Only 4G versions, just like with the S2.

It is but I'm not sure if it will work with EE when they role out UK 4G; I'm sure there Samsung will sort this out if it isn't.

Right guys?

I've got an S2...is there a 4G version of it? How do you know if you've got one?

You probably don't, they were pretty carrier-specific in the states, as it made no sense to release them in countries without 4G, and it's impossible to enable it beforehand as different countries use different frequencies.

Any ideas?
I'm guessing your primary email is a exchange server or gmail?

Open up email app >> Menu >> Settings >> select account that has texts syncing with it >> Untick Sync SMS (very bottom)

I find "business calendar" great, much better than any native client on Android or iOS.

Costs 2€ for the add-free version though iirc.
£3.99 ...

Have installed the free version to test ... Thanks

ok guys contract is up for renewal next week and looking at the S3, currently have the Desire HD but dont fancy the X with no expansion slot and pooer battery as the HD has been pretty dire for battery life!

so are all you guys happy with your purchase? seems a few good deals around since they released details of the Iphone 5 which is handy!

Yep; had a small grin on Wednesday when I realised the iPhone 5 didn't have anything 'more' than the S3!

The best thing about it is battery, get 2 days out of easily smile

My email notifications have started working with my Junk mail folder despite previously only letting me know when I had a new inbox email. Its hotmail. How can I stop it?

4g is all hype. EE claim they will have coverage in 16 cities by the end of the year and 70% by the end of 2013. Other carrier wont be launching 4g until 2014 (they can't by the spectrum until then). So, iffy coverage and extra expense (with EE you need a orange/t-mobile contract and will then have to pay extra for 4g).
On top of that as it stands the new iphone wont have 4g on the other networks.

I don't see 4g being of interest until 2014 at least and even then will be pricey.

I dont overly care about 4G as the 3G is generally ste enough anyway! but just thinking that the 'lesser' models may come down in price, I do not want to be with Tmobile again and would like to go back with O2 (wish I'd never left!) but they have only just started to offer a couple of half decent deals on it so wondering whether a couple of weeks wait may save me quite a bit of dosh!
