    This may be released closer to the iPhone 5. Contract is due to run out in a few months so if I know what both phones will have I can then commit to one. If SGS3 was released in April I may have jumped at it not bothering about the iPhone5 so now I can wait patiently and keep my options open.

      Samsung's strategy is clearly working just fine. They came out with the GS1, it was a total success. A year after, they had to come out with something even better than the GS1, boom, GS2 a super-smartphone, rated the best out there not by me, but by "the experts".
      Whenever they release the GS3, based on previous experience, that everyone has seen, they should and I am 99% sure they will, surpass and deliver an amazing product.

      It's not hard, just see what they've done, see the numbers, see the users and you'll figure it out. :D

              It's just another Galaxy Nexus, but with different design, different UI, and different performance. Japanese phones are better than the Korean ones.

                  You guys are talking about sony like they've got something good coming, people the Ion its coming out in a few weeks with a cortex A8 processor for Christ sake, this was old tech 6 months ago even motorola came out swinging last year with a cortex A9. wouldn't want the Ion if the gave it to me.

                  Every body is trying to get in to quadcores or cortex 15, and sony comes out with las year tech. LOL

                              just when i was thinking of buying the galaxy s2! think will go for the sony s instead. s3 will be super expensive anyway.

                                Haha! Samsung will have a 'special' event?! It makes me laugh. I think the S III won't be a major hit. Just in the beggining.
