Just heard that verizon has officially passed up on carrying the galaxy s 2. What a **** move, it was going to be my next phone. I guess sammy didn't want to add 4g so they passed. At least that's what i read just now on neowin. God im ticked!
Fine with me. I will not touch another Samsung phone after the epic fail with the Galaxy 1 series (I had the ATT Captivate).

Yep, it's a good phone. Galaxy s1 series issues were mostly the file system's fault. They went with ext4 on the s2, not the crappy RFS hacked up crap they used to use.
Well hopefully the nexus prime is coming then.
OP needs to calm down though, he'll start scaring people

They're going to have an s2, just not call it one.

lol looking at that picture I can see why Samsung is getting the ever living sh*t sued out of them. Wow! Never really thought the overall look was similar to the Jesus-phone but now I do 100%.
as long as i can get one and it looks like the gs2 ill be happy. but knowing verizon it will look totally different.

GPS was horrible on the Galaxy 1 series and glancing over at the Galaxy II thread, there still are GPS issues.

True, forgot about that. At least the driver for GPS is opensource in the S2, so potentially it could be fixed by the community if it's not a hardware issue itself.

Vzw probably passed on the sgs2 becuase they are getting the nexus prime made by Samsung. Why carry both phones, it doesn't make sense, if the prime is everything it is supposed to be no one will want the sgs2.

It sucks that Verizon decided against the GSII. I am ready to move on from the Thunderbolt. I don't think the Bionic will be quite on par, but who knows....
Oh well, hopefully they'll get the Nexus Prime.
My sgs2 actually saved me from being a rom addict lol. Since I got it I didn't feel the need of custom roms. Stock gs2 rom its perfectly fast... I have the phone for about 3 months and still running stock ...phone is sick.... I hope the t mobile or sprint version comes with the exynos CPU.....

I've heard that several times now-- basically every "premium" android phone that's come down the pipes from them
Hey guys, not long ago there had been reports regarding an anonymous user having the opportunity to try out a Nexus Prime beta unit and he reported the information on the net. Here are the details.
http://www.seednonym.com/2011/09/information-regarding-upcoming-nexus.html
The reliability of the information is rather solid itself, as it was Samsung itself who granted the "anonymous" the test unit.
Let me know what you guys think. Thank you. The information may not be precise, hence read it with a pinch of salt.
Update 1: Accordingly current Exynos chipsets do not support LTE and the Nexus Prime is unlikely to be 3G only. Most predictions are pointing towards TI OMAP4460 bundled with PowerVR SGX544.
Rumors and rumors, an anonymous 4chan user
lol 4chan has zero credibility from everything I hear.
i think it is just a rumor again. Just wait to November when Samsung/Google release it :d
haha yeah, just that the rumour sounds too true to be rumour, i've decided to share it with you guys.
First post updated.
you can't believe anything from 4chan, there's no solid proof
also if they did had it on hand, why they couldn't even snap a picture of the phone, huh?
LOL at least they could have photoshop one to make it more believable
Prime will be using omap chip as confirmed since day 1. Don't know when exynos rumor began?

Although I'd like to see the same, Samsung does tend to have much better hardware. It doesn't really matter who makes it though because it'll still have stock Android on it.
The folders and ease of use of the device, sounds a lot like the Droid Bionic.
.... Apple don't complain and go to legal actions about patents, glass and metal case etc., after first have released Iphone 5 before the SII hits the market.

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.

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?

Did you see anything cool besides an iPhone during your time in the future?
If you really have an iPhone5, then that ABSOLUTELY is what this topic is about now...You apparently have something in your possession no tech publication, reputable news agency, etc have been able to get their hands on.

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.
Edit: You will all see the truth on 09/4/11.

It isn't allowing the CPU to sleep, Verizon users are having serious signal issues, some users aren't getting multi-touch, also the fact that the gs2 is smoother thanks to Sammy's work on it. The only amazing thing ICS really brought was the ability for devs to build across phones and tablets more easily. GB was just as well off.

Actually it wasn't a signal issue with Verizon phones. The cpu sleep issue is fixed, and the multi touch doesn't affect everyone, and has also been fixed with the software update...but ok. I would hardly call that "plagued".
completely agree with u
it had some launch issues but now 99% has been fixed so go for galaxy nexus
do NOT get galaxy s 2 because number 3 is around the corner (March hopefully)
nokia lumia 800
what about htc sensation?
By software, Galaxy Nexus
By hardware, i THINK it's the Galaxy S II
I prefer the Xperia Play though,
And maybe you would want to wait on the Xperia S
(Yes. I'm a Sony loving guy )
Out of those 3 choices I'd say the Galaxy Nexus solely because its running stock Android and will get official Android updates first.
As for the issues, meh I dont care coz I dont even own the phone.

Actually it is not trolling. You can't argue that the hardware is not old technology. And my opinion on the software is in line with the majority of this forum. Trolling would be going into the WP7 forums and starting threads praising android.
Hi friends,
I was thinking of buying Galaxy R. But wanted your review..How is this phone? and why very less development in this forum? I heard it will get Official ICS update in mid 2012..but over all would you guys recommend me this phone?
how is the battery life?
Would you guys recommend me this phone over SE neo V or xperia pro?
is it worth going for this phone for its dual core and nvidia GPU?
Any help would be appreciated
Thank You
There are already few similar threads on previous pages of this section.
Thanks but its been many days since anyone asked such question
and also now there r more users hence more view on this phone

Better than the Sony phones. Battery life depends on hour usage. Generally lasts a day. Worth buying. Less Dev support because it launched quite late and after the S2. So not many people bought it.

I meant its UI is like their non-android phones(cheap phones)..they look alomost same...hence it doesnt feel gud
development is importart for me..i am coming from moto defy...lots of development happens over dere( 2nd rank in CyanogenMod ranking )
Galaxy R has got very good hardware..dunno y dev is so less...
HW is pretty decent! I have never had any single issue with this handset. Aftermarket development is unfortunately an Achilles heel for now, but it can change for better. FW is very good, stable, you can hardly notice any bugs. But yeah I admit touchwizz is really ugly. I came from HTC and I really preferred Sense UI. But sammy's stock roms have this advantage that they are quite easily customizable, and you don't have to be a dev to do that.

Yes they have already stopped manufacturing i guess.

I agree with you. It was a very nice price for such hardware and regarding the rumours about the manufacturing defects. i think as long as they have manufacturers warranty there is nothing to get worried about.
another strange thing which i noticed is that people started buying more and more R from the time it started getting out of stock. Hope development doesn't stop.
ICS is really the best thing about it and truly speaking i am not much impressed by the Galaxy S advance whcih i think would be around 25-26k indian rupees. so S2 or even the Note would be better option for buyers.
