    Picked up my shiny new Samsung Galaxy S3 phone this morning - now I have to wait for 4 hours before the sim-swap takes effect, so I can't play yet!

    So, for a while, I am on the dark side of the moon...

    Yep, had the same experience about BB abroad ... I think the only reasons they're feasible over here is due to data costs being so high in comparison; and most of SA are not using the more advanced features of "smart-phones" (i.e. as if it's a mini-computer in your pocket instead of just a communication device). I think the BBM has died because of stuff like Twitter & Facebook and the like - no more text, rather photos / video. Seems the trend is towards "bling" on your communications ... how long that'll last is anyone's guess.

    As for Apple/Samsung fighting ... it seems to get pretty hairy in that court case! http://www.pcworld.com/article/26037..._of_court.html
