I wrote a review of the GSII that I'd like people to take a look at.
Hope this isn't against forum guidelines but it's on my Wordpress blog.
I don't focus much on the specs, but more on the experience of using the phone.
Sorry in advance for any typos!

I apologize if there's some other place for this that I haven't found but I felt compelled to let the devs here know how much I appreciate your work.
1 day after finding the site I've got new fonts, a better camera app and soon to be a faster phone.
Thanks for all the poking around you've done and apps and tools you've created. I love this platform.
You are welcome. Enjoy

As a matter of fact I agree with the OP. Just wanted to say thanks!

^^ who the F is that and why is he/she trying to take credit for ANYTHING?
I agree with the OP too... unfortunately most of those who actually contribute don't read the General section.
I'm just waiting to see how fast even a simple "thank you" thread turns into a flamefest, heh.
I'll might as well start
"OMG WHY are you cluttering our General forum!!!1111one. If you only SEARCHED you would have found a dozen of threads just like this one. This isn't how XDA used to be..."
All kidding aside, even though there's plenty of unnecessary drama and flame wars on the Vibrant forums, all of that is such a small percentage compared to the sheer amount of awesome work we have seen in such a short time from so many people, developers and non-developers alike. With 2.2 looming and beefy hardware that should stay relevant for quite some time, I'm looking forward to even more quality work coming out of the XDA community for our beloved device.
Found one of the first reviews that popped up! Thought id share and create this since its inevitable, with the device out and all, that its only a matter of time before the big guys start putting up the reviews!
If you find a website with a credible review of the phone, please post it here.

Give it 4 stars
I suggest to start a thread for SGS3 previews, first looks and reviews when they officially get released to help people like me decide on the phone. Besides the gsmarena previews and first looks mentioned in other threads I found this preview from mobile-review.com very useful and gives more details not covered in other sources. Enjoy...

That's a preview. Wonder how big will be the review
With so many features to talk about, it's obvious that a small review is really useless.
I realize that if everyone would open a thread like this it would overflow the forum but this has to be done
The DesireHD forum was my first XDA experience! Never in my life i was part of an internet community that I was so fond of. So many nice and helpful people, everyone helping each other and everyone working with passion and not motivated by greed. This is how the world should be
I'm just glad that i am/was part of the DHD XDA experience. You guys made my device 100x better than the way HTC released it. I didnt contribute all that much apart from some themes and hopefully helpful posts, so you guys gave me more than i had to offer in return and all that for free! That is something very rare in our materialistic world.
So before i drift off into philosophical and sociological thoughts about our society i just wanna say:
THANK YOU XDA DESIRE HD FORUM!!!
just bought myself some sexy blue SGS III and i really hope to see some of you guys there in the future
Unfortunately I have to close this. As your right the forum would overflow with these threads.
Thank you & I hope you enjoy your new handset.
BTW, you'll have to change your sig now
Hi Guys,
Just a heads up that in November I'll be supporting the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on my site.
I'm making a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Community Links page for all Samsung Galaxy Note 2 owners. Obviously most of the links or resources will link back to XDA Developers, but the intention is to have the most relevant Galaxy Note 2 owner or new owner info in one quick-to-access place, especially for noobs who don't yet know about XDA.
The HTC Desire HD ROM lists will continue to be updated, as quite a few people still access the site for those lists. I'm getting the Galaxy Note 2 in November, so I'm waiting until then to test and see everything work on the device for myself (as I've done with the Desire HD).
Not everyone knows about XDA, so it's nice to introduce people to here.
If you'd like to send me your ideas of essential info or shortcuts, feel free to do so, via PM here at XDA or via the site.
Cheers.
Isnt that why we have stickies? Why go to your site to only hqve to come here anyway?

Yeah, that's right. For us regulars the stickies are easy to spot. For new people who don't know about XDA, they might appreciate a page with a few quick shortcuts to information. I think that's why the same people keep visiting the site to check the Desire HD rom list. It's a little quicker than searching through the development section.
I'm making it anyway. I love this stuff! :good:

This is all just a hobby for me, and so I went ahead and made a quick page here of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Community Links.
As I mentioned before, it is primarily aimed at people who don't know about XDA yet (and therefore can't see the stickies - because they don't know XDA exists). Most of it links to XDA. I'll be adding other stuff and hopefully a few kind folk will recommend some other useful things which should be added, when I can get around to it.
I got my Galaxy Note 2 on release day here in Japan, on the 16th of November. I totally love it! :good:
If you think the page is worthy, please share it around on Facebook, Google+, Etc.
Just giving this thread a gentle nudge in case the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Community Links page can interest other members too.
Thanks to those of you who have given positive feedback here and there.:good:
Thanks for the inclusion of the Lowyat.net forum.

A quick explanation about the "versions" you see on the main page. Due to some database performance constraints, the mods ask that each thread contain only about 2500 posts, after which the "topic starters (TS)" or OP in XDA parlance need to start a new version.
I've also placed grantbarker.com in post 5 as additional resources.
