- "Level of luxury", right, a glass-made brick-shaped is luxury to you, but to most (more than 60%, actually) is just a glass-made, brick-shaped object. Not to mention fragile, and too heavy for it's dimensions, esp. the tiny screen. You need to learn that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and this is where we move on to the next low on your part:
- name-calling, again, really? I thought recess was over, and this forum was for people that can elevate the discussion past the name-calling point; we got it ages ago, since your first posts, that you have a personal problem with Samsung and it's products, but I recommend you throw away all your electronics, including your precious little iPhone, because it has Sammy's components all over and inside it.
- "Android Incan understand"... No, we can not understand that. Some spelling classes might be in order here?...
- " raging against the top dog"... the only person raging here is you, for whatever reason is that. Why don't you tell us once and for all what has Samsung, or Google's OS, ever done to you personally, so we can finally understand your PTSD and maybe offer you some specialized help. Confession can be cathartic, also.
- I sure hope too that the next Lumia rocks, albeit for different reasons than you, and I certainly hope they will not hold back on their features, like I feel they've done with the previous Lumia crop.
- like others have said already, 15 mins with a device is hardly enough, esp. when you come loaded with preconceptions like yours.
- there are plenty of phones out there that are Apple's competition; in fact, every other phone that is not bearing the fruity logo represents competition. We know Apple can't stand competition, and secretly nor can you, because any phone that has come out recently has better specs than the iPhone, yet you keep denying it. In your eyes, a true iPhone competitor would be a phone with a tiny screen and made of glass in the shape of a brick, but in that case you would cry foul all-over yourself. It's like meeting a beautiful girl and falling for her (or a handsome boy, if you swing that way) and then any other is being compared to her and failing that comparison; the only one that would be as beautiful in your eyes would be her twin sister. This is how mind works, get over it and admit that the rest of the world sees it differently. Your logic fails here.
- your logic fails once again - you say "it had zero quality to it", but then say "nice screen". To everyone, "nice" implies some degree of quality. Please, stop embarrassing yourself like that. Even with the benefit of the doubt conferred by the low-level name-calling post, this logical self-immolation is just a tad too much.
[citation][nom]silverblue[/nom]I was setting up somebody's Galaxy S III the other day. The first thing you need to get over is the size of the screen, absolutely huge if you're used to an iPhone or Lumia 800. It's a very attractive phone, and it'll probably survive a fall far better than a certain other manufacturer's phone which has glass either side. How much is "luxury" (debatable, by the way) going to help when you have a sharp intake of breath when it takes its inevitable tumble? I'm liking the brushed metal effect you get with the S III (including the black version), and plastic isn't always bad.[/citation]
Yes, it is a nice phone, but my beef with Sammy is that they should have released this version along with the rest. Now, this will be due for launch very close to the next crop of Nexus phone(s), and Samsung should have been hard at work on their Nexus version, instead of this. That being said, it will sell pretty good, I am sure, as no other phone on the market has similar specs right now.
