2. THERE IS NO USB MASS STORAGE! For me it means no offline maps for navigation and can't backup some apps because I can't get backup files from phones folders.
wallpaper doesn't scroll

Yes, what do you mean? When I plug my S3 into my computer via USB, there is the additional drive in Computer for me to explore and copy files from.
I can copy (drag and drop) music and pictures (media files). but I can't copy folder with other files like maps and backup files. If someone know how to do it, share it with me.
Problem with reviews is that generally their by people who have only used the phone for the review. Not for day to day usage.
Its very easy to point out whats good about the thing.
What sucks on the other hand needs a more personal touch.
Are there any performance issues?
Running something pretty intensive, say, Minecraft Pocket Edition, how does it handle?
Any freezing or lag?
I dont know why you wouldn't be able to copy other sorts of files, there wouldn't be any intelligence about exactly what you are copying to the phone..
The phone itself is brilliant. The build quality is nowhere near as bad as I was expecting. It is still a very sturdy phone. Power wise....couldnt hope for much more. Battery is sublime (1 day 14 hours for me, fairly heavy use on last charge).
However, what is particularly annoying for me is waking the screen up. It is biblically slow sometimes! After pressing the button, the screen sometimes stays black for 1-3 seconds. I factory reset but it did not solve it. My mates S3 does the same, so I assume it is just slow for the time being (will probably be improved)
Also had an issue where I only played half a ringtone....factory reset resolved this
I don't like the keyboard much with predictive text. Coming from iOS the keyboard and predictive text was much better. That's about it for me. I love the phone and am really enjoying the customisation with android.
Once I learn how to sync my music I'll be even happier. If anyone can point me in the easiest direction to sync my music from iTunes on a mac I'll be very appreciative

So far the only very small thing that annoys me is scrolling up and down, i dont know if its just me but it feels different from what i was used to, i feels a bit "jerky" at times, it might just be me focusing on something quite trivial, but that is pretty much one of the only things i have found a bit annoying.
