Glengus: sqlpro: and screen test with knife, scary !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnwwz0nyOno Wow, makes screen protectors seem a little silly that video was pointless and stupid. of course a knife wont scratch it, it wouldnt scratch any decent glass either. Steel is softer than glass. I dont know why people equate a sharp edge with scratchability.... what we need to see is someone putting some sand on it and giving it a rub.

I was quite amazed that it didn't get scratched...shows how much I know :)

networkn: Props to JB HiFi who swapped my S3 right now when I reported a fault, were friendly, helpful and professional!. So how's the call quality now on your new one? Life is mostly froth and bubble, two things stand like stone - kindness in another's trouble, courage in your own. SGSIII ROM: WanamLite v1.3 Kernel: Ninphetamine v1.1.0 Modem: DXLEA SGSII (Now belongs to SWMBO) ROM: WanamLite v12 Kernel: Siyah v3.3.2 Modem: BVLPB SGS (Cat's chew toy) If you need a download-mode jig ASAP, you're welcome to borrow mine! Works with SGS I/II/III. I also have a SIM cutter available (Dunedin) - happy to post either to you at your cost.
