jn77 Unless it has 128gb of internal memory, and a Micro SDXC HC card slot, and a 5000mah removable battery (Phone) or a 12,000mah battery (tablet). I will stick with SamsungReply -
jn77 oh, forgot the 1080p screen (phone) or 2650c1600 screen (10 inch tablet). Then I might buy one.Reply -

myromance123 The HTC countdown timer is exactly the same as the Ubuntu timer. I think it might be an Ubuntu tablet, or an extremely amazing coincidence.Reply -

My expectations are completely realistic... Sandisk has had 128 and 256gb Micro SD XC HC chips for about 4 years now. Since they control the market they are being a bully which is bad for the market.
Infact apple announced 128gb Ipads the next round. So don't lie to people and say expectations are too high.
I had an EVO 4G when they first came out and they were a market leader for thinking the way the power users do, now they have fallen behind for being "status quoe" -
jn77 can't be a fanboy if I own an EVO 4G, A GS3 and an Iphone 5.... or I must be a fan boy of all of them even when I am bashing them for stupidity.Reply -

Nobody has a phone battery that big
I never brought up SDXC card capacity as that is nothing to do with a phone -

Then is sounds like somebody's been preventing phones to have a lot of memory. Anyways, I added to my SGS3 a bigger battery (4500mah) and now it lasts almost twice the time it used to originally, and I say almost because I keep more apps opened now and no power savings mode. But the phone went from looking sleek to look fat (which I personally don't care). LOL

99% of the time the quoted statement is complete BS, and is the mark of a fanboy trying to give weight to his opinions, but stating that he owns all 3 phones.
My dear sir, even if you do indeed own all 3 ( it being your wife's or kids does not count) you almost definitely do not use all 3, and as such, have a natural bias towards whichever one you use, that is assuming your initial statement isn't complete BS.
