I would suggest finding an HTC HD2...the US version. You'll never get bored with it and you'll be able to run a great many different OSes on it. Trade you GS2 for one of those.

galaxy 3 is rare, so I suggest you keep it. Samsung only released galaxy 2 so you have a one of a kind device.

I think your confused. mine is a galaxy 3. Not a galaxy S3. mine is otherwise known as a gt-i 5800 apollo. It was bought at cpw about three months ago.

Im after a straight swap and i think i would have to put quite a bit of cash toward a htc hd2. Thats why i was thinking on the regions of an iphone 3g ors 3gs at a push

oooh i misread it... I apologize.

Nooooo... how could one switch from android to iphone.... if you have extra cash on hand perhaps you could buy a second hand ipod touch.(and keep the galaxy 3)

iPhone is the Devil.. Atleast that is what Mamma always says.

It's anyone's guess at this stage what the next Samsung Galaxy smartphone is going to be like, lots of rumors doing the rounds personally im happy to wait until next year with the GS2 which is still the best in the business.
[The rumored specs of the GS3 though do sound amazing]
Awesome specs but I wish they provide better software support to existing sgs n sgs 2 my sgs 2 is still on 2.3.3 waiting for updtes to arive in india n I dont wana flash as its already working awesome at least til warrenty lasts

For my part I hope Samsung do more both hardware, and software, testing before launching the SIII.
On Tuesday I'm going to send my S2 and Tab 10.1 back for repair.
The S2 have random locs/reboots and somewhat loose homebutton.
The TAB has watermarks/newton-rings.
Maybe I have been unlucky with my first Samsung devices but I have never had devices, 30-40 phones and pc's over the years, with faults like this after only 2 months use.

My samsung galaxy S2 has been very good to me.
I hope the 720p screen doesn't make me have to squint my eyes to see something. >.>
Especially when reading text. Dx
I am going to stick to my S2/i5 phones, but I can't wait to see what the S3 brings.
P.S I not been asked about my iphone yet and I am glad. (I have had two ask if my S2 was the Iphone 5, but no one has said the same about my iphone 5.lol)

You're claiming to have an iphone 5?
4.3" is big enough, add a case and you're carrying a novel in your pocket, 4.7" will be like carrying a box of cereal in your pocket. That said, if it's light, and slim, it might not be so bad.

I don't care if any one think's I do/don't have an Iphone "5" or not. I like my galaxy s2 better any ways.
Edit: ontopic
I think 4core phones will be when the smart phone market nears it's highest point. The S3 may start to get Iphone like sales as well if it get's to the states faster than the S2.
more rumours originated from 4chan?

I did not bring it up like I want to be cool or anything. I have had alot of thing's before anyone else:
Halo: ODST
Cr-48
A game I can't name at this time( They will come to get me if name it.)
And now the Iphone ok.
P.S Ok so not a lot, but you get the point. The Cr-48 was the coolest to me and I have not had the phone for long they are just geting them in. I did not think every one would be so mad, but the ICS thread should have spelled it out for me.
Now about the Iphone part, I was just saying I am unlikey going to buy the S3, but it should be cool and I can't wait to see it.

Nexus S or some other phone????

I was planning to buy nexus s nd i even got a deal for $359
But after the launch of samsung galaxy nexus,samsung has stopped all the warranty and after sales service for the nexus s
So which phone should I buy??
and my budget is of $360 Only
What carrier? That is alot to pay for an outdated phone. You can get a used phone that is much better for $360...

Don't get a nexus S, its a hardly upgraded vibrant that was a complete waste of money on release. I bought a used one for 180 and gave it to my 5 year old sister it was such a letdown.
If you really must have a developer phone when wait for the Galaxy Nexus. Otherwise, I recommend any of the Samsung branded phones. I love my Galaxy Captivate, my wife uses the new Galaxy Infuse and the Galaxy S II looks bad-ass IMO.

I don't completely disagree, although the Vibrant was priced similarly just anywhere I looked (at least in my part of Canada back when I bought mine).
Sometimes wish I got the Vibrant for the Gorilla glass, but I'm definitely loving the dev community the Nexus S has. That's what is really making me feel like I made a good decision.

Enough in my honest opinion, seeing how some lesser phones still get development for a few months after becoming "obsolete" in the sense of their technology getting slightly outdated.
Nevertheless, I think all Nexus models will get decent development, judging from the Nexus One and S.
It's a game nobody will win, technology is forever going further and the moment you buy something, there's something new right around the corner or already available on the market. You can always decide to play the waiting game if you're not in need for a change right now, just don't get stuck waiting forever...

A damn lot! Look at the Nexus One! If I'm not mistaken, Dr Kmobs from cyanogenmod is still using and developing for his. The nexus One was either the first or second device to get an ICS SDK port. Not everyone can afford the latest and greatest, any dev phone will get a fair amount of custom ROM love. If you can get a good deal on a nexus S, and you think its what you want, go for it. You aren't gonna be left behind any time soon. That said, if you want the very latest and greatest, get a galaxy nexus, its a huge upgrade.

Nothing like a huge cover to keep it from getting scratched!
Can't wait for the day our phones are near indestructible bricks lasting forever on a charge. It's sad to have such sexy technology getting covered with covers, enhanced with bulky batteries and needing to be constantly plugged in.
Likely the only reasons I miss the days I was using dumbphones, they were indestructible or of no real value, they would last a week on a charge and definitely did not cost as much.

my suggestion, watch Craigslist. My gs2 cost me 280 dollars like new.
I think xperia neo is also a good option.
I am getting it for the same price($359)
But I want to get the ICS update as fast as possible...
And acc. to you guyz wen will we get some used GALAXY NEXUS (NEXUS PRIME)
on ebay.com
I will strongly recommend you Samsung Galaxy S2 if your budget provides. Other than that, Nexus S is actually a pretty good phone (very good for this price). The next Google phone series is Galaxy Nexus which will be priced around 35k (INR). That may overkill your budget.
Better stick with Nexus S. It will also get the ICS update very soon, at least earlier than other non-stock android phones (Galaxy S2).
As for Xperia Neo V, it is a great phone too, if you can get it around for 15k (@ adexmart). You may want to try both of these phones at a retail store. Thumbs up to whichever suits you better.
To be honest, you may want to ask for such queries @ thinkdigit. They're aware of the Indian smartphone market better.
I love my NS. The development community is very active, and it'll get even more so when ICS is pushed to the NS!
Plus, with Voodoo and a very stable CyanogenMod build, it blows the doors off my old Vibrant. The stock-black with no carrier branding looks very sexy, too.

get a new one

Samsung Galaxy Nexus or other phone such as S III ??

Hi all, as the title
I dunno is it the best time to go for Samsung Galaxy Nexus
but I really love it
because my current phone is LG optimus one which is my 1st android phone
furthermore, once I buy either 1 of them I don't want to change phone for 2year, so if get Nexus now, then get next 2 generation Nexus phone(same to other)
so which should I go ??
and also since MWC gonna reach, and sure got new phone announce
but after wait them announce, still need wait them release, and bring by either Samsung, LG, Motorola and other for my country for the original set
*i prefer original set than ap set(not sure other country got ap set or not)
so anyone please help me decide ><
thanks
Regards
Imo it's not worth the wait because the SGSIII will be like the nexus but with better internal specs which really isn't noticeable, unless you like to play games a lot on your phone or something.
SGS2 over the nexus if you can live with touchwiz or CM9. Benefit of a nexus line is that you get updates first and a true aosp rom.
SGS3 may be out Q2 or even Q3 if it gets delayed. Who knows what improvements it will bring.

If you're always trying to stay atop of the game, you'll be disappointed.
Go with the Nexus instead of waiting for the SGSIII.
At least you know you'll always have a dev community and at least Google support for years.
I would go for galaxy nexus instead of waiting. I hate waiting for new phones. I think, if you have a good phone, it will remain good although a new one was released in next months
If you don't mind Touchwiz and love specs, probably the S3. But if you want the fastest updates and can't wait get the Galaxy Nexus. It's impossible to stay on top of everything in the mobile space unless you got a bunch of cash to burn. If you keep waiting there will be more developments but at what cost?

I'd wait for the SGSIII because of better specs but I think that the TouchWiz interface that Samsung will surely slap on there will spoil it for me. You can always flash another ROM though.

Yes the Nexus has it. You should go for the Nexus. Both phones are basically equal specs wise, but the Nexus is always going to be special. Also, if you want an SGSIII when it comes out the Nexus will hold its resale value better than the SGSII.
Galaxy S or SII its the best, because is android and is really solid material is SAMSUNG and is great.

There is a great camera comparison between the 2 phones. If camera is your MOST important feature, I would go with the SGSII. If you like AOSP and the Nexus line, go with the Nexus. With the review though, the cameras aren't that far apart, and the Nexus takes better pictures with the flash. I personally have just bought a Nexus.

The next nexus will be much better, I'm also looking forward to it..
Swyped from my GT-i9100
If it's for JB, Sammy's already stated they're working on it for the S2 and S3. Obviously that could take quite a while knowing their reputation but CM10 will come to save the day. So you're not missing out with the S2. Not to mention the nexus hardware is a teeny bit outdated at the moment, you'll notice it. Personally, Id stick with the S2. It really is the better phone. Hope I helped
the Galaxy note 2 should be out shortly and that phone is going to be a BEAST.
I also have a galaxy s2 that I'm planning on selling but was thinking about keeping as a secondary and just dropping my insurance.
The plus is that you can probably get about $250 for the Galaxy s2 with your accessories if you sell now.

I would only get a nexus if you wanted vanilla android right out the box. Personally, I think the S2 is the better phone. Better processor, camera, and it has an SD card slot.
The one thing I love about the nexus is the notification light being in the same location as the nexus one ..not a big deal but still kinda cool..

From the introducing of Nexus brand by Google it became the phone of Developer.
I bought one in 2010 and am using it today.
I know that it is too old, but I love it.
My opinion - to get Nexus.
(maybe wait the the next model)
I'm thinking the same. I'm using SGS2 T989 now and really like pure Android OS. I'll wait for the next Google phone. In the meantime, I'll just wait for CM9/10 to be stable enough for my T989
Wait
Probably a good idea to wait for the next Nexus phone, maybe from Motorola this time?
Are you upgrading for the sake of upgrading or do you have a real need? I'm personally going to skip this generation as I see no need for a new phone
Im aggree with ez2.. Galaxy note 2 best!!

[Q] Leaving SGS4G soon :(

I have finally decided that I need to get a better phone, since allot of phones are getting these new hardware such as NFC and all the new bells and whistles. The SGS4G community taught me allot, because they are helpful even though they can be rough on the edges. I might also be planning to sell my phone but not anytime soon but defnitely in a month or two. I'm planning ahead so I don't get all panicked when I pick a new phone. Also if you are interested on buying my phone please contact me, we shall discuss about the price. (Includes Otter box casing for protection, optional but I can give you the unlock code if you have a different carrier, I can pre-install ICS Google AOSP (from Erikmm) or stock Gingerbread with or without root)
Which next Samsung phone should I get?
I could ask on their forums yes but I want the opinion of the people here in my community. I am thinking of either getting the Galaxy Nexus or the Galaxy S III, but I can't decide, each phone has their pro's and con's.
If I get Galaxy Nexus I get direct updates from Google without Samsung/T-Mobile holding firmwares at bay. However if I get GS3 I get ton's of features extending from hardware to exclusive applications.
So please answer it below, you can suggest another brand phone but I highly doubt I'll get it.
The galaxy s 3 is without a doubt the best phone out there right now.
People will argue that the nexus is better because it gets updates faster. Yes, the galaxy nexus will get software updates directly from Google but software can only go so far and the hardware is almost a year old. The s3 has a huge development community so expect to get the latest android version with all the top roms (cm10 aokp miui paranoid android) on it.
If you're willing to wait, get the new nexus or the galaxy note 2.
If you are planning some months ahead then by that time there will be newer phone than the GS3. Which is the best phone now, but just now. That could change easily with the Note or a new Nexus.

They are already talking about a galaxy s 4.
http://www.wptv.com/dpp/news/world/...a-5-inch-screen-one-inch-bigger-than-iphone-5
Getting a new phone now is pretty dumb. Waiting til later this year or even the beginning of next year to hop on a quad core s4 or exynos is the ideal thing to do. I'm talking the s4 pro with the new architecture by the way. You'll also get the new adreno gpu or what Sammy offers depending on what device you choose. For instance many signs are pointing to that new LG Optimus G being a nexus device. That would be a gigantic leap from the sgs4g, even more so than the gsiii, by a lot. I'm just advising that you wait it out a couple more months cus it'll be worth it

You can always make sgs4g a mp3 player aka Galaxy player 4.0 lol
That's funny. I have the galaxy s3 and I use my sgs4g as a music player because of voodoo sound. Mind you the sound on the US s3 is not bad but could be better like the international one.

Take a look at Tmobs website. You can get an S3 16GB for 99 bucks or the 32GB for 149. It's a pretty damn good phone and at that price you can just sell it when the S4 finally hit the US a year from now. If your not under contract and have some cash to throw at it get the international version.

Yeah I'm not under a contract :\ I might as well get it on a contract cause I definitely don't have 589.98 dollars lying around LOL. I might get the 16 GB version since I don't really put stuff in my phone, everything is in the cloud except for my music. I also have my old 16 GB card that came along with my SGS4G. So I might get a contract to get a lowered price.
This is what I found

Well I did say if you have some cash. lol Not being under contract opens up your options quite a bit though. I switched over to ATT about a year ago cause TMOB where I live sucks. I just unlocked my 4G and used it for a few months. When the Skyrocket came out I was able to score a refurbished one for 10 bucks with a new 2 year plan. The thing is if your a good costumer you can get that same deal again in about a year. You'll have to talk to upper level CS but they always will do it. Not sure if the same thing works with TMOB or Verizon.

Samsung Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959V)
Hence... This forum.
You should wait a month or so to see is Sony, LG, and HTC have in the pipe in the way in a nexus. Then decide between those the s3, note 2, and incredible x...
If you are planning to keep a phone for 2 years then you should have the best roster possible... I know you asked only about Samsung... and I love Samsung but I am growing ever tired of their plastic builds and home button...
