You use the home button when you want to multi task, the back button is when you want to close apps.
Don't worry, the S series's home buttons don't wear of fast like the iphone, mainly cause you don't need to press it as often haha.

Actually, the 16gb version is already out in Dubai,
next week on the 28th will be out in the UK

Well just have to live with it I guess, pretty much most flagship devices from popular manufacturers are using micro-sim nowadays, it's inevitable.

Although there is no official definition on what phablet is, generally in the tech world, it is accepted that it's smaller than than most tablets being have to be smaller than 7" and bigger than 5". Something that is smaller than 5" like the S3 is not a phablet but is still a phone.

When asked whether the S3 will affect Note sales, Samsung said that the Note is in a totally different market than the S3 in which the S3 is a smartphone while the note is a niche market on it's own.

Well that's for you I guess.
For the average consumers and for Samsung, a lot of the stuff in the software are features.

Software.

Nope, it's cooked into the S3's ROM by samsung. You'll lose all this features if you flash a custom rom unless the rom has it as well.
Who knows if Samsung will implement it into the note in a future update but for now, no.

somebody on twitter ask them to ask about the availability of the 32gb version.

Come on please let the 32gb version be available straight away be true.

I don't want to think about stuff that samsung says will come "soon" but hopefully we'll get the rrp for the 32gb version.

damn I'm excited, I want the 32gb version and put a 64gb micro sdxc in it hahaha

Depends on the person, could be more than enough and could be not enough. Though for the average joe, more than enough haha.

hopefully that event on the 31st is for the SIII, though samsung would be damn trolls if it's for something else hahaha.

That was a response to the below statement haha, it's an aussie thing.

should really bring this discussion back to whirpool so people here won't get confused haha.

probably the same, probably perception caused by looking at the glossy white finish and the kinda metalic look of the blue one.

Do you mean the 32gb?
Well there's no use trying to import an LTE phone anyway. There's no guarantee the phone's LTE frequency will be the same as the LTE frequency that's going to be rolled out by Malaysian carriers.
In two years time LTE will still be maturing, even the current LTE still hasn't meet the original 4G standards, you could say it's 3.9G. Still a lot of space to go.
In the mean time, I don't know if this is available in Malaysia or not, but Dual-Cell HSPA is the limits of the old HSPA 3g tech though still extremely fast.

Problem with LTE 4G is that there's no standardization internationally. For now LTE radios eats up battery like nobody's business anyway though in Malaysia one would probably never turn it on.

The NTT Docomo version at least is a bit thicker as well so might not fit in some cases.

Actually, the S3 is not made out of plastic, it uses the same material as the One X

Though you can't really feel it since it's coated with Hyperglaze

not really, don't know about nokia but HTC might have used thicker polycarbonate or some other factor is that those manufacturers did not put a hyperglaze coating on the polycarbonate so you can feel the thing while you can't feel it on the S3.

Depends on what you think a premium phone should be like I guess.

Look at the korean version of the SIII

Though if you think about it, the 600k could be to fulfill the ones for countries like Malaysia etc. than that's a lot haha. They will probably priorities first world countries. The carriers there pay Samsung more Money haha.
