My S2 is looking redundant already..

The S3 looks like a winner to me.
The biggest asset from what I can see is the bigger battery.

Going from a 1650 mAh to a 2100 is good..why?
Because the battery life of my S2 with ICS is, well honestly... shyte!!!

The new look brushed metal thingy on the new S3 is a bit sexy

I can see it now..handball the S2 to a friend or family member that has no idea then get me a new S3 of ebay....Sweeeeet maaaate

 

[korgmeister]

I really hope this is a pisstake post BUUUTTTT...In case it's not.....

Yes Samsung does support Android as does pretty much everyone except Apple and Microsoft. That would be Samsung , LG, HTC etc, etc.

And yes, there are a number of irc clients availabe on Google Play (thats the same thing as the Apple iStore)

You should see some of the other s**t he's asked

Anyone had issues with the S2 after the updated with emails not syncing ?

 

[wormburner67]

9 million pre orders so far.....WOW!!

A great testament to a great phone.It's moving up to a 4.8 screen which is...well...big!!??

When I got my S2 I thought that would be the upper limit in screen size but I'm kinda thinking I might just go for the extra real estate with the S3.

I really like the look of it.

Not sure how to interpret what you've said, maybe you just said it badly or ambiguously. Microsoft doesn't do hardware as I'm sure you know, so saying Microsoft doesn't support Android doesn't make sense.

What about microsoft phones then?

What about microsoft phones then?

Poorly named (Microsoft) Windows Phone is the system software aka the operating system. Here is a list of Windows Phone devices which includes hardware manufacturers such as Samsung, Nokia and HTC.

I see, so they only make the software and outsource the hardware.

 

[red+black]

That's right. Apple for example do both hardware and system software. Palm Inc also used to do both.

I think we may be cross mojonating here a bit so I will try to clarify R&B...

Android is an operating system which classifies it as software.

That said, I wrote "Yes Samsung does support Android as does pretty much everyone except Apple and Microsoft. That would be Samsung , LG, HTC etc, etc." which I meant as, Samsung as well a a lot of other vendors are using Android software on their hardware.

I'm not sure where the inference of Microsoft hardware comes into it??

If anyone was considering getting an S2, tomorrow it is selling for just $394 (unlocked) at Harvey Norman.

[red+black]

Post a link in 2 weeks then

 

[Borgsta]

Isn't it already $420 or so from Kogan?

 

[Mingo]

Aren't Kogan supposed to be the master of all prices? $439 plus shipping? Can't even beat a bricks and mortar store with overheads and actual staff. Tsk tsk...

 

[Borgsta]

Can't beat a 1 day sale by a brick and mortar store more like it.

Price has gone up recently

Already ordered mine online. Decided to wait the extra and get the blue over the white, even though the white looks good. Blue looks very stylin'.
