      AlexI, 18 May 2012To bad that even with 4 cores it still runs laggy sometimes... moreWhere the hell you see a lag? Did you ever try any of 2 last galaxy's(s2 and s3)? Both of them are blazing fast!!! And doubt S3 dont have competition right now. I tried One X and this phone is shit compared to sgs3 and compared to sgs2 too. Sgs3 is more beautifull than you can see from pictures. I have sgs2 and I dont look for upgrade because I dont need better camera than one in sgs2, or better screen resolution(480x800 is more than enough for 4.3" display. Hd screens are just a marketing trick, I now that more thing are going to fit in the screen but what than? You need binoculars to see all small details). Dual core exynos on gs2 have a lot of power for me. Ubuntu work very wel, all games without any lag, 1080p video in browser and etc...

        AnonD-24171, 18 May 2012Yes it is better, Wait till PureView released and we will s... moreIt is so clear that N8 show more details than Nexus 5mp. You can even see those tiny lines so clear compare to the Nexus which you can barely see any lines.

          I use both android (2.3.7) and Symbian Belle on a daily basis and they're virtually the same. The difference is that one operates well on 256mb RAM and a 680mhz processor, while the other lags, stutters, crashes, and chews through a full battery in 8 hours, despite the 1Ghz chip and 512mb of RAM.

            I think S3 is a very beautiful phone that feels very comfortable in the hand, and I can not understand those who think S3 is "ugly"! If you must have polycarbonate plastic than you can probably easily buy a polycarbonate backpanel from any of the companies that will make backpanels... for S3!
            S3 sound quality will be perfect with the Wolfson DAC and the Voodoo sound drivers!
            I have preordered S3!

              AnonD-24543, 18 May 2012Ladies and gentlemen... Please let me remind you the "... moreWell honestly I would disagree y because if u guys remember when 4s was released same was the situation got lot of criticism and I would say even more than S3 but still it out sold Iphone4 so cannot judge by amount of criticism as a matter of fact more popular u are more criticism will u get. Think I made my point.

                    Frustrated fanboyz?, 18 May 2012The legendary trollwar has begun... Only a dozen times ever... moreUnfortunately, instead of pure logic, Fanboyism rules...
                    And I bet that the same guy that mentioned something about delusional Nokia fanboys, he is a SamBoy himself.
                    There is nothing more stupid than trying to promote a product (arguing about it) that has nothing to do with you (you do not profit from it).
                    That is what big companies managed to build through time. Product Self Promotion through Fanboyism.
                    PLUS that I believe that nowadays, Sammy fanboys are the biggest in number.

This means that NOONE takes the responsibility for this info. Which means that anything can be stated... What I say is that this info is not safe.

                          Anonymous, 18 May 2012Alright, here comes the delusional Nokia fanboys. Brace you... moreThe legendary trollwar has begun... Only a dozen times every day, Samsung, Nokia & Apple fanboys meet on the battlefield of the phone market with only one goal in mind. Bash the other side until there's nothing left of them but smoking debris.

                          Epic, unrivaled, massive scale. Witness this infinite war for domination live on gsmarena.com

                              The fact that the source is anonimous, makes me think that this is just marketing, not real preorders.

                                  Iphone sales is not comparable to any other phone just and only because iphone users do
                                  Not have any other choice than buying the new iphone if they want to upgrade( THE BEST
                                  MARKETING POLICY) but in android world we have a lot of choices if we want to upgrade.
                                  So in my opinion when siii preorders 10mil. Units it has outselled iphone in any aspect because it has to compete with other products and even with other samsung products

                                    Please let me remind you the "Wake Up" incident thatr happened about a month ago, behind which Samsung was involved (but Sammy actually wasnt).
                                    DO NOT believe any figure that comes out.
                                    Unofficially, I can say that the Xperia S has sold over 100.000.000 units world-wide in some blog. Then someone sees the info, pumps it up a bit, and reproduces it. This goes on and on.
                                    DO NOT believe anything you are being told!
                                    The reaction of most ppl when the SGSiii was released was MUCH Much mUch worse than the reaction during the SGSii release, how could there be SO many preorders? NOT logical.
