The Galaxy S III is landing on AT&T, T Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon. Bad news for HTC and its One series.

You might want to ask that question outside the Android sub-forum...

Back on topic, I wish the TMO version had the quad core chip since they're nowhere close to deploying an LTE network (at least that's the reason I'm hearing the other carriers went with the dual core chip: to make the phone work with their LTE networks)

Really.... Important to keep up with the competion how else can you follow innovation.... Whether people like it or not Samsung makes remarkable phones.... So why not keep abreast to better judge the BB10 when they are released.... I for one like to be informed......

**john_v** · 06-04-2012, 11:26 AM

To me the exciting thing about this is that it is coming to US Cellular at basically the same time. For too long we've had to wait for months to get the same phones and they are finally pulling it off. I'm excited, I may preorder this.

And you do realize that BB is dying a slow death, don't you? The way things are going at RIM, I'll be surprised if BB10 ever sees the light of day. RIM's market share has become irrelevant on the world's stage, and I don't see the company, in it's current state, surviving the year.

The remarkable thing is Sammy has such a problem getting decent RF. I'd not jump on the 3 to quick before some real world user reviews come out. Hopefully the third times the charm, but not gonna speculate, just look before you leap. Call and data drops are infamous all over the web forums regarding the first 2 incarnations.

But I thought everyone loves them? Sounds like a wait and see. Yes another bb user. As said doesn't mean not interested in anything else.

Why hasn't HTC pushed the major carriers to add the One X to their lineups? Samsung is crushing the competition.

Exactly. They don't have the One X on T-Mobile, so I'm pretty much going to get this. I love HTC, but come on. You can't make your best phone exclusive to one carrier.

Their quad-core SoC is not compatible with 42 Mbps HSPA+ ... it doesn't really matter to much anyway, outside of bragging rights. Plus, they all have 2 GB of RAM.

**MrszBerry** · 06-04-2012, 09:43 PM

wow. That means my SGS 2 which I got in February is now obsolete.

**Jaxenroth** · 06-04-2012, 09:59 PM

I dropped vzw and switch to tmob in Nov. Got the s2 and was in love. Than a gnex, this is the greatest phone i have ever had. Just ordered the bb 9900, cause bb has a spot in my heart. Gonna get the s3 when it drops, but will definitely keep my gnex. I think the bb will be a fling, but if anything ill upgrade madukes 9780 to the 9900.

US Cellular isn't a major national carrier. I was referring to the Big 4.

**dragonsamus** · 06-14-2012, 03:42 PM

I want one but I want to see how its battery life is.

I thought the HTC One S was T-Mobile's version of the One X?

The One S is the One X's little brother.

Sad that the USA GS3 with have to downgrade to the 2-core CPU instead of the 4-core Exinos. Other than that it appears to be a super heroes type high-tech phone that even "Tony Stark" would love to have.

I dont think that it will be a downgrade. The Snapdragon dual core S4 processor is quite capable and it will be as fast (some say faster) and will have 2gb of ram. I don't think there will be any noticeable difference between the two imo.

Does the GPS work? I'm batting about 300 for a working GPS with galaxy devices. I'll swap 600 processors for one if they can master that whole GPS thing.
