Thats one thing apple cannot do. Im sure the ip5 will be great, but the SGS2 is in a league of its own

*Waiting for apple fanboys*

thanks, not overly familiar with android phones. do u have to jailbreak them as well for free apps and such....or what?

Nope, as long as you have a gmail account just go to the market and start downloading

So you're saying we can download paid apps on the market for free?

No...you can get free apps on the Market and you can buy paid apps on the market only.

Easiest way would be to export your outlook and import it to your GMail so you never have to worry about any phones you buy in the future, and whether or not they will sync with outlook. You can export your calendar, contacts, notes, etc. all to GMail and then simply add them to your phone using your GMail account.

That is the easiest way to do it.

Google has an app that will install on your PC and sync with your outlook to gmail.

Sync with Microsoft Outlook - Google Calendar Help

I myself use companionlink.

Is there a way to change the double tap of the menu button to something else rather than voice control?

mmm those were from a long time ago..every time they screwed up my bill and I had to chat them up for an hour I always got them to compensate me..

its much easier to get monthly plan credits first..then attempt for the feature credits than the other way around cos reps tend to tell you nowadays they'll credit your incoming calls for example but apply a plan credit and tell you you can't get anymore credits cos you maxed out your plan credits already. They won't willingly switch ur plan credits to feature credits to give you more cos the plan credit is tied to your incoming calls.

sell_item_604 08-23-2011 08:22 PM

anywhere unlocks phone at this time? hahah

Gh0stRider 08-23-2011 08:27 PM

do it yourself

BrRsn 08-23-2011 10:03 PM

Deciding between this phone and the bold touch. So torn, this phone does everything and the berry just has bbm going for it (screens tiny as hell if you compare the two).

Does anyone know where to get the galaxy locally besides craigslist? Also what case do you guys have on it? I'm scared that with the plastic housing and me being a butterfingers it'll break really easily without a case.

!Yaminashi 08-23-2011 11:29 PM

If you're spending top dollar on a phone I'm pretty sure you'll be taking good care of it
If you need the Berry for work and email then get it. Otherwise its pretty useless IMO.
My gf was a hardcore Berry user, now she's on android and she still gets by using that for work

Oddly enough, right after I posted that it started working lol

Have any of you tried disabling your camera shutter?
I've googled it and apparently there are two ways, the easiest seems to be to create a local.prop file
then entering some text into that file

sell_item_604 08-24-2011 02:41 PM

barely there cases. do they scratches side of your phone?

i had some other cases on my torch before and it was a disaster

The ROM I use removes the shutter sound. It just makes the focus beep.

Barely there is soft touch inside and out. I haven't had it scratch any of my 3 devices yet.

Here's an even better feature; using the volume down button to autofocus then snap a shot.

Camera.apk

Spoiler!


I'm not sure if the camera.apk file i provided has removed the shutter sound, but if you want to:
