Samsung Galaxy S3 - It's Finally here!

[Errz]

Woot! . its finally here.

Compare to S2
- Speed is faster (duh.. everyone knows it haha)
- Smooth (another duh..)
- I love the screen. it has much better fingerprint resistant than S2.
- microSD slot. no longer need to remove the battery to take it out.
- Home button . kind of small and located way near to the lower end. not quite liking the feel of it.

Where's my S2? pack in the box and ready for trade-in.

anyone know how to change the lock screen app? i don't want that Chat-on thing.

Hi guys, did anyone in this island get any S3 pebble blue at all at any telcos?

 

[manaeater]

Any bros here using Note and gian the S3?

im still contemplating whether to get S3 or Note

i love Note for the big screen, but i love S3 for all the newer functions.

Qn is, will Note get these functions as well in future updates? if not, S3 for me. But if yes..hmm again...

And 5.3" VS 4.8" is it very obvious...?
