Got my hands on the S2 today and did a little comparison. I have to say there is little different size and weight wise but the S2 totally sold me and it's feel and the hardware are great. Not sure how Sammy can make the SGS any better. And as for 2.3.3, well I can't wait to get it now on my SGS.

Quote from the sales assistant. "Me and my boss both have iPhones but the camera on this has just blown us away so we are thinking of getting this instead". I too must admit the camera is fantastic. Much better than the already very good SGS one.

SGS 3 is reported for release THIS year, sep/oct possible release and the true reason apple try to sue sammy.
Sammy have plans to release a flagship phone every 6 months instead of every year; and apple are crapping theirself, also sammy aint allowing apple full catalogue of their technology for them if rumours are to be believed.
Samsung are developing an edge-to-edge screen that they wont share with apple for iphone 5, abd rumours are apple are looking.at sharp to get an edge to edge screen
But with sammy reportedly releasing a flagship phone every 6 months, the iphone 5 will probably be out-dated before its release, with the galaxy s 3 already surpassing it at the end of this year.
All rumours, but it sounds more like the real reason apple are trying to sue sammy.
With ios falling in market share compared to android, and sammy releasing phones quickly, who'd want an outdated iphone?
Rumours are the galaxy s 3, will have a 1.8-2.0ghz dual core cpu with processing capabilities that closely match a PC.
Role on sammy..... End of iphone is near!

Hmmm that's great news
I have to say that is very interesting information, logically it makes alot of sense since Apple isn't really a proper hardware manufacturer in the true sense where it actually manufactures the core components that make up a smart phone.

[News]10 million Galaxy S phones sold worldwide
http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/03/samsung-reaches-goal-10-million-galaxy-s-phones-sold-worldwide/
Samsung reaches goal: 10 million Galaxy S phones sold worldwide
Can't say we're surprised -- after all, last time we checked in the tally was hovering around 9.3 million -- but now Samsung has officially met its goal of 10 million Galaxy S phones sold around the globe. That's less than seven months since the device first hit the market, which by Sammy's fuzzy math averages to about one unit for every two seconds it's been on sale. According to Samsung Tomorrow, North America contributed the most with 4 million in sales, followed by Europe at 2.5 million. Let there be cake, and once that's over, let there be progress on those Froyo updates.

Haha, there is no replacement counting, just pure new Galaxy S handsets which were in the count.
Good for them, I will never buy another after my experience with the Bell Vibrant. Pretty sure I am not alone either.. And since the US users are getting pissed still waiting for 2.2 on all their Galaxy S phones I doubt many of them will either. Enjoy it while it lasts Samsuck.

While I hate to be devils advocate, I bet a fair few of these were DOA's (at least 10-15%) and they would have accounted for these in sales numbers for sure.
So technically speaking, approx 8.5million would be in the hands of users..
Out of interest, I wonder if the DOA rate was higher-lower than the iphone 4's rates??

I saw a report a few weeks back that stated something along the lines of (don't quote me on this):
- iPhone had amongst the lowest direct failure rate (e.g. internal memory decides to fail).
- iPhone had amongst the highest indirect failure rate (e.g. you drop the phone and it shatters). Other phones held up much better in these scenarios.

Me , no I never liked iOS. Making the switch to android is the best thing ever.

Only if I can put Android on it.
nope. If it were something crazy revolutionary, maybe, but it's exactly the same as the iPhone 4. Granted, I would love to have a retina display on my Shift (let alone my iPad lol)
Everyone I know that uses android says they hate iPhone, but every time I think they just are biased. I moved from iPhone because I loved customizability, but you can't deny iPhone has it strengths. And when you hold that device, you just can't not love how it feels, and how italways is fast and works. Not to mention when HTC rocked the 5 MP camera, apple had a 3.2 that would blow it out of the water. Just because we love android guys, you can't deny apple can make a device.

1 word: Disappointed
i thought about it then realized i'm not retarded and love the open source of android and like what it has to offer. plus Miui looks and runs better than IOS so i'm good

Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
Back to the topic at hand even though I don't like the iPhone I can say, however, from a consumer's standpoint the iPhone 4S is a major disappointment. Everyone was hoping for something new and innovative that would have put Android on edge under the banner iPhone 5 and instead what we got was basically a marginal upgrade to the iPhone 4. There's no WiMAX or LTE 4G setup because they moved to the "World Phone" design probably to reduce manufacturing costs and instead gave their 3G radio a minor update that ups its speed from 7mbps to 14mbps which is also disappointing since its competition has been pushing 21+mbps HSPA+ 3G all this year. Other then that it got a new iOS upgrade which comes as no surprise and a dual core version of the iPhone 4's CPU. Beyond that there's no change which makes it seem like under Apple's new leadership this past year (remember Jobs left someone else in charge while he focused on his health this past year) has shifted most of the R&D's funding to the Legal department to promote their current anti-competitive legal campaign.
It's not much better than the iPhone 4, it only has a different proccesor, better camera, and siri. Apple, in my opinion, has failed. But there will always be a part of Steve Jobs in Apple. For Apple/ phone/ everyone who's heard of Apple and Steve Jobs, he will be dearly missed.

Yes, but Samsung's Galaxy S series of phones have always had the latest and greatest features available at the time of their release. This shouldn't be any different.
Those features are going to become standard on high-end phones by mid-2012
Edit: Only thing I disagree with is the 2GHz. That's just not practical.
Transformer prime runs at 1.3-1.4?GHz on Tegra3 and gets ~8 hours of battery life. That's with a tablet-sized battery. GS3 probably will ship with 1.2GHz or something, and it'll be up to XDA devs to push it to its' potential.
I have a hard time getting excited about new Samsung phones, because it seems like they always take forever to get released in the US.
I'm guessing an unannounced SGS3 probably won't be available on US carriers for until Christmas time. By then it's no longer exciting.
the galaxy 3 will be next year ?

Won't be available subsidized by a US carrier until November.

That has like nothing on the sides to protect the screen. I'm not hating... I'm actually looking forward to the next in the GS line but I really hope that's just an early prototype.
should I use my upgrade for a GS2 or wait for the GS3?
waiting for the S3 is the better choice i think .Other information say that the Samsung Galaxy S3 is with Quadcore-CPU, ICS, HD-Display and 12-MP-Camera
in February should Samsung release it or give us new information
It Rumors thet the S3 should be showing on the MWC 2012
The Quadcore-Prozessor of Galaxy S3 should be clocking at 1,5 or 1,6 GHz . The Special is the improvment in 3D. The Display should be an Super-AMOLED-HD-Display with 1.280 x 1.024and 326 ppi .
I hope its all true

It is "rumored" it will not release until later in the year..Q4 at the soonest... just learned that last night actually while checking out the Galaxy Note
Specs are being kept top secret and these guys at Samsung are very tight lipped about it.
http://www.theverge.com/2012/1/25/2733022/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-mwc-rumor
We're hearing from people familiar with the matter that Samsung — which had originally planned to announce its 2012 flagship Galaxy S III phone at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona late next month — has now decided to delay the news. It's unclear when or where the new announcement will be, but we're told that it'll still be out there "before summer." Though MWC seems like a logical choice for the GSIII's unveiling (the GSII was announced there last year), the speculation is that Samsung was uncomfortable with another long lag between the global launch and US availability. The US is a key market for Samsung's mobile business, of course — particularly when the company is successful in getting most or all national carriers to pick it up.
While we don't know what exactly Samsung will be announcing at MWC in the GSIII's place, we understand they'll have "interesting stuff" — perhaps a Galaxy Tab refresh, especially since the 10.1 is getting long in the tooth and we're due for a round of quad-core updates in 2012. A new Windows Phone portfolio is another possibility; there have been rumors that Microsoft will make an announcement at the show, and Samsung is about as strong a Windows Phone partner as Microsoft has outside of Nokia. We'll be following this story closely as it develops.
I posted this here only because a lot of people are/were expecting the SIII to be the runner up to the Note II but if Mods don'e believe it relevant, please remove.

I'm pretty disgruntled with AT&T's tardy release of devices, too. I hope Samsung's going to do something about it. This 4 month delay crap has gotta go.
Important s US is as a consumer market, it is no longer the most important nor the one that generate the highest sales figures.
lol Samsung Gimmicks ...
If they launched SGS III at MWC no one would buy the Galaxy Note as everyone will tend more towards the Quad Core ( I know tech sucks sometimes ) phones. Whether or not Samsung you are doing right, atleast I can have some more quality time with my note

Yes, China is becoming more important then the US I guess. There are models coming out in China that you do not even know about in the US.
Like the Samsung SCH-W999.
But I do not understand why a later announcement would decrease the delay in US availability. I do not see the logical link.

Do not forget the stuff that is already announced.
For example the Galaxy SII LTE HD that is 1280x720 and just a bit smaller then the Note.
It makes sense that the SIII does not get announced before the Note LTE , the SII LTE and the SII LTE HD get globally distributed.
But after that, bang... S III, 5 times faster then everything before.
You are making me depressed. Just stop it I want to have the most powerful phone on the market a little longer. Samsung is such a party pooper! I think i'll have to sabotage.. some stuff..

It is when a 4,5" version came 3 months after that, and a HD version after another 6 months. That's 3 since the last refresh.. not short enough?

Exactly... Quadcore even with ICS wouldn't be reason enough for me to switch. Might make me think a bit before buying, but I'm pretty sure I'd still go with the Note...
i just want a note 2 for my next phone, something with a bit more ram so that apps arent shut down and tw doesnt get shut down as often as it does on my note which makes me wait till the homescreens get populated.
guess same reason for OTG being flaky with official and other OTG adapters. but a restart of the phone sorts it out and OTG works fine again.
hope the bugginess decreases with icrecream sandwich as sometimes the bugginess and lag on occassions makes me want to take a refund after returning the phone.
USB host capability is flaky compared to my 5y old archos 605 media player which ALWAYS recognises flash drives and able to copy or paste files easily. the note OTG facility for connecting flash drives and copy pasting files is a distinct and lousy second place compared to my 5y old archos 605 which is faultless for the flash drives connecting functions and connecting cameras etc. plus hub can record tv etc or anything that passes through the hub, even has an EPG so can do timed recordings. wish all those features come for the note 2 or even for this note with a media hub device. but hub should fit phone with all standard accessories like flip case probably will need a connection features like present on phillins fidelio range for android which connects to many android devices and samsung official accessories like hubs dont even fit the note when official flip case is put on. bloody jokers must be hired in their design dept.
There is a market for phones like the note and consumers like me who think bigger is better as the case for every note buyer, the SIII is different from note and when the note II comes out its gonna blow the SIII out of the water

Really funny how it's only Samsung and Samsung made devices that are on the hit list so far....
Though if they drag google into it then ALL android devices will be affected... Will be funny to see how this will pan out as before it was Apple (America - LA) vs Samsung (Korea) and Apple won, now it will be Apple vs Google (both America based) and that might be a fairer match...
Apples litigation only alienates consumers. I for one will never purchase another product from them no matter how good it is.
They should try competing with products instead of competing in the court room.
I mean after sometime you just lose respect - they are in news for these court cases lately. If they had put this much energy in improving their own product(s), they wouldn't have to fall back on "retina" every time a new (really ?) product was released..
Apple says everything. Whine, whine, whine...

Apple: if you can't innovate, litigate.
Yes Apple feel Samsung is catching up and also overtaking them in innovations in cell phones so they are taking the easy way out they already were embarresed by a UK court and their appeals are not in good shape in US also with bans lifted on Tab so I think they are going insane.
I never used to dislike Apple so much, but every time they pull out another lawsuit it just makes me want to convert everyone to Android.

I think Apple are feeling threatened. 30 million SG3's sold. Several million Note 1 and 2's sold.
Trouble is, it makes people curious about Samsung products. I know several people that used to be Apple fans that are now Android owners, more to the point SG3 owners.

Good advertising for Samsung and Apple just look like little *****es who go running to the courts everytime a bigger better toy is released....
I mean, they pretty much, in their last court case, said that Samsung is the same as them just cheaper... I too know a few people who shifted to Android because of the attention Apple put on Samsung products...

I've converted 4 apple users to android and hopefully they can convert some more.
Girlfriend was reluctant but a hand me down gs2 from me did the trick. She on the gs3 now and iPhone 4 is a distant memory.
Well, as a matter of fact Android and Sammy-phones ARE better than Apple-CrAppel-Crap, and I am DEFINITELY NOT a tech-religious.
I had Motorola, I had Compaq iPaq, I had NOKIA with Symbian, I had HTC with WinCE, I have now Android, and when Win8 prooves to be fitting to my personal needs more than Android I will move on.
I had one iPad, and I put it away after 2 weeks since it prooved to be absolutely worthless for my personal needs in every respect starting with the stupid keyboard.
CrApple is not tech, it is religion, and we KNOW what misery most religions brought over the world in the past and now, and Apple is on his holy Jihad against rationality .......................
Apple is a wining kid who instead of fighting hard believes in loosing and crying over it and does not want to try again and win instead it believes in crying and wining over and over again
Watch out apple farmers everywhere.... You might be next....
Honestly, the way Apple's going you're going to have to pay $1 everytime you say Apple.... Bugger, might have given them a new idea... :silly::laugh:

Samsung should just man up and stop selling components to Apple.
