There's a good deal from HS18 for s3... checkout the below link

The deal starts in another 4 hours. .. price is likely to be less than 29k...If you can spend this amount, go for it.

yea, just do it

no

That's a very stupid question. It all depends on your budget and needs

It's the question to think about when you're buying a phone 4 month before the next generation will coming out... sgs4 will be soon there.

Especially now 4.2 is out. Update news on Drippler.

Yes 4.2.1 is out for the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7...
Samsung will soon release 4.2 for the S3, but they are first releasing 4.1.2 for everyone

Yes.. i was reading something that in february/march we should have the 4.2 update on S3. That would be great. Soon will be S4 and i really hope this one will be good from any point of view, no more hardware problems, no more cheap plastic... We will see soon

Guys which device should I buy???...
I loved my s3 a lot but unfortunately it was stolen by a gang of thieves...
Now am stuck up between nexus 4/one x+/samsung galaxy nexus/one x and if anything else better device you know ,please pm me ..
I mean in pune in india nexus is only available in black ...

I would buy a Note 2

Not with the s4 looming no, although development for the s3 will continue the s4 is going to get a lot of attention and you would be stupid to not take it into consideration

I wouldn't be so sure about saying yes. The Galaxy S IV has been announced to be launched in mid March, so it should be shipping worldwide by the end of March. If you can wait another two months then it could be worthwhile. Even if you decide not to upgrade, S IIIs will be cheaper as the new model is out.

I have a Galaxy S II, very nice and beautiful, have the stable official cyanogenmod. I would recommend you to buy it. But you might want to consider Nexus Prime which is coming out very soon.

Get the Nexus Prime or, if you can't wait, the Galaxy S2. Don't get the Nexus S (unless you're looking for a slightly cheaper product). It's a superb phone but there are better devices currently/very soon to be on the Market.

Galaxy W is cool.
obviously if u compare both sgs2 and nexus s, sgs2 is way better by miles. and way pricey too
agreed with most of comment here, if u could wait abit longer just go for nexus prime.
any news on when nexus prime ll be launched???

Launch is 19th but when the phone will be available to buy is not known (by me at least). We'll know a lot more Wednesday.
Nexus Prime seems to be outstanding from what I heard from rumours!
Its launch was delayed due to death of Steve Jobs.

Just pre-ordered my nexus 7!
It will be my third tablet, and will replace my tf101 as my "on-the-road" tablet since its smaller and more portable. My tf101 is going to become part of my home-automation project, and I hope it will become the portable console to control all the things in my house.

you might wanna reconsider since its been mentioned that the first few devices to get jelly bean will include xoom since motorola is owned by google.

Not if Verizon can help it, they delay everything....as you can tell how long it took them to get their last update. Have to love how hard it seems to update the CDMA network.....

So, is it going to be easier to port Jelly Bean to the Rezound than it has been to port ICS? I'm not expecting it in the next month or anything like that.

I don't think so as we didn't actually port ics to rezound we got a leak.
HTC is most likely gonna finish their ics rollout to all their devices before starting jelly bean even though they probably already have the pdk...

Verizon doesn't have any say in their nexus phone, its updated by google only
But because its an LTE phone I'm pretty sure google has issues with it like our developers do too

Looking for a new phone

Heyyy ace ppl
So finally after a year and half I'll get a new phone
My first preference is the S3 i9300
It's got a good dev support in Xda and is also the really good phone
IMHO
So I wanted to know whether
Is it a good choice? I don't mind waiting If there's a better phone coming in India recently.
I also heard about the S3 i9303 varient but hasn't released in India yet
Lumia 920 is coming but windows is not my thing
Android ftw
So please suggest
Thank you

Only problem is that there's no play store in India I believe. (I'm in Singapore so not sure but think so). Which means telcos and other retailers are gonna increase the price by a lot. Greedy businessmen the lot of them...

I doubt Nexus 4 release in India, but yeah you can order it via e-bay for nearly 24,000 INR. It'll be a US import for use in India ! Ordering one this December. Better prefer Nexus 4 over S3

Note 7

I see another Note 7 being discussed but it is the GT-N7000 and this a GT-N5100. I may bypass the Note 2 after seeing this.

It doesn't say whether it's a phone or tablet
sent from my lovely phone....hmmm wait its a tablet...waaa i dont really know.....im PARANOID NoW!
It looks to much like our Note to be a tablet. Wishful thinking.
Maybe the 7100 is a tablet and the 5100 is a phone.
I hope its just a little brother to the 10.1 that I really wanted and never got because of its ridiculous price.

I guess being an artist, it only sounds logical to even consider buying a tablet if it has a pen to draw on. At least that's how I justify the money since my note can do all the work I need anyways. If they come out with a affordable GNote tablet I will buy it and then shift my phone to the next Nexus device after the Nexus 4. That way I can stay at the top of development for my phone rather then waiting forever for updates and at the same time have something to draw on. Honestly, the galaxy note is still too small for me to draw elaborate drawings on.
That picture is an I717 ....running GB 2.3.6
Probably a demo unit too....
Likely a 7 inch note would not be a phone ...g

My 7" Samsung tab is also a phone. It depends on the modem chipset.
I've read enough now that I believe that this new 5100 will be more of a tablet.
There have been rumors of a smaller version of the GNote 10.1 so this is most likely it.
if/when it comes out internationally.... it will have phone radios....and a green phone tile on the home row....

S3 or Note 2

Should i buy s3 or note 2? Hows the quality on note 2?
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).

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...
