Lol samsung just cares about their international market, and tells us to go to hell. I don't think they will confirm the s3 getting 5.0 just so we can buy the s4 they probably see us as idiots who buy everything new . if they do it will be really late confirming.

Hey,

Samsung keeps talking about how the experience is more important than the software, just think that regardless if it's never updated again that Samsung was right about the software not being important..

To them....

Blame it on the carrier, not SS in this case. If you like updates, buy international version.

Isn't that how it always works? Some new device gets released and the us market has to buy that in order to ge the newest os. Such as the list stated above is all international

I used to think it rocked! But as you can see, I already got off the Apple cart that I was on since 2007. Yep, Apple could do no wrong until I got a Nexus 7 tablet. Once exposed to the virus that is Android, my Apple immune system was compromised and I've now got the Android fever...
Same here...I was on the apple bandwagon then switched to android (mytouch 3g) then went back to the iPhone...then went to the mytouch 3g slide, I was ready to switch back but I came across this wonderful forum and never looked back.

Samsung doesn't release updates frequently because of the hardware differences in the US versions... so we only get major updates.

EDIT: I would be severely surprised if the GS III US variants don't get 5.0

That is kinda true And absolutely true of other cell makers like HTC, MOTO, LG and so on. But Samsung started with the s3 and took the note2 a step further. They basically said the hell with this and The note 2 is the same phone international or us. The only real difference is software. Of course there is the gsm and cdma variants but other than that once the international one gets 5.0 the us one can get it very easily. I think it will be the same with this phone. As long as the international one gets it we will. And it wont take as long. Now that's not to say Samsung or tmo will do it but CM will definitely do it. Especially since I think he is the proud owner of a tmo sgs3 I think. So rest assured you will see 5.0 and probably more on this device.

I think the direction that Samsung is trying to go is a good one and I hope that others will soon follow. To the point where there will be two different models the gsm\lte and the cdma\lte US world wide doesn't matter Just the carriers bloat. Even nicer would be if Google could some how stop the fragmentation and get all to produce vanilla android. Now that's probably a few years off yet if at all but it would be great. No more waiting for carriers to get the updates and all that. Just Google updates android and sends it out to all capable handsets done. Paradise.

True problem is I don't think Google cares much about how slow other carriers/manufacturers get update hence why they are always releasing new updqte every so often. The biggest advantage buying a phone from Google is that they obviously get everything first and sooner, they know that. Also I'm not sure how easily well get 5.0 ported from international rom from what I have read we can't really port their ROMs etc as they are really different inside . different processor, partitions, gpu that's why you can't flash international ROMs unless you want a brick, we'll get some unofficial ROMs but those are never as stable as when you build straight from source.
