Not true push, it actually connects periodically to these feed servers.

Moving back to UGJG8, I find the experience much better than JPH.

I can log on to networks instantly.
But weird thing is this fw doesn't have 2g-3g switching.

always on UMTS, but my battery can last me 1 full day - 7.30am to 10pm with wifi on, and constant surfing, checking email and calling/sms.

I had done a lot of changes to my sgs, but i insist not to root it as the risk is too high.
Can u imagine the risk of somebody hack into your sgs and remote access to your camera.
Not possible? think again...

Unlikely, you need to grant it superuser access anyway.

Jas.... jgn la marah marah.... i think he noob la, still scare to brick his sgs....
trust me.... once he already use it some time... sure he wants to root one..

anyway chewlee.... to root or not is ultimaely upto u, n u have power to decide what s best for ur phone...
once u root it doesnt me u cannot claim warranty.... kena pandai pandai la...
u can still unroot and restore back to stock setting before u send for warranty....
most of us know how to do this after some exp with rooting/flashing, some have even bricked their phone doing it (like me) but u learn how to get around...
hope u r happy with ir phone.... but lessay someday u nak root ur phone... find us here.... we can help.

Let me post reasons why I want to have root access.

It allows me to:

1) Uninstall applications in the firmware that I don't use
2) Modify the memory kill levels to let the built in task killer work more efficiency
3) Remove ads from free apps

The Xperia feels like it was released just to satisfy top management that the company is competing in another OS segment.

It lacks the refinement in terms of OS and hardware implementation, and also lacks the commitment from the company to update the OS.

Personally I think even the acer offerings are better comparisons to the SGS than the xperia.

Try using a SGS and see how it compares for you.

my cheap nokia handphone screen breake like that when i sit on it, dont think warranty will cover it though, the cost will probably be the same as you buy a new phone

I read in tread 1 or 2 that service center replaces screens for 600.

I feel that the battery life of the SGS is really up to the firmware.

Currently I am at 87%
Unplugged for 6h 54min xx seconds
Voice call 9min 5sec
Display 32min 15sec
Cell standby 6h 54min xx sec
Wifi on 6h 54min xx sec

quackpack -> it is very slow.

I have yet to try this combination.

Restore apps using appbrain -> install all (no need to click 1 by 1 install)

Then use titanium backup to restore app data.

If you find it difficult to place the cursor for typing.

Try this in swype: Swype from (i) to SYM

Meaning the option/info button to symbol, and up comes the D pad in swype.

Thx guys for the quick inputs!

I've come across those charger/fm transmitter combos online but so far haven't found any in MY, which is kinda odd. Is there something I can use with a standard/generic mount which works with different phones?

Reuben: my car stereo doesn't have a female input hole for the audio jack, and no tape deck either (otherwise can use a tape-based solution). Only got CD deck. Hmmm...am I sh*t out of luck?

ya bro, was srsly considering N8. but....aiseh man, Galaxy S is so keng.
kmrdeva: bro, the FM Transmitter with USB port looks promising! Will start hunting for it here.

Go to computer accessory shops.

Get the USB version, mount ur SGS as portable device.
So you save some battery juice if it isn't charging.
