Just been down to a new Samsung store in high point (Maribyrnong Melb) to have a look at a new phone as i have`nt bought a phone for years, still got an old faithful 6150 nokia and a hand me down old smart phone of my young brothers, in all honesty i probably use the smart phone to about 10% of it`s capacity.
however i like the look of the bigger screens having old codgers disease (dodgey eye`s ), any way i looked at a gs3 and a note book 2, both look very flash ,

the first thing i did was ask the sales guy if i could wack the notebook in my pocket to try it on for size as i had heard people say how large it was.
i found it to be not a pain as i expected it to be, it probably stuck out of my t`shirt pocket about a centimetre and a half, which to me is probably not a bad thing, i`ll never lose sight of it.

even though i will probably not use the phone for even a quarter of it`s capability,
a couple of things i like about it, obviously the big screen is bloody awesome for an old dude with very average eye sight, but also it has apparently a pretty good gps ?
So with that i get rid of having to swap charge cables from ciggy lighter to my mobile to my old tom tom in the car and then after use in the car my phone and Gps stays in my pocket, one less thing to worry about with light fingered buggers in super market car parks etc.

Doing a bit of research about the s/galaxy note 2, one model apparently has the capability to do faster uploads and downloads (forgive me if this has already been mentioned).
also with the notebook it has a slightly faster processor over the sg3 qaud cor 1.4 gb vs qaud core 1.6, from memory like the sg3 , the note can be had with various amounts of ram , up to 64 gb, and standard battery size is a whopping 3100 mAH.

The pen thing looked very impressive, something that will no doubt take a bit of getting used to,
The model i was looking at top of the line(not sure what ram it came with though) apparently N7105t i had a bit of a look for prices on line and the note could be had for $448.00 free delivery to main city`s,
i have to say i`m a bit dubious about buying a pricey bit of kit online even though it is cheap, you hear some horror stories getting warranty from some of these on line mobs.
The new store Samsung store i visited today was also giving a promotional accessory pack with the note worth $250.00 according to the salesman, not sure if it comes with other phones, the note2 from the same store price was $799.00.
even though it is expensive(well it is to me) i get a gps out of it as well so that makes it look a good proposition (sorry for the long post).

Have ordered the S4
Hopefully have it late next week, depending on stock allocation.
I expect it to be quite a step up after having the iphone4 for the last 2 years

Took fricken ages to transfer all my messages from S3 to S4 via Kies - haven't tried transferring all my photos yet :(

It got stuck on 75% transferring my contacts so I just transferred them my gmail account........

BUT I do have a donkey as a Home Computer which is so slow anyway - that would probably be why Kies takes ages for me

You can't transfer data settings for email so that has to be done manually (email settings)

Internet surfing works a bit different and haven't worked out how to save a page to the home screen yet - I know how to bookmark it

It is squarer than the S3 and is nicer to hold :)

Just learning atm
