    [deleted post]Market wise, then Japan is not Asia. Lots of phones sold in Japan has never been sold anywhere else, its a country with a lot of people who have a lot of money. Also for cars and whatever, Japan get slightly different models and many models for Japan market only. Because of language and so on, everything has been special made for japan, you cannot sell a phone with English menus there. Japan market is indeed very different from Asia.

    Korea is also partly a different market for some products, and so is China. India belongs mostly to the Asian market, together with Philippines and so on, and quite right as you say, thats not the market that get all the goodies, if any at all..

          Scott, 11 Oct 2012That's the Chepeast phone i've ever in seen in my life. Mad... moreI don't know about you, but I dont have a habit of destroying my phones, just to prove their casing is strong enough. This 'argument' about plastic/metal casing is really, really stupid and backward.

          If your strongest argument against S3 is its casing, than u must be a really intelligent and any further argument with you would only serve to prove my point!

          P.S. I'm guessing u're also using a titanium cased laptop. ;)

                              DA FUQ?!?!?! Why did you release a 1gb international with only a 1.4ghz optimization SGS3 international in May if you're making us pay for the fact that we wanted a better phone? You should have given us these models with 1.6ghz optimization and 2gb of ram in June or July and not trolled now Sammy, now it's a must you give us(Europiens) this version if we want to exchange our 1gb 1.4ghz SGS3s into this with only 150Eur.

                                  It's like they are trying to flood the market to make their brand the most popular.

                                      That is one serious geek-gadget. I wonder what display it uses though? There must be some cutbacks somewhere, as it looks like a perfect Jelly Bean phone.
