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

Anyone else who ordered from UR-mobile got a dispatch email/dispatch status change on their account yet?

guy on the phone said the order had all gone through and i would definitely get the phone monday and the money has come of my card, just concerned that there has been no dispatch email yet.

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.

*Expletive* I just renewed my sim only month by month contract with a 12month one on o2, thought I got a good deal at £10 a month, 300mins and 100mb net. Wonder if I can wiggle out of it... :mad:

ED: Do you know if you can carry your number across to giffgaff?

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).

Setup gmail so that it checks the other addresses.

What SSD you get? You replacing your force 3 with it? If so keeping the force 3 as a spare, still using it or selling it on ;) :p
 
I was just wondering who will actually buy a 32GB/64GB(?) model?

Especially with the expandable memory, i cant see many people wanting 128GB from their SIII.

I'm trying to hold out for the 32gb, ideally the 64gb (only blue). Though, it has been damn tough holding out.

ED: Btw if the price diff between the 32gb and 16gb was greater than I would get the 16gb. However it seems it can be as little as £10 diff

Well this replacement seems good so far, obviously not checked it in the dark yet but if screen has ink splotch effect this time i just dont care lol.

Questions for you guys though please:

1. Do you use google location services? Not sure if that would interfere with things and be less accurate than gps? Should i just leave gps on all the time so that apps that want location can use it?

2. Use the gmail client or the @Mail one that comes as default? My email is a gmail account but i saw someone in the thread pointing out issues with gmail client and when i read reviews on app store they werent very good either, is there a better email app i should be looking at?

Oh that makes sense, i didnt look at the price difference, thought it would have been £50-100 more, like the iphone pricing, if the price difference is less than the price of an sd card it makes sense i suppose, but then you lose the ability to remove it and plug it in elsewhere.

Yes you can, just get your PAC code from o2, I did exactly that.

I would still get the 64gb sd card aswell. I don't buy phones often (last one was over 5 years ago) so want to try and get the max storage for the long term, at least until my lack of patience kicks in. If i remember when I did some quick calcs on the vodafone contracts at launch it worked out at about 80 quid more for 32gb. So seems to vary a lot.
 
So I caved, and decided to grab an S3, another OS swap for meeeee... Never used Android before, but it's very nice so far, but would someone care to give me any useful tips/tricks links to websites which will help me get the most out of this awesome piece of kit :)
 
Nightmare trying to get text messages from the iPhone and over to the S3... Bought two apps from App Store and Play but they didn't work. Turns out I didn't need them anyway and now I've finally managed it.

I can't wait until I get everything over and done with. :p

Edit: Messaging is not responding. FFS

I bought the Samsung 830 series 256GB drive from OcUK and it came with a neat little USB converter so the 120GB Force 3 is now my portable USB drive:

Taking TV series round mates houses will be a breeze. Legal materials of course ;o Haven't decided if I will sell it in the near future though, keep an eye on MM :)

Quick Question.....

Anyone who has now got their Blue S3.....Do you wish you'd gone for white instead?

Lol, that's crazy talk! I went and showed my dad and even he said "oh that looks rather nice, much nicer than the first blue version!".
