wont it be dirty very fast? previously i was thinking of getting the white..... but think think.... its better to get the black.... wont get dirty too fast.... =.= and scratches will be visible

I have only used it for a few days. so I don't know whether it will look dirty in a few months time....anyway, I might buy other casing to swap every now and then...haha....now eyeing the SGP Neo Hybrid case.....or the Casemate Pop Case....

As for scratches, so far don't have. Regarding fingerprints, so far also don't have, maybe because it is White in colour.

Hi guys,

Please allow me to post 1 off-topic post here.
These are some questions that I always wanted to know more in order to advise my friends. As I have not used an iPhone before, I don't want to simply say the wrong things about iPhone.

If I post these in Iphone thread, they will probably throw me out. So, I hope you guys here who have used Iphone before but now changed to our SGS2 can advise me the following:

For Iphone users, how do they get around/ resolve the following limitatons/ issues? Can they do it? If yes, how?


1) To transfer files to a PC / Notebook using ordinary USB port?

2) To transfer any files via Bluetooth to another phone like Nokia, Sony Ericsson, etc?

3) To watch Website with Flash?

4) If battery spoilt after 1-year warranty, can they just replace the battery easily? Buy and put in yourself?

5) To use video call but 3G (not Wifi)? and to other phones besides iPhone? Possible?

6) To do 3G tethering - ie act as a wifi modem, so that any PC or phone can hook on to the 3G data and surf the Net?

7) To watch any type of video and picture format like SGS2? ie mkv, avi, flv, divx etc?

8) To change their Homescreen and launcher style other than just changing the static wall paper?



In my mind, I think some of the items cannot be done...but some Iphone lovers claim that they can jailbreak. Does jailbreaking allow them to do all the above?

Thanks for educating me.....good for my own knowledge in case my friends ask me about Iphone versus SGS2....

Mostly 300 - 400MB music videos. I'm using MPEG-4 DivX/AVC codecs for my files. I never had to convert or alter any of them, all I did was just copy and paste into the mem cos the phone actually supports the file types and codec.
Previously, I had no problem playing those videos from internal memory.

I just tried playing a 90MB Full HD music video of Girls Generation from my external Sandisk 32GB microsd card and there is no lag....

hmmm....where to find 400Mb file to test???

Can Polaris edit and create Word, Excel and Powerpoint? Let me check it out...




Edit: Aiyah, Polaris is like a File Explorer only....not like Quickoffice sad.gif

does anybody know how to dump the complete stock rom? I noticed that our rom is not available on xda, so how do people intend to restore the phone for warranty claim without it? biggrin.gif

Get it from www.samfirmware.com

I just downloaded KF1 Stock Rom yesterday.
