Wow looks amazing..
I think im gonna use touchwiz this time too instead of launcher pro... looks well nice
Yeah it does look amazing + super fast response. I want it now
Sorry but I can't get used to that british accent lol. Some of the phrases he uses made me go, "What?"
And if he had used a better cam to record his review it would have been even more shocking how smooth and quick this beast is

Agreed. Still a decent little video. Everything I've seen come out in the past few days makes me glad I pre-ordered.

What makes you think it is just one week left? 8 days to May 1st, the UK release day, then around a week in transit. So two weeks, right?

My point was it would be more than one week, and you supported it
Re Fedex - what if the customs stop your package out of all, decide to open it, and then send you a bill for the customs fee? Such packages often spend extra 1-2 weeks at customs, and end up costing more to the recipients.
I have no info on the number of packages checked by the US customs though. I never ordered anything expensive from abroad. I bet the chances of customs intervention are very very low.
UGHHHH did you see that video?!?!?! WOOOO i couldnt help but get a huge grin a few times in that video.. its so freaking [email protected]#$ that we rule game looks good, is it available in the market now?

Looks very fast in that video, but in this video when its compared to the lg optimus 3d its dog slow, takes around 8 seconds to load the benchmark while the lg takes 1 second, could this be the dual channel memory advantage?

it could also be the pre-production model disadvantage. we will never know exactly what those pre prod models are doing and why they are so slow (relative to other dual cores PROD models). For sure Samsung has premature drivers on them, extra software that is logging everything for troubleshooting and performance follow up, etc. DO not even judge SGS2 by the pre prod models .

Lmao dual channel memory.. given that this LG has 512MB of RAM and that this "dual" thing means that it is cuted in two, there is not much left for it to shine vs the 1GB DDR2 RAM of the GSII...
it s just that it was a very early prototype of GSII, that's all story
Aren't they all prototypes? Even with paltry 512mb of ram that optimus 3d seems to load that game pretty quickly, almost too quickly you gotta admit that.
wow thank you for handtec link! I might actually buy it from there! thanks
I just got the tmobile version of this phone today through work to try out for a couple of months. If there is anything I can check out on it to get you guys more info let me know.
Pictures?make a video?
please please post benchmark, specs, list of apps, and photos
thanks in advance
EDIT: also, run a voodoo report!

Benchmarks, battery life, and usability. My only question is how does the S4 perform vs Exynos in the GS3 and whether there is any improvement over battery life/usability w/ the chipset and extra ram. I would trade raw power for better battery and potentially better app performance.
Do you work for Tmobile or something? How is it that you got to test one out? And is this the U.S. version? I would be interested to know if the U.S. versions really do have 2gb of ram. And also if it also has the Wolfson audio DAC like the international version.

Benchmarks of all kinds.
Also, how much RAM is actually available after the Adreno takes up some of it's ram. Can you give a screenshot?
Amazing... can you run benchmarks... how fluid is it?

Sweeet, lucky! Questions:
- what color is yours?
- is the only T-Mob branding on the back cover?
- how's the battery?
- can you test out some graphic intense games, how do they run?
- does the pop-out video function run smoothly while multi-tasking?
- how many apps can you open up before things noticeably get laggy?
So excited for the US launch!
If the T-Mobile Galaxy S III is carrier unlocked can you test to see if this works with the other major GSM provider like AT&T for 3G/HSPA+?
Earlier it was reported that from the Engadget & The Verge that FCC report had the T-Mo version capable of running both T-Mobile and 1900 band of AT&T.
Thanks in advance!
Can you help me get one? lulz.
Do you have the firmware in TAR format?
I need it badly. I have the same unit as yours.
If you can even give me the stock kernel, it would help to start.
May be my problem is the kernel....

Hi there!
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Mini, and i'm about to sell it for about R$200 and buying a Motorola Defy (or Defy+) for about ~R$550. What do you think? Is it worth it, or should i get another phone. Phones here in Brazil are WAY to expensive, so this phone is what I can get for now.
I'm thinking it is great because of screen size and processor. It is also an armv7 phone, which supports full Jelly Bean/ICS experience, different from my SGM which is armv6 with an 600mHz processor.
Btw, how JB and ICS behave in this phone?
Thanks for your opinion guys, and sorry if it is the wrong section

I have had my Defy (from T-Mo usa) since it first came out and have had very good luck with it. Was thinking of switching to a Galaxy 3 but many people are having issues with the wifi-calling feature, which I need. However, I don't spend a lot of time playing games etc. I guess when I need it to do something it can't, I'll switch. BTW I also like that it is SMALL...

Its a pretty old phone. Though we have unofficial ICS & JB(gratitude to our devs) but the phone is somewhat outdated. I'd suggest you to go for Xperia U or Xperia Go(comes with the same IP67 stads as Defy), though not sure if those are available at the same price band in Brazil.The dual-core processor is certainly the +1 for Xperia along with official ICS (& JB by mid Q1 2013)

Hmmm, Xperia Go and Xperia U look quite interesting. Although it is ~100$ more expensive, if I wait for some months, maybe the price will go down. If it doesn't, I guess defy+ will be my choice. Thanks!
EDIT: Wow, it has frontal camera and face unlock... But screen is a little bit smaller... Defy+ is HVGA, right? And no SD card slot either :/ But i'll see, I have time to think

i actually just got a defy green lens almost 3 weeks ago for $120 USD from a friend 2nd hand in very pristine condition. i thought of playing with it for a while but after loading up CM7.2 and CM10 i was quite hooked.. i love small phones for portability and owned a HTC wildfire-s and Alcatel 0918N but eventually sold it due to lack of support from the community.. So if you can find one cheap like mine dont hesitate in getting one.. :cyclops:
Hey guys. Thanks so much for the help, but i've made my mind. I'm going to wait until December and get a Xperia U. Although it has locked bootloader and not that much of custom ROM's, it has official ICS, dual core cpu and stuff. And the price is about R$5,00 more.
Thanks a lot for everybody's help

Hi all, I just wanted to know if I buy the 32gb nexus from google play store it is the full uk version becuase the price is way higher on ebay-amazon etc for a uk version, is there a reason why google play is so much cheaper? Also i just came from a Onda v972 which suffered from bad firmware and lag/force closes, is the nexus nice and smooth and reasonably error free most of the time and fast? Thanks for the possible help guys

No. Google are selling faulty products hence why they are so cheap. And again, no, google are not choosing to update their own tablets. It's about as smooth as sand paper.

Google Play store prices are almost always the cheapest for Nexus devices. Amazon and the like are using the fact that the 32gb model is always out of stock to push up the prices.
It's a pretty stable product - I've kept away from modding mine (yet!) and have had only one time when I had to reboot it -got stuck trying to change a lockscreen widget. Worked on the second attempt.

Thanks a lot for the reply, i was just wondering why amazon and ebay still sell them so high when stocks are building up in google play. I have seen some great benchmark videos but had soooo much trouble with the so called "powerfull" onda that I wondered if any tab is quick enough.
Can't compare it to other tabs but it makes my Galaxy Nexus look really slow and that's overclocked with custom rom and kernel.

Just received mine today. Delivery was super quick (2 days). I don't know why anyone would buy one from elsewhere except if they get some kind of discount. Great piece of kit. Rooted it and installed Paranoid Android on it already. Works great! Enjoy your new purchase!

same here, first launch event, matter of fact this is the first time i have won any contest, and supposedly they have goody bags for us invites,,sounds like a lovely few hours of asus showering us
I'll see you pals there! I've been invited by ASUS for quiet some time now! Hopefully I'll be helping or attempting to help to develop for the device if I have time! I haven't used Android in a while but I honestly can't wait for the release of this device.
I'll be there.
I'll also be there, look forward to replacing my OPO!
you guys have any thoughts on which version they will be giving us, my thoughts its gonna be the 2.3 processor with 4gb of ram and 64 gb on storage, my reasoning is they want to give us a crankin model so we can praise it with lots of love and joy on these forums and others,,steve

We will see when we get there I'm pretty sure you are right though, but let's see when we get over there! Oh yeah, and as I hear the bootloader are locked as of now so whenever you see an ASUS employee ask them when will we be receiving an unlock so we can start development! Heh.
I will be there as well. I pre-ordered 2 Alcatel Idol 3's also, so it will be nice to compare the two.

So that was a fun time. Met a few AndroidCentral people, a few from XDA, and a whole lot of people who won contests to go. I honestly thought it would have ran longer, and was glad it didn't. Pretty cool grab bag as well, and I was lucky enough to snag the red version instead of the grey.
Oh nice on getting a red version! I immediately switched the stock cover out for the view cover anyway, though.
I am liking the view cover...more than I thought I would. the rock garden was a nice touch...

It's cool that they had a bit of flexibility.
Jaysus145 and I rolled up from Harrisburg not knowing what to expect. We were really blown away by the hospitality and had a great time. The Zen Garden is in my girlfriend's cubicle already. Nice touch by them including a T-Mo SIM as it gives people with coverage concerns a chance to give it a try. My coverage here has been pretty solid but on the ride home, it was very up and down. Coming from VZW, that might be an issue, but it does give me an option for when my contract is up.
Good to (sort of) meet some people at the event. Good times.
