I love my Galaxy S3, but I have to say that it's really frustrating having to wait and not knowing when exactly the official JB update will be available internationally. It's a very silly strategy to just keep people waiting. I've heard good reports about the JB being much faster and smoother, which is all I'm looking for and that's just what is calming my annoyance.

Now, on to the issue of people saying that the WP8 UI is boring. I TOTALLY DISAGREE. I think the WP8 UI is really beautiful and with a well marketed device from Samsung, I believe that sales will be really good. I'm really looking forward to Samsung (or Nokia) making a WP8 Phablet. I love the screen size of the Galaxy Note/Note II but with my SGSIII, I have all the goodness that Android has to offer. But being a "gadget whore", I'd love to try out a fresh new OS.

Not interested in Apple though. They suck!!!!!!!!!!

But I highly doubt the GS2 will see the update this side of Christmas regardless of what Samsung say.

But then I also doubt we'll see the 4.1 update for the i9300 before the i9305 is launched.

> In reply to [deleted post]Actually he's right in the way. JB compensate lag by taxing more on the GPU. Where's everyone saying it will totally boost performance? From it appears, it didn't do anything or maybe made it worst by constantly eating more resources. Looks like this was a backward a$$ way to compromise a.k.a project stutter.
