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.

Galaxy S3 - sounds promising - IF.......

.... 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.

From S II to Nexus

What do you think ? Is it worth it to sell my S2 and buy a Nexus?

Nah. Wait till something better comes along, like the next nexus

I guess you want the nexus because it has jb right?
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..

If You are Developer - only Nexus

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!!

Trade?

do you think someone would trade a photon Q for a galaxy nexus?

At this point a photon Q is worth more then a galaxy nexus. I mean you can get a galaxy nexus for free on contract whie the photon Q the cheapest you can get is 100$ after 100$ amex card.

lol I don't blame you but lets look at it this way, peopleright now are within their 30 days. So they can go to a store and trade for a brand new nexus + cash any time. :/, maybe in a month or 2 it will be possible but unlikely at this point.

its not so much this phone is awesome etc its i loved my photon a lot, my gnexus is amazing. i just like to apply my efforts where there isnt much in the first place (you can google all my work on prepaid devices if you dont believe me ). infact myself and a few others have banded the Official Unloved Devices Hit Squad where we work on devices that tend to be overlooked

I would trade a Epic 4G Touch for one myself the Q sounds ok

Also unattractive cousin you want to throw in the basement. I mean what.

Although Android is on the climb, I agree that bragging now is a little premature. Anyone who is anyone knows the iPhone 5 is coming out most likely later this month. Very few people are buying the 4S knowing that. Bragging about a device that's only a few months old vs a phone most people know is done as the flagship for Apple this month is a little out there.

YEAHHHH!! Apple can kiss it!! Android and Samsung all the way baby!! Now to go and gloat about this to all these Apple suck ups.

Ive had 2 iPhones. But I will never ever support crapple in any way whatsoever. Unless the 5 gives daily bj's that is. Their BS lawsuits and cry baby tactics have lost me as a customer for life, no matter what they come our with
From the I-killer

I dislike apple like the rest of you but I don't see how this is possible. You want me to belive that the S3 has sold more devices than the 4S when the IP4S has been on the market 8 months longer?
Is the article misleading. Did Samsung sell more S3's from Launch till now than apple did during the same 2 months?
It doesn't add up. Just saying!

Easy tiger... this is what happens the month before a launch. People always hold off and other companies try to push their stuff out in the summer to lock in customers. I'm a big fan of the S3. Unfortunately most people are sheep when it comes to Apple.

I dont wanna be that guy that craps on everyones happy (because trust me I love this news) but is one possibility for this turn out because people are holding out on buying the IPhone in august because they know the 5 is coming out?

You guys do realize that no normal person with any common sense at all would buy an iPhone 4S right now with the new 5 coming out, right?
I hate to rain on your parade, but this is nothing to celebrate about.

We know this but no other phone has done this to crapple.so if this is short lived so what...we all know even with the iPhone 5 the S3 is still better.

The iphone 5 will not compare to the s3...crApple has fallen behind. Its now desperate measures for them, hince all the petty lawsuits.

Not really surprising
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

the Iphone 5 will be competing with the Galaxy note2 5.5" screen! We shall see....

Great news, and I agree... crapple has it's work cut out...

Samsung takes number one spot!
YEAHHHH! !Good news in August, the highest sales of Samsung

meh. Apple fans will tout the 5 as the best phone ever. It'll have a retina display, and just saying retina display is cool. I'm sure it'll be a great product with a bunch of cool features that are perfectly fine for the average user and it will win the ease of use battle. We'll see what the hardware is, but I'm guessing it'll be inferior to the S3 but good enough.
If for nothing else I hate Iphones for the control they have over what you do with YOUR phone. want to add software that's not approved by Apple? Sorry. Want to add a song that was emailed to you? Sorry. That list goes on & on. On the other hand I'll admit that they make a great product that is very user friendly. The IP5 will outsell the GS3 in the last quarter of this year, probably by a lot.
