Well if it does get launched before June (which looks to be the case) I'm selling this phone and getting the international version. The 4G speeds don't matter to me since I never get over 8mbps anyway. I'd rather have the phone that gets updates right away and has better rom development.

This!

But it all depends on what its hardware is. Mainly the screen. Im not gonna preorder or get it right away, and Im on Telus which is CDMA so im not sure if i need to get it from them or just get a CDMA version?

Quite looking forward to it though. If it has a nice high density screen and no weird lines and stuff it may be worth it. I dont care about the quad core part since im barely using the full dual on this one lol.

That's the good stuff. I guess we should be getting ready for a US varrient in the next ~6 months.

This is utter BULLHONKY. I've had this phone since October and have been patiently waiting for ICS, and I swear that if Galaxy S III comes out before ICS for Galaxy S II I will DISOWN SAMSUNG and never buy a phone from them.

Then youre buying phones for the wrong reason.

Well actually the new version works on hspa+ (thank the processor) so I'm definitely going to sell, and buy an unlocked version.

? How so?
I don't just buy phones. I have ONE phone.
I use my phone for everyday life. Call, text, browse, entertainment, utilities, education. Try out diff ROMs and themes.. SOooooo.
That was just my anger towards SAMSUNG and not having ICS yet on my Galaxy S II.
Don't take it so personal

I don't think he's taking it personally, I think he is just saying that you shouldn't buy a phone for what is scheduled to come out for the phone, rather what is already on the phone in terms of software.

That's the same with the original it was with at&t HSPA +.
We might be in the same boat since tmobile uses 1700 and 2100 bands.

If this is the case. I wonder if it will be a hot seller like the GSII.

Beyondcr · Apr 18, 2012

I think they are bringing the sg3 out a bit soon they could have done more with the sg2

That human interaction thing looks like software. Think we may see that on out device? I doubt it would be that accurate though.

Yeah those things are usually gimmick first and functionality later.

I'm also thinking there is a lot of hype behind the device but really a 4.7 inch screen is going to be hard to handle. I like how the Galaxy nexus is longer than wider. Galaxy s II tend to be wide. The five row column tells me that this is going to be a huge phone. I may be wrong though.

It's hard not to use a scheduled OS update as a purchasing point when the carrier uses it as a selling point.

If this phone doesn't have a a15 processor and no sdcard slot I am getting a asus padfone. These specs are non negotiable for me.

Seeing as nobody has a working time machine, we'll just have to wait to find out. Usually most top end androids have a sd card slot, rumors are its going to have the new Exynos CPU, the quadcore one.

There is already a phone releasing with quadcore exynos. A9 is last year architecture.

Thank you.

As for skadude66 and iLeopard, I didn't buy the phone because of its scheduled update of ICS.

When I first walked in to T-Mobile I was going to buy the HTC Sensation until they told me that the GSII had came out that very day for them.
I bought the phone because of the specs and what it can do, as far as what I also needed it for. NOT for ICS.
ICS only came my priority since Samsung has taken a pretty long time to roll out their newest OS on their BEST PHONE. So it kinda becomes aggravating that their best phone doesn't even have it.
