Many HTC recent devices will get ICS but the same cannot be said about Samsung.
Samsung not doing enough for their customers. This is bad  doh.gif

Samsung wants you to change phone as often as you go for your haircut. More sales for them if you buy another Samsung model (i.e. high end model) with ICS support. smile.gif

But, it leave a bad taste in customer's mouth. My next phone may not be a Samsung make.

@Samsung, do you hear me?!! vmad.gif

Thanks for the recommendation. I have placed an order with the seller yesterday. smile.gif

I have temporarily stopped using my Wonder. The battery is getting over swollen until I find it difficult to close the back cover properly. Worried it might explode any time if I am still using it. ohmy.gif

Not sure if the just launched S3 mini is a good upgrade. hmm.gif

Don't get me wrong. I'm still wondering why there some user are facing 'swollen' battery? Even my office kolik (SGW user) have same problem. Izzit because of the batteries or the charger itself. I have the feeling that the culprit is the defected batteries.

I use original Samsung charger. I never used 3rd party charger but I do use non-Samsung brand power bank. I always charged the battery using Samsung provided USB cable connecting to laptop.

I was informed by Samsung CS, the warranty for battery is 6 months. I am not entitled to claim it anymore. cry.gif

Want to do a survey on "victims" of the fat battery problem.

Is your unit made in Japan, finished in Korea? What is the production date of your battery?

Mine is 2011.10.07.

Try get reputable powerbank brands like YooBao, Pineng, etc. I am using a Pineng. A friend is using YooBao on his Note 1 and S2.

So far so good. No issue.

im first batch user who owned this phone.. so the date of purchase is around mid oct? not very sure myself also. or end of oct of 2011

@peajoel : thank you. just ordered my sun global 1850 mAh too @ rm60..

For my case, the battery bloated after almost one year from the date of purchase.

I got Sun global at RM55, including shipping charge and received it the next day.

Whoever interested, can contact this seller: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1227979
