Ah I think I'll be happy enough with the one x! I'll come up with ways to hide my potential jealousy over the next few months :P

Challenge accepted! (assuming i don't get a one x too)

Sorry if this is off topic...

Hoping to get a second hand SII this week, budget of 300. When the SIII specs are out do you think the SII price will plummet in second hand market? If so would it be straight away or only when SIII is actually released (presume that will be a few months)

Will probably just go ahead and get the SII unless there'd be a significant saving in the next month.

cheers!

Prices only drop, in ANY market, if there is a lack of demand. There is no lack of demand for SGS2's. Don't expect any price decrease any time soon.

There are some rhumors that this will not be the S3, but the S2s or similar - just some minor improvements on the S2. That would be a huge disappointment and HTC would wipe them if it was. As tempted as I am to see it, waiting a few weeks for the launch and then possibly many many more for launch, I don't think I can wait that long for a phone that *may* be marginally better than the HTC. Having had 2x HTC's now and I do actually like sense, its not really worth me holding out.

Highly doubt Samsung would waste money with an announcement of an SGS II S, especially at this stage of the game where the One X has been released.

I thought the screen size of the S2 to be as big as possibly needed for a phone. I think going bigger with the screen size isnt a good thing.

I expect they will launch a range of Galaxy phones which is why they didnt specify what they were bringing out... mayhaps they will be doing:

GS III X
GS III V

Like HTC? :P

Just a lil, didn't backtrack the last few pages. Good news though, utter silence was starting to get ridiculous.

I remember reading this yesterday. Given all the rumours didn't pay much heed but how close to the truth was if (if this turns out to be the galaxy s3)

That's it for sure, god it's Fugly, shame. Looks like it just has an 8mp snapper with a **** lense, HTC One X or SGS3, decisions decisions.

WolfForager

Well, if that's it then I shall suffer no buyers remorse over my One X anyway.

The Verge is implying that the outer shell will be different at launch and that the camera spec might be bumped up too.

Ya I can wait until the 3rd to find out the real deal, not exactly a long wait.

Always been with HTC but that could be a deal breaker.

Zascar

Me too, I'd have to see the real life performance first though. If it was considerably better I'd go for it. However, the camera on the HTC One X is fantastic - I hope this can compare. If it was just a standard 8mp with none of the fancy things or better "f" and low light capability - I would be disappointed .

I'm pretty sure Meteor have dropped the price of the S2 very recently (on bill pay)..can now be had for 99 Euro on a 40 Euro PM contract.

I've decided on a Galaxy Note..not as big as I imagined..had a look yesterday and although my mate found it big, I have big hands and can get away with one handed texting etc so decision made..anyone thing the price will drop on the first of next month!? Anyone know when it gets ICS from Meteor?

You do know you can buy an official 2000mAh battery for the SGS2 right?

Zascar

Sure, but I'm deliberating between the HTC One X and the S3 - not the S2. I'm ready to go on the One X I think its great but I'm concerned about the battery life, and its not replaceable. I've had 2 phones with crap battery now I'm not sure I can stand another.

Yup, if you are still deliberating, wait it out for the two weeks. It's not that long.

Zascar

Yeah I think I will. The only question is how long after the release will they be in the shops??

I hear they want to move fast so Id guess they will be in the shops by Mid to late June.

god's toy

Looks to be a small bump this time round, 4s anyone?

Still when quad core gets fully supported in Android I'm sure we will see the benefits.
Would have liked at least 1.5 cpu 2gb ram and a 2500 battery

Zascar

If it's mid-late june I don't think I want to wait that long..
