Re: Samsung Galaxy S3,the King of Smartphone in 2012?!?!

After a disaster of an upgrade experience I have picked up a Tmo T989 Galaxy SII. The 4.5" screen is great but it chews battery pretty bad. I had played around with NITDROID some on the N900 but nothing like a top of the line Android phone. Most of the homescreen goodies I had on my N900 with the flash I was hoping to see in Harmattan on the N950. I haven't rooted yet but am inclined for a vanilla non-Touchwiz experience.

I'm a belt-poucher so the size doesn't bother me one bit, just like the N900 didn't. I would gladly take a screen the size of the T989 with the bulk of the N900 if they could put an E7/N97-style qwerty and the N8's camera and flash in there.

The biggest thing I miss the most from the N900 is the notification LED. Only phone that has that is the Galaxy Nexus and has three major problems for me: 1) no microSD (I like the cloud as an option, but want is a supplement to built in storage), 2) camera retrograde, 3) Verizon only - hate the company even more than the hell-spawned alias of Cingular.

I still vainly hope that Elop will get tossed and/or decide to do another Maemo/Meego 'experiment' with a production N960 or N990 or something like that instead of hitching their whole future on WP7. N9/N950 as it with the degrading of the home screen situation is definitely not the way, though.

In the meantime, though I expect the GS3 to fill out the GS2 form factor, go to ICS with TouchWiz 4 while retaining microSD and an 8-12mp camera. Quad core sounds likely but I expect RAM to stay around 1GB for now. I also expect the notification light to stay.

I really wish someone on the Android side would put a physical qwerty on a phone. Like the cloud, I like touchscreen as a supplemental UI but prefer the tactile experience of a physical keyboard for messaging and emails.

after a long research about GALAXY SIII i accidentally found this

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3,the King of Smartphone in 2012?!?!

Just had some hands on time with a S3 and dared to immediately compare it to my N9. Surprise, surprise, N9 was only slower by 3-5 seconds when rendering a website. Tested many sites, and that was a constant. Resolution is nice, and the screen size, but portability is out of the question. Galaxy S3 is more like a tablet considering the size, which means a two handed device, unlike the N9 and also the quality is pretty poor; if I press a bit harder, it might break. Quite happier that I bought my N9 after today :)
