Indeed, S2 was already enough to be called as symbian replacement, but it's still not as impressive as today's device (sgs3 or sgnote2). My sister had one sgs2 previously, and the battery performance is nightmare (and that's one factor i used to laugh at my sis and boast the efficiency of symbian to her LOL)
Yup, S2 has it's ups an down, I guess that was sort of like the beginning point, or turning point where it started to popular and S3 being very successful, in fact, it's very good. Many iPhone users actually switch to S3, I know some iPhone users which is very particular and supported Apple products all the while, they're impressed by the smoothness and speed, at the same time discovering what they have been missing out when they're been stuck inside Apple's small little world without those flexibilities, customizations, etc.

Samsung is taking android as if it's their own brewed OS, that's why they're so successful.. non-techy consumers wouldn't even know it's running the same core android as other phone manufacturers because it's too much of different, i had to salute them for putting so much of effort into that (but still boo for plasticky phone's built lolololol)
I think S3 felt much better build and solid than S2. I recall when I first carry S2, it felt really fragile, but S3 felt much more solid on hands.
And it's really light.

LOL so if you were to choose only one of them, which will you choose?
Between Note2 and S3?
I like the S-Pen, but I don't want such big phone, I think max for me will be 5".
Even the S3 felt big, but still OK. Just too bad the S3 can't utilize the S-Pen.

Actually WP7.5 is more restricted than ios but without the apps. There are also lot's of unnecessary restrictions. For example those who register their age as less than 18 in the setup are not allowed to download any apps, even free ones. Why I do not know. To my knowledge there are no content in the app store that <18 y.o. can't handle.
Those using prepaid have a problem with WP7.5 as it cannot handle USSD codes. Nokia support recommends that they swap their SIM to a dumb phone, perform USSD transactions and swap back to their not-so-smart Lumia.
The wi-fi disconnects when the phone sleeps so any background updates, notifications or instant messages will use 3G or stop working. Too bad if you don't have 3G and need push email
There are many, many other usability issues with WP7.5 which show that this OS is still very rough and jagged. WP8 may improve on it but it will still be playing catch up with Symbian, ios and Android. Although Microsoft promise that WP8 will be able to run WP7 apps this remains to be seen as there are major changes in OS kernel, programming language, processor architecture and resolution. Frankly I have my doubts as even minor upgrades of an OS can break some apps.
As for the Lumia 920 it will be priced higher than Galaxy S3 and just under an iphone 5. The 820 will be priced about the same as a Galaxy S3. Good luck to Nokia!
True, not to mention the Market have region control. I don't get the reasoning behind this. For some apps, maybe, but seems some common/basic apps also have region control, which is just plain stupid and they will some "smart" need people to maintain this. I guess they didn't have a default availability is available to all region?
