Most folk are on 2 year contract so time to upgrade to S5 anyway..Why should they bother with old phones I wouldn't if I owned phone company..Times change fast in tech folk owning S3 should be buying S5 now especially if you visit gsmarena u must be a geek to do that...Geeks have new kit the S3 is 2 years old now..

pavle, 20 Feb 2014Bought my iphone 4 in 2010 :), 4 years of updates friends o... morelol all good features from iOS 5,6,7 are missing from iPhone 4.
I chuckle.
I own an iPod Touch 4th gen and its somewhat in same boat as iPhone 4 (apart from iOS 7 update).
No Siri
No Flyover and turn-by-turn GPS
No FaceTime over 3G/4G
No iPhone hearing aids
No Offline Reading List
No Airdrop
No Panaroma
No Voice Dictation
All major features (as what Apple boasts) are missing.
I don't why do Apple call updates as "iOS x" , they are service packs or patches at best

pavle, 20 Feb 2014Bought my iphone 4 in 2010 :), 4 years of updates friends o... moreYou come on here an gloat that your have an outdated phone that runs a current OS? Tell me, how is the experience using iOS7 on the iPhone 4? I'll answer it for you since i have an iPhone 4 too - it's ABYSMAL. The phone couldn't operate any slower and it's overall just a pain in the ass. Not to mention iOS7 is UGLY

Well I use for now an T999 no problem with 4.4 however I always use Cyanogen mod since I dont like the tons of bloatware they install on the S3. So, no worries at all.

I truly believe this is not true.
Samsung said it is goning to update S III, and if they are not, many people are going to leave Sammy.
The main reason to update S III to KitKat is that the 4.3 is still buggy and the battery life sucks :S
I hope Sammy is going to do the right thing.
Go Sammy, we are with you :)

Even if the grand 2 was meant to be listed instead of the first grand, the tab 3 7.0 only has 1gb RAM, so that can't be the reason. This is truly disappointing Samsung, I always thought that Samsung were generally good with updates. But the S3 is not even two years old, and is perfectly capable of running kitkat.
