well we still got a while before that happens, not everyone upgrades when a new device comes out. this is the main reason i didnt buy the nexus among other things ,but we still got half a year before we gotta worry about development ending if it does i would assume
I meant official Samsung support. They seem to be on the "here's our new phone so we don't support anything before this one" thing. Im sure this phone will be unofficially supported by devs for much longer than Samsung will.

If they follow previous patterns, that should mean Int'l release around May, and US release between August and November. We'll be fine for some time to come.
It used to be that like a year after something came out they would announce the next best thing, its moved to as soon as the new thing is out the next best thing is announced. pretty soon its just gonna be announcement following announcement.
Guess I better hold off on the nexus then. Maybe I'll import this when it's released.
——————————
Deebo took your bike too?
I never wanted the nexus to start with.Aside from ICS nothing about that phone appeals to me
Ehh. As soon as one phone is released, another phone is getting ready to be released that is better. There is no point in waiting.
Agreed. Excellent marketing strategy though if you think about it.. Always leaves you wanting the latest and greatest. 3 million Galaxy S 2 in 55 days is no joke..
Pfft I'll wait for the galaxy s4, I hear it's gonna blow everything away!

Unless you wanted to wait until November to get the SIII, you made a good choice.
SII came out in April, landed in USA carriers in november. Just because they are doing an unveiling doesn't mean it'll come onto market the next day...
But I suppose you have the option of paying 600+ dollars for unlocked, international which still isnt a bad price, but I can think of a few places to put that 600 besides a phone. I'm happy I got the SII for FAR on the down payment.
Can always sell the SII and buy the SIII that way you save some bread..... but I can't wait to see this bad boy, even tho I may not want my SII anymore bcuz of it
SGH-T989
I bought thisnphone onnlaunch day at tmobile. I di agree it wont be getting launhed here in the states till way after the international release. Im saying 6 months after intl gets it well start to get news about carrier releases. If i do get it im buying it unlocked. But i did promise myself id stick with a phone until its no longer usable. I love my sgs2. Updates can wait because this can do everyrhing i need. I can do other thinga with 600+ dollars.

I'm guessing it will be awhile before we get it. All this confirms is an unveiling over seas.
On a side note check my new sig guys thought it was cool
Apples iPhone, There's a patent for that. Solving lifes dilemmas one lawsuit at a time.
I have little faith it will launch on US carriers the same day. We all know how US Carriers have serious fetish with bloats.
What I have heard is the moved back the launch date so it will launch in the states at the same time

This is utter BULLHONKY. I've had this phone since October and have been patiently waiting for ICS, and I swear that if Galaxy S III comes out before ICS for Galaxy S II I will DISOWN SAMSUNG and never buy a phone from them.

Exactly!! Anyone who thinks this phone will drop in the US anytime soon is crazy. Bloatware comes first when it comes to phones in the US. carriers will try anything to get more money from you. We were the last to see the galaxy sII on tmobile. Why would we see this phone anytime before January next year?
If there is no option for native ICS then I will pass. The galaxy sII will live on long past the release of the gsIII..
Well if it does get launched before June (which looks to be the case) I'm selling this phone and getting the international version. The 4G speeds don't matter to me since I never get over 8mbps anyway. I'd rather have the phone that gets updates right away and has better rom development.
These devices have great resale value compared to most others, at the pricetag is just too darn pretty to ignore.
After a long hard debate with myself of weather or not to get it or wait for the next one, WHY WAIT.
Pleasure to meet you all, in advance.
Hey, nice to "meet" you. ;]

i gotta say, it's my first android phone and i'm loving it. I had no idea how flexible android OS can be with all those custom roms and apps for customization... Also, Nexus has a beautiful and elegant design. I have nothing to complain. Almost all bugs i've ran into i have found a workaround.
Feeling like iam in a wolves den.Dont bite me.Iam thinking of a change myself.From an SE Xperia Arc to .......?The one phone that's been on my mind is Sammys Galaxy Note and now the latest version which is due for release soon,probably in 2 months time.So which would you recommend?

you are in the gnex section most ppl will be biased. i recommend waiting for aug 29 when the note 2 is released then decided
While this Nexus isn't the latest and greatest hardware wise, you can bet dollars to donuts it will be ahead on software updates even compared to yet to be released phones such as the note 2.
This phone is future proof. Only thing that would ever stand in the way of software updates is possible limitations to hardware in the extended future.
In other words Google won't forget about it unless some crazy feature comes out that this hardware won't support.
Unlike branded phones that are generally forgotten about the moment they are released.
Only way I'll replace this thing is when it's sibling is given birth to. By that I mean the Nexus 4.

Pretty sure the screen won't be bigger than it is now, Samsung isn't that stupid, that's why they have the Note series.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I agree. 4.8 inches is perfect. If it were "edgeless" or "edge to edge" than yeah go ahead and bump that up while keeping the same size, but the current size is perfect for a phone boarding on phablet.
No reason to go any higher when someone can just buy a Galaxy Note. I can still unlock and use my phone with one hand for the most part. Yeah it's a bit difficult but it can be done!
It seems like they just released the S3

I think this is what turned me away from HTC. it seemed like after the original evo they came out with a new phome every month. Instead of puttin out a solid device then taken time to ensure there next one was a true upgrade they just pumped out as many as possible

Congrats for the phone. I myself jumped to the wagon of galaxy S2 a year later when s3 was just around the corner. I didn't regret a bit. Same now with galaxy nexus.. Not regretting it a bit.. Got it a fortnight ago. The ready baked development and mature kernels trump it all. Enjoy your phone

Just to know you are not alone, I got my GNex yesterday. Upgraded from my Epic. I didn't want to leave Sprint, so no N4 for me. Decided to save my upgrade for next year and buy a used Gnex off eBay. Infinitely better than my Epic and probably good enough to last me another year.
Jason
I'd prefer this phone over the n4 personally..
ignore all the hate! welcome to the forums
While I would have waited for the N4, don't worry because the Gnex kicks serious ass anyway. A lot of Gnex owners including myself aren't upgrading because the Gnex is a beast!
I'm planning to do the same. Do you think the price will go down when the N4 is released? Really low on money but I just can't take this X2 still on Gingerbread.
Sent from my MB870 using xda app-developers app
Again, you are not alone. I also jumped on this ship. Snatched a Gnex on Ebay for US$232.00 shipped. Great deal. In my case, right now i can't afford the Nexus 4 because spending US$300.00 is out of my reach. Simple as that. And even if i could spend USD$300.00, i would still consider the Gnex over the Nexus 4 because of the storage. 8Gb is waaay to low. 16gb is already low, but i think i can make it with it, but 8gb is out of the question. Not to mention that Play Store doesn't sell devices on my country, but i still wanted a Nexus device for the updates and the optimized software, so this was my only option. Im coming from a AT&T SG2. Great device but not a Nexus.

You should've waited a week. You're getting an old and much less powerful model for the same price. If you can, I would try to return it ASAP!
So I read earlier today this phone, despite lasting less time than other smart phones before its time, is coming to an end. Will devs jump ship too? Will we be seeing any unofficial key lime once it launches? Maybe 4.2 tw ROMs?
I understand s4 is out now, but hardware wise it isn't too drastically different right? Or should I just swap this in like everybody else?

Only two devices I would give my S3 up for, the note 3 or the next nexus device (as long as it isn't made by LG and the back isn't glass). Until then, I'm perfectly happy keeping my S3.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
The S3 is one of the best selling phones so I doubt we'll see it abandoned any time soon. I'm sure we'll see a keylime pie release. I remember when the s2 was supposed to end at ICS but it seems to run JB just fine. I wouldn't even be surprised if it also gets keylime though it would probably be an unofficial release.
