You must not watch TV. All three versions are all over the TV. Maybe you live under a rock!

This is terrible advice. Don't buy something that isn't popular? Really? If I had gone by that rule I'd never have bought my HD2 or my Evo View & I'd have missed out on two excellent devices. Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's the best.
Here's some advice that everyone can follow- do your research, go to the store & play with different devices, and buy whichever one you like best.

excuse us for not following popular trend and buying into apple's half assed over priced crap
we arent as "creative" as you applers because not all of us use the exact same phone
thanks.

A while ago Engadget had an article on the best smartphones for the four major carriers and used this for the cover. It's definitely popular..

Well, I don't think thats a good advice, my advice is before buying a phone like the galaxy s2, look for issues about it in the internet and try it out before you buy it.
I regret saying that Engadget's article about the screen issue wasn't that noticeable and they had it on a really dark place etc. Now i'm noticing that every darn day.

Windows mobile is a slow and laggy phones. Phones should be released so they don't need to be hacked. It should be because the owner wants to. That's my opinion on it

You know this is one of the most selling phones in the world right.... Right? Samsung has put millions in marketing and made a version for every major American carrier and is attempting to sell more than the original.... You are aware of that right? So you started this thread to be flamed.... Correct?

If you have not purchased one yet. I would suggest the GNEX. It has exceeded my expectations and ICS OS is pretty nice.

I would agree Nexii are amazing devices. But when I choose a device I take a look here on XDA, see what the development community is like and then i will get it

Nexus 7 owner thinking about getting infinity pad

Hi guys I have a nexus 7 got it on release . It is my first ever tablet I love it but I find myself using my gnex more than it .I feel like it is an over sized gnex rather than a true tablet . I recently sold my dell xps 15 z and I really need something I can use to do word documents check email tweet a bit Skype my girl friend etc ..I was wondering if selling my nexus 7 to get an infinity pad is a good idea?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I was deciding between the Nexus 7 and the Transformer Infinity for my first tablet purchase. The iPad was out because of the closed ecosystem, and I have already paid for android apps on my phone that will scale up well once installed on the tablet. The Nexus 7 was almost a no brainer for me, it has a great price, quad-core processor, amazing screen and great software support from Google except for the lack of
1. MicroSD expandability (gameloft games on average take up at least 2 gigs of internal memory)
2. HDMI-out (with apps like Netflix, Hulu plus, and HBO go not to mention flash support, being able to output that to a TV screen is a huge plus)
For about twice as much as the Nexus 7, the Infinity offers a higher resolution screen that's also brighter powered by a top of the line quad core processor. It also includes a microSD slot, 8 mp camera, microHDMI out and the ability to expand via a mobile docking station that adds additional battery life, full sized USB OTG support and a SD slot. I have to say that all the additional features are worth the extra premium. I don't have to worry about storage space and the tablet functions much like a laptop replacement for me. If you're on the fence between the two, I'd say go for the Infinity.

Thanks dude yeah I have the nexus 7 now ...idk it just seems like an overweight galaxy nexus ....I'm really leaning on getting the tf700

I had the same situation, I was wondering between Nexus 7 and Asus Infinity. Those were actually the only options I was considering.
Lets just say that finally the decision turned into Infinity because here in FInland cannot yet buy Nexus 7. Also because I already have a big screened phone (SGS3) i was thinking that the difference between phone and tablet would then be quite small.
My feelings are quite divided currently. On the other hand I love the screen, it is sharp and nice. I like to read books and magazines from it. But then on the other hand the Android system is very laggy. Not sure what is going on here but this is much worse than for example with Galaxy S 2 and no reason to put this on the same table with Galaxy S 3.
Also for example right now I just for some reason lost connection to wifi and this claims not in range. However I have Galaxy S 3 and ipad 1 just next to it and both are working just fine..
I truly hope this is just some sucky software, but currently can't say I am impressed...
Just watching videos about Nexus 7..should I..

Yeah, I had a nexus 7. It wasn't bad just didn't have enough space. It was surely an upgrade to the galaxy tab 8.9 I had before it. I gave my mom the nexus 7 when I picked up the Infinity, and the Infinity is great. The FFC on the Infinity is nice for Skype and the key-dock isn't bad. Its a little small but not hard to type on. I have extra-large glove sized hands and I never get typos on regular keyboards, but do get a few on the Infinity's. I wouln't want to write a novel on the Infinity but for short papers, emails, etc its not bad at all and beats onscreen keyboards hands down. Lots of luck in your decision making.

I have both...the Nexus 7 is fun to play games on and read on...also, there is a lot of development for it already and it's fun to flash new roms and kernels. It does have serious storage limitations and you just can't use it for anything related to productivity, at least I can't. The TF infinity is just a bigger. more meaty tablet...I'm typing this now on the keyboard dock, got a wireless mouse, and with the super battery life I'm getting, I really don't need a laptop. I'm running the Zeus rom and it's much smoother and snappier than before.

That's because it's impossible to answer a question like that - we are not you - we don't use the device the same as you would. How can someone else decide which device is better for you? That's a personal decision based on your usage and personal preferences!
Personally, I think the Nexus 7 and the Infinity are two completely different beasts. It's very hard to truly compare them. One is small enough to slide it your jacket pocket and one is more of a netbook replacement (assuming you get the keyboard dock). They really are geared toward different audiences.
So, to answer you question - go to a store and try them out and see which you would prefer! That's the only way to really answer your question.

I was in the same exact situation as you! I bought the Nexus 7 and really did like it especially the smoothness and the feel of jelly bean. But I have an Evo 4G lte 4.5 inch screen it just felt like a bigger version of it. So I sold the Nexus 7 and bought the Infinity and I've had it for a couple of days and I have mixed feelings. The screen on the infinity is amazing, but the lagginess and wifi dropping off is kinda getting on my nerves. The Nexus 7 did not have these issues I'm disappointed in the performance and debating exchanging it and trying a new one. I think in retrospect I should have kept the Nexus and the Infinity. Just my two cents.

I have the Nexus 7 and someone is offering me a swap and I only have to add 200 dollars for the 64gb version! The form factor of the N7 is unbeatable, it's extremely portable and easy to play games on. Surfing is a breeze and you don't feel tired when holding it for a very long time. On the other hand the screen has a lot less to be desired upon AND the screen flickering issue of the n7 is INSANE. I was just about ready to give up on the n7 but I just flashed AOKP build 3 and it might have just did the trick! I also brought my router closer and I think it does help.
I've been reading on the transformer and it has the same screen flickering issue so I'm having second thoughts.

I personally have zero screen flickering on either the Transformer Infinity or on the Nexus 7 (which my daughter has now appropriated). I believe that there are a number of units of both tablets with hardware issues but I've been fortunate enough not to experience them.

Why do you use a tablet?

Ok so basically I got this about 3 months ago bearing in mind it was a suprise for the parents. I felt like I loved it for the first few days but then it just kies there on charge all day... I really want to use it but I just end up getting bored and having nothing to do because I also have a HOX. So yeah I'm a student and I just need some reasons to love this again.

Got it for the stylus capabilities. At first it was used as a web and media device (via Allshare Cast Dongle) now though it has pretty much replaced my laptop. I use it for writing, drawing, designing, basically 90% of what I used my laptop and PC for.
People always say about tablets that they are only good for internet and social networking. Maybe because they have only used iPad and other non stylus tablets. Use a Note and spend some time with the stylus, learning what you can do, allowing time to adapt to a new way of doing things and you will find the beauty of this tablet. Be warned though, it will ruin every other device you own and use that doesn't have a stylus input.
A perfect example. You happen across an article online containing a small snippet of info you really want to keep and share with friends. On laptop/PC you need to save the web address or highlight the relevant sections and cut and paste then send as email either as an attachment or web link. On a tablet? Actually not sure how you would do it without tearing every last hair from your head. On the note, click on the stylus draw round the article and then send to friend. It also saves to clipboard.
Need to annotate something for future reference, not a clue how to do it on PC without specific software, on other tablets not sure it can be done easily, on the note one click and you are writing on the screen.
Need to take some handwritten notes, no problem. Some calculations etc etc.
I'll stop now cause this is starting to sound like a sales pitch on behalf of Samsung and I'm not being paid to sell it. All I would say is delve into what the device can do for you before writing it off. There may be a learning curve as far as the stylus goes (I still find things I didn't know it could do even now) but that is why you bought this device over the competition.

I use mine to Web surf and play games while on the can

I've seen that a couple of years ago but with an Ipad. The guy had a rack for it installed in which he snapped the iphone and where it connected to the cars sound system, an extra GPS antenna and I think also connected to he's phone by BT so that he could use it to make and take phone calls.

I personally think the SIII + Android wallops any phone running windows. If you're pissed at yourself and want to teach yourself a lesson, then yeah make the trade.

If you like the windows phone launcher just get launcher 8. It's free and then you have the ability to get the best of both world. Android is great because you can transform it to look like anything. Also if you want the windows notifications there are apps for that to. That is why android is great you can mix and match to make it look like anything. You could even make it look like an iphone with espier launcher (personally wouldn't do that).

No, I wouldnt. I would get bored of the UI really quick and not being able to customize it much

I'd give it a shot. If nothing else you'll reinforce your decision one way or another.
I got the HTC Trophy Windows Phone and was quite happy with it. At the time it was very refreshing to have a phone that was always responsive and never needed a reboot....it just worked. I was also glad to have free time in the evenings again by not tweaking/reflashing my phone all the time. There were very few apps that I couldn't find alternatives for with Windowws phone....don't let anyone talk about quantity of appa like 125k apps aren't enough...another refreshing experience was the uniformed-ness of the apps...and the general clean looks.
There are a lot of things Microsoft did right, but in the end there were too many limitations compared to what android offered (actual file management for non music, video, or picture files).
I'd keep an eye on Windows Phone as really some of those limitations were due to MS playing catch up and not having enough time to implement them. They will fill out those features soon enough.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

No for the sole reason of a pathetic number of apps (good apps...not random apps. ex: still no pandora app). Is verizon giving you this as a replacement or are you selling it? If its a replacement, no way...new gs3 for a refurb windows phone..thats a no for me.

Stop with the lack of apps bit. Sure there may not be an official Pandora app, but there were at least 2 apps that used the Pandora api and worked just as good as Pandora....let alone the html5 Pandora webpage worked fine...including you still being able to use the universal music controls on the lock screen. The unofficial app was actually better because it never played an ad....though it might have changed in the last couple of months.
Now to back track a bit as I got carried away with supporting Windows Phone to realize what you were really asking.....with the support Samsung has behind the S3 and the hardware features I don't think you'd really be gaining anything by switching....in fact I will admit that you'll probably lose features by switching. If you had an older Android phone then sure, but an S3 is too capable and stable to be replaced by anything just yet...except maybe a Note 2....

Projector phone

A year or two back I recall an ad, I believe it was Samsung, for a phone that had a projector function. The ad showed young people displaying video on a caravan I think. Don't see that anymore, what happened? Technology too poor? Never caught on with consumers? Why? Just curious.

The phone would become bulky if there is a projector function in it. Plus, no one seems really interested in that feature in Mobile phones, maybe that's why they've stopped it.

The phone you talk about is called the Samsung Galaxy Beam. The phone doesn't have a big audience and not many people are not yet interested in this type of tech and after personally holding one in my hands it is way to bulky and fat compared to the newer phones.

Never saw that one - I've seen that Brookstone has a pocket project for iPhone. Not sure how good it is though. Looks a little bulky for carrying around in your pocket though.

There was a surge in pocket projectors main manufacturer was Pico I believe. The Lumens output were limited but, in darkened areas they are OK but, expensive in comparison. A decent small projector around £400 the Pico projectors around £250. For the size and capabilities they weren't really justified in many people's opinions.
As for the phone, as already advised it is the Galaxy Beam. I think though it was only available in South Korea
