually set up, but it was easy. Mail-received, everything easy. Wireless Setup is also very easy and reception strength sufficient. Internet also class, new to me this 2 finger zoom, but this worked immediately.
Photo quality has surprised me the most. Even on a fairly dark party has the Ace made similarly good photos as my 7 MP digicam. The flash LED is very bright and with the off me charged app "Flashlight" I have now also a nice gimmick.
As more apps I can recommend:
SwiftKey (costs after 1 month though 3.99, but is smart and quick keyboard!)
Avast Mobile Security
WhatsApp
aCalendar (SUPER calendar!)
Flinc (Carpool)
Blitzer.de ;-)
The phone directory
MyBackup or My Backup Pro
TV Spie movie
Amazon
ebay
Facebook
QR Barcode Scanner
meinestadt.de
ADAC Breakdown
Packages (tracking)
Find My Car
Flashlight
and above all you should take a place of really dam ... program "Samsung KIES"
Install MyPhoneExplorer to manage the Ace 2 !!
The part has of course many, many other ways, such as also the GPS route planner who runs well, but if I were to list all the functions tested by me, that would be the longest review of Amazon! :-)
Important would be the issue of battery life. Since I am still in the constantly try phase, it would be presumptuous the current term as to evaluate the average. I write then in a few weeks a "Update". But at least one thing I can say:
My initial marathon of 11 hours has loosely packed it with a charge., And the screen was there turned on full brightness + WLAN.
As a holder for the car I recommend to the very "2 mumbi Car Holder Samsung Galaxy Ace"!
And when bag is of the same manufacturer, the "mumbi Genuine Leather Case for Samsung Galaxy Ace 2" at its finest!
Conclusion:
From "Smartphone haters" for almost addicts it takes a lot ... Ace 2 has been able to get me around! :-)
[...] If there are still questions to -only!

I have now tested the integrated navigation system extensively and am extremely surprised that there is much more accurate than my Navigon with newest maps! Already 2 exact house numbers knew the ACE 2, who did not know my Navigon. And the announcements while sound partly strange, but are more accurate in Ace 2!

My friend now has bought also the Ace 2. All in all, already a brilliant smartphone, but a great weakness in the part:
In very bright light / sunshine you see virtually nothing more on the highly reflective display! But the can counteract it: We have the "2 x mumbi Screen Protector Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 Protector Anti Reflex"
draufgemacht, the really great anti-reflective treatment, without affecting the touch-response / application negatively!

Now, after about 1 months use I can say more about the battery life:
I navigate every day about 1 hour, phoning 1 hr. And write about 20 SMS. Internet usage also about 1 hour.
In the evening I have to always recharge.
I think in particular. Navigate with GPS and always visible display correctly draws battery!
But never mind, -to Not I in the car still a charging cable. Otherwise, everything the same! A super smartphone and rightly winner in the computer screen! :-)

Meanwhile, I'm experienced smartphone users and do not want the ACE 2 miss. With the writing of text messages I am now even faster than the key Nokia phone, which I do not use the quick letter to the XT9 dictionary the QWERTY keyboard of Ace, but the 3 x 4 keypad. Much less fiddly and ideal with XT9! So we go right from with WhatsApp! :-)
3 of my friends / acquaintances have now the Ace 2 and are happy with it. So still my absolute recommendation !!

Updated on 21.03.2013
I'm still very happy and now already 9 acquaintances / friends of mine on my recommendation bought the ACE 2! And they are all very happy with the ACE 2. :-)

Critical Update from 16.05.2013
Since today there is the update of Android 2.3.6 Jelly Bean on the newest version 4.1.2 !!
Simply install KIES, the ACE 2 connect via USB and follow the firmware instructions!
Faster or slower, the ACE 2 is incompatible with the 4.1.2, but it has then stop the latest features, such as also the Samsung S3 (Mini)
-------------------------------
Update to switch to 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean)
After much research and many problems after the switch to Jelly Bean I have the ACE 2 revert back to 2.3.6 and it runs much faster than with any tried out Jelly Bean version !!
Also to Forum android-hilfe.de is repeatedly discussed issues related with this update.
Hence my urgent advice:
Finger of the update and if you absolutely want to have Jelly Bean away, then get the S3 Mini, which now indeed is not much more expensive than the ACE 2!
