Hello all,
First time I've visited this site, and have been extremely impressed with a lot of posts on here. Very intelligent community members across the board.
I've previously used Apple iPhone / iPads, but I've been extremely impressed w/ the reviews about the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. I'm absolutely ready to take the plunge into the Android world, but the reviews/comments on Kies have stopped me in my tracks.
Here's my bottom line question: Do I absolutely HAVE to use Kies? It appears you can work around for media / audio storage, but when it comes to syncing contacts & calendars, making back-ups, upgrading firmware, etc, it appears that it's Kies or bust.
I'd appreciate any and all comments. Thanks for indulging me on my first post here.
Kind regards,
Philip
