Good news is if this Samsung news is true US customers can forgo their fears of getting another gimped phone, and/or having to wait a long time till something else came out that was a fix for the LTE chipset debacle.
Easily puts it a step above HTC's offering too IMO which means the HTC One X better get out sooner rather than later in the US IMO.

So you expect Tegra 3 devices with MDM modems? Seems odd that Nvidia would announce a parternship with Renesas and GCT instead of Qualcomm.

Am I crazy for thinking by time Nvidia gets the Tegra stuff sorted out Tegra 3 won't be that OMFG of a hot chipset anyways?
There are plenty of Tegra devices that use MDM parts. I imagine the early MDM9615 parts are all booked by Apple for the iPhone "whatever-it'll-be-called" and that's why they have partnerships with other modem vendors.
Which Tegra 3 devices have an LTE MDM modem?
I was just thinking that. Samsungs own chip with LTE for the States? That right there is yet another leg over HTC. Assuming its true, its going to be 2011 all over again. S3 will likely dominate the year with HTC and the rest playing catch up.
Maybe if HTC spent more time streamlining their hardware and software instead of releasing bloated updates that break shit, they'd be in the lead. My Evo is a pain in the ass to use now, and the only thing that's holding me back from upgrading is Sprint rolling out LTE in Dallas.

My GF loves her Inspire 4G, but it hasn't been without problems. The gingerbread update fucked up so much shit on her phone. Really it's not the phone she likes but just the bigger screen + access to free medscape for school.

If anyone outside of Google knew that would be great. If Google communicated it that would be great. But no one does and no one is communicating, so who knows?
According to GAF Android is a bit of a let down. iPhone all the way.

If you cared less about incremental 4.0.x updates, that would be great.

wait for S3
That's what I said...
What phone do you have now? If you can wait, wait for the S3.

So at this point really it's a two phone year outside of whatever MS does. It's either get an iPhone 5 or get the GSIII. Makes you wonder if anyone else should even bother other than targeting a low cost market or PAYG.
Link?
Hm, that would mean Exynos 4412. Looks like Qualcomm will have a head start with Krait if it's taking this long for A15 devices to ship.
Considering how the 4.0.3-4 update solved a boat load of peoples problems with the GNex its hardly fair to denounce the update as merely incremental
just installed the latest CM9 nightly that uses the Samsung kernel sources on my SGS2 and now Chrome beta works beautifullyno more force closes
Does video recording and GPS work yet. I can't wait to install it but these are 2 important features for me...
You realize there is more than one GS2 right? Which version do you have
GPS does as far as I know (it looks like its working for me right now) but negative on the video camera. Samsung does some dirty hacks to get that working apparently.
No real surprises there. I always try and buy ad-free versions of apps where available and will often refuse to use an app if my only option is ad-supported. I hate ads just let me pay for stuff goddammit!
International/original version.
A new challenger appears: http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/19/alleged-exynos-5-specs-leaked-in-slide-show-spyshot/
Gah! So close, when this is fixed I am jumping in to CM9. So disappointed with the Touch Wiz coated ICS update.

so i just got an email from verizon about an offer to upgrade early and get $100 off any LTE phone. I'd need to call in or visit a store for the offer, as it's not online.
Pretty much the Razr maxx or nexus for verizon right?

Damn, it won't get past the initial boot logo without a data wipe. I'm not really in the mood for setting everything up again right now, I always forget about a few things and then it's a hassle when I need them and they're not there.just installed the latest CM9 nightly that uses the Samsung kernel sources on my SGS2 and now Chrome beta works beautifully
Thank god for nandroid backups.
I also want to see what Moto has in store. I want a Razr Maxx with a nice HD screen.
So the benefit of on-screen buttons is... the network gets to slap an extra large logo on the front. Thanks, Google, for this fine addition to Android.
