With jelly bean announcement I am giving the S3 a second thought. We will wait approx. a year until the S3 will get the update. Who is also giving it a second thought

Is it really that important that the S3 run Jelly Bean? ICS is great on it. If you are wanting that, then you probably be better off getting the Galaxy Nexus.
Galaxy Nexus (and ICS) came out in November, Galaxy S2 got it in May. That's six months, not a year. Plus I upgraded to a stable ICS custom ROM in March.. so about four months after it was released.

If there is one thing I have learned, it is that there is no way to tell how long it will be before any update comes along. Sometimes they are amazingly fast to certain phones, and then other phones wait way too long for the same upgrade. It seems to have no set patterns of any kind, so I would be careful assuming anything time related about future updates, unless you read it on the Samsung site.
Dont forget ICS was a major upgrade for the manufacturers & carriers to deal with, jellybean is a minor release (e.g. its 4.1 not 5.0), so I don't think it will take as long to upgrade.
People malign Samsung for the ICS update to the S2 taking forever, but it was still the first phone to get the update (aside from the Nexus of course).
No way I would cancel my order. Jelly Bean...Smelly Bean. Like this phone wouldn't get it?? As I said on another thread 2 to 3 months & the S3 will be spitting out Jelly Beans ( purple ones please, man I love purple Jelly Beans ).

Exactly. I wonder where OP got that it took entire year for GSII to get ICS. The international S2 began receiving it in mid March and US versions are now getting it. In fact, no other phones from last year got ICS update ahead of GSII.
It was only the OG Galaxy S that samsung got bad reputation on android updates, but even that was mostly in the US only.

You mad! The s3 its awesome and nothing can touch it at the moment.
There will always be something new and if you always wait for the next best thing, then you'll wait your whole life away.
Get the s3 and you won't be disappointed. FACT!

and you know it will take that long for an update how? ICS update took longer because it was a much larger update. Not to mention if you are fine with rooting most likely you will have it within a month 2 tops after the devs get a hold of it. Not to mention there are no glaring issues with the sgs3 on ICS I mean if you are having second thoughts you are never going to be happy because your device is never going to be the first to get updated unless you continue buying the new nexus each year, otherwise you will be second or 3rd to get it.

With all due respect, everyone keeps saying that the S2 received ICS first but the HTC Vivid started receiving ICS around March 15th to the 22nd and the Vivid was released in Nov of 2011. I don't think the S2 received it before that, did it?
I cancelled mine today and walked into the phone store and bought one?? My preorder didn't even show as shipped yet I can walk over to a store and buy one? Strange indeed!!! BTW, I am on Rogers in Canada and bought a blue 16G
Agree. And one reason I am getting away from moto devices. Samsung makes their devices so easy to root and that brings a lot of developers on board with pretty much everyone of their high end devices. No need to wait for the carriers and their bloat infested updates anyway.

The next phone is always better. It is like chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, you will never get there because the better phone is always around the corner.
Just enjoy what we have right now. I don't even think about Jelly Bean until it is readily available.
I think this thread has ran it's course. So I'm going to close it to keep it from running amok. Feel free to PM me if you disagree and we can discuss opening it.
Also, please use this thread for Jelly Bean discussions (revolving around the S3, of course).
