First things first, the Galaxy S2 is a much better phone than any Blackberry (apart from the new Z10 and Q10), so if it's a straight choice btw the S2 and Torch 2, then the S2 should be the clear winner. Keep in mind that the greatest (some may say only) advantage of bb over Android which is bbm will soon be available on Android, so other things being equal, you should go Samsung. The S2 has a larger and far better screen, better camera, much more apps available etc.

However, I'd never advise anyone to get a Verizon branded phone. Like someone mentioned above, it's a US network and not a UK network, and more importantly, its not a Gsm network, but a cdma network. There are four major networks/carriers in the US: Verizon, Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile. Of these four, AT&T are Gsm networks, while the other two are cdma (just like starcomms and visaphone). As a general rule, its always better to get a phone that was primarily designed for a Gsm network, and that's why you see a lot of UK phones in Nigeria (ALL networks in the UK are Gsm).

My advise, get a galaxy S2, not just a Verizon-branded one. Hope this helps.

Ps: I'm not actually saying that you'd run into network troubles with a properly unlocked Verizon phone.
