mine arrived and just finished charging it to 100%. i guess i'm very conservative in my tech items, meaning despite all the claims of needing or not needing to first charge it to 100%, i figure it can't do it any harm, so i might as well follow the common wisdom and hopefully, get some extra minutes of battery life out of it.
well, as Samsung Smart Transfer takes a good long while to get done, i can't do it now but will do it in a few hours upon my return back to my desk.
the black phone is surprisingly nice. the edges are no longer aluminum or steel colored. the edges are now black. hope it is anodized and the black won't come off easily.
some have told me about issues with Samsung Smart Transfer, and that they had duplicate phone contacts. others have said no such issues. ugh. i can't remember what i did last time but i did actually use Smart Transfer last time but i forgot the details and minutiae by now.
