I have been obsessed for months about getting this phone, constantly checking the release date. When it was finally released last Thursday (31st of May), I ordered on Optus straight away. This new toy of mine finally arrived Friday morning. I was tracking my phone like crazy, sometimes I think I have OCD or something.
Here are some pics I took of my awesome phone
When I open the box, I was surprised at how thin and light this phone is!! I can't really comment on the phones hardware since I'm not a techy person but it's fast and has a quad core!! I love the big screen, good for watching youtube in bed or reading news on the train. The camera is amazing too!! I recently signed up for Instagram (sparklingker), get ready for some random photo spamming lol Let me tell you this phone is BIG. My hands are quite large for a chick and I can only just manage to wrap my hands around it. Overall, I am very impressed with this phone.
So far the apps I have downloaded are:
- draw something
- barcode scanner
So tell me, are you an android user? Recommend me some free apps to download!! I never pay for stuff I can get for free lol
Thanks for reading =)

Ahhh the Galaxy!! I've been wanting ANY of them for a long time...T_T; Congrats on your pretty new phone!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy! This phone is great!

ReplyDeleteGreat...!!!
ReplyDeleteHey dear...download apps "photo wonder" ..it's an amazing apps for editing photos.xoxo
thanks for letting me know chocoandpink!! I just downloaded and its lots of fun, best of all no ads!
Deleteo.O My Samsung is 3 years old and no has Android... :(
ReplyDeleteThe older samsung were good too, I had a few of the slide phones!
DeleteThat is a sexy phone! I love the android os so much better than apple and windows versions. I'm in need of a major phone upgrade my is super old now I've been looking at the note but this seems even better.
ReplyDeleteI wanted the note initially too but then I realised it was too big to carry around so I waited for this.
DeleteThat's a nice looking phone, but I gotta stay true to apple. I'm an iphone chick.
ReplyDeleteApple is good too, B uses it and loves it! but i have never used apple before.
DeleteThe phone looks amazing! Didn't know samsung were coming out with the s3 and got myself the s2 a few months ago. Should have waited^^
ReplyDeleteI was going to get an s2 too! I actually like the design of it more because it has that squarey look
DeleteLovely looking phone, mine is getting old xxx

Niiiice! I still have yet to purchase a smart phone. I'm so behind on technology lol. I'm planning on getting one soon, hopefully. I'd like to start Instagraming too :)
ReplyDeleteRinny!!! lol you are one of the very few who havent got a smart phone, once you get it you cant go back!!
DeleteI got the HTC one x, recently and love it as well. Especially the big screen and the better camera. its so good. my fav apps are dropbox for immediate photo transfer to your computer, woolwoorths for shopping lists and eBay of course.
ReplyDeleteI was at optus the other day and they had one x and sg3 side by side, I think they are exactly the same size or atleast very close! I have the dropbox app on my phone but havent created an account yet.
DeleteI've got android (Sony Ericsson) and it is quite good. It is 18 months old and still works quite well.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite apps are - eBay, Winamp, FxCamera, PhotoGrid, Tunein Radio and Calorie Counter (I track everything I eat, then access my data online and send reports to my personal trainer)
I use to have Calorie Counter too, its an awesome app but then after a while i got lazy and kept forgetting to put what i ate in.
DeleteI'm desperate for this phone! I too had been tracking the release date for Australia, reading review after review....alas, my current contract with Optus doesn't 'expire' until January 2013 and I just can't afford (and don't really want) to pay the fee to get out early AND then re-sign to another 24 month contract for this. Sigh.
ReplyDeletethat was the same thing for me when i broke my phone 7 mths ago, they said i needed to pay $$$ to get out of my contract and I just thought ill buy a cheap phone to use while i wait.
DeleteSuch a pretty phone! I want! :)
ReplyDeleteI've got the old fashioned phone as I cannot justify the cost of getting a smart phone. I know that when I do move on that I would love to get the Samsung as I have heard so much about them!
Samsung's are great!
DeleteHahaha omg, just reading that is making me debate between the S3 or the Note! DX
ReplyDeleteThe phone looks absolutely gorgeous and I'm extremely tempted to just buy this phone outright :(
Thanks sweetie! <3 I think I'm slowly becoming an Android convert haha
The note is huge!! I was on the train the other day and this dude whipped out his note and i was like omg that's almost the same size as my tab lol
DeleteSo this is not a sponsored post LOL?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a cool phone!
Nope not sponsored lol man how sweet would it be if it was!!
DeleteI have an S2 and I love it! I recommend getting a Flashlight app, its turns your flash into a torch which is handy sometimes. And Bubble Blast 2 is a good game for those moments when you just need something to do that doesn't require much thinking =)
ReplyDeleteI got me a note! Don't want to use it til I get a case for it though - ordered a couple on ebay (why pay so much more at the shops?!) and yep... it's pretty big but I still love it.
ReplyDeleteLove the look of your new toy! I have been looking forward to it's release and it sounds like it is full of features :) Wish I could get one but I have another year left of my contract with my Galaxy S2 (which I love!) so I will have to wait a while but by then they will have a new one.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, I much prefer the look and use of this over an iPhone! x
ReplyDeleteyaaay for #teamandroid!! I just got my Galaxy 2, but that's bc the states are slow and we never get cool gadgets right away.
ReplyDeleteINSTAGRAM!! MY favorite!!
