Uhhh... I thought the GS3 was 4.7". A lttle over a half inch difference is a BIG deal!
I thought I read 4.8, but I could be wrong. Hopefully they're making the screens bigger but not the phone itself.

Update: Samsung Canada says upgrade to Android OS 4.0I came from the iPhone 4 and would definitely buy this again. I love having a phone I can use as a Kindle and also play games without squinting. Once ICS comes out, I'm sure I'll like this phone even more (for one thing, I hate the way cut, copy and paste is with Gingerbread). Now, if they would just announce when ICS is coming out.
Multitasking is an OLD concept in the mobile world. Pocket PC and Windows Mobile allowed multitasking long before Android came to be. It IS practical for some people, like myself. To say it isn't is untrue.The phone is slow. Everyone raves about multitasking in Android OS but really how practical is it ? Its not.
Sorry, but from where I came from, iPhone was already dead. For my purposes, Windows Mobile (an older OS) was already killing it with stellar apps that can run rings around it in functionality (even stomping Android apps too). I'm just getting used to Android and seriously speaking, it's starting to suit my needs perfectly. Oh well, to each their own.I will keep it until next upgrade but its definitely back to iPhone after this. Seems everyone attempts to make iPhone killers when in reality the only iPhone killer is the next iPhone.
Update: Samsung Canada says upgrade to Android OS 4.0 “will be available today on select devices”
I'm in Canada, so I'm pretty excited. Only problem is when the carrier will allow the update.
I'm having trouble finding the link, but we've already received that press release here in the USA. I believe it was about a month ago, and we were told we'd receive it sometime in Q2.
In other words, it could be awhile for you in Canada.
Nope, official press release:
Samsung Electronics Canada Inc. | Samsung Canada Offers Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Upgrade
I know and the link I can't find states the same thing for AT&T here in the U.S.
Here it is:
Android 4.0 Now Available to HTC Vivid
I also have to comment about the battery life with the note. My previous phone was the HTC Amaze which had a 1730 mah battery and a 4.3 screen sucked for battery life. I would use it for 15 minutes in the morning, 15 minutes at first coffee break, 20 minutes at lunch, and 15 minutes at last coffee break and the battery would be about 15-20 percent by the end of the day. With the note I have around 65-70 percent at the end of the day. Huge improvement. So I really don't understand all the people complaining about the battery life with this phone.
