Has anyone tried Google Navigation on their S3? Used it for the first time today and at first it kept on flicking all over the place and then got stuck in one place (turn by turn still worked OK).

I tried at lunchtime. I got the usually freakiness of it switching between overhead view and "driving" view that I always get on my Desire after a rebuild.
Also, the direction I'm facing goes all over the place for the first 2-3 miles then it's settled down.

I noticed the GPS fix was MUCH quicker and it keeps up much better than my Desire too.
 
Been playing with my white S3 for 24 hours now and im very happy with it, i will be even more happy once the Gray "Rock" hardcase turns up but its all good. I have one little niggle I can not seem to sort out. My emails are loading up in text format only on both of my accounts, Im getting a little bored of scrolling down the page to click the "load more details" box, just too see the pictures/graphics.

In settings I have ticked the boxes for Show images and auto download attachments but still new emails do not show in there full technicolor glory.

From the prices I have seen on ebay, that looks like a good deal. However, I don't remember if they where the new or old note. Only noticed the prices in passing while searching s2/s3 stuff.

It is a very decent price for a second hand Note, mind you I did say I'll throw in 2 cases with it plus some satnav software. I've just recently moved to giffgaff and unlimited internet plus the Note is just ideal, I don't really want to sell it yet I wouldn't mind a blue S3 either. Think I will try my best to hang tight for the Note 2.

Had no issues so far. I ported my PAYG no over from o2, giffgaff use the o2 network but you get 250 mins (anytime, any network), unlimited texts and unlimited internet for £10 a month.

Just out of interest, would can you do quicker on the iPhone?

Well I find typing on the keyboard faster on the iphone and also the autocorrect seems better to me, I make loads of mistakes on the sgs3, also I find management of emails better on the iphone as I have 5 email addresses and one combined inbox including GMAIL, whereas on the SGS 3 gmail is a separate app then the other email progarm for the others. which means I constantly have to go back and forth between them.

Also the browser on the iphone wraps the text nicely around so that when you double tap you can read each column easily without having to scroll. I do realise that you can get this if you install chrome beta, which I did, but then I noticed rendering issues when you scroll around the page sometimes.

I think because the 4s is smaller it's easier to operate with one hand.

But I am not knocking the S3 though as it is a killer phone, and I love the screen contrast with the blacks, but I think for me I prefer iOs. (will probably get burned for saying this)

Also I find the Music player in the iphone much better/louder than the S3's one. Plus I do have itunes match as well which means my whole collection is accessible even when I'm out and about (if i have a data connection that is).
 
No problem :)

Rooted, now what to do....! I think I'll install this SSD first, get the quick stuff out the way :p
