Get $10 free when you install google wallet. no rooting required. install from the market with these instructions:

Yup, got that back in December.
Only works with Citi MCs, so worthless for me once you spend the $10.

Dan,

      I have a question. I know you travel internationally a lot, yet the nexus is not a global phone. What do you do when you leave the country. especially considering the fact that verizons international charges are obscene?

I have a world phone with a sim from OneSimCard.
I barely use it and love my international trips even more b/c I'm disconnected.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

I am not impressed. No full screen, no quick-controls (which are much better than side-swipe tabs IMO), and very jerky and buggy. Definitely has potential though.

I used the original $10 and then tried what you said. I tried it 3 times and have yet to get a new $10. I've tried by using a new google account, clearing my caches in both the browser and market - nothing. It shows a balance of $0 every time.

You have been able to get a new $10? If yes, what am I doing wrong? Or were you merely speculating?

Can somebody recommend a  charger for the Galaxy that charges quickly? I currently use the Samsung charger which charges very very slowly.....

The samsung spare battery+battery charging station doesn't seem so slow to me.

I don't ever charge the phone itself, I just swap the battery out for a charged one.

Its a whopping $49.99 for the Galaxy s2! What do you think of this website they have it for $38

No idea, but why are you posting in this thread instead of the s2 thread?
