I9300 is 132.3 grams and the T999 is 134.8 grams. Why is there a difference in the weight ? Is it because of the proccessors? Or the ram? Or something else?
Probably the radio and antenna for HSPA+ 42 Mbps
Must be that extra gb of ram.
I think its from the wallpapers

I tend to agree. Dual-carrier HSPA+ almost certainly requires an extra antenna, but, beyond that, all of the internals are different between the two so that it's almost surprising they end up so close!

Dude no, 2 gigs of ram should make the phone twice as heavy. We all know that the ram makes up 99% of the phone's weight

Remember that no captivate buttons = more screen space in the same size phone
Therefor... 4 in may be about the size of, say, an iPhone 4. I'm up for bumping the size up to somewhere between the Vibrant and the Evo and getting 4.5"-4.65" of screen (especially since I hear it'll be a Samsung phone!).

Just because the screen is bigger doesn't mean the device will be much bigger. Ics will have no softkey buttons, so the form factor will stay the same, generally speaking

For those of you interested in the Galaxy III, here's a leaked video which shows it. I didn't see a thread about it in this section, unless I'm blind(Or if it was deleted).

No it's not It's either the Galaxy M / Galaxsy s2 plus Samsung has bashed it already
the specs are what i expected... the only question is ... pentile or no pentile? keyboard or no keyboard (on Sprint)?
Yeah i say it's the sg2+

Its the s3... I doubt they make a sgs2+ that's stupid. This isn't bad spec wise anyways... this sounds more realistic. 2.0ghz quadcore exynos and 2gb of ram is a little to much hype. 1.4ghz quadcore and 1gb ram sounds just about right.

From my experience, Samsungs may "feel" cheap, but they are more rugged than any HTC friends and family have had. Sure those thin metal accents look and feel nice in your hand, but I know too many people with their HTC's having chunks of their phones missing, scratches, and dings. I've dropped my phone a few times and it still looks like new with no sort of extra protection.
As I tweeted about this last night, whoever at Samsung designed the Touchwiz UI for ICS needs to be shot. Then fired. In that order. That is the WORST looking UI on an ICS device :\

Fighting LG
I guess this is deeper than just responding to the LG phone, it also means that SIII is probably more highly adaptable to combinations of hardware in design than expected.
Although Samsung said the Super AMOLED Plus has a problem or short-lived blue dots, but I think they are reserving it for something even bigger.
Considering the there are also reports saying that Google wants Jelly Beans to be released in Nexus first, I guess Samsung will do something better very soon. What's more, who supplies Apple with the New iPad screen? Samsung!
Maybe "SIII Advanced" with better Super HD AMOLED Plus? Flexible AMOLED? Even thinner body? SIII isn't as slim as we thought.
C'mon man, let's not start another hype-nuke with the Nexus and the amoleds plus 2x epic and flexible amoleds and 1mm phones.

So only <300MB ram available for apps? This is just as bad as the One X with Sense.
And people say one gb is enough... They must not be using their phones if they say that they can't even use half of the ram.

My wife had an upgrade and I didn't so she got it but I have been playing with it a ton. I echo what else has been said. It doesn't have a physical keyboard. The less moving parts the better. The screen is beautiful. It is damn fast. I cant get the SOB to lag. Honestly I thought my Epic was doing really well until it went up against that beast and its 2 gigs of ram. I am still happy with the Epic but do wish and always have that we had the regular Galaxy S. Physical keyboards are just outdated with all the amazing virtual ones in the Play store. The biggest thing thought is its speed.
