Read this in currents but am unclear about what the "Galaxy Music" device is. Anyone have an idea?

I'm assuming it means the galaxy player 5.8 seeing as it comes with ICS. However if the GT-I9000 is on the list then the 4.0, 5.0 and the others may be getting JB

and the 3.6 gets nothing im sure!
Geez! JB would be the salvation for the Galaxy Player series.
Sent from a GNote all tricked out with BlackCNA, yes.
I'm holding out hope. These are great little devices, but they have so much untapped potential.
That music will be new device with 3 inch screen..so probably no JB for player

Samsung To Launch Galaxy Music Phone
http://sammyhub.com/2012/09/26/samsung-to-launch-galaxy-music-phone/
As for the hardware specs, the phone is expected to be a mid-range device with dual-SIM and single-SIM versions, Android 4.0 out of the box but will be upgradable to Android 4.1, 3-inch display, 850MHz CPU, 512MB RAM, 4GB internal memory and microSD card slot and 3MP camera.

850MHz CPU?
seems like it has worse specs than our devices and still can have JB!
Was totally thinking those were weak specs.

Which one is the most fast and fluid and the most "future proof". Not in terms of software updates but in terms of which one would work just as fast in the future?

It has got 1GHz Snapdragon processor and Adreno 200 GPU and 512MB RAM, so the H/W seems legit. But its still stuck with Android 2.3. You may even want to check if there is active development going on here at xda for customizations or ROM upgrading.
EDIT: If you're interested you may look the features of Galaxy Ace 2 I8160, it looks pretty cool too and slightly more features than Huawei and cash difference maybe not that high too.
Well the Galaxy Ace has by far the best battery life and Samsung phones always have the best Rom customisation scene so you can always keep your OS looking fresh.

If it gets ICS, then Huawei is a :good: from me.
But don't consider going for Ace now. Not that I'm saying its a bad phone, but its hardware is outdated and no enough RAM. Rather considering Ace 2 or Ace Plus will be good.
Now I've completely changed my mind after looking at some monthly contracts. Don't think the Huawei is an option anymore. It's between these:
HTC one V
Sony arc s
Sony Xperia U
Anyone offer any guidance on which to go for or even go for another?

- Every Phone coming with minimum 1GHz Clock speed (Arc S = 1.4)
- Only Xperia U has secondary camera (video call) but don't have SD card slot, it means you only have 8GB of internal memory, out of which 4GB is only usable.
- All coming with 512MB RAM.
Anyways HTC One V is the latest out of three with default OS as ICS. Other Sony phones should get an ICS update. And rest, the decision is upto you for which model you should go for. If you don't consider about Secondary cam, then One V is a done deal, and also performance wise it should be fair good as the hardware is updated to 2012 (Bluetooth is v4.0).
Good Luck!
Basically, they're all good, right?
Would the extra 400MHz of the arc S make a huge difference? Or the dual core of the Xperia U?
Also (slightly off topic), would a dual core processor, clocked at 1GHz be superior to a single core processor clocked a 1.6GHz? What are the benefits of more processors?

If you're gonna buy a new device, I would not recommend to buy the models that have been released one year old or so. Maybe its personal choice, but I feel that way.
That extra 400MHz may make a difference if you tend to overclock the processor to run the games fine without lag or so. I'm not sure anyways. But you told you're only interested to keep it as Stock and not interested in modding or flashing custom ROMs. Anyways I guess 1GHz is fair enough as every phone nowadays is coming with that clock speed, so its likely that Games should support.
If my knowledge is true (it could be wrong too, lol) I guess a dual-core processor performs more than a single-core even if the single-core is clocked at 1.6GHz or so. You should seek some more advice about this, because I'm not sure about what I said. But seriously, you want to go for Xperia U? It doesn't have SD card slot, all you have is 4GB of usable internal memory for apps/games. If you're a type of person that installs almost everything from Play Store, it doesn't have enough room for it to fit within 4GB memory. Otherwise, its fair!
HTC One V

I know, but the phone isn't for me. Its for someone who's going to use it for basic needs, I.e. calling and texting. I just want the phone to work smoothly and fluidly without much lag. I know they're all good, but which would be the best option?

I think you should have post this on "Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0 General".
However, I own the INTL version and the main difference is the home button: on INTL the home button is phisical. I don't know any other differences maybe this is the only one.
Thanks man, I was just wandering. And your most likely right, sorry about that.
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
The difference between both the USA and International devices is mainly the built in storage capactity, and the screen buttons. I believe for the international you could buy a eight gigabyte or sixteen gigabyte device, and also you could choose from the white player or black player. In the USA, the default is the white eight gigabyte player. Outside of that, the features and tech specs are rather comparable.
Actually between INTL and US the only difference is the home button, but the korean version has a better camera, it comes in full white i believe, hardware home button, a tv antenna that only works in korea and a choice between 8 and 16 GB internal storage

Let me clarify these things up. The only difference between the international and the US version of this device is ONLY the home button. The internal hardware is the SAME (no differences) Now between the korean and international is the antenna for DMB and the 5MP camera.
So I'm coming from a Samsung Infuse, and honestly, this phone cannot piss me off even more than I already am. I'm talking about constant resets (stuck power button), terrible GPS reception, UNBEARABLE LAG even with the latest paranoid android, and finally, messed up APN settings which bares the phone useless since I can't have any service on it! So now you understand of my struggles with my current phone. I'm in search for something that I can rely on and won't have even the slightest bit of lag after 2+ years of owning it.
Now, I've been doing some research on some phones (gs3, htc one x, htc one, gs4) And I come here to find out your honest opinion on the GS3 since the time you've owned it. Should I save some cash buying a GS3 or a One X, or are there some sort of problems with these phones that have ticked you off that I should consider paying the extra buck and looking at the 2013 flagships instead?

OP, if I were you, I'd wait until the S4. Not because the S4 is a good phone, we don't really know. But because I'd like to know if the S3 sources are to be released. Otherwise, stay away from exynos.
You'll thank me later.

If you really want an S3, what about the I9305? 2G RAM! If you can afford a G4 go for that instead, if cash is tight perhaps a second hand G3. Should be a few out there soon cheap, when people have upgraded.

If you can get the S3 for a gooood price, get it and install SlimBean no lag at all stable as rock. Faster then a n4

I'd recommended waiting for the S4. The S3 is a great phone but at least you'll be future-proof with the Galaxy S4 (in terms of updates, camera, display, and RAM). That's quite a lot of things!

Yeah it's a drawback, one I would find myself very hard to live with, but I would make compromises. I love that my S3 is capable of reading sdcards but I would easily give up that for something that runs lovely aosp as awesomely as the Nexus

I would be probably on Nexus 4 already if it supports USB OTG to mount external drives.
S3 have bad multitasking management, huge delay when you open dialer, mms and galery app.
I have spent lot of hours to fix these issues thanks to xda devs. It is a good phone (huge battery removable, good screen, ext sd card, powerfull) with a bad programmation.
I advise you a nexus one or a htc.

All i'm saying is to get a phone with 2Gb of ram. S4 or even the S3 with 4G is fine. The N4 is subject to different considerations (do you want an sdcard, etc) but it's a powerhouse too.
While the S3 nearly doesn't lag at all, not having multitask isn't fun and you'll definitly have a better experience if your apps aren't closing all the time due to lack of memory. This annoys me to no end and i'm replacing it whenever an oportunity arrises.

I neeed it too, I am thinking of swiching over to a galaxy nexus (which is only about $250 at amazon)
oh and the proper name for future reference is Ubuntu Touch
With all of the other ROMs that we have on our GP, I'm surprised we don't have Ubuntu.
