Got my Galaxy S3 today

[Sapphiron]

I got my Galaxy S3 32GB white today.

Here are some of my thoughgs in the first 2 hours:
1. damn the screen is pretty
2. damn its fast
3. where do I disable this damn bubble sound, I am getting seasick.
4. goodbye standard widgets and shortcuts. except you weather/clock widget, you can stay.
5. Hurray, the exchange email supports HTML rendering
6. why no USB hard drive mode .
7. comparing with old HTC Desire... S3 is thinner, lighter, bigger battery, bigger screen, all good then.
8. excellent samsung did not partition the storage like HTC does. sorry HTC, the dumbest thing you ever did was limit the application space to 160mb (50mb usable) for apps.
9. 1000mah charger. I better take this one to the office for fast charging there. My non Samsung chargers will only charge at 600mah. Will use that one for overnight.
10. need moar HD live wallpapers. need to ensure jealousy induced clenching of teeth at the office tomorrow. will go to black background after a few months.


feel free to ask me any questions, or have any ideas what I should try with it.

Congratulations on your new S3, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I've had mine for a week now, came from a S2. Whenever I use my S2 the screen looks so puny.

I'm still contemplating on whether to root my phone or not. I'm very happy with the stock rom so I'll probably stick with it for now.

Is it better than the iPhone? Have you tried an iPhone? I hate the iPhone. Just so you know.

Can I have it?

what does this cost prepaid?

I'm still on a learning curve with my Galaxy S. But I like it a lot. There are times when it would vex me with some arb application running the battery flat...

Definitely looking to get the Galaxy S3 as my next phone...

The original iPhone sure. As an ex-Desire owner I'd say the 4 was on in par.

Desire was as good as the iphone 3GS that came out the same time.

but My HTC desire today is far more flexible (with android 4.0) than the now abandoned iphone 3GS.

I did a benchmark against a friends Ipad3. If I disable my flash, My Galaxy S3 renders the myboardband news page about 30% quicker than his iPad3. If I enable flash, it takes about the same time.

Shows you why Apple has done away with Flash!

EDIT: btw, the 3GS came out about half a year before the Desire.

Nice. I have the HTC Desire as well and my contract ends 26 June. No prizes for guessing what is next
Pitty about the white iPhone colour though
