^ cool story bro! 
haha, but yea, Samsung looks like they are gonna woo others with this phone. While it's not perfect, at this rate, the SSG3 would be amazing?

just picked up a brand new one off craigslist for $630.
first impressions, wish it wasnt so wide, but the thin-ness more than makes up for it. if you thought the iphone was thin, this feels much thinner. phone is hella fast, high quality 3d live wallpapers are now useable with no lag at all. what impresses the most is how fast everything is especially web browsing.. with a full flash website, it's still buttery smooth, even more so than the iphone i would say.. overall im truly impressed. sick sick phone....this is as good as it gets lol.
on a side note, this phone was bought from mobileDNA and came in some ukranian language (same with box text). chinese is not supported out of the box.

You can also choose to store your contacts in your sim and later do a sim import on Android.

Does the Samsung support Push email like the BB does?

Shitty thing about android is that only gmail supports push. Normal email accounts retrieve mail at set times. So you would have to forward all ur mail to a gmail account in order to use push.

Posted via RS Mobile | If your other email supports POP3 (which almost all do) then you can setup Gmail to download mail from that account periodically, and Gmail will push it to your phone. With labels you can essentially create an inbox for the other email account in Gmail, then use that label on your Android phone to setup applications and notifications.

If you want push email, but don't want to forward it to another email address, install K-9. (yes you can actually change your email client if you want with Android).

I use k9 for all my accounts. I just like it better than the stock app. Just wish it had a better scheduling feature on when to check emails.

But for users who want even more access to things like overclocking or flashing roms, root access is necessary. It's basically there to protect the phone from being messed around with, whereas IPhone is put in prison so apple has full control over your phone, and knowledge of everything you do with it.
