I am coming from an iPhone 4S. While iOS feels better it is extremely limited and boring. I can change every aspect on my GSIII. After yesterday's court decision I am going to use my 4S even less now. Apple needs to be stopped.
My iPhone 4S 64GB have been collecting dust in the drawer since I got my galaxy s3. Haven't used it once. Thought I might give it to my 8 year old girl

I think the only place where the iPhone wins comes down to accessory support. For instance, my car stereo works very well with my 4S. However, when I plug in my GSIII into the USB port it doesn't recognize the songs on the SD card. My S2 also worked well with my car stereo. I think its because of USB mass storage.
Maybe this is me being nit picky but the iPhone also seems to respond to a touch better than any Android device. Just seems a little more fluid. The GSIII still beats it hands down though.

no they will not. it will be just a little more expensive due to the patents costs that Samsung will pay to mother of a sun rotten fruit.
i hope that everyone in the fruit computer company burn in a boiling pitt, even the cleaning lady.
edit: forgot. iphone is a phone for morons. do you know why? they even do not know how to activate the darn thing, and they also believe it will give them social status.
if you want social status buy a Beutiful Vertu phone.

If that happens will be great! Patents on the US is absourd and they have been using that against the world in many levels not only cell phones. The way things goes iStuff and MacFood will be the only crap allowed for US citizens xD
Maybe when US system start being evil not only to international intrests but also for US citizens intrests people will make a stand against it.

Maybe he doesn't use his phone as much as you do! and batteries wear out pretty fast too!
Does your dad know about xda? Oh.. right iPhone's dont have any development!
He might get more battery life (probably minimal use) but i HIGHLY doubt he gets "more" out of that thing than what your beautiful..sexy..ahem your nexus gives you.

The dev is true but having both an iPhone4 and Nexus S in the house (And galaxy tab 8.9, iPad 2, HTC Sensation and One X) I can be pretty certain that you can use the iPhone a LOT more than the Nexus between charges.
The Nexus got massive improvements with 4.x though, that must be said.
Hey, am I the only one who saw the "iPhone has been plugged in since the last full charge" message??
Doesn't this invalidate the comparation?
You can hate on apple all you want people but stop with the fanboy nonsense.
It is a fact that the iPhone/ios gets far better battery life then nexus s/ android period. No if ands or butts about it.
What's next ? Blackberrys don't really have better battery life ?

I'm turned off by the size, and TouchWiz. So much so that I didn't regret springing for the One S after seeing it. But not having a removable battery is really bugging me, so I'm considering it for the first time. Not to mention HTC pulled a fast one about unlocking the bootloader. Sure, they'll unlock it, but you still have S-on, and they won't change that. That's a huge advantage to the Samsungs. They don't lock anything. Might give the HOS to the wife if I can bring myself to get the GS3...but the size really bugs me. I need to see it in person to decide.

The size really won't get less. I honestly hope it does not get bigger than this, because after this it should just be classified as something along the lines of the Galaxy Note, which is huge for a phone.
Touchwiz, I don't get why people hate it so much, is it just that they hate the manufacturer modifying the look, or is it just touchwiz?
I have loved Touchwiz since the first day. Their music app is superior and has more eye candy than any other music player I've seen (not too many options like poweramp etc. though) I do agree they theme it too much, but after all it is all eyecandy and don't tell me that once your on XDA that you won't flash a custom rom on your phone.
Samsung phones are where all the developers flock. You can call me a Samsung fanboy
Just curious, how big is the Htc One S?
Mind taking a pic of the phone with your hand next to it or something like that? I thought GS3 and the one series were all the same size.
The One X is close to the GS3, the S is just a little longer/taller than the Vibrant, 1/4" maybe, and damn near almost identical in width. And just a c-hair thinner. I'll post some photos tomorrow (technically today, I guess ).
Btw, your cwm flashable that's on the dl worked perfectly, thanks . 48gb never felt so free.
Now ask yourself, did I really just read that? Yes you did.
Personally I think this phone is great looks amazing will most likely perform great. I'd go with the white one I think the color blue they picked gives it that prepaid phone look

Oh yeah, what I don't like about TouchWiz is the candy-like backgrounds on the icons, and it tries too hard to be iOS. There's some advantages, but for the most part I feel its mostly fluff wasting valuable resources. ICS Holo theme is gorgeous, no need to play with it, unless you improve upon it with tweaks like Team Kang did with AOKP.

I agree, for some it may be a bit "cartoon" type of look, but its just hurtful to say it looks anything like iOS
Showing them together with the GS's app drawer open would be more representative of what I'm taking about. Obviously iOS on the iPhone doesn't have a "desk top" home; that would be to handy and admitting Android is better. Wait, they admitted that when they put a status bar in that could be pulled down for notifications.
I don't like the dock layout in TouchWiz, or that it can't be modified (maybe changed this time?), and the app drawer looks like a clown puked up a bunch of candy, just like the iPhone. But like you said, stock ROM doesn't have much chance of staying on the thing anyway. So it boils down to whether I can fit it in my pocket, and don't look like an idiot holding a VCR to my face when making calls (sorry Note users, I'm looking at you). And the cherry on top would be if app devs started seriously optimizing for quad core CPUs before the GS4 drops in 6 months.

Apple signs agreement to buy Authentec who made fingerprint sensors for the Atrix.
Reading between the lines, iDevices will now get fingerprint readers and Android devices will not have Authentec as a supplier anymore.
Make the most of the one and only Android device with fingerprint reader for we may never see another one - there are not a whole lot of fingerprint sensor suppliers out there.
Hope I am proved wrong, but this is how it looks like now.
http://allthingsd.com/20120727/apple-acquires-fingerprint-security-company-authentec-for-356-million/
Seems like Motorola already gave up with fingerprint unlock way earlier. None of the other Atrixes have fingerprint scanners, which is the most defining feature of the original Atrix.

And the iOS conference will start something like this:
"So yeah. um, we felt that the iPhone needed some enhanced security, because you store there, um, your personal stuff, so, um, we started thinking and thinking, and analyzing our data, and then it hit us in the head! was just like newton's apple! We were needing some advanced, futuristic, original, awesome and usefull way to protect the device data, and thats how we reached the all new original idea of a fingerprint scanner! So, um, yeah, thats pretty much how it was."
I can totally see it. The nerd dude, with the white wall behind and an iPhone in his hand, swearing by the name of Steve Jobs that the feature is totally new and original.

Until the bubble bursts...
The iPod bubble has already burst, and no one knows for sure how long the iPhone/iPad bubble will last. But if innovation is any indication, they haven't really done anything spectacular since 2010 and seem to start to prepare themselves to be reborn as a law firm...
But then again, with over $100B in the bank, I guess they can survive for years without selling anything, unlike that other smartphone vendor that also had done nothing for years but rehash their old devices in new skin.
I wonder if Motorola had patented the fingerprint unlocking method. If they did, Google and Motorola can give Apple a bit of their own medicine.

So, here we all are. Looking for the next big slider phone to move to. The Photon comes along and while some specs are great, overall most people hate the fact that the SIM is locked and that the battery is not removable. Some of us, maybe all, would probably settle for it, because the idea is that another slider will not come for a long period of time. HOWEVER, I just unearthed this article and honestly, I would recommend giving it a month before we all jump ship and buy into the Photon, if that is your plan at least.
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/05/01/google-patent-application-hints-at-nexus-slider/
Although this is NOT a confirmation, it is still in the realm of possibility. It is worth waiting for, before we lock ourselves onto the Photon for 2 years.
Any thoughts/comments/info?
There is some truth to Google bringing out a Nexus slider soon. Google hired the G1 designer duo, they also came up with the design for the Xbox360.
NICE!!!!!! I just sprouted a tremendous woody!!!!
Highly doubtful. I wouldn't hold my breathe. The only logical choice right now for keyboard lovers is the photon. Especially since Motorola released something similar to HTCdev to unlock the boot loader.

My thinking on the Q, is will there be development, more to the point, will it get picked up by CM
A Nexus device will get dev support almost by default.
But the Epic taught me to be careful about my choice in phones, as lack of great development can drop a phone from awesome, to dam, wish I could get that mod.
Those who got the Epic on release day, waited for CM acceptance on the Epic, will understand why I'm a bit gun shy about one-off devices

This is a tease. I bet a Nexus Slider is at least 18 months away from being on the market.... Just saying.....

I hope not. I'd hope it wouldn't be A9 at the very least. Krait or A15 are the high end.
That's it. I'm waiting. The PhotonQ is appealing to me, but I will wait to see if this pans out before I jump.
Now, should we start a pool on how long it will take Kenny to close this thread?

Yeah it'll probably get folded into my devices thread.

Just by looking at the keyboard I can tell that this isnt a Nexus Slider. Or at least not one that intends on being a phone.
To Heck With That Darn Photon ( seriously ? I'd rather hang on to my EPIC ... :good: ) THIS >>> http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/06/21/iphone-5-features-what-expect-this-fall/ <<< is the REAL winner on that page ...
P.S. = I am NOT about to lay down any bets on that NFNM ( he turns from Good Spidy to Bad Spidy really fast sometimes ... :laugh: LOL = I Kid , I Kid !!! :laugh: )

Its all about they keyboard layout. It doesn't match up with something that would create ease of use. This looks like a prototype for a Phablet and or Tablet.
Not a smartphone, not a tablet, ...the future of pen and paper.
The modern day filofax?
It obliterates the competition.
To qualify, been a htc fanboi since spv. Loved how the wife's iphone keyboard never makes a spelling mistake, despaired how htc keyboard was useless. Blown away how everything just worked with the wife's ipad 3, unlike cheap android tablets. This leads me to this ultralight technological revelation, the Note 2. I've never used anything that you can write with a pen, that is so accurate. In business we still write so much on paper, this really feels like the future. Okay, I admit I'm blown away by it. And I never liked samsung mobli's before.
One criticism... this god awful cheap and nasty plastic chrome ring around the phone. Hellloo? 550 quid, give us some metal. The silver back of the iphone 5 is soo blinging tasty. But if metal adds weight, leave it off, the lightness of this device will make your jaw drop.
Happy rant over. Lol

Whenever some says, 'is that your phone?' I always say, "yes. It's more of a pocket tablet though".
My own rant: current media definitions of phone/tablet/phablet are STUPID.
Since when does something suddenly become 'something else' if it is .1 inches wider?
Does that happen with any other piece of technology?

I would describe it as the new Jesus Phone!
its a mini tablet, or a big smartphone. or phablet
OP, if you are impressed by this, try the Galaxy Note 10.1! It's incredible as well. Much better than any iPad I've ever touched.

Haha I like that
I would say "it's a phone for people with everything big "
In Hong Kong, alot of high mid-age women holding it and they treat this as a mini TV. Only thing they used on it is movies movies and movies.
Unbeleivable compared to any phone and I have a few .I bought the note 10.1 but still ended up picking phone up all the time portable and easy acsess and fune so I returned the note 10.1 the note phone is everything battery lasting good also tops...think I woulnd like the slimmer phone compared to note one. but yes samsung it was a good move easy to hold and for movies great love it

I will always consider anything smaller than 7 inches a phone. That said, a 6 inch GN might be too big. So it's a phone you can use IMO, no need to zoom in to everything. At least that's what I'm expecting it to be.
When someone says wow is that ur phone ... I say if u think my phone is big .. well u can guess the rest lol
Only kidding
One word to describe bloody beautiful
I get stares when making calls ... it is very much a talking point !
Its a galaxy S3 transformed into a super sayian

I just received my Note 2. I purchased it to replace my 10.1" tablet and I couldn't be more pleased with it. My ASUS TF700 & kbd dock go up on eBay today - I won't miss hauling it around.
I tend to think of the Note 2 as a mini tablet more than a phone but I'm hoping that perception changes a bit as I carry it the next month or two. If I can see using it as my phone and tablet in one device I'll be purchasing the T-Mobile branded version with my upgrade when the Note 2 is released through T-Mobile. My .16 year old son really wants one of these things as a replacement for his WiFi Ipad 2 (we're not providing him with data for his phone - he'll need a job for that) so I'll trade him my international Note 2 for his Ipad if I doget the T-Mobile version.
Maybe it's a phablet. Time will tell.
GN2 is A Phone or Tablet with Magical stick (Jadu Ki Chadi).....:thumbup:
The phone wich can wash clothes...gives cool air from speakers..sends food and other things via attachment or bluetooth....and entertain you like GF.....
In short it can replace WiFe as well...LoL....:banghead::banghead:
