Yes, totally agree with you

Yup. On 2.3.3 Gingerbread stock ROM, mine non g S2 is really feel hot when playing HD games or using GPS apps like papago and sygic. But on 2.3.5 stock, the heat almost gone. and 2.3.5 give more battery friendly.

Yalor.. if they can give free extra warranty, many people will agree to go..

impossible they give free extra warranty
unless you buy from senheng @@

That's why they must give something, we no time to go SC just for upgrade ICS

no choice, if want ICS then only way to update it is go SC

Thanks for the info!

Added on May 23, 2012, 5:23 pmThanks alot! Does that mean the price of the international version will be more expensive? So in that case, we should get the phone as soon as possible after its launch, so that we won't get the other version in the future?

many thanks

get the one withOUT the G

They cost the same in terms of the retail price suggested by Samsung, what shops charge is of course depending on the owner.
Last year with the S2, the I9100 was launched first here in Malaysia, that's the international HSPA+ version of the S2, then Samsung Malaysia quietly stopped shipping that stock to stores and sent the I9100G instead which had a different dual core processor clocked at the same speed claiming it won't affect anything but that is of course not true.

I foresee something of the same nature might happen again this year with the S3. So unless your willing to take the risk, you'd better buy the phone as soon as you can if you want it to void such a situation. Your only choice if that happens is to import it yourself or look for shops selling grey import or buy second hand if you want the normal version. Of course pay attention to the box and model number when you buy them.

Should be no price difference but it is up to seller. You should get the phone as soon as it is start selling but try not too hurry. Make sure you check everything before buy. Model number, warranty card and period , receipt, SME or AP set, free gift etc.
If S3 follow S2 trend, first S2 non g model selling is international version, around 2k+, then three months later, g version come in with price RM1899.

maybe, since now non G version expensive than G version (correct me if I'am wrong)
furthermore, yes get the phone ASAP so that it won't repeat the same case as s2

and don't worry so much, just wait it release and see what the model number

Roughly how long was it before the non Gs went out of stock? Hope I can make it back in time!
Why must there be another variant!!!

they ran out of exynos

I'm not very sure,can't remember accurately, it was a while down the road I think a month or two after launch.

Well not ran out,
basically they had a shortage of their exynos SOC and decided to buy some other SOC to use instead and choose countries like Malaysia among others to supply the G version to. Samsung still continues to supply the standard I9100 version to some first world countries even now, just Samsung Malaysia don't get any anymore.

then they will replace with what procs..?

because samsung ran out of stock for exynos

normally use qualcomm snapdragon or TI OMAP

Hopefully there's enough time!
Will only be back by the end of June or early July! Wait for me!!!

LOL
why you guys so worry about it ???
just wait the time goes on then everything will solve, now talk here also can't do anything

No updates? Don worry, update yourself!! It's easy Head over to SII's thread to find out.
And I think Samsung will update for you if you bring your phone to them

Excuse me, can I ask why do we need to go SC just to update our phones?
