What does GT stand for in GT-i9300? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Loving my new S3. My first Samsung phone and liking it. In my analness in knowing all about my device anyone know this little tid bit? Does it date back to old models or have a Korean relation?

Obviously gt-i means grand theft iPhone and is the most prominent clue to Samsung shamelessly ripping off Apple's products.
GT-i9300 means it's the 9.3 thousand's attempt to copy the iDevice.
</irony>
Sorry I have no clue what it means but that's the first thing that came to mind =)
Samsung has been using it for quite a while now. It probably means Galaxy [something]

GT a fairly common add on to any product brands to make it appear more faster or exclusive .
GT Grand Tourisimo as used to describe the early Touring Cars .
GTI added by marketing guys to standard cars to make them appealing to the boy racer go faster brigade .

Yeah I thought it might be Grand Touring related but couldn't be sure. Turismo is a Japanese twist on the naming I think you mean there.
According to a quick search the I is capitalised officially. You're probably right, they went with the nice car sounding performance tag.
Or perhaps with conjecture it's Galaxy Tourer - Eye (because it sounds nice) 9300! (it's over 9000!)
Not really original then though. Then again the Koreans are just good copycats with good innovation over the top, like the economic rise of post war Japan.

GT-I9300
GT=Galaxy Telephone (In the case of Galaxy Tabs, do the math yourself.)
Galaxy S III - AT&T
SGH-I747
SGH=Samsung GSM Handset
Galaxy S III - T-Mobile
SGH-T999
SGH=Samsung GSM Handset
Galaxy S III - Sprint
SPH-L710
SPH=Samsung PCS Handset (A holdover from Sprint's PCS days. Never bothered to change it.)
Galaxy S III - Verizon
SCH-I535
SCH=Samsung CDMA Handset
I hope this has been informative.

[Q] Say Something About This??

Today I came across this video while surfing in YouTube..
SAMSUNG GALAXY S III...

Havent seen the video, but this thing happens all the time. When you get a great new phone thats recently published, companies are already working on a better version of it (or another better model).
Its usually better to enjoy your current mobile than to be like "I should have waited to get X mobile better", since you could be waiting forever as the companies get more and more new mobiles...
I tell you what... theyre photoshop skills r goooood lool. Only thing i can tell you for sure is the GS3 will b amazing
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!

What phone should i upgrade to after the GALAXY S2???

I had been using a galaxy s2 for a couple of months now and i wanna know what the best upgrade is???
PLEASE: NO APPLE PRODUCTS ALLOWED!!!
iPhone.
You deserved that for asking such a ridiculous question. How would we know ? We own SGS2s Ergo, go ask people who own different phones what they think of their phones so you can make a decision.
Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX.
If you can't handle the price tag,sit yourself here on this armchair and be content -> _-/

I usually have three phones a year and I'm poor? I just keep it in great condition and trade my old phone against the new phone. So don't be judgemental.

haha. Yep.
My best friend has the s3 and I have the note. I personally do more with rooting and stuff and my note has the features his does and some his doesn't so I like mine....the s3 on the other hand has a cool look but the note grabs more peoples attention....the s pen is bad ass as well...I'm bias though because of me owning the note...

Galaxy Note 2 in hand next Thurs

Not sure where to put this...but here we go.
As with past devices, including the s2 skyrocket, recent tabs and orig note, I will have the chance to see, touch and play with the Note 2 well before release. Specifically Thursday.
Just as I did with previous devices I wanted to get input on questions to ask etc.
This opportunity has nothing to do with my employment at Sprint. Any information obtained is obtained through relationships prior to and outside of my employment with Sprint.
Rules apply. Basically no pics (i have been known to break this rule)

What problem is this?
Your leak on the original Note was spot on, so I'm excited to see what you dig up, even if you don't get a chance to take pics. Plus, getting hands on this early is indicative that they're already in production, which looks like Samsung is going to go with a semi-simultaneous global launch like the gs3...good news for my buddy who is converting to android for the Note 2 from his iPhone.

Wait! The new devices coming out at CES are better than the Note 2 and SGS3.

Both are technically excellent, personal preference on the size is the decider - I held both in my hand when deciding. The note was far too big for my pocket and embarrasing to hold to your ear (think 1980's brick sized phones).

They are both good phones and to the save up for a s4 when it comes out. Samsung hasn't put out a release date and then the s5 or nexus 5 is coming out. There is always something newer and better around the corner

The Galaxy S3 is the latest of the S Series... Its hardly old, its 6 months old, in Android terms this is old but it excels almost every device at CES, with the exception of the Xperia Z maybe...
