Title: Samsung Galaxy S3 launches today - 19.00hrs
Post by: Hurdy on May 03, 2012, 05:58:29 pm
Been waiting for this for a while. All the rumours say it is a phenomenal piece of kit. Just hope it lives up to the hype. The Galaxy S2 was a leap forward in technology last year and this should be too.

Not quite the same interest/hype as an apple product launch then  :signLOL:

I was reading it, not 100% on it at the moment Would have liked to see 12MP Camera on the rear, no front buttons at all. But saying that its got a 2100+ mAh removable battery a,long with the SD Slot and the ICS features it describes are immense.

Open a message, and just move phone to your ear, and it starts calling?

That;s sweet. Would have liked to maybe see brushed ali and not a plasticy type, but saying that, I'll probably still buy it.

The hype for the iPhone 5 is going to be crazy.

Might pitch my tent up now  :signLOL:

Ahh, I see, I've stepped into a sore spot where Apple fanboi's know there phones are outdated and are hitting back with thinly veiled attempts at comedy to mask their feelings of phone inadequacy.  :P :evilgrin: :wink:

I feel no inadequacy with my 4S or iOS. Does everything I want it to very well. I just don't like Android. And yes, I have used it a lot. But if you do like it, that's fine.  :happy2:

I can imagine that the iPhone 5 will be bigger and better too as Apple will have had time to look at the competition before October. Samsung are being mentioned as a probable supplier of the screen!! So what you see in the Samsung Galaxy SIII may well be the screen of the iPhone 5!

haha I like this, seeing Samsung/android have to keep releasing new phones to keep up with Apple and follow them in every foot step.

Got to like the Andriod fanboys.  :P

The Samsung whateveritis is the ONLY phone that I would have if I had to choose another phone apart from my iPhone.

but that will never happen will it?  :innocent:


…Seriously I was initially very impressed with my brothers Samsung thingy II.

Regardless of which phone you have / favour, at least as consumers we have two companies doing battle in the market place.  Motorola, SonyEricsson and especially Nokia have really not brought anything significant to the market for a long time.

Anyhow who's gonna by some Facebook shares at circa $30 each when the float.

I am seriously considering this. Facebovvered is currently valued at "up to $95bn"

Might be a worthwhile investment for the future.

Seriously though I have to agree with Thor about the value of decent competition, it makes for a very good prospect for future products.  :happy2:

They are just so ridiculously sized. A subtle screen size improvement for the iPhone 5 will be nice, but i would never wish to be carrying something like that monstrosity round with me.  :grin:

Siri FTW.

You ought to be able to change women's voices on there too!

Monte, the Galaxy boat is a little too big - women know this too.  :wink:

we know are an IPhone free household, we ditched both our iPhones for Samsungs Nexus and S2. Best phones out there,
But still love our iPads for future connectivity with all our Sky equipment which looks more then interesting  Which I found out today :jumpmove:
