I am exempt



it doesn't really matter that much, it may make a difference on high res video or something but I doubt it will make any difference on music or pictures

In actuall fact class 4 can be much better for mobile phones as the random write speeds are far superior than class 10

Pffffffffffffffft...32GB is sooooooooo 2011.

class 4? make that 2010

what kind of random writing is done on sdcard? all of that is done on internal memory. You want the max write speeds for copying data across.

Yup that's and the s3 writes at high rates for 1080p video so will be interested in seeing sustained write speeds if I am to get one for my dad's s3.

Going to pick up one of these sim cards from o2 so that I don't need to cut the one in my 5800. Should just be a matter of popping the smaller one out when the S3 comes

Not bad, not bad at all.

S3 writes 1080p video @ 17Mbps = ~2.2MB/s

CPW pre-orders can be picked up form 7PM on the 29th:

Just called my store and they don't know anything about it, will call on Monday to double check.

I'd be surprised if they even knew about the S3

 

[Dangerous]

I'd be surprised if they even knew about the S3

They did say they hadn't taken many preorders and they couldn't guarantee delivery on that day!

I said I've order it online for a store delivery so there better had!! Said that would be separate to their deliveries.

I'll go APE **** if it isn't there

 

[e36Adz]

I made the mistake of going to my local CPW when the Note was released. I won't be going anywhere near them again that's for sure.

 

[Danger Phoenix]

I'm relying on the information Play gave mrk on the phone being delivered on the 30th

 

[mrk]

So am I

 

[DIABLO]

Fingers cross for a 3000+ mAh extended battery for this that isn't gigantic! Or at least 2600+

Damn you Razr Maxx for being stupidly price

You could get one of those external batterys to plug into when you're watching video, should'nt be too much of a hinderance as you would be still when watching.

 

[adriancal]

Thinking about getting a sandisk mobile ultra SDXC 64GB for my S3,
my attitude being buy one big card so won't have to buy another
card again.
Any opinions? Is this card going to live up to my expectations?

 

[mrk]

What expectations exactly? It's a near bomb proof card (literally, check the spec) and is 64GB...what is there to expect?

 

[Robbo]

How can an SD card not live up to your expectations?

Yeah, I'm tempted to but it's just one more thing to carry for me.

Maybe he expects to overclock it to 128GB.

If it doesn't make the tea and butter the crumpets.
