.... 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.

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?

Then why bring it up?
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.
Wanna get your name all over the news? 15 minutes of fame? Post some pics/video. You'll make every evening news in the country.

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.

Hope the link works. In before this is old news noob search first.
Tldr: android holds 51% of all smart phones in use. Apple 30%

I feel like this 'majority' share type story has been published over and over.
Also one company with 30% of market share probably is > than many companies with 51%. Maybe a big one like Samsung has 30% of that 51%?

If other companies were allowed to release ios devices I dony doubt the number being higher. I guess iPhone users were going around saying iPhone has sold more numbers and theres more iPhones being used than and how android has slowed down in sales due to the new iPhone.
It was more an article that says android is more popular than iPhone in terms of the number of users than anything.

Its because android runs on so many price brackets its available to everyone from low end to way above anything iPhone could ever be android is a platform for everyone and I love it that way

Lots of different stories on this today, but beyond the Android dominance is Samsung kicking ass in general.
"Samsung now sells one in four US smart phones" : http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2012/05/02/prweb9467359.DTL
Not far behind Apple, and when you factor in that at least 26% of the parts used in making iPhones are made by Samsung, guess who's really at the top...
Love Sammy. May the ass kicking continue!

How the world turns. I remember when i see samsung products at kmart as the el cheapo brand 15 years ago. And now they are bigger than Sony.

true all true. If you look at the big picture, iPhone has integrated most media devices to work cohesively, syncing all with that wretched iTunes. Samsung has gone a drop further and integrated Android or Android compatible software into everything they sell: washer/dryer, fridge, camera, windows (the kind you look through), phones, tablets, printers, etc. Samsung wants to be a powerhouse, quite literally. I really do think this step is a well thought out program.

Man, I hate itunes! Worst thing, ever!

Apple is doing great business. Brainwash users to believe that cheaper smaller screens is what they want and that they should pay a premium price. And that not having Flash, external memory card slot is something in their best interest. Never mind the fact that people still use flash on their computer browsers on the average a dozen times a day. And if they had a memory card slot, they would probably have a memory card in there. Point out something Apple is doing to rip off their customers, and the customers who are being taken advantage of are on the side of Apple.
How hard can Apple squeeze the teets of their users until they say uncle?

Actually I gotta thank apple for not including flash. It really is finally dying to html5 and that is a GREAT thing. I don't think people realize how many flash like elements are not actually flash anymore. HTML5 is all over the place now. Apple and facebook have been the main reason for flash to die
I do find it funny that most of your issues with iPhones are now the "big thing" with newer androids.

I have read this week that apple sold 35 million phone in Q1 2012 and samsung 41 million in Q1 2012.
Ok samsung has tons of different phone but they still kicking ass right now. And when the S3 come out sale will probably explode... same thing for the next iphone ... lets see how it goes.

Apple is 1 company, android is a ****load of companies, realistically they should be doing better than one company anyways.
What we need is a good profit graph that shows what platform is actually generating money because that's the one which will be around the longest.

Maybe you mean iOS versus android. But to compare HTC Samsung, Motorola, lg, etc, I think all those companies combined will outweigh apple in sales dramatically. So how do you really measure apple versus android in sales?

Percentage of retention would probably be the most accurate mark of who is doing best. How many Droid users stay on Droid and how many switch to iPhone. And same on the other side. Higher retention is really who is winning. I know about a year and a half ago an article I read said at the time apple had a higher rentention than Droid.

It kinda sucks how much they're undercutting their iPhone 4 buyers. No siri AND NOW no navigation.
I mean, we usually don't get updates at all, but most of these features were already available on froyo and gingerbread.

For Apple, it's just not labeled fragmentation. Simply giving out watered down "updates" instead is ok
At least if/when we get a new OS to install we get all the features working. Not some half assed update like Apple is pushing out
And then people wonder why I'm an Android fanboy. How Apple does things and still makes serious $$$ is completely beyond me. And I find it outrageous that people still prefer them when android is CLEARLY better

You never have to pay, not at all. That's the whole flow of Jailbreaking. Even the webhost is a 100% free, with no Ads host. If I ever had to pay to Jailbreak I knew it was 100% BS. Some claimed to have the latest JB, but it wouldn't be a "Jailbreak". Either a ****lyfft instal of Cydia, with no substrate add on's. Or it'd be a waiting list thing for an available "JB server". Then you'd just wait until the JB team released it, and the server would "Open". Paying 50+ bucks for freeware.
Also, iPhone 4s 5.1.1 has an Untethered Jailbreak. It just came out, I still think only the 1st gen iPad has a Jailbreak too.

"People" (the dumb 70-80% of population) don't want better, they want WHAT THEY SEE ON TV (aka what they have been brainwashed to buy).
Better advertised devices always sell better. It has been proven long time ago before tv existed.
An observation we have "conducted" not long ago in my personal circle of friends and coworkers:
none of those who don't watch TV have any iCrap, while about half of those who watch TV regularily have chosen iFail and other crApple products.

They are currently under contract but when that contract is up I would tell Apple to piss off. The chips account for 9 percent of Samsungs sales....personally I think that is worth losing when you get to watch Apple use inferior chips that piss their customers off and cost them sales.

There will be an appeal... this isn't over.

Love how they lost the bounce back patent one. As if my old EnV touch didn't have that...

Means nothing awarding a fine, samsung will appeal, it reach the courts in 2 years and by then apple will be in the exact same position as rim going going gone, f u crapple icrap

The money is nothing, this is going to change the design of every Samsung and possible Android product. The money is the smallest part. They were found to be infringing on every patent contested, while Apple was guilty of none.
It doesn't matter if they appeal, everything went as bad as possible for Android today and Samsung's statement reflected that.
The game is now changed. This is going to reverberate very loudly and badly through a lot of areas we aren't even ready to consider yet.

So we talked about how each of our respective phones was better. We ended by me betting that my S3 will last longer than his iPhone 5 in terms of who will get updates the longest. Whoever won would pay the next upgrade...and I'm pretty sure that I won't have $200 to spare two years from now.
My main question is whether or not you think I made a pretty good bet or not. I hope I did Thoughts?

You realize this is not a Nexus, right?

I don't think that was a safe bet. The iphones have a great track record of getting updates compared to Samsungs and even androids in general, IMO.

I didn't mention officially or not lol

You should probably think a bit more carefully about your finances if you can't have an extra 200 dollars in two years.

Good thing you'll have 6 months between when they cut you off from updates at around 18 months and the end of your contract at 24. It'll give you time to come up with 400 bucks. 200 for your next phone (min.) and 200 for his.
No matter how good devs are..... at the rate things change with Android, even if you get a port of whatever OS Android uses at the time, I bet it won't have all the features, have glitches due to hardware limitations or unavailable drivers for months.
May I suggest marry rich or perhaps a second job?

Your best shots are
A) Hope your friend doesn't know better that you are flashing ROMS
B) Don't be friends in 2 years, the time honored way of escaping serious long term bets

From prior experience most droid only get updated for about a year then start to fall off think you may have made a boo boo on this one

Don't worry get the s4 and he went even know. After all he is an iphone user.
On a different Note is that all you two could come with? How long you would get updates?

Remember that the ancient iPhone 3g is still running the newest updates

the most retarded bet ever imo...the ibone obviously will get more updates, refer to what heshmonster said. apple only has 5 devices to release updates for in 5yrs time. Android has hundreds...dont take this the wrong way but android devices are like disposable cameras, once the film runs out they are trash. that being said i still will never get a iphone!

he can always hope Samsung finally wins a lawsuit and all the iphones get banned!
He can also hope for world peace though, just sayin'

Well, 6, but who's counting?

Ya you lost that bet. Might as well pay now. He was a smart cookie for taking that bet though.

The bet seems too vague considering that both devices can be flashed with hacked up firmware.
On the one side, I kept my original Moto Droid from the day it launched to the day I got my SGS3 preorder in the mail.
This is while I watched many colleagues go through many iterations of the iphone, each time buying an entirely new device.
The original Moto Droid actually just got JellyBean, and I know the original iphone can not even kind of run iOS 4, much less iOS 6.
If anything the iphone is the disposable camera in this scenario. Ever try to get anything above iOS 3 on a second generation iPod touch and you will know what I mean.
Back on topic though, the bet will not have a clear winner in 2 years. Try 4 years and you will see which device has the most longevity.

I can imagine in the heat of the moment, we like to think that products like ours (with a popular modding community behind it) gives it a longer life span since modders will typically add new features from other phones to this one.

Horrible bet.
