No point buying SGS3 now since SGS4 is coming out in 6 months. Better to get a Lumia 920 or Xperia TX as its brand new.

        Google double standards and hypocrisy exposed by FOSS Patents:

        http://www.fosspatents.com/2012/09/if-google-can-cancel-acers-license-why.html?m=1

        Google threatened to cancel Acer's licence if they used a forked Android OS, but didn't mind if Amazon did the same with their kindle fire. Bullying tactics.

          Anonymous, 17 Sep 2012Thanks for the hits too L3inad, keep them coming. In the mean time, FASTEST SELLING PHONE EVER... more'Best selling' doesnt mean 'best handset'. It just means Apple are able to cover up their many, many drawbacks better than other companies like Samsung.


          People in the technology sphere will argue superiority, people outside it dont care and will have whatever they are force fed down their throats.


          If anything, all Apple have ever proved is they are kings of marketing. They dont even invent their own hardware.

              Buy what you like people. Don't bad mouth because there's no perfect phone for anyone. I have (pre-order) iphone5 but also have Xperia Ion and Xperia S that I am using now.

                So the A6 chip will be double the speed of the 4s and its a bigger screen. Still extremly dissapointed with this piece of junk. So what if its faster iphones are usually buttery smooth anyway theres no real way to notice the speed difference and the screen size is a little bit better cuz my 4s felt like a toy after a while but seriously apple? No widgets or new UI changes or anything?? Youve had about 10 years now of the same thing and its getting old. This isnt even worth it...

                          EVERY hands-on preview so far says that just holding the iPhone 5 leaves you with an incredible impression of quality. Now millions upon millions of people are about to experience that build quality. Plastic phones are going to just feel cheap.

                          At least Sony and Nokia use higher grade materials. Even HTC is using better grade material than Samsung.

                            personally id rather expert opinions like for instance.. gsma's.

                            Additionally while an iPhone 5 scores 1601 an S3 scores 1628, but if you were to use JB this jumps to 2052.


                            integer: iphone 1220 vs 1313 galaxy s3
                            floaing point: iphone 2051 vs 2355 galaxy s3

                            What is interesting is what happens in Jelly Bean.

                            integer: galaxy s3 ICS 1313 vs 1805 galaxy s3 JB
                            floaing point: iphone galaxy s3 ICS 2051 vs 3163 galaxy s3 JB

                            45% improvement just from an OS upgrade!

                              I bought the galaxy s3 over the 4S because It has a larger screen. But sometimes it lags a bit when playing gta3 and games with good graphics such as temple run. But when i saw the iphone 5 im definetly going to buy it and sell my s3. Its not that i dont like my s3 but i like gaming and i dont think the s3 has the potential for that. Also app store has much more better apps and games than android. I still like samsung but im shifting to iphone 5 hping that samsung makes a better phone by the way im not an android fan nor an apple fan

                                1. You do not like iPhone 5
                                2. You bash it constantly in the iPhone 5 comments section

                                So, my logical conclusion:

                                You are a troll.

                                Lolololol.

                                      its funny how some see me as an android fanboy/samsung fan... not at all.. ive owned sony,apple,samsung,lg,moto,htc,huawei.. etc etc.. android/wp/ios.. and im sure i will no doubt use not just the same brand again but the different operating systems again at some stage... but i want the best, period. and apparently the iphone5 is not it.
