Galaxy SIII 16GB Pebble Blue Ref GT-I9300MBDBTU

Its early days yet, but the phone seems good. What I wanted to report was my issues getting it working, so others might not feel so along. 1. A small box arrives with NO INSTRUCTIONS. I mean, no instructions at all, not even 500 pages of guarantee in swahili! 2. So, being technical, and all Google-synched, I knew I just had to swap over the SIM and set up accounts. But my SIM did not fit! New SIMS are smaller! Now there were videos on the internet on how to cut it down with shears! I chose to pop in to T-mobile and they gave me a new SIM for £10.00 and put it in. 3. At home, with WIFI, the system did a firmware update and rebooted. WIFI fine, but outside no internet even though every setting (confirmed by another trip to t-mobile) correct. They could not explain, but suggested I did a full firmware replacement with Kies - archh! 4. Instead, I did a little Googling and found that on the upgrade, some very important t-mobile information was wiped and stopped all data comms. Here are instructions to put it back in (curtesy of [...]) settings > more settings >mobile networks. then ensure that 'Use packet data' is ticked. click on 'access point names'. if 't-mobile internet' isnt there press the options button (the bottom left on the handset) then '+ New APN'. fill in the fields as follows: Name: t-mobile internet APN: general.t-mobile.uk ignore proxy and port Username: user Password: pass ignore server, MMSC, MMS proxy and MMS port ensure 'MCC' has the number 234 in it ensure 'MNC' has the number 30 in it Authentication type: PAP then press the bottom left options button again and select 'save'. then ensure that the tmobile one is highlighted and reboot your phone... hey presto! mobile data :D 5. Finally, if you have IMAPPed your emails and cannot see sub-folders, you just have to click "show all folders" and touch the yellow folder signs with a ">" and they appear! Happy days!

I've had this phone for just over a month now. It's a great phone, superfast, looks great and the screen looks the best I've seen on a phone. Got this instead of the One X because of the expandable storage and you can remove the battery so you can carry a spare; though I was surprised how long the battery lasts even when the screen brightness is turned onto full. Can get a few days out of it with moderate to low usage but I haven't watched many video files on it yet. I also love how the screen doesn't turn off when your looking at it thanks to facial recognition using the front camera. That's a piece of design genius right there that eliminates something that's annoyed me with other phones. What isn't a piece of design genius though is the glass covered front of the phone that sits on top of the screen and runs right to the edge of the phone. This may be super hard gorilla glass that has been marketed to us as something that's hard to break but its still glass and gorilla or not, it can't get around the law of physics. Its very thin compared to its large surface area and therefore very brittle. So a warning to anyone who has bought or is thinking of buying this phone never put it face down on anything that isn't level as I found out last week. Uneven weight distribution, and the fact that the front of the phone is pretty much frictionless caused it to slip really easily off my lap when I was sitting down; it landed right onto the corner of the screen causing the glass front to semi-shatter putting many big cracks throughout the whole front of the glass. It looks pretty bad but everything still works. So I check online about just replacing the glass "lens" on the phone where I run into another design flaw (or a way to make money); the glass surface on the phone can't be replaced without replacing the whole screen (amoled bit, touch digitizer and "broken" glass lens); as they are all stuck together and can't be separated without destroying the whole screen. Price £150... My advice don't take the phone out of its case because it looks better. Anyway given the fact that this device cost so much I really thought it would have been made better. It didn't have far to fall and it damaged it pretty extensively (and new cracks are appearing every day from continued use of the screen). A classic case of looks getting in the way of a sturdy design. Though admittedly, it did look pretty damn good for a month or so...

I can't recommend this phone strongly enough.I wanted one as soon as i saw one & was not disappointed.. Its so much more sexier than the dull as dishwater brick like iphone,with its gorgeously large screen size,rounded edges,thin profile & its beautifully bright & vibrant screen with its Super Amoled display & Gorilla Glass 2,8MP camera on the front & even a great quality photo from the face camera,& extremely fast & responsive with its unrivaled quad core processor.What can i say,Its just a pure joy to use.I can't imagine using any other phone,i'll be honest. Other smart features that attracted me to this phone are cool features such as the screen will stay lit as long as your looking at it,gesture activated actions for answering the phone,muting it,zooming the camera etc as well as the usual methods.Also has S-Voice,which is the Samsungs equivalent of Siri,which is just as good & other features such as high speed photo taking mode,that can take 20 pictures in seconds,so you can get a good shot while you photograph something moving.You can even let it pick the best photo out of the photo blast(the one in best focus etc).I like the way there's a persistent weather report on the home screen(if you have it activated),nice touch.Needless to say i love this phone.There's too many other features to really go into here,so tried to give a general impressions of the ones that immediately come to mind.

Sehr großes Display, sehr gut Übersicht alles gut erkennbar und vor allem leicht zu bedienen genau wie ich es mir gewünscht habe. Alles im allen einfach klasse und sehr zu empfehlen, würde es wieder kaufen.

Solita consegna in tempo record e in confezione integra e perfetta. Il cellulare funziona benissimo e non ha subito alcun danno nel trasporto. Peccato che il titolo dell'inserzione diceva che sarebbe stato bianco ed è arrivato blu.. -.-

Habe das Handy jetzt 3 Wochen und es gefällt mir sehr. Arbeite gerne damit. Kann ich Empfehlen und wünsche allen viel Spaß damit.

Dieses Handy ist einfach eine super gute Investition . Macht super Fotos, und telefonieren kann man auch ( super) Einfach Klasse
