The way i read you comment is "WHAAAA, i can't get it so i don't like it!" Like a little child crying out for ice cream and when you finally get it being stubbourn and sayinh "NoooO!"
Grow up. Developers want to advance in their currect Flagship, so what? Why is that so hard to comprehend?

May be at the time they were creating the SGS III they did not have the 1.6 GHZ Quad that they have now. In Fact Samsung is doing justice to customer's who already have a S III by not launching the Docomo version worldwide.

Do you live in Japan, then congrats if you like the new specs. Otherwise, SGS3 i still the best, along Note 2. So there is no reason to be mad!

I think its good to make a few partial improvements within the life cycle before a major model change.

Every improvement in the model in Japan takes us a step closer to get it in the rest of the world. Before Xmas.. or after Xmas. Just wait and see...

Why blame them? 2GB of RAM and 1.6GHz might be a Apple patent, that side of the world.

> In reply to [deleted post]Market wise, then Japan is not Asia. Lots of phones sold in Japan has never been sold anywhere else, its a country with a lot of people who have a lot of money. Also for cars and whatever, Japan get slightly different models and many models for Japan market only. Because of language and so on, everything has been special made for japan, you cannot sell a phone with English menus there. Japan market is indeed very different from Asia.

Korea is also partly a different market for some products, and so is China. India belongs mostly to the Asian market, together with Philippines and so on, and quite right as you say, thats not the market that get all the goodies, if any at all..
