Samsung Galaxy S III?
Comments
Why do people like white? It's so bland we might as well go back to biege.
Black shows character more like colours whereas white is just so lacking.
Edit: I agree with the issues with contour. I really liked the move from iphone 3 to iphone 4 cause the shape became firmer

There wasn't any wow features. Who wants to watch a video on their phone while sending a text message? C'mon. I already send text messages now while watching a movie on a tv.
They needed the following features to stand out
1) Quick charge feature. Reach 100 % in 20 mins?
2) Quad core processors that's supports LTE
3) Better design and use materials that feel better
4) Swiping the screen will let you do various actions that you can record and save. Lets you do complex actions such as open a web app and log you in.Maybe even making the back cover work like a solar panel?

well compared to the one x it has
1) significantly better (2100mAH vs 1800mAH) and replaceable battery
2) expandable memory
3) smarter software: s voice, social tag , smart alert, s beam etc etc
all this makes it easily it easily worth $100 more than the HTC if not $150
and prices will go down; was only released yesterday.
just my 2c
True. I said that it's awesome, but at this stage I would not pay $150 more than HTC One X. Your (1) and (2) did not concern certain fruit-branded users either. On the other hand, HTC One X has
- Super LCD
- f/2.0 lens
- 130g vs. 133g
- 32GB internal memory (vs 16GB for SGS3 base model)
- Sense 4.0
I agree that the price will drop (and will NEED to drop) pretty soon after it's released. Just look at Galaxy Nexus…
My Nexus One was 2yo and Nokia E71 was 3.5yo when they retired, both on original battery and no significant reduction of battery life. iPhones don't have replaceable batteries and many Android tablets don't have user replaceable batteries either.
But as @auna has said, at the rate Android phones are evolving, you would definitely want upgrade after 2 years.
I find it interesting that the E71 had Firmware updates for so long (Last one was March 2011 apparently). The battery appears to be quite large for the display size etc.
Even more interesting is that the successor (the E72) had firmware updates ending at a very similar time.
Now you would be lucky to get a year and a half of updates.
Go the E71! I stuck with that phone for about 2 years before retiring it in favor of a Garmin Nuviphone.
I agree with the removable battery bit. Hi spec Android phones typically go through more charge/recharge cycles than any others and if you're a heavy user you'd probably wear down the battery very quickly. Also, if you're travelling overseas its sometimes a little hard to find a place to stop and charge your phone — with spare batteries you can pop in a fresh one and keep talking.
I've actually worn down one of my SGS2 Anker batteries already. Onto the 2nd one now.

Happy with the specs, but prefer the looks of the S2.
