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

I don't like the look of that black mesh case on the white s3, I'm leaning towards the white nillkin hard case.

I thought it was your wifes?. lol

I was in tesco today and puchased the see-thru case. Personally i dont see the black mesh and white phone being nice looking at all but would like to see the pictures of those who have bought them.

Bit of a video here

I personally like the looks of it, considering buying it but any case that I've bought for older phones I have always taken them off again after a few weeks use.

I'm still setting it up for her.

Seriously though, I rang t-mob yesterday to port her number over and because of the long weekend, it will get done on thursday. I am handing it over to her permanently then lol.

I'm sorry to say, but you've completely ruined the phone.

No, I have not done anything to the phone at all.

I felt the glass is really smooth - maybe because it's new.

The 'HyperGlaze' feels nice. The home button placement looked odd in the pictures - but in the flesh it looks fine and right.

The screen is definitely smoother than other phones new and old. It must be Gorilla Glass 2. Place the phone face down on any surface with even a slight incline and it begins to slide in that direction.

My CPW refund went through today!

Still not sure what do to about my S2, I was set not to buy the S3 but all the comments on here make me want it

I should stop reading this thread!!

 

[kitch9]

Yeah if you have a **** router then you're going to get **** wifi.

Nope, my S2 was pathetic compared to my old Desire, never mind my One X. I've just been on holiday with a group and a few of them have S2's and they all struggled in the hotel whereas I got a strong signal all over.

My S2 couldn't get a signal in my Kitchen, where my One X reads full signal.

I won't get a S3 if it's more of the same, as it drove me nuts.

 

[sunny007]

do you know how to cut it properly? - if you don't, follow an online guide.

Is is the same as the iphone sim ? if so then I'll use that as a template.

What makes you think that? I can assure you the S3 is definitely not more of the same - the wifi seems to be far stronger compared to my old S2 (as in i can sit in the garden and still be on wifi where as I had no chance on my S2)

same yes - but positioning is key. Needs to be like this:

Reading this thread and seeing the phone in the flesh is making me feel like a made the wrong decision on buying the OneX after a saw the initial pics of the S3 which made it look cheap and nasty but in the flesh it looks so good... bahhh

 

[Piecan]

I fixed it. I had to go and force close before clearing the data for the Camera app. Now I have the button

I haven't got the camera icon when recording. Where do you go to clear data for the camera app please?

Also does anyone know if you can use Swype when browsing? Can't seem to find any setting for it.

The pics definitely do not do it justice. The design is so good imo it makes the phone feel much smaller then it actually is when you hold it.

 

[grudas]

See i think the blue looked nice, but not so sure i like it more than the white after seeing both. Of course i didnt get to have a good look and play as the staff wouldnt stop bugging me!

Will go take another look tomorrow and maybe sign for the white one.

Guess im just bored of my white s2 and want a change both look really good tho!

 

[sunny007]

Does anyone's middle button make a squeaky noise when clicked?

 

[sunlitsix]

It doesn't squeak but I have managed to get it stuck a couple of times.

 

[steve5424]

Was the case in store? The black and white combo looks the dogs imo.

Just press the red rec button quickly the once.

Any chance of some pics showing it off please mate?

Yes the case was in store. CPW and P4U seem to be charging £15-20 for the same case!!

Will try to upload pics in the morning.

Edit:just noticed photos already added by others.

The s2 button got stuck and squeaked for me when new. I stopped doing this after a week.

A month ago I was deciding between the HTC One V, S and X.

I'm glad I waited and didn't get either lol. It's just a different phone altogether. I can even forgive it's greasy plasticy back cover.

You shouldn't the one x is an awesome phone too! Don't get sucked into the "new phone hype" of the S3 if you have a one x
