Rumors on this site and others said dual-core in the US, quad-core everywhere else. Guess that is no longer the case?

"Designed for humans" - Whoa that's true innovation! I never understood why all other companies kept designing phones with whales and meerkats in mind.

I wouldn't say most are gimmicks. Siri/S voice most definitely is. Sharting a 1 GB file in a minute's matter via S Beam surely isn't, eye tracking could be really useful when reading. I thought the notification vibrations are nice, especially if the status bar is full, at least you'll bother checking them out. Anywho, I don't care as I'm good for at least a year before I upgrade, but to me the phone is a worthy successor to the S2.

EDIT: just saw that SIII owners get 50 GB of Dropbox storage. That alone is a killer feature.


i have 50 gigs of dropbox storage so dont need more

Those of you who watched the live stream: Am I the only one who thinks the keynote was really bizarre, and who expected the woman from Apple's '1984' spot to come out and throw a hammer at the screen?

Good for you, buddy! (Y)

Meanwhile, if you're a Dropbox user and are thinking about upgrading your account, you get two years worth of 50GB, which is $200. $200 is most likely what this will cost on contract. Which makes the phone an amazing buy from the start.

4.8 in screen? Tone it down Samsung. This alone would make me not get the phone. Pretty soon we will need bags to carry around our phones...sound familiar?? I thought my GNEX 4.65 in screen was big and it took a little to get used to over my 4in Vibrant. Main reason I got the GNEX is because of pure Google OS and I never really cared for TW.
