The TX is for Asian markets, apparently

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Yeah, Sasmung is the only one pursuing pen and touch UI integration right now. Only problem is S-note still hasn't caught up to OneNote :/
OMG... is that a multitasking button?!
That's clearly an iPhone ripoff
The iPhone 5 better bring the big guns this year. Last year high end Android phonea were stymied by still running gingerbread but this year Samsung will have even the SIII running Jelly Bean before the iPhone launch :O

No, the TX is Hayabusa, it has Krait. (EDIT - They have fixed the white-paper, it now says MSM8260A, which is Krait based, the same as the Xperia T)
The AT&T version is the Xperia TL.
The Xperia V and T will be launching in the US across a number of networks, the TL has a full aluminium body and will be exclusive to AT&T. It is unknown how much battery life was sacrificed.
The Xperia V is awesome, I used it recently with the eDream 9 alpha (Sony's Jelly Bean based ROM) and it is going to be great. I have heard JB will roll out for 2012 devices by the end of October, but that is not confirmed. 2011 devices are still under consideration, but the prognosis is good.
That Galaxy camera is very interesting. I hope Nokia delivers on the WP 8 pureview so it's a fair comparison before I pick one.
I just wish the J was the international version of the SX.
You think your daughter made hundreds of beautiful pictures at the rocky mountains vacation? Nope, she played Angry Birds and commented her girlfriends facebook page all day long.
I think the problem is the letters don't seem to correspond to tiers, which is pretty confusing.
Nokia had differentations between the N-series, E-series, C-series, and those worked really well for consumers (well, prior to the redo where the C1 refered to a C1-01, C1-02, and C1-03 which could all be very different phones). Not sure if that's what Sony is trying to do, but they've already used a shit ton of letters.
You know what the best thing about the Note 2 is? They dropped that stupid bloody water drop sound for selections that was on the S3...
The Note 2 is exciting, if not predicatble. Still, it has a huge battery and I'd love to see some benchmarks. I'm really hoping Q4 2012/2013 is finally the year we see some battery life improvements because I've had year on year of battery life drops... >_>

wrong forum code.
TomTom to release Android app, targeting this October
heh, TomTom is the source for Apple's maps nav in iOS6. It be amusing if Android has both Google and TomTom's maps before the iOS gmaps app is approved.

TomTom better have some AWESOME stuff to be able to compete with current offerings on the Play Store. How do you compete with Google Maps, Waze, NavFree and all the others?
I think lane guidance and cameras is a step beyond Google maps. Also speed limit maps. And other downloadable custom maps/POIs. Plus customization like the custom voices and graphics, colors and all. People just like that type of stuff. I know I would like lane guidance and speed limits in gmaps.

how much would you like it though? it's not cheap.
Its normally maps with all the features I mentioned.
The only ongoing subscription thing is usually weather/traffic (due to the data costs). But that's already included in gmapps, and we already pay for that data to verizon/att... So adding lane guidance and cameras and speed limits would not warrant a subscription in my opinion, its more of an added feature than an ongoing cost thing.

I would pay 30 for a USA map. I will only use it when I don't have data signal in the middle of nowhere. So thats the most I will pay.
Google Maps's custom map features make me completely rely on it.

it's $50 for TomTom with USA maps on iOS.
Traffic and Speed Cameras are both in-app purchases.
or you could use NavFree for free... it uses map packs and doesn't require a data connection.

really? I still hate my xoom even with jellybean. Mostly just because of the dearth of android tablet apps. I'm not in college though and I find the xoom screen shit for general reading
I probably would be less negative if it could at least play HD video properly like it was sold as being able to

Ugh, so I need to turn Web History on in order to enjoy the cool and creepy features of Google Now?
yeah. i'm not biting.
How else would it work?
Google doesn't give a shit about you by the way, just turn it on.
