haven't seen much talk on samsung galaxy s II

http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/28/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-review/
looks like quite a phone! i've had it out against samsung since i first bought the samsung moment for my wife and i (and had both of them swapped 3 times because of random data disconnections and no gps locks), but perhaps they've changed. what are your thoughts?

Because we talk about the EVO here.

do we know for sure this is coming to sprint? if so id say a fall launch date. ill pick one up if it does in fact come.

Haven't heard anything about this coming to Sprint.
And it does look like a beast of a phone.

I don't like the 'home' button. And wasn't this the one to kick off the lawsuit? I see it ... the similarities, if you will, but I meant more as a whole. This phone is supposed to pack a punch.

If this phone, the 3D and the nexus S dropped on the same day id hands down get the GS2. Ive been following it for a minute but its looking like AT&T at this point so thats not even an option for me. IF it comes to Sprint or VZW im getting it

this is the general section. and the nexus & evo3d or any future phone that will dethrone the evo is worthy to talk about here. it's upgrade time for most of us and probably most of the devs including toast. nothing wrong with having a discussion.

Knowing Sprint, we will probably get a keyboard variation of that phone. Epic 2 or Epic __, maybe a new name entirely. EPIC 3D would be funny lol (1st Qwerty 3D phone )
It does seem impressive, Samsung seems to be cleaing up thier updating track record too. The only excuse I have of not buying it is the weaker XDA backing. Not to say there will be none but I prefer HTC + XDA.

One of the galaxy s ll live wp...pretty cool it supports real time weather and time change(day to night)!

This is what crApple is suing Samsung over:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samm...n-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-units-this-year_id18520
The interesting part is the rumor that Eldar Murtazin spread this week in regards to the Apple-Samsung lawsuit, about a Samsung Galaxy S3 upgrade that is coming late fall, with 4.5" edge-to-edge Super AMOLED Plus display of high resolution, and no hardware keys. These same features Apple is said planning to introduce in the iPhone 6, which will appear many months after the SGS 3, which must have annoyed Cupertino to no end.

Essentially, Samsung developed features for the Galaxy S3 that Stevie boy wanted to release in the iPhone 6, so Apple is trying to slow/stop Samsung in court, so Apple can be the first one to release those features.

I'm sure Sprint will get a variant of this, its the successor to the Epic 4G. I just hope that this time it doesn't have a hardware keyboard. I think this phone would be the best choice for the next Nexus phone.

Nexus 3? Oh yeah!

I don't Know about LG Designs I rather have a Sony Ericsson Nexus.

well.. only a few more months, i can wait. I'm assuming this will release the same time around the iphone 5? what a competition.

Depending on who releases it and what the specs end up being, this could "replace" my N1.
I'm pretty stoked.

as per rumors it's going to be a tegra 3.

NO WAY!!! I highly doubt it android barely takes advantage of the Duo-Cores there's not many games supporting Tegra 2 Devices as it is. By Nvidia releasing a Quad-Core would be Suicide for the 5 devices running a Tegra 2 chips.

Glad i didnt buy the G2X. This may be the phone to replace my N1

Sounds great as a N1 upgrade...but don't think I can wait till 4th Q!

Kal-El device?
Wholly ****. God, PLEASE make an AT&T 3G model!
A possible worth upgrade to the mighty N1!

Well, here's hoping for a qHD 4" screen.

No longer a rumor...IT IS CONFIRMED!

You realize that this was pretty much stated in the link that the op posted in post 1?

I really hope its not an LG. I've had their phones from the ENV's and ENV touch. Each of which I returned about 5-6 times with the same issues. I know that a potential N3 is a ways away, but an LG brand would be enough to spoil the anticipation.

Yeah but the article on post 1 was from Android&Me pre-confirmation. The article I listed was post-confirmation, and gave quotes from Andy Rubin.
Just because Google says a press release about Nexus is coming, that doesn't mean a new device is going to be confirmed. Remember that whole bit Google released last summer about how there was not going to be a new Nexus device? How easily we forget...

Hope come back to htc, or moto

I think Nokia would of made the craziest looking nexus with specs to desire some one slap me from this false dream.

Would really b interesting how lg would handle this but i agree wit previous poster sony ericsson may blow the competittion away

What has this got to do with the Galaxy S3.
You are trying to hi-jack another thread when you have been advised to take back your faulty phone in a previous thread.
As stated, others do not have this problem.

i dont think they will release GS3 to compete whit iphone 5... Come on whats the point? GS2 alredy beats iPad 2 browsing benchmark so whats the point off GS3?

Just Marketing guys. I bet that even if sumtin is improved it is just as minot as it can be. Sgs2 is Top notch!

Same here...
Also, SGS II was released on May(in Europe), i dont think they would released SGS III only 5 months later unless its not really the SGS III but a SGS I9102 or SGS I9103 or something like that which would be the same SGS II but with some selected less features to decrease its price, as happened with the SGS and their SGS I9001, I9003 and SCL...
Not to mention that i thought the released of the SGS 3 was announced to 2012(one reason, may be to analyzed Iphone's 5 new features and improve them on the SGS3)...even though they obviously may have changed their mind...

i9103 was already launched, it's the SGS2 with the NVIDIA Tegra processor instead of the Samsung's Exynos of the i9100. The S3 should be i9200.

As tempting as it is, I know there will be a quad-core phone with much higher specs by the time I'm eligible for an upgrade in early June.

Too much hype don't care for getting early upgrades either, plus TouchWiz isn't that bad and is said to be getting better and less intrusive. So even with no developement id still enjoy it.

One thing I'm not clear about is whether these new LTE phones will be compatible with "phase 2" of LTE on Sprint...I don't have the exact terminology but it's when they drop the frequency and further optimize the towers in their overall Network Vision plan. Will that require a whole new type of phone radio or not? May make a purchasing decision easier, although I don't plan on not upgrading before 2013/2014 either.

I was very close to VZW GNexus due to my general dissatisfaction with Sprint's service, but the latter improved and I actually use my HW KB a lot. So no GNex for me, waiting for CM9 on Epic (although if Droid 4 has the right specs and an unlocked bootloader, it may just sway me)

I'll wait for the next one with a keyboard!

Honestly, I want to get it but the Sprint service where I am at is terrible. I am out of contract and will soon be making the hop over to AT&T or Verizon. I can get a better deal with AT&T but sadly they don't have any phones I'm crazy about. Verizon has the GN and LTE in my town.

so who else is excited about the d705

hey all just wanted to put this out and keep it alive so instill some hope in our hearts that samsung will reease the d705 to sprint soon i cannot wait by the way to see this phone released now this is just a rumor i doubt its correct it was a comment on one of the sites talking about the cellbrite systems thing so supposedly samsung went back to the drawing board and they SUPPOSEDLY emphasis on the supposedly (i dont want people riding my @** about it) its gunna be an exynos 2ghz dual core slider phone.....i say theres a 40/60 chance samsung will do this 1 because theyre focusing on all touch phones and 2 because ..... well idk number someone else can fill in that blank hahaha but any ways heres what i do know the epic will feature an 8 mp camera( back) and a 2mp (i think) on the front 4 inch super amoled + screen and gorilla glass it looks like an aluminum backed phone and the shape is basically .... a fascinate with a keyboard thats all the information i can find on it beleive me i did my homework i researched for days on this thing so if theres any one who either wants to confirm or deny the info i have above please do oh and please post your excitement in this thread i ilove hearing about people freaking out aout the atest releases =D

I am definitely excited for this device, though a 2ghz dualcore doesn't seem possible in the "near" future to me, since the Epic 4g touch just came out, if they released something so powerful there wouldn't be reason to buy it right? Course the Galaxy S3 is coming so I guess you never know lol. I'd be happy with any frequency dual-core, long as it has a nice keyboard .

Ooops thanks by accident. without any updates this phone woulda still been better than all other phones and still be competitive with phones that are coming out now.
