Is this a good deal for Galaxy S2?

Hi,
A few weeks ago I lost my blackberry phone but still have 5 months left on my Virgin Contract. I have been using the new simcard they sent me with an old nokia but really miss browsing/accessing emails etc, so I rang Virgin to ask about buying myself out of my contract and they have offered me:
Samsung Galaxy S2 with 200 mins, 3000 texts, 3000 virgin-virgin minutes and 1GB internet for £20 per month/ 24 months. I just have to pay a reduced price of £30 to buy myself out of the old contract.
It seems a great deal for a phone I like, but am wondering if prices for the S2 are likely to drop dramatically now that the S3 is being introduced. I am not likely to get an S3 as they will be too expensive, but any advice about whether I should wait a couple of weeks or get this deal now would be much appreciated. I am happy to stay with virgin as 4 family members are also with them so the free V-V calls are handy. Thanks in advance :)
