There's really no MUST HAVE for the S3 but for general apps you should look in the Android Apps thread.

was this rogers? coz it's technically $209 with $50 credit to make it $159 + 35 hardware upgrade. the most they'll ever do is waive early upgrade fee or hardware admin fee. i've never heard of see them give additional discount on the hardware itself EVER. so i think you were just misquoted.

Not for a phone, but for plans.

If at all possible, next time make sure to get the id number or whatever it's called for the call between you and the CSR. I always do that now so that they can't play dumb with me when I say "a previous rep said blah blah blah"

oh i should of mentioned that all of this was at the rogers' store. the girl logged into my account and saw that i was eligible for an s3 for $159 with $50. the next day i went, it was back to normal.

the reason i didn't get it was because they only had 32gb for $209 with $50 credit. either way i was paying $50 less than advertised price. i didn't need 32gb though.

argh now i so regret not getting it.

Just installed Apex Launcher. Takes some time to tweak right, but pretty smooth. Does it use less memory than TouchWiz? Don't notice much difference in terms of usability so far.

Really? I installed both Apex and Nova, and found Nova to be far less laggy if you haven't tried it yet. In terms of memory I didn't check.

Nonetheless, I really wanted to stick with Nova, but no S Planner widget

Can't find another calendar widget on Play that at least matches S Planner. Even the "top" ones on Play either were ugly and required you to pay for theming, or were not set up for the s3's resolution. So back to TW for me!

I use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...arrison.agenda

Pretty flexible. I actually prefer the scroll down layout of this rather than the "whole calendar" layout of the S Planner widget.

Samsung Galaxy S III may be released in black, according to retailer listing | MobileSyrup.com

Personally I am a fan of the blue, the brushed pebble texture is very attractive. Although if it was brushed black with the same pebble texture it would be even sexier.

While you are in one spot right? I am guessing it keeps connecting and disconnecting while you are sitting at your desk in front of the router???

I have not experienced this at all...my wi-fi connection has been rock solid

check your router, or reset it...

offtopic: my battery life has been pretty good too, lasts me at least 2 days without charging

I think it might be his router since there shouldn't be an issue with the different carriers, or maybe it is some sort of "Battery saving" app he has that is making it go back and forth between data and wi-fi....i have juice-defender running and it hasnt caused me any problems
