[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 832776, member: 199791"] Ever since I first got my GalaxyS two years ago, I was impressed from day one as to what I could do with it, after using mostly basic Nokia phones for years prior, so despite my reservations toards google and their incessant need to harvest personal data, I was sold on Android from then on, and subsequently I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (GT-P7500), and now I have my Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300), the amount of customisation and addons and whatnot that you can do for free, perfectly legally too, is astounding, and you don't need any interface with your computer other than a USB cable, the rest is done by whatever file browser your computer uses (e.g. Explorer in Windows), rather than being forced to use software the manufacturer says you MUST use... But all that said, I'm still more fascinated by vintage telephone hardware, heck, last Friday I got my SGS3 and an old 80's BT payphone (takes 2s-sized 10p coins), and I was playing more with the payphone than I was with the SGS3 for a few days!!! O-Ha At least with those there's no risk of being fined for unplugging them and using them off-network... :-rofl2 [/QUOTE]
