The Galaxy S2 arrived

Have spent several hours sorting things out so far, and I'm pretty happy :)

Why are we waiting, why are we waiting..

Pixmania were fast at shipping my Galaxy S2, but I had forgotten how long their distribution takes.. coming from France I guess.

The Galaxy S2 is on it's way!

Pixmania Norway certainly got things moving fast on my new Samsung phone. So, in preparation, I have ordered a Case Mate cover, a spare Samsung battery, and just a few minutes ago, a SanDisk MicroSDHC 32GB card, which brings the total up to 48GB, enough for some HD video work..

Should be back with my first impressions next week :)

YES! Pixmania came through..

I received confirmation that my Nexus One had been credited in full, and was able to order a Samsung Galaxy S2 for just NOK 550 more. I would have liked the Galaxy Nexus, but it will be a while before that becomes available in Norway I feel. So, I look forward to receiving the 4.3" device in a few days time, and seeing how it compares with the iPhone 4.

Close to a Pixmania solution for my Nexus One

I had to chase Pixmania again as their promise of a reply after 21 days had overrun by almost two weeks. This has resulted today in my receiving an email from them saying that refunding of the full purchase price is currently under consideration, and I will soon hear their decision by email.


Good so far.. 

Official iPhone 4S prices announced

A couple of days ago just a couple of sites were offering iPhone 4S for ca. NOK 7000 !

Today the Apple Store listed prices for unlocked units which were much more affordable - e.g. NOK 4890 for the 16GB model..

I do not need one, my iPhone 4 is perfectly OK for my needs, BUT who isn't tempted by the improved camera, and by Siri's dulcet tones ;)

So, I'm going to think about it over the weekend..

iOS 5 and OS X updates

I found the iOS 5 updates early on the 13th Oct. and although the downloads took a while, everything went remarkably smoothly.. well done Apple!

I lived with the New iMac updates first, and after a while updated the MB AIR OK..

The Old iMac was taken a day or two later, and went just as well.

Nice to have the Notifications on iPhone 4, and iCloud seems to be working well, tho' I have Eye-Fi which updloads to their Server if I want it.

Like others I think the Photo Stream must allow deletion ASAP!
