Special thanks to Ronak and Jheelna for getting it to me from the US. \ud83d\ude42 I got the phone on the 18th and have used it for about 10 days without any net connectivity for the most part and I can honestly say that I really like it so far.<\/p>\n<p>First impressions\/experiences so far:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The settings page is a bit sparse and seems to be a bit dumbed down. I see a lot more options on my Galaxy Tablet that is running Android 2.3<\/li>\n<li>The default set of applications that come with the phone should be expanded, I really missed having a memo pad app<\/li>\n<li>My screen now has a small scratch on it because I dumped my hotel key in the same pocket as the phone. Although to be fair, the key was pretty big and heavy. <\/li>\n<li>The system is very fast and responsive. A genuine pleasure to use<\/li>\n<li>Some of the settings\/options should give you feedback when used, e.g. when asked to check for system updates, some sort of indication would be good. Right now I don&#8217;t know if it is stuck or just waiting for a reply from the server. <\/li>\n<li>USB Host access is not supported, so I can&#8217;t mount the phone as a USB drive on my computer. \ud83d\ude41 This really sucks but as a workaround I have installed SwiFTP on the phone which is a FTP server. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Will document more of my findings as I use the phone more and more. But as a starter, now that I am back home with a good internet connection I rooted the phone to give me more options and will be installing a whole lot of apps and experimenting.<\/p>\n<p>Well, this is all for now. Will post more later.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Suramya<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After drooling about it for almost 3 months I finally have my new phone: Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
