you can download apps directly off google, there is no jailbreak on android. its comes down to whether you want to pay for the app or not and keep getting updates on the regular

Getting the S3 from Rogers on monday only thing I'm concerned with is the built quality and dropping the damn thing. Can anyone recommend some good sleak cases from metro?

The official Samsung slim cases are nice. They cover part of the edge bezel too.


I recommend them for those getting the white S3.

Wireless Wave has them.

they are ok, but they are really really thin and doesn't really provide any drop protection. it'll protect your backplate from scratching that's about it.. i grabbed a few of those from my rep and i don't use it. just go get an otterbox if you are worried about dropping. but as for screen protectors get a wet application one. the zagg ain't bad, i got an ishieldz on mine and it looks great.

if you want to download apps just search on google for the apk and load it on to ur phone and install. don't really need to jailbreak it.

What's the difference between cheap and expensive screen protectors..? I just get $3 ones from Bill at Odlin and put it on myself.

the point of a screen protector is to prevent the phone from scratching, not preventing it from breaking. the phone screen is "scratch resistant" it's not scratch proof. so how does a screen protector have anything to do with how tough the screen is?

curious question to the ex-galaxy nexus owners..do they still have quality issues with the SAMOLED screen on this phone? If so the LTE version or Tegra 3?

ive dropped my N8 (with gorilla glass too) from many many heights (2nd floor to 1st floor of the mall)

and the glass/phone is fine i got a dent in one of the plastic end caps but that's it



anyway Remember that burnt SGS3?



Samsung said the only way they could replicate the damage was to stick it in the microwave

and the original owner with the issue came out and said his buddy stuck it in the microwave to dry it out for him

Samsung explains the reason for the exploded Galaxy S III - GSMArena.com news

At this point seeing the speed difference between LTE and non-LTE; as well as the benchmarks between dual and quad core, I'd say LTE is more beneficial than the quad core.

Depends what you value more. For me, I personally rather have more battery life than a faster connection seeing as HSPA is already fast enough.
