What has this got to do with the Galaxy S3.
You are trying to hi-jack another thread when you have been advised to take back your faulty phone in a previous thread.
As stated, others do not have this problem.

Same here...
Also, SGS II was released on May(in Europe), i dont think they would released SGS III only 5 months later unless its not really the SGS III but a SGS I9102 or SGS I9103 or something like that which would be the same SGS II but with some selected less features to decrease its price, as happened with the SGS and their SGS I9001, I9003 and SCL...
Not to mention that i thought the released of the SGS 3 was announced to 2012(one reason, may be to analyzed Iphone's 5 new features and improve them on the SGS3)...even though they obviously may have changed their mind...
i9103 was already launched, it's the SGS2 with the NVIDIA Tegra processor instead of the Samsung's Exynos of the i9100. The S3 should be i9200.

LOL! I know what you mean! I never really liked the form factor of any of the nexus series phones. But thats just me. I do however really LOOOOVE the design of the Galaxy S series ( captivate, infuse, sgs2 and Note) I already played with the Samsung media player at Best Buy which is exactly the same form factor as the Note with the exception of the pen, and immediately thought to myself, this can definitely work for me.
Im hoping the note is 199 on upgrade, and not 250 though!
Perfect, just in time for my upgrade.
Eh, I'll wait for something else or the SGSIII.

You might want to update the title or have the Mods delete this thread so people don't have to read the whole page to see that there is no new S-Pen.
You mean like I just did lol?
Or realize Note 4 came with new SPen with pressure sensitive. I've used it in draw apps & Snote. Pressure affects how the pen fans what you write. Makes cool calligraphy. Old Note isn't as fun now. They cover the new pen on product detail of phone
I saw someone mention somewhere that the tips included are different? Like different pressure.. Anyone have any idea whether this is true or not? I always thought they were just different colors..

I tried. I simply based it on the only article I saw at the time.
I had to actually break out the browser to do it since I didn't see a way to do it with the app.
Having looked at the potential, they could do some really cool things with this spen.
I wish it had a mic and small speaker on it, nothing crazy or fancy. I thought at one time there was a Bluetooth one you could answer calls on but I can't remember exactly

Try the other color.. they have a diferent feel to them, and artists might want to use the other ones. it was confirmed in a note 3 thread that the two tip types are slightly different, and are made of different materials.

S6 Edge Iron Man Edition

Have you all seen this?
https://youtu.be/wB6MId15cpo
Man... I already bought my edge and they come out with this.
Well as youll know it wont be available stateside or Europe or here in bonnie Scotland. Its a nice edition but im more than happy with my Black Sapphire.
Although if i had the choice hmmm lol
The color combi is nice. However, the Ironman design at the back could be a turn off for some people who aren't fans.
I'm not really sure how coming out with new colors is gonna boost sales. Initially they already had black, white and gold. If someone would want an S6, he would have bought it by now (or maybe wait for blue/green)
