Actually polycarbonate is compound name for plastic in layman term = same lor... biggrin.gif

I beg to differ. There're many types/classes of plastics. Polycarbonate is very durable, able to resist high impact and deformations without breaking

Actually it's shinny but since it's white you can't really see it like any dark colour. But your fingerprint also hard to see  :-)

The shines of Marble Blue made it sexier. Although it's called Metallic Blue on the phone's box smile.gif

Harddisk, can you make demo for user manual page 27 and 30? It about:
- pan to move
- pan to browse
- lock or unlock screen

All are by motions. Search in youtube still no demo found.

Thankss.

I guess you will know how those works by reading the manual right? For example, while pressing an app in the app drawer an hold, tilt the device left or right so that the app drawer scrolls, letting you to decide which page to put the app in smile.gif

wow that means Maxis sure offer s3 with plan
awesome

For sure all the big 3 telcos will offer plans for this beast. They won't let this pie off their mouth laugh.gif

I think it work same when we browse photo gallery in full screen mode. Touch the photo, then pan to left, screen will go to the previous photo, pan to right, screen will go to the next photo. Then, how about playing music and video, can we move to previous or next video/music?

That's what I meant. I'm saying it's the same as seen in tw4 of SII and Note, not a new feature smile.gif

QUOTE(Harddisk @ May 23 2012, 01:03 AM)
For my own requirements and usage, from what I have read online and brief hands-on. I'd say that, this is a phone that I would not bother to flash custom ROM. These are the things that would stop me from doing so.

1) battery % display (this is the 1st thing I'd go for. Root to flash, but seeing that Kitchen doesn't support 720p resolution, one can only resort to custom ROM, as witnessed in GNex)
2) working FM radio, nuff said.
3) Android Beam on Steroid (hence S-Beam). No need further explanation on this, together with working Wifi Direct.
4) Smart Stay. You never know how useful this is until you actually have it. I'm avid Google Reader user, this helps damnnnn a lot.
5) Various vibration rhythms. Back when the day of Nokia! Not sure if AOSP can bring this on, or just not important enough. This is for gamers only.

That's all for now.

As I said, I would only bother to flash custom rom when Samsung's not updating SIII, where we can't get the latest Android laugh.gif

In Kuching bro? Don't think Kch will have it so early.. History speaks itself

QUOTE(Hikari0307 @ May 23 2012, 01:25 AM)
Well that's a given I guess. If Mass Storage mode available, Samsung would have to partition the internal storage like most android based phones before ICS where there's a small amount of space for apps separate from the rest of the internal storage since the storage can not be mounted on two different devices (eg. the phone and a computer) at the same time and dismounting the internal space with the apps could make the phone go crazy. There are still new phones that use that type of storage like the HTC One series. Google wants android devices to start moving towards a single partition for everything in the internal storage.

It's a good trade off in my opinion for the SIII. You get the whole internal storage for apps instead of measly 2gb or so like my SII which is currently bugging me that I'm running out of internal memory for apps when there's about 200mb left in the app partition.
*
True, I'd prefer them moving this direction. The 200mb restriction is killing. We'll see more apps with large size downloadable straight from market instead of having separate sd data

Something to read on MTP here:
1. Impromptu Q&A Session With Android Engineer Dan Morrill Brings To Light Reasons Behind Galaxy Nexus' Lack Of USB Mass Storage
2. Ice Cream Sandwich explained: MTP - what is it, why use it, and how to set it up
3. Connecting the Galaxy Nexus to your computer via MTP and the lack of USB Mass Storage

Can anyone just summarise the pros and cons of MTP vs UMS?? I don't see MTP having lots of cons

sounds like dat..but dnt know yet..anyone can xplain bout it..?

Try reading the links I posted for their reason to move to MTP. With MTP, the phone is not blocked, meaning the phone can still use the files in the storage when we're transferring files (we don't have to mount/unmount the phone).
And we get the full internal storage (16/32/64GB) for installing apps and data purposes (unlike previously on UMS where we have a separate partition for apps and always having problems with low storage notification).

mtp is slower than ums

This is the main argument. Some people experience faster transfer speed compared to UMS. Installing the Samsung drivers in box and using the original cable might help.. Maybe a large size file will fair better in MTP? Need someone to test and clarify things here. I'm half cup full only biggrin.gif
And there're also complaints on MTP is slower when transferring lots of files, like 1000 files compared to 100 files of the same size

No, you have to purchase it if you want. And it won't be available so fast yet. Maybe around September/October
