Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Trend is being followed. GS III released end of May in Europe, other markets to follow. Prediction: US - late fall.

I'm surprised children aren't listed in the same manner, with as much damage as they have done to the house

Best post I have ever read

I think my next device will be the Google tablet if it ever becomes reality.

Yeah, engadget will only say LTE "expected". No dates. Verizon, your nothing if not consistent.

Also, its not a huge jump, other than the processor, (which of course, we won't get). Slightly bigger screen, Touchwiz, slightly more MP in the camera... Still love my Nexus.

3 more megapixels...5 to 8 is a wash and is actually a negative to me. More MP on the same size (small) sensor is worse.

0.15" more screen space...wash

Quad core Exynos vs dual core TI OMAP 4460 - eh, yet to be seen...edge to the SIII

Touchwiz...sucks

Winner - Nexus

*yawns* oh man...the presentation is quite boring so far.

Galaxy S3 - just grabbed screenshot from live stream.

The phone listens to you and knows what you want. It recognizes your eye movement and stays on when you're looking at it

It understands your intention to call and makes the call for you

Strange

Guy out with mistress. Looks at phone while thinking "Man, hope my wife doesn't call" Phone thinks "Call wife"

Yeah, I can see that going bad

Strange, cool and creepy.

I want electric blue.

All this stuff sounds like battery drain to me...

 

[MSUgEEk]

To get your Galaxy S3 to wake up say: "Hi Galaxy"

Wow, I guess I have to change my browsing habits...

Web wanderers are more likely to get a computer virus by visiting a religious website than by peering at porn, according to a study released on Tuesday.

Oh! That's what I was thinking!

 

[MSUgEEk]

With all this phone will be doing in the background...tracking your eyeball movments, listening to your intent, waiting for you to say "Hi Galaxy!" ....battery life of 4-5 hours is my guess, lol.

Now they are demonstrating a call. Motion recognition. So if you raise the phone to your ear it recognizes you are making call to person texting. You don't hve to even dial.

too far...texting someone does not mean you want to call them.

This thing is pretty sweet.

SVT - the 8MP sensor on the S2 blows the Nexus away so it also depends on the sensor they use. Normally more MP on a sensor means worse image quality, but they picked a horrible sensor for the Nexus.

Me thinks straying spouses will not want this phone AT ALL!

I haven't checked out the phone yet or any reviews, but based on you guys comments it sounds like you are putting the CIA/NSA/Stalker in your pocket. It sounds kinda creepy. Does it wake you up if you have a nightmare?:dong:

Here is my take on this phone:

It's an incremental upgrade on the Galaxy Nexus in these ways: screen size, barely; camera, you know, cos more MPs are "better;" CPU/GPU.

It's a downgrade in these ways: TouchWiz; camera cos of the increase in MPs, lol; developer device it is not

SD Card could be in either. Thought I would miss expandable storage with the Nexus but I don't.

I wouldn't consider this phone over my Prime any day. Is it a nice phone? Sure...but it's no Nexus Prime!

I would disagree. I think the Nexus sensor is pretty good when it comes to cameras on phones. My Dad's S2 isn't much, if any better.

Can't wait to hear about this 'Intelligent Camera' feature they just showed. It says it captures the best moment for you.

Anything camera tech on a phone is great in my opinion.
