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!

Ah, I'm running ICS right now and judging from some other threads I saw we might be getting ICS soon.

Doesn't Matter if they keep making these second class variants for US carriers.
Plus with everyone talking about how much they hate TW then what is there to look forward to on this phone.

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.

Project Roadrunner? 4.2

Has anybody heard of this? I did a quick lazy glance here and didn't see it posted so I thought I would. Looks pretty amazing with new features and improving Gnow and improved battery life for Android users. Of course the main concern is in order for us to experience we might have to switch phones or of course wait on our devs to do their amazing work. Thoughts??

To be honest I have no idea if I will but if it's still holding up I might be. Either way I'll probably still own it and use it for a backup! Unless It's lost or breaks I don't replace my phone every year.. I got mine in March which makes it only about 7 months since I first bought it

Lol I know what you mean. But this s2 isn't just any phone, it was built for things beyond what it came with. All I'm saying is if you want this new OS then of course Nexus will be the phone of choice not Samsung and etc. But this phone is good for 2 years in my opinion. I'm also cheap and don't switch phones every few months or every year lol

Your point? We all have to move on at some point. By the time this phone gets 4.2 we'll have some really amazing devices on the market that will make this phone seem like it was from the stone age. Just like this phone makes that HD2 seem like its from the stone age. Idk how people are still using that thing.

I think my next one will be a nexus.. There should be some nice ones coming out soon..
I was thinking.. I'm sure that the galaxy Nexus is a shoe in to get 4.2 and if it can handle the software I am sure that this phone can too!.. It's unlike that tmobile will put in the resources to update this phone after JB but it might be a slim possibility.. Especially since we will have the option whether or not to have OEM skins

Officially I don't think this phone is getting past ICS. I have high doubts about an official TW JB update for it. Only the international GSII has been officially confirmed. As we all know that phone and every other GSII has the exynos SoC so I wouldn't doubt the others can get it easily. But since we have the s3.. idk.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium

And I just wanna state that it's obvious that Google is listening to what people want and trying to add it to software updates! We have all been talking about how nice it would be if we had a choice of AOSP or OEM.. And voila! Google goes ahead and appears to be implementing it!.. This is totally opposite of other mobile operating systems (not naming names) that always hold back the features... This is why I will probably stay loyal to android for a long time!

Amazing... something long overdue IMHO, but better late than never (in terms of the manufacturer bloat/customization thing).
Also... I think I read something about multiple Nexus devices on their way? Very exciting!

Yes I've heard of at least 2 nexus devices!.. An LG nexus device will be released by the end of October..The name Samsung Nexus 2 has been thrown around a bit. and I think there will be one by HTC as well..

My theory is it will be available once they upload it to AOSP.

I don't know when the source will drop but a lot of little parts have already been pushed to source in expectation. The kernel is there as well I think... I'd expect source to drop late tomorrow.

Can't wait to flash the stock image.
Hoping to see it this month.

It will be out when it's out. Making dozens of treads won't make it appear any faster and just clutters the forums.

An update that was a bugfix only, no software version.
In that regard, Verizon's version had an OTA the first day of launch.
:Launching with JB doesn't count as an update, LOL.
Yet, they both have been slow since. Nice try though.

Can't wait for the 4.2 update.
I think first the source codes will be uploaded to AOSP, and then the factory image will be pushed to google's website, and at the same time, the OTA will begin.

true, but hopefully this will speed process up a bit if a lot of people voice their opinion... i mean you can do nothing and just wait or you can say something and then go back to waiting... so I'd rather say something, and if a lot of people start talking they'd start moving too.

from my experience with verizon and the thunderbolt's ICS update...it's not worth the time to hit up the social networks.
they'll just tell you it's coming to silence you then months go by without an update.

haha)) it's better to do it on social media, this way you get much better visibility and others sees that as well and hopefully verizon will feel somewhat ashamed and actually do something about it!

I used to have Verizon and now have sprint and struggling with school and full time job I sometimes forget to pay my bill. Verizon financial service cuts my service then makes me pay the re activation fee but with sprint I can call and tell them I can pay next week and they simply say okay.
But no 4g lte sucks but they do update the gnex rather quick.
Its a give or take with your service provider. I don't think there's that perfect provider right now.

Personally custom roms are better but its the principle that makes people go crazy for an update.
Also considering the vzw gnex have antenna issues, some people may actually need the update for the new radios

the beauty about #nexus is that ROM doesn't have any customization which in a lot cases causing instability for every day use, so I'd rather use stock ROM, but back to my HTC Thunderbolt days, I couldn't stand stock so I went w/ CM7 and I _LOVED_ it!
