Not to mention the current iPhone is the first one to get LTE. How long did we have LTE before they finally got it. If you say we are behind the times Mr. Schiller you need to look at the man in the mirror my friend.

I highly doubt that he'd be idiotic enough to believe his own statements, he just needs the public to buy it.

If he does believe his own dorky crap, then he'll soon be recognized as Steve Ballmer, Jr.

Android's only relevant competition today is coming directly from Google management.

At least Google is following the same trend now as the other two, so they have that going for them.
 
Sorry, a bit MIA lately..... remodeling and getting ready for the spring garden has me totally pooped. And Mr Lin is itching to move. I'm avoiding that like the plague since he speaks and I have to pack and organize the entire process.
 
Moving is not fun. Especially moving 800 miles like I did two years ago. Oh, and I only had three days to pack and prepare. Whee?
 
Lol i really have to clean up my backups. Knowing me, ill wait till my sd and internal are nearly full before i do a spring clean :)
How is the Odin app? I have it but havent used it yet lol. Think i installed it on impulse :)

Sorry, missed your question in the influx of confusion this thread often has :)

It was very painless using the app. Chainfire on the XDA has complete instructions.

Basically download the stock image, unzip it (or extract it) to get the tar file, copy the tar file to the phones storage (external SD card), open odin pro, have it check the MD5. Then flash.

Way WAY simpler then using the PC.

You probably could not even use a PC because I believe there is an app you can use to unzip the sucker right on your phone and you can download the file to your phone from the browser (usually downloads).

If you want I can find the link for the instructions and PM them to you since they are hosted on another forum. Just hit me up in a PM to make sure I get the request :)
 

Have you read the comments?

Oh man, it's just what I need first thing in the morning to give me a laugh.

In short, yes it's very similar to the S3 (assuming the post is accurate) no it's not really that ugly, especially by 'brick' phone standards (I'm thinking nexus line?) all in all, the best feature is the bigger battery. Other than that, as far as hardware goes, its pretty much an S3 on steroids.

Summery of common specs from S3 - S4 (rumored)
Ram - same for US, +1GB for Europe
CPU - updated, faster than S3
Capacity - same format - 16GB/32GB/64GB? With micro SD
Display - improved - more efficient - slightly bigger
Camera - improved + 1MP & probably slightly better sensor/software/firmware
Battery - +500 Mah over S3 to 2600

So overall, while you'd expect improvements in the next gen flagship, obviously there are some, but, imo nothing earth shattering but the best bits are the battery, display performance/power reduction and CPU tech. Obviously coupled with a new Touchwiz and updated Android This could turn out to be a beast of a phone and pretty efficient too. (based entirely on rumour & speculation)

Yeah, nothing real earth shattering here. You know this Note 2 ain't so bad after all.:thumb:

Like I said, coming from a low/mid-range phone to a flagship will always be a much more worthwhile experience, once you have a flagship phone, don't expect the next one to blow your socks off. My S3 will fo me for another year, and I've still not bothered to root.
