Bookmarks
JUST AS WITH COMPUTER-BASED browsers, the Galaxy S II’s browser lets you save your favorite sites as bookmarks—sites you can easily visit again without having to retype their URLs. In fact, before you even use your browser, it has bookmarks for a few popular sites, including eBay and Amazon.com (www.Amazon.com).
To see your bookmarks, tap the Bookmarks icon at the far right of the Address Bar. You see all your bookmarks, either displayed as a list or as a group of thumbnails of each of the bookmarked pages, so that you can distinguish them visually.
To switch back and forth between the views, when you’re viewing your bookmarks, press the Menu key and then select “List view” or “Thumbnail view.”
No matter which view you use, to go to a bookmarked site, tap the site. Voilà—you’re there.

If you’re in Thumbnail view, the current page appears in the upper-left corner of the page with a star and the word “Add” on it. If you’re in List view, the current page shows up at the top of the list with the words “Add bookmark.”
