Obviously the system is a little behind the driver @Glory1.
Hope the change goes smoothly and look forward to your review later/tomorrow...

Ok folks, phone just arrived. So I'll be off the forum for a while.

Had to laugh, just received a text from DHL that the driver has 1 more stop to make and should be with me 5-15 minutes. This after the driver has been and gone over 5 minutes ago

Chuffed to bits @Glory1

Enjoy your new phone...

Your kidding, right @gmarkj 

I need to play with the phone over the weekend, and for that read Sunday, when I'm very hung over as a result of too much food and even more drink the night before 

It took me ages to insert the sim card. I thought my S8+ was fiddly but the S10+ nearly drove me to throwing the phone!.

Anyway finally done, sim swap done, so now it's just transferring data.

But love the phone with one proviso. They moved on/off switch up the side of the phone and it's damn awkward to turn the phone on and off. Other than that, so far so good.

Bye for now

Just got a text from Samsung members, Samsung buds £139, shall I or shouldn't I, mmmmmmm

[mieinhull1969]

From getting the phone I've seen no difference from the S9+ apart from the mm extra in screen size and those awful cameras on the home screen. Noticed that the camera resolution is laughable, it's like an iPhone. My score is 2/100, the 2 was for the box.

[mieinhull1969]

Phone overview, as I've been using PIE since the S9+ and I wasn't expecting any o rgasms, I had one earlier but lets move on. The phone is bigger, slighty and erm, erm the box is nice, I can store my loose change in it from the £900+ I paid. Actually it is the same as the S9+, not noticed anything different, apart from the price. After the wait for the delivery, 3 weeks, I was expecting something out of this world, now I'm sat here playing on a game with my S2.

My posts have gone to the people above, glory, not long to go.

#2 Phone overview, I've managed to root the phone, took time with the S9+ coding but it's done. Running faster, custom overlays, volume +++, custom rom and loads now. Just written a new kernel for the rom and it's zooming. Still love the S9+ better and hate PIE, if your gonna install Android Version 9, don't bother, stick with Oreo, for S9 users, because custom themes won't run so don't but my script does on the S9.
