Wish the S2 would come back in stock
What's the difference apart from NFC ?
Don't think it will… S3 came out in March
Been hanging out for a S3 deal …
It's a bloody fantastic phone for $200 so I don't blame you for wishing this
I would say this is a steal if not for the locked bootloader and lack of custom ROM availability
Looking at getting the Aquos S3. Anyone bought 1 and willing to share feedback and deals please?
bought one last month and sent back to them, cost a lot to send something with battery. can not install google play. What do you think? All chinese apps and can not be deleted.
Any deals on the Sharp Aquos Crystal?

Is this gonna work with all australia 3/4G?
As per before, I don't think this has access to Google play services…
can not install google play at all. it means you cannot do anything

This is what I found, looks like should work fine in Oz?this phone is not working for australian market. it is chinese version. you can not install google play store.do not trust the instruction from the site, it is not working at all. bought one before and it has all chinese apps. if you are looking for a item can ONLY make phone call and SMS, it is great choice. Not others. Cost a lot post it back to China.

Some work to make it work.
Still deciding if I should get it to replace my Nexus 4 work phone :pyou should not take the risk. I have tried. not working.
Flashing a new firmware is something one should be prepared to do if buying cheap phones from overseas markets. Pretty straightforward process to flash a ROM, it's not basic user's cup of tea but.Oh forget above, comment. Didn't see that it can't be rooted yet.
But it can be rooted…
after I bought the phone, I told the customer service that the phone is not supporting google play. They replied to me that I should go to find local shop to fix the problem.Such a unresponsible seller. I am not paying someone to fix a new phone. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. SUCH A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH THEM.
you can not even root the phone.I have tried all the solutions, nothing is really working for you. rubbish only.
Hi kangaroobaby888
Did you try the kind of methods mentioned here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/reply/392780/6324661
I was interested in this phone but your comments have me worried…
Cheers
I have tried so many different ways to root and install google play. it does not work for me. So i returned it back.big postage.
What are camera specs, what version Android is it,
