Jattennz: Placed my order with Clove.co.uk for the Galaxy S I9000 :) Does it normally take a while until you get any email from them? Ordered earlier today but haven't even got a email to confirm or anything. I suspect the timezone thing has some bearing on response - I ordered mine on a Monday evening, had the request for some other form of address confirmation in 10-15 mins, scanned and emailed a CC statement back within 10-15 mins, and the phone turned up by Courier Friday morning. Happy chappie

RE: Power Strip Stumbled on this today (thanks NewsRoom!). Really quite a nice little UI add on. Now when I single press home screen it takes me to home, long press it brings up recent apps, but double click and I now get the Power Strip UI appear - over the top of any app/place I happen to be in the phone. Does quite a few nifty things, task switching for one, even opens widgets from within Power Strip, lets you context-menu the apps for doing a bunch of stuff like sharing their market links to FB/Twitter/Email/Bluetooth/Messaging etc, uninstalling, force closing...

Happy chappie haha nice, I hope mine goes that smoothly. Did you use Airsure for shipping, did you get pinged at customs? I used a work address for shipping so have to do the card check where they put a reference on my card, have to wait for morning to call and find out what it is :(

Quick Question about the Galaxy S. Is it possible to remove and replace the Touchwiz from the phone? Im trying to choose wether to get a Galaxy S or google Nexus 1. I dont like the Touchwiz at all. Also, if you can replace it, is it a hard task? Could a complete noobie do it without bricking the phone? :)

You can just replace it with something like LauncherPro. At some point custom ROMs without it are sure to appear, I'm really waiting on the cyanogenmod ROM myself. Twitter: @nztechfreak Blogs: AndroidNZ.net

eking - http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=97&topicid=60136&page_no=32 Might be chinese version of the phone. They have a couple of reviews on pricespy, but some of the reviews have been removed and labelled "under investigation" ?fake reviews. hard to say how legit/good the company is.

hmm bugger. I was thinking if I can find a galaxy S for $800 or a little less I might actually be able to afford one.

Nick, save up a couple of bucks and buy from someone reputable. I've seen those cheap suppliers on trademe and pricespy and they're cheap for a reason, poor service and non existent after sales support.

(I've emailed them re:GST I think you don't need to pay GST/customs on top of that price, but I await their reply) HTPC - Intel i3-2100 / 12GB / 13TB Storage / HD4670 / HVR2200 / Win 7 x64 + MediaPortal 1.3 Final PC - Intel e8600 / 8GB / HD5830 / Win7 x64
