If you're on Rogers, a Fido sim won't work.

Picked up the 0.3mm and yea super thin but I guess that's the point. I'm scared it doesn't provide enough thickness to protect the camera when lying flat. Also the case scratches easy if you care.

Easier to hold than my previous Rock case but that was bulkier and thick enough to keep the camera lens safe.

Black S3 looks ugly in person. It looks like putting a black glossy paper behind a thin glass
Grey looks much better

that's what I meant

Fido & Rogers sims are interchangeable, so a locked Rogers phone will accept a Fido sim and vice versa.

yup..black glossy looks really cheap in person and finger prints and oil show very easily.

Fido sim (in my case, a iphone 4 sim) works in the galaxy s3 but you have to manually enter the network settings everytime its restarted (a huge hassle)

DanHibiki 10-10-2012 03:45 PM

Should there be another thread for the s3 mini or would it belong here?

You're losing the best features if you're getting the mini. No S voice fine. No S beam / NFC... I guess if you don't like making S3 friends and sending them movies on the fly, you could do without it. But the one thing that I can't do without is losing the 4.8" screen. If it were the iphone's retinal display it might be okay, but with the AMO LED, I already have to zoom in all the time to read text. Making it the screen smaller would lead to more scrolling which would suck!

DanHibiki 10-10-2012 10:00 PM

^not unless the rumors are wrong and I REALLY hope so.

800x480 screen??? That's the same as the Galaxy S!

Will there never be a high-end 4" Android ever again?

I might sound like an idiot but can you guys tell if that's an international version or North America? I already e-mailed the seller regarding my question but he hasn't replied yet.

Edit: Fucking guy replies right after I post this :lol

Anyone replaced or know anyone who has replaced their cracked S3 screen? Any idea how much it would cost?

Where did you get this misinformation? The mini will have SBeam/NFC:

Quote:

Other specs include a 1Ghz dual-core processor, likely a variant of last year’s Exynos 4410 chip. Like the Galaxy S II family, the mini comes with 1GB of RAM as well as 8 or 16GB of internal storage. On the back is a 5MP camera capable of shooting 720p video. Inside is a 1500mAh removable battery, a NFC chip, WiFi b/g/n, A-GPS, Bluetooth 4.0 and a FM radio.

The device comes with Android 4.1.1 out of the box, as well as Samsung’s new TouchWIZ suite. That includes S Voice, S Beam, Smart Stay, Direct Call and Smart Alerts, all meant to improve the quality of your phone interaction. As we told you in our Galaxy S III review, some of these features work better than others, though we can appreciate Samsung’s desire for consistency through its product line.
Moot anyway, it's not coming to Canada.

Expresso 10-11-2012 10:18 AM

noob question, but do any custom roms preserve things from the stock s3 like S Voice, S Beam, Smart Stay, Direct Call, Motion gestures, and Smart Alerts?
