well the SGSIII has officially been announced, so now lets just use this former LIVE UNPACKED event thread, as a general talk about whatever sgs3 thread.. this is where you can ask your one liner questions that arent worth making a whole thread for, or just be chatty about whatever sgs3 thoughts you have
also be sure to check out the
[ Galaxy S III™ FAQ Guide ]​​itll save you some searching (click that ^^^)

I can't wait!
I was hoping some one would make a new thread on the day.
I suggest a mod to close every single rumour thread to get rid all this junk.
I'll see you all in 11 hours

Awaiting...

Better still, archive the most ridiculous wild speculation. That way you can embarrass users in threads by saying "hey, weren't you that guy that thought the S3 would have flashing purple sparkly deeleyboppers and a pretzel-shaped screen....?"

PST = specific central time.
(spoken like an American with bad pronounciation of course)

FYI, 2pm EST for all us east coasters.
I'm excited but my Galaxy Nexus is not.

20:00 for me, not bad at all. So just 4h30m left. I have some really high hopes for this phone, loved my SGS2.

I think we came to the conclusion in irc that the average age of epic users here is 17, while the mental age is more like 14.
I never would have thought that myself, at 23, am actually on the older side of members (not that 23 is old. Or 36 for that matter)
Sorry that doesn't make you feel any younger

stealing that.
i used to tell people when they asked how old i was that when i was in HS i had to break up with this girl that lived in manhatten (i live in queens for the nyers) because i wasn't allowed to call her because it was a long distance call. this is within the same city mind you. this even before pagers became popular (the ones that you would call the # and key in your phone number... no alphanumeric or any of that)
PS before any of you young wise asses ask why we just didn't IM... there was no internet back then. at least not that anyone had

i remember when AOL was "cool" to have. back in 1997... was that like a thousand years ago? one song took me over an hour to download. i even dial-up dukematched with a friend for Duke Nukem 3d. i remember knowing some lucky kids who had that internet thing even earlier and they had to pay by the minute!
and before that? i read books. i remember books... they looked like these words i'm typing now, but i could flip the pages instead of sliding my finger on the screen. ;_; i miss books.

A casualty. Someone stepped on it climbing over the pallet. He laughed when someone in line asked if he was going to pay for it.
Got here about 9:15, been in line since 10:15 or so. Not getting much closer. Very unorganized as you could expect.

No. Wife likes to go out to people watch and get a few things, my nieces stay over and watch my daughter.
One thing I notice... people give up after standing in these lines... but I do not see anyone turning away when they first get in the door...
Just heard on the police scanner there is a large fight at one of the local Walmarts. Cops that are there are asking for more backup.

I should download a scanner app and see what's going on around here. Still in line, have a while to go. Luckily they price match competitor ads... but not until the time they start at the other store. I was worried I would get through the line before midnight.
Now they have a fight at Kohls.

A couple of hours ago The official Samsung Twitter account posted a tweet “ tgeltaayehxnx,” which is a Countdown for the Next Galaxy. Samsung has also registered a domain name http://www.tgeltaayehxnx.com/ that claims to reveal something in the next 6 hours. Discover how Samsung is about to challenge the way you view the GALAXY once more .
http://www.icsforums.com/forum/showthread/6502
Im confused, iv read from multiple sources this is either a new GALAXY or a new software update..
Im hoping for a new Galaxy as my SGSII has recently become boring.. need some fresh meat to get my hands on..
Guess we have to patiently wait..
Cannot wait! Perfect timing with my galaxy SII plan running out.

I think this is a way to see how many people from each country is interested in the SGS3 so they will know how many Galaxys to deliver to each country +-?
technical data of s3 seems pretty nice, but it will run with TouchWiz anyway :/
I don't expect to get much out of this countdown. If it's a GS3 teaser as the rumors say, then i will refer to GS2 teaser http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FNKe6pPBnc
I bet that all Samsung will deliver and expect to get out of todays teaser is hype and excitements.
It won't effect me though, since i can't get anymore hyped or exited

Hit the link underneath and vote for the Note.
TL;DR > Quick link > http://xplod.fr/poll/
Reason behind as stated by @XpLoDWilD :
I'm (co-)maintaining quite a lot of devices now, and people are always flooding my Twitter when a new version of Android (and CyanogenMod) comes out, to ask when their device will get some love. This happened with Android 4.1, 4.2, and will likely happen with Android 4.3 (announcing at I/O on May 15th) too.
To make everyone happy, I made this quick poll to let people express themselves what device they want to see ported first, as I never know myself which to start with. @XpLoDWilD

Fun spoilers
Hate to break it to you guys but if you took more care about what information you shared on the internet (such as names, emails, addresses etc - basic security stuff) you wouldn't have anything to fear from HTC's legal department. They can't file a successful lawsuit against an anonymous person now can they?

How can the OP pull the ROM? He didn't post it, a russian blog did. All the OP did was link to where he found it, I'm sure no disrespect was intended.
That's a real shame. If you want to name the people who ported it, then I'm more than happy to include them in the first post.
PS. Don't quote a post right above yours. It has no use.
