    While I like the samsunf galaxy in general, this is an ugly phone.

    Remnds me of the pebble styling of the palm pre handsets and it doesn't look anything like an iPhone which is a plus.

    I love the fact you can still take the back cover off. just goes to show it's still a cheap, chinese imitation of the real deal.

    The title of this article is wrong. This phone stands head and shoulders above the 4s and not just in size. The title should be "Galaxy S III lays down the gauntlet for the iPhone 5". Apple have 5 months to better the S III, bring it on!!

    Im sorry but Samsung need to sort out there other devices before generating a new one I own a Samsung galaxy tab which I only got 3 months ago and I cant believe I am still having to wait for ics for it. Every one else has it so why have Samsung promised it and not released it.

    A small but important feature is native ability to launch apps by voice. I know you can with SIRI with JB. Looks like Samsung got a lot of things right. Can't wait for Apple's response this fall.

    Out of curiosity, where exactly is your "real deal" phone made?

    WRONG! It would be so nice to have expandable memory and removable battery. They are doing it right, this highlights a Major iphone limitation. If you don't think so then try and replace your battery in under an hour with no experience.

    Not exactly blown away by the unveiling. If they had a design like the One X and non-pentile display then there would have been no question this would be my next phone. If the next iPhone is not announced in June then I will probably go with this unless the One XL with its SD card support makes it way to my carrier. Can't wait for the next iPhone to be launched in late Oct and then a couple months for jailbreak and then finally a couple weeks to iron out the bugs for both the jailbreak and the cydia apps and tweaks. I seriously can't do with an iPhone that is not jailbroken. I am much more productive with it. Activator alone is enough for me to jailbreak.

    lets hope they release the s3 with windows phone 8 very soon so i can sell all my iphones on ebay. iOS is so outdated when it comes to UI and graphics.

    I've no interest really in Samsung but I do like the fact they've moved away from iPhone lookalikes with this design. Something always bugged me about making their phone so similar looking to Apple's. I've a little more respect for them now.

    Okay, so... a quad core phone vs. a dual core phone. Big thinkers on the competition front.

    I know that Samsung is trying not to get their ass sued for having rounded corners etc etc but this design sucks. Looks like a phone that would have been around 5years back. Some of the mock artists can do a better job designing this phone. The S2 looks much better. Come on Samsung, you're not playing the game very well!

    Haha everytime a company comes out with a nice phone this site always says they are trying to take on the iphone. Actually i think they are just trying to market there device, oh and Samsung would have everything to loose if they took out the iphone bc apple uses Samsung parts on the iphone. This site has. become the CNN for iphone news
