New Phone Day

Hey guys,

Thought you might like a tradition from another forum I use, where we do a 'New *something* Day' (usually guitars, as it's a guitar forum). In this case, it was New Phone Day. I got my upgrade on Thursday. I picked up the S3.

Really pleased with it. Coming from my old HTC Desire, it feels enormous and very fast. It does have a couple of niggles, but in the main, now I've got to grips with its own text prediction (more precisely, how you input a comma, question or exclamation mark after a word), I'm finding it pretty cool.

The only thing I miss from my HTC is its browser text reflow. I haven't found a browser which can match it so far (so if anyone knows of any, I'd appreciate any tips).

On to the pics of this awesome phone:

Makes my old Desire look inexcusably small.
 
Nice! I like this thread! Whats the call quality like? Do you think the white will get dirty fast? (I had the one x in white and it seemed to pick up stains quickly but the S3 seems more glossy so I'm wondering if it'll be the same)

I have 18 more days till I get mine... its a horrible wait lol :(
 
Looks like the Desire could just about fit in the screen :p

I went from a Desire to Galaxy S2, which was a big upgrade in itself, so it must feel massive to you!

Call quality is fantastic. My old Desire used to drop calls quite a lot. This hasn't done that, and the sound is great. Even handsfree sound quality is pretty good.

I'm not sure about the finish. The guy in the store I got it from said it may stain/get dirty. My old Smasung Omnia stayed clean as a whistle, though. I'll get a pouch for it, though. I want to preserve its loveliness!

Hahaha, yeah, it now makes the Desire feel like a stamp!
