is not as big as i though it would have been
it actually might be a nice PHONE, rather than a small tablet
wow! i might actually pick up one of these, instead of the Samsung Hercules or the Prime (Samsung Nexus 3)
Cool it looks good. I just wish one of the people that had an opportunity to get some hands on time would take a close look at the screen to try and see if it was a pentile array. Other than that it looks like a solid device, but it because of the size it did look a little awkward in his hands.
So the stylus is cool now?

Well it actually seems handy considering that its accurate. Before I tried taking some notes on a tab and it was horrible. If this thing is as accurate as it seems, taking down quick notes would be nice.
But honestly, I don't give half a **** about the stylus, I'm looking for a phone thats powerful and has a nice screen. Size doesn't matter, well it doesn't matter as long as its bigger than 4".
I like it a lot. I mean I could ditch my tablet, and stick with this thing.

Kmon man... that guy has huge hands and the phone can barely fit in his hand.
To myself, the phone looks HUGE. And what's up with that stylus? It reminds me of Palm devices from 90's...
love at first site.
can't wait for them to release this.
And all these people saying it's too big, well my HD2 was considered too big lmao
Dang this phone is so big it works as a cup holder too!

Battery life should be decent. It does come with 2500mah battery
Regardless of size...
..it turns out that having such a huge resolution ( beating many notebooks out there) in a pocket (1280x800)is a dream come true...
Give four, please !!!!
Make it five, just in case....!!!!
Hope I can find something like "Cookies Home Tab", but for Android...

good guess, but rumours has it at around $700 ~ $800
not much different than the current SGS2 at $600 ~ $700
hey all, i currently have an incredible S, but my upgrade sometime next year. im looking at SGS2s because the phones seem to be the best on the market at the moment. BUT with quad core technology around the corner, i might just wait for a highly possible SGS3. i really like htc, but the s2s seem to kill anything that comes near it. discuss below...

Get what works for you now. Waiting for something better to come out will just make you wait forever because something better is always around the corner
If futureproofing is your main concern, Galaxy Nexus is the winner
BTW I have a SGS2 and love it
sEnT fRoM mY ExYnOs PoWeReD MoNsTeR
The most powerful phone right now is the Galaxy S II yet if you want to future proof you should go Nexus.
And remember the downfall of everyone "There's always something better ... if a wait a little while"
No phone is or will be future proof. There is no money in it and in the end that is what the OEM are most worried about
I wanna Samsung Galaxy Note with ICS
Think about HTC Desire
Right now the best choice for me would be an Galaxy Nexus. But only if the lacking Memory Card slot don´t bothers you to much.
The great advantage of this phone is the fast supply with new android updates.
Apple does a pretty good job future proofing their iPhone.
Microsoft isn't doing too shabby.
Android, not so much

And the hardware on all WP7 devices are 1-2 years old.
I really love my Samsung Focus, it's the perfect size I think.
I love my GSII but CES is just next week, so I would suggest waiting for it. I think the Arc HD will be announced there and it seems to be awesome. But if you are buying a phone right now get the GS2.
Sent from my Galaxy SII using XDA App
You should buy Galaxy s2 or if you can wait for 7-8 months then buy galaxy s3 which i guess will be released at that time.
I would recommend the Sony Xperia S.
Definetly worth waiting for
I got the new Galaxy Nexus and hated it. Just swapped it out for the HTC Rezound. LOVE it. Awesome phone. And its getting ICS officially.
Droid Razr!
So....got the skyrocket several weeks (like 2 months) ago...and behold...the gs3 announcement that I was stupid enough not to wait for. Well..I have a spare upgrade available on my att account that I can easily get the gs3 under upgrade price with..but should I do it when it hits US? Would love to hear any and all opinions on the question

Well
is it so much of an upgrade that you cant live with out it? i dont see much difference except the better screen and supposedly better battery, but ill agree it beats it out a bit in preformance due to RAM but from this article, http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-vs-samsung-galaxy-s2-82255/
im still pretty happy with my GSII. i think the GSII is sleek, thin, and good looking. im keeping mine and not worried about an upgrade.
I was going to wait for the s3 back in like February but the wait seemed so long so I just went with the skyrocket and love it! I'm glad that I didn't wait, not saying the s3 isn't good but not that big of an upgrade

The GS3 seems great, but that screen is way to big for me... even the skyrocket is a bit too big to fit in my hand and its even annoying some time. The perfect screen size is about 4" IMO

An S4 Quad would be nice, determining how a S4 dual compares to the T3. i honestly don't think Samsung is stupid enough to announce the GS3 stretching the quad core thing out as the biggest feature, and release it here in 'merica with a dual.
I'm kinda thinking that LTE is where the carriers want to go... So I'd think that until the manufacturers can get LTE to work on the quad core, we're going to see a "North American" version Dual Core LTE Slll. But who knows, there's still plenty of Markets in Canada & the US, which don't have LTE service.. so maybe we'll see both the Quad & Dual core phones in N. A.... Just to keep Samsung's penchant for having technically different phones, with the SAME Damn name....

Hey Fellow Infuser's....
So are you guys thinking about going S3? I am sort of on the fence about it as I am due for an upgrade, but the S3 is launching with a 2 core LTE.
I am thinking they might due the old switcheroo with like the S2 and the Skyrocket bs.....
Would you guys wait for a quad LTE, as the Tegra 3 is has already been through ATT's test?
What do you guys think? Thanks!
NOTE....!
i will get a unbranded unlocked international version
Would love to, if I were due for an upgrade.
I've been thinking of getting the international version that has quad core...but idk, that would mean I would have to sell my infuse...which I really don't want to-i love my infuse lol...but the geeky tech side of me wants the latest and greatest even if the hardware can't be fully utilized lol
Anyways...the duo core coming for att is supposed to have 2gb of ram I believe, where the quad core only has 1gb...
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA
Why the international version? It has no LTE.... HSPA+ is slow enough on my Infuse.
By the way, Samsung already released the source code for the SGS3, so I mean AOSP is going to be on the US carrier phones pretty soon.
All of the phones coming to the US is 2GB's of RAM.
Infuse is a pretty good phone, but I like the new design with more rounded edges and the blue looks pretty hot....
Quad core with LTE is what I am thinking of waiting for but I wonder how far that is along?

Its basically the same phone as the SGS3, but pixel density is higher on the SGS3.... but that might be because of a smaller screen.... So basically the exact phone except with some software changes.....
Its the same?

the international version is tempting but the sgs1 is still badass imho. power isn't everything.. i'm keeping the infuse unless i break another one. then if i have the money it'll be the international sgs3 or if i dont ill get another infuse or captivate.

Hey, Dan.
Long time no see...Hope you're doing good.
hey infuse family !,
yah ya know, just thinkin' since that GSIII will only be sporting duals, id halfta deffinetly go with G-NOTE. If possible, i would overclock her duals to 2.0 ! (im guessing this may only be in my dreams), but if not maybe rock her out to 1.7, 1.9? really get in der and joust her jowls !! And then get that newer hacked/modified S-pen app ive been seein floatin round!! anyone see it? its like a crazy lil' miniature photoshop on the go! and oolala is that stylus like a samurai sword, so precise !! and um, yah !, that good dense pixel-populated screen is soo beautiful and crisp and fine, and the best part of it all is her size ! she's like a gargantuan plus-sized sexy momma, and i cant get enough, i even wish she was bigger cmon samsung give me a full figured 6 incher !! lol !!!
cheers brothers!
While we are on the subject which one the note or the gs3 and reasons why? From what I can tell the at&t versions will be pretty much the same specs but the notes bigger and bigger battery.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
Same specs as note... not true. The s3 has 2gb ram and the s4 which annihilates the s3 (note) and does better in tests then the tegra 3. Idk about the new exynos, but id be happy with the gs3 over the note sadly. Note 2 is going to be the best no doubt.
Btw here is att page on the gs3, click on learn more and there you have the major specs for you http://www.att.com/galaxysiii/?wtSlotClick=1-007JMY!903919-1-1&rel=nofollow#fbid=42LHi-vzBIX

My friend has an S3. He went over to his parent's house recently after his dad bought an iPhone5. They did some comparisons and then my friend laughed as his dad rather sullenly acknowledged that the S3 was easily the superior phone.
my impressions when comparing said phones
galaxy s=iphone 4
galaxy s2=iphone 5
galaxy s2sr=iphone 6?
small screens suck for a smartphone, apple should of went larger on their screens and to mention that we can mod the frack out of our phones.
people still cant believe how nice it is to view the browser on my sr w/the larger screen compared to their iphone 5, compare the 5 to the s3....fugetaboutit

Your just about spot on. I don't "hate" the iPhone, I just find that it is more of a child's toy than the rest. However back to the OP.
Keep the SR for now, wait until next quarter when "supposedly" the S IV is supposed to be released. However having both the S2 SR, and the S 3, I love the S 3 immensely over the SR.
xxsicknessxx--do you have an SR now, or the regular S2? If you have the regular S2, moving to the SR isn't worth it. If you already have the SR and are thinking of the S3, I would just wait and upgrade to an S4 when it comes out. In the meantime, root and flash a ROM on your phone. It will give your phone some new life, IMO. :good:
As for the iPhone 5, to each their own, but it would feel like a letdown for me if I were to move to that.
My gf S3 on stock ICS(haven't updated to JB as yet) is a bit laggy, but I have played with my friends S3 with a custom rom and it's definitely worth it. I personally would wait for the next waves of phone releases though. They are definitely worth the wait.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
That's why I was suggesting to root and flash a ROM, especially if that ROM is JB. My wife also has a SR, and after putting a ROM in mine (CM10 stable), has no lag, while hers feels sluggish with stock ICS. A wipe/factory reset might help hers a little, but seeing the TW skin and all the carrier bloat turns me off.
