***The Official Samsung Galaxy S III Thread***

Mine has just turned up.

it works, and it's the best/cheapest way to get a sim free handset. :)

Nice one, as expected ;)

Talking of deals there's a deal on Groupon, 3, 500 min, 5000 text, unlimited data for £19 and 24 x £29 with a cheap bt hs and a cheap car holder, works out at £715 with unltd data.

Compares well with £500 and a £15 3 or £10 Giffgaff both common routes, though folk taking that route usually get cash back too so shop around cause the Giffgaff option only needs to beat £25 cb to win over Groupon but with half the mins.

I'm very tempted but don't think I could live with the purple belly button on the "blue" and the white front doesn't appeal for viewing and imho the back looks meh, however I'm still tempted because the phone seems sooooo good, damn, damn, damn.

On any of the above options the S3 can be owned and operated, freely re data, for about £1 a day, I spend twice that on blackberries, excessive I know but I've lost over 3 stone, 12.25 now:D

Sure but prefer no branding or simlock, I find annoying will need to root and unlock or wait for the unlock from O2 (7 working days).
O2 never locked their handsets before...they are going down
 
Right just a quick question as i cant seem to figure it out but on the stock rom with the SGS3, when you create a folder then go into the folder i dont see any options on how to add apps to that folder. Seems like you have to go into your app drawer and drag each app into the folder you want. Is this the only way that you can add apps to folders??...if so pretty retarded way of doing it:p.

With my One X, they had a plus sign at the top right hand corner of the folder and when you pressed that, you could choose one or any x amount of apps to add to the folder. I guess this is not possible on the stock rom that the SGS3 has??

Unless someone knows of a way and i just havent figured it out:p...if so could someone kindly tell me how to do it as doing it one by one is time consuming to say the least.

Tbh I'd have it rooted and unlocked within 1 hour of receiving it but I know what you mean, my o2 Note bought as soon as they were available, late Nov iirc, wasn't locked though, I've run it on both GG and 3, 3 now.

I don't even know how to create folders in the first place. :p

PAYG handsets are unlocked but anyway you can unlock for free with application from the Play Store :)

:p on the home screen, press the left button next to the home button, it should pop up and give you the option to create a folder.

Anyone have an answer for my question a couple of posts up??

Welcome to Samsung......... There's probably been a lawsuit about it at some point.
 
Okay just got it and managed to painfully get my contacts from my iphone to the samsung.

Is beautiful widgets the best widget thing to get or are there other good ones?
 
Just got my s3 in the post from Vodafone buy I've put the microsim in and it won't get off of emergency only. Is there some activation I need to do? Also is there any way to get it text wrap like HTC can?

Had the s3 a few days and im seriously impressed, sound quality is brilliant something which really bothered me on my s2 and the screen is gorgeous! This phone is pretty much perfect and battery life is simply stunning.

Running omega 5.2 and francos kernel, cant wait see what the roms have in the future.

phone 191, tell them you've just received the phone and it needs to be activated. You'll need the number on the sim card to do this. They will disable your old sim if you have one and activate the microsim for your account
