Most of us here in lyn, yeah sure. But not even all.

Still, there's a large market out there that don't either root or jb, and manufacturers are going after such ppl. And they do make up proly a larger market than us

i like to be extra ordinary.. so root or JB the phone.. lol.... i like to have custom to my usage...

If the custom roms are based on stock Samsung roms, the features will still be intact. Unless Samsung decided to stop updating the phone after 2/3 years then users will need to flash AOSP roms. By then Android will be much more feature packed

honestly how many people out there use voice control? as in normal usage, like on the streets. IMO it looks pretty dumb for me. haven't spot any1 doing that yet

if lets say you're driving then its fine

Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III Battery Life Test - by GSMArena

I wonder if there's any local website getting the luxury of previewing the S3 like what GSMArena, Phonearena, CNET, etc..

True. Maybe it's only during driving/cooking or when we have our hands full. But during normal usage, our hands can be much faster than voice control

It's like what ppl say about wireless charging, seems to be useful, seems not.. Anyway manufacturers have to take the step regardless. These will certainly be improved in the future.
For wireless charging, wifi charging hotspots will be the future, but for voice control, I'm not sure how will it be in the future. Some ideas people?

a feature that i will really appreciate will full pledge driving mode, including a lot of easy to use during driving.
GPS, Video, Music, Calls, IM/SMS easy to reach/open/close, imagine this reducing traffic accidents.

I remember got phone have this mode, cant remember which 1 tho.

the future for voice control, much dumb and anti social people around us. imagine people talking to their phone only

anyway since voice control nowadays basicly communicates to a server to return result, it ain't really "intelligent" yet. need to wait till A.I is a reality

Yeah, I still prefer to talk to human, unless voice control has reached the stage like Iron Man's Jarvis

IIRC, these arent fully voice command?
Dont have these phone, correct me if im wrong.

owh u mean driving mode with voice control. then i no idea which phone is that. probably is fruit brand because i once saw that if you connect iphone to your car via bluetooth, siri will work as well

this is HTC's car mode

So a turd is still beautiful by your logic.

Well, if it's already "beautiful" by your definition, there are lots of other better-designed ICS phones out there.

btw, I'd say that this year Samsung disappoints lots of their fans. Me included.

hmm he's right by the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". You may don't like this phone but someone somewhere appreciated what Samsung did here.

If a turd by your logic is like rectangular shaped phone like the fruit, yes..millions will call it beautiful.
And yes your opinion is invalid since the sgs3 will still be sold millions. Ppl dont buy phone just coz of the looks.

from what i see, the real feel is different from the pics

many ppl says that it a failure in terms of design, but i say that we cannot make any real judgement till we really feel and touch it

any real firm date of release other than the ones speculated?

thanks

so, u saw the real thing?

or ur decision of beautiful or not come from simply looking at the images?

like cars, some cars not necessarily look nicer in pictures as compared in real. sorta like non-photogenic.

n besides, most of the better-designed ICS phones out there dont have half of what s3 has there.

please ignore those that are starting bashing or flaming, or you will also be ban/warning

Ey…anyone got any insider info when the phone will arrive? Wanna test it out. Time for a new phone - my iphone is almost dead!

its dumb because tak biasa. like when u have your new s3 later, surely u feel malu tu showoff at first. but once u use to it its not so malu. same with voice. its dumb to be talking to your phone coz normally voice is only for humans. but once society accepts u talking to your phone, then peduli apa. voice is the next revolution. remember u heard it from me first.
