hmm are you sure One X same material as SIII ? One X is in Matte scratch resistant rubber i think . while i don't think SIII cover is made in matte material .

Yeah , S3 also can take photo while recording .

i understand what u saying.

for certain things it depends on developer. if developer gatal put a text as picture, then too bad. but my question is why is there so many instances the developer don't allow us to copy text. is quite prevalent in 3rd party apps. for example. in youtube.com for pc the text that people write are all copy-able. but in the youtube app in android, it is not. wtf? where is the quality control here.

for certain things maybe is the OS itself. this one i not sure.

Are you using a grey One X? They both uses the same material - polycarbonate. The glossy look on SIII is due to "hyperglaze" finishing which Samsung claims is scratch resistant as well

As far as I understand, this should be the app itself. Maybe they have a different approach to mobile and pc

yeah grey one X , but still i don't think it's in same material .
Maybe have to wait until i hold the S3 only know . as now im comparing with my Note and Hox

chill out la on design and material issues. design and material are all opinions ,so u will never get consensus even after the cows come home for the 5th time.

for me plastic is good, coz it is lighter. i put in my pocket all day, i don't want it to be heavier then my balls right? anyway who cares when i'll be wrapping it up with some condom or leather casing. i never seen many people with smartphones don't have some kind of protection.

Grey One X is different, there's a layer of rubber coating on top of its polycarbonate. White One X doesn't have the layer though

Actually we're not arguing which is better, I'm just trying to present the correct info on SIII which most people overlooked

i prefer my phone to be naked.screw those hard and soft casing.put on screen protector and ready to go.

will be getting white but not sure how easy it will get dirty

Heavy balls huh

But yeah, like hihihehe, I'm those rare few who prefers the phone naked. Doesn't jive in my head to protect something I'll never see, due to the protection

The phone is glossy surface. So I believe it won't get dirty as easy as matte surface.

i hope it is(as long as it doesn't attract dust or sticky as i always put on the dusty table)

anyway. a nice verdict here:

Unfortunately , I will not be using any kind of casing~ kind of anti-casing guy

Even screen protector bothers me a lot

That's probably the reason HTC goes rubber with the grey One X. Maybe the blue SIII will attract more fingerprints

Just sharing

... give it another name, and all iFans would think that this is Apple's innovation, not available on competitions

Both glossy and matte surface has their own pros and cos. Glossy won't get dirty easily but is prone to scratches and is a super finger print magnets. Matte surface is finger print and scratch resistance but easily get dirty. Luckily the material for white HOX is good where you can just wipe the stain off easily. Like how XPS does.

Most probably they will as Samsung stole Siri

Can't wait to touch a real SIII to see how scratch resistant the hyperglaze is

Glossy can't be used in direct sunlight easily, got reflection etc
Matte is good in that thing but due to Matte the color looks not the same

I can only speak from Windows application program point of view as I code programs in Windows environment. There's always a dilemma in finishing a program quick or giving more features to users with the compromise of extra time, probable bugs and other complications.

Anyway, I have no complains so far, just accept it as it is. Even Talk doesn't allow us to copy the text conversation. Press and hold, nothing happens.

There's still way to copy the text using Object Inspector tools in Windows, but it's extra steps and trouble to just get the text. It's quite similar to the Accessibility Read-Aloud function provided in Android, if you know what I mean.

Just take my advice, don't hold your breath on it.

Added on May 7, 2012, 12:53 pmHOX supporters probably gonna flame me, but the kind of rubbery finish, you get that a lot on Microsoft mice.

after 1/2 year or longer, you'll know what happen la next.

The reason why I never chose the black Tab10.1.

Most users will use a case anyway even if it's scratch resistant
