introducing natural interaction
the galaxy s iii enhances the interaction experience between the device and user. smart enough to detect your face, voice and motions, the galaxy s iii adapts to the individual user to provide a more convenient and natural experience. with the innovative ‘smart stay’ feature, the galaxy s iii recognizes how you are using your phone – reading an e-book or browsing the web for instance – by having the front camera identify your eyes; the phone maintains a bright display for continued viewing pleasure.

Wasn´t the Nexus S close to us$800? After the insane success of the GS2 it wouldn´t surprise me at all if this phone would cost something like us$850...which would probably drive me towards the HTC One X or a Skyrocket HD LTE.
I seen 499£ an usually the most phones sell for from t mobile is lime 500$? Right

About $890 in Sweden
6000 kr here - about 1000-1100 dollars...

In Switzerland
623 € in Switzerland for the 16Go version (blue).
Shame it has no 802.11ac wireless support, with routers now coming out that have this new wireless technology, next gen phones like the S3 should support it.

why ?
is 450 mbps not fast enough ? i highly doubt you have that speed on your internet connection.
anyways even 450 mbps is not the actual speed, on my sgs2 i get around ~30 mbit and that is fine, i do have a 100 mbit internet connection, but 30 is fine for the phone.

Smartphone Watch Faces

Good Afternoon
I have been looking for a SmartWatch now for a few months but everytime i watch a video review or read a written review they seem to gloss over or only briefly talk about the watch faces that are available.
I understand that they have to talk about notifications and what the watch offers in terms of applications but i wish the above was covered a bit more.
Bearing this in mind, i am looking for a fully personalised Smartwatch. This means one where i can change the strap and have access to alternative watch faces instead of the stock ones that come with the watch.
I'm not a brand person either so i don't know how many of the Chinese smartwatches would have the ability to change faces or straps.
If people could give me their thoughts on this and which watches do this then that would be appreciated.
The only watch i have heard that may have access to other faces is the Atongm W008 but i don't know this to be true.
Many Thanks
chinese watches = 3, maybe 4 watchfaces.
NOT customizable
i very much doubt the atongm will be any different
SW2
-loads of watchfaces, customizable
-display always on
-readable in full sunlight
-battery life about 3 days
-good companion software and social media support
-interchangeable straps
my 2 cents
What's SW2?
Sony Smartwatch 2
I'm not a huge fan, I'm a bigger guy so would prefer a bigger watch

What is your wrist size? I have a 7.5in wrist and the SW2 is very large on my wrist. It's even bigger than my vintage military mechanical diver's watches. It takes up even more wrist space than a Panerai Radiomir 1940 (PAM00512).
then get the Zenwatch, that thing is huge
