My new Samsung Galaxy S3 came in yesterday. (no pic because my webspace is still broke)
This thing is off both the hook and the chain. It's got so many megahertz! I'm just... I don't know what to do with it besides play angry birds!
What are the most awesome apps for me to get?
Shut up nemx I'm already getting rage of bahamut.
I got a Galaxy S not long after it launched. Liked the phone. It's still working, my dad is the current owner. I 'upgraded' to the TMo MyTouch 4G Slide because I wanted a keyboard (and 2 core > 1 core) so the GS rotated. Then Samsung decides to give me a Galaxy S II for free because I was a colossal smartass on Twitter. Woo! Free phone! AWESOME!
So I get the phone. It's nice. Had the same problem with the GS2 that I had with the GS... damn thing is like a bar of wet soap without a case. No big deal.. get a case. So I come home one day, step inside from the chilly December air, and put the phone on my desk. 5 hours later I get the "Hey idiot! Someone texted you" alert. Pick up the phone and the display is garbled. Odd.. Meh, reboot the phone. Now there's no display at all.
Somehow, within that 5 hour span, the LCD layer had cracked from one edge to the other. The Touchscreen glass was perfectly fine... the damn LCD layer was destroyed. Sitting on my desk. Untouched for hours.
TMo won't honor the warranty on it since they didn't sell it. I can understand that.. expected it really. Samsung? Wouldn't even talk to me. Made multiple calls, tried sending several emails.. even poked at their twitter accounts. Nothing.
So now it sits on my desk and I ponder what evil science to perform upon the $550 piece of garbage....
In other news, Nexus 7 is pretty awesome for a tablet.

You can probably turn around and sell the phone once fixed for well more than the price of the screen.
Something I hadn't really considered to be honest. Guess I need to track down a replacement screen and look into that.

I'm having a lot of fun with it. Every app or demo I've tried runs flawlessly at frame rates that put my desktop to shame. The built in music player is intuitive and runs well. The kindle app automatically syncs last page read with my kindle, so if I'm reading a book and I want to see a color picture in it, I can glance at my phone and view the same page with maybe two button presses.
So far the negative that really strikes me is that if you enable all the bells and whistles - gps, bluetooth, wifi, music, and a game, to say nothing of mobile hotspot - the battery drops like a rock. I've heard that you can actually discharge the battery faster than it can recharge from a wall outlet. Fortunately a free battery minder app actually helped that a lot.
I'm stuck in 2005.
Help.
