I don't know too much about the technical stuff, but it seems to have some really nice features. I also like the design as well.

A clip here with the hands on.

I just wish 4g was here in the UK because I'd be getting this Iphone killer straight away

Ugly phone, shitty s voice, yesterdays camera in tomorrows phone and not even a super amoled plus this phone is crap in my opinion

I don't find the phone to be ugly. I do agree that the recording resolution for the camera could be better. But still an all around balanced phone, and to think, I was considering getting a 4S, there's no need wit the S3 right around the corner.

Never saw this thread here, but comparing to the Xperia Ion there's really not many things different other than a 12MP camera and a 1.5 dual core processor. Both will have ICS. Although the SIII has a bigger screen. There's really nothing to change my mind about getting the Ion.

Apple is awesome and everything else sucks

To quote Tycho from Penny Arcade "When choosing a username, try not to pick one that will automatically invalidate everything you say!"

[uherriss]

proud owner of a Galaxy S2 and to be honest the S3 does not impress me ... i mean the new features are nice but thats it just nice nothing great/awesome like when the Galaxy S2 was released ... this phone set the standard for all other phones ... this new one not so much ... specs wise it matches up with the HTC ONE X pretty well except the ONE X has a way better screen ... all in all i think Samsung could have done more ... i guess ill have to wait for the Galaxy 4 ...

I think the username is irrelevant and you should pay attention to the persons content rather then their name

Well when you post on a PS3 trophy forum board, yet have never synced your trophies or ever commented on any games your motives becomes a little sketchy. Then the only places you do post are here and the apple forum and when you post here you trash everything and when you post in the apple forum you gush over everything (despite how insignificant it is) coupled with the fact that your name is Applepope and you have a giant sig dedicated to Steve Jobs...it kind of invalidates everything you say.

In other words you are a forum troll and that is really quite sad.

P.S. the content you want us to pay attention to is you think the phone is crap...really insightful

I did bring up legitimate reasons as to why i came to the conclusion it was crap i.e dreadful design and yesterdays cameras so if you can't comprehend these reasons then maybe you should stop posting here and leave

[Raebus]

I really don't see whats so dreadful about the design, like at all and I'm not interested in the camera (not a deal breaker for me). It was nice and quiet in this section until you made your grand return, maybe you shouldn't ruin it by telling people they should just stop posting and leave.

[Tyrion619]

I did bring up legitimate reasons as to why i came to the conclusion it was crap i.e no super amoled, dreadful design and yesterdays cameras so if you can't comprehend these reasons then maybe you should stop posting here and leave

If anybody should leave, it's you.

Every time you open your cock holster and talk shit about something other than Apple products, you're never able to back any of it up with verifiable FACTS. Just your sad and irrelevant opinion that you seem to think are facts.

[ApplePope]

If anybody should leave, it's you.

Back at you.

No, you didn't.
dreadful design - Opinion
yesterdays cameras - Proof? Comparisons?
shitty s voice - How so? Have you used it?

Is trolling that fun? How the hell are you not banned yet?

[Raebus]

it'll help if you don't feed the troll and just ignore it. : P

It is commonly considered that we will see the New Samsung galaxy S3 formally released on May 3rd 2012. It seems as though several weeks of gossip and rumours about the requirements of this style will come to an end when New Samsung reveal this interesting new system.
