I also have folder organizer for different icons on folders.. though I think with the new launcher pro update you can just use that.

gay..... that game looks sweet

!MiKrofT 09-11-2010 06:03 PM

There's probably ways around it. If you can download the APK and have Astro installed. I don't know if Tmobile prevents sideloading or not.

After playing with the Galaxy S in Malaysia I am toren now on what to buy...I either get the Captivate for Rogers and Unlock for Fido, get the Vibrant from Bell and unlock for Fido or....what I was originally planning and get the Nokia N8 from the states...

my last 4 phones have been Nokia and I have not had a Samsung for over 4 years...BUT I have to say this phone kicks ass....just can't decide if I should leave Nokia

My jap phone loses reception everytime I enter a lecture hall LOL. Can't wait till I get this phone.

TOS'd 09-12-2010 12:47 AM

my lock button no longer works, my home button doesnt always respond, i cannot add new contacts so i have a whole bunch of people i have to rmb by their phone numbers, the phone is slow as shit, it likes to reset itself sometimes and being a 3g it takes soooo long to restart, im afraid of turning off the phone because i might not beable to turn it back on, when put into silent mode itll toggle itself to normal mode, it will not stop vibrating even after disabling it, the list just goes on and on.

i. need. this. phone. nowwwwwww.

J____ 09-12-2010 06:49 AM

Dude. I had to sell off my 3G because I was so fed up with it. So damn slow for EVERYTHING! I am using my old BB Pearl for the time being until the Cap is released but fuck. iPhone man. It was dope at the time when I got it. As time went on, it turned into a piece of shit.

I'll believe it when I see it. My iP3g is literally dead and the SE K850 I'm using as my backup is resetting itself every couple hours for no apparent reason. I need a new phone and most of the lineup Rogers has sucks. :(

Funny how Telus can state a release date for their variant of the SGS, but Rogers is so bloody tight lipped with it.

Was it updates that screwed up the phone or just aint able to keep up with new apps? My friend's iphone3 got screwed from updates.

A lot of smartphones have built in gps. If maps were bought and downloaded, can the galaxy s use zero data and replace my garmin?

Lomac 09-12-2010 12:40 PM

Out of curiosity, do the SGS's use visual voicemail?

It's a typical Rogers move. They never tell you the date until the day of. My GF works at WirelessWave and she never gets any company communication when it comes to release dates of phones from Rogers. iPhone4? Literally just showed up from the UPS man. And that was that.

Yeah, there's a lot of nav software that stays on the phone and uses no data. I've tried most of them and I say just go with either iGo or Copilot. Don't waste your time with others. If Garmin Mobile XT was available on Android, I'd say go for that. When I travel, I keep a WinMo phone with me as well so I can use Garmin
