Samsung Galaxy S3 - It's Finally here!

[carey]

Just out of the box - haven't had a chance to play with it much as it came around 10pm last night...

Question - I downloaded a few apps from the Google Marketplace - the apps manager said they are installed but I can't find those apps to pin onto the home screen?

Is it because I never put in my SIM card? hahah

Still using my fruit phone for now - cos I haven't transfer all my junk out

Which leads me to my next question - what's the best way to do data migration from fruit phone to S3?

 

[carey]

porting over of number is rather easy, as the telco will handle everything for u. jus need to w8 for ur number to be ported over lor. would take a few days i think.

sian leh. y new line sign up can waive off sim card charges but existing lines re-contract from big 3g sim card to microsim card need to pay? machim penalise ur existing customer right? talking abt orange anyway.. the cso die die dun wan to waive off for me...

No leh, both Red and Green gave me a free micro SIM card even though I didn't ask for it - already using one on my fruit phone...

Red one even comes with an adapter...hahah

I dont prefer neither ui. But small text looks much better on htc one x. Also i like the ability to toggle on off flash player from menu button on the one x. No text reflow is also frustration on samsung but i think can live with it.

i believe text reflow is in the settings, maybe its not auto but double tap like aosp browser.

Apps is the page where u find all your apps, homescreen for shortcuts and widgets.

Bro.. Pull "up" the earth pin, then you can slot in the other part. To form the 3 pin plug.

Call starhub mobile service hotline, they will guide you to reconfigure new APN without using proxy. After which it will be blazing fast.

Mind sharing that configuration?

Nope, it's not there...hahah

I am not a complete tech noob

The download page is blank

Is it because I never insert SIM card?

The courier did give me a printout of how to configure the settings

Let me get home and scan that in - should be a big help to everyone...

How come they never give to everyone ah?

 

[masashi]

Also one more thing. For the phone itself, I can't seem to find the Samsung unlock option anyway under the settings...Is it only available to the European sets?
