ok, this is awesome.
Well, I checked, and it says I have to wait until this time next year, so... Might have somethin' to do with the fact that I was able to get the EVO 3D a bit earlier than expected.
Maybe a similar deal will pop up a bit later. I'll keep my eyes open.
4G pretty much sucks in my area. It only ever kinda works deep in the downtown area of Grand Rapids, Michigan—which I don't frequent all that much. I've hardly ever used it since I had my original EVO, just 3G.
Why do they still insist on putting the USB port on the side? It's good that you can alternate the position of the kickstand, but I liked it better on the bottom.

So their 2G becomes "4G" (but technically 3G) in the cities that get this changeover. And they're also getting ready to start building their LTE network which is a whole different thing.
And if I remember correctly T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon all use different bands for LTE. Wouldn't that prevent you from roaming or taking your phone between networks and still being able to use LTE?
I thought the padfone was 900/2100, not 850/1900?

I know the tech differences between the phones for the most part. Being new to the android phones I was more or less wondering about the specs (US AT&T) of the phones and what to expect over the life of the phones. Is htc a good brand still, heard a lot of bad things about the inspire.
Do locked boot loaders last the life of the phone or does/can it be broken also? Would really like a vanilla ics experience with no sense or touch wiz over lay. Also does htc update their phones faster than Samsung? Seems like the gs2 has been waiting for ics forever.
I might try the one x since you have 30 days Buyers remorse period. Hopefully the full info on the sIII is released before that time is over. I do like the removable sd cards and battery but coming from an iPhone 4 I don't think I'll miss it on the one x.
AT&T CEO blames Google for slow Android updates, Google fires back
This guy is a total dick! First complaining about unlimited data plans on iPhones and now this.

Yep. Padfone only has 900/2100 for UMTS. Coperdickus could get an iPhone though, which has quad band UMTS. (850/900/1900/2100)

they're not migrating from AWS, they're adding AT&T compatible spectrum.
obscure? wasn't most of last year's Motorola lineup OMAP? and Asus sure managed to get ICS running on their devices pretty quickly.
Roaming with LTE isn't happening for a long time.

This is another reason why I believe Google will start to make their own hardware down the road. I mean, has the Nexus program help OEMs release and/or update their hardware in a timely matter? Has it created some sort of standard in the industry? AFAIK, the answer is no.
And since OEMs pretty much have done whatever they want once the code is available I see no point in Google catering to them on the hardware side of things. Just keep releasing the code for FREE, and OEMs will not complain.
TFM, yeah I forgot about the moto phones. But one can argue base on global smartphone sales from last year, Snapdragon (HTC and Samsung US phones) and still way more popular than TI.
Scoll down for smart phone chart, Moto didn't make the top 5.

Dreams shattered.
I won't be surprised to see ATT kick off a huge WP backing this year. They don't have to worry about the OS as they do now since MS will take care of it all.

Welp, now we have everything. Hardware ICS buttons WITH a menu button. RIP search button.

that phone looks amazing!
That's what I don't understand about carriers/oems and their handling of Android. They complain about all the work they have to do to get the latest Android update out, and how iOS and WP7 are much easier to handle from their end. But no one forces them to dick around with Android. No one forces them to put out weak apps that no one uses and that then have to be upgraded for each new version of Android. No one is forcing each of the carriers to make their own exclusive variations of the Galaxy S phones.
They're doing it to themselves, so why bitch and moan about it?
Seems like it'd be a lot easier and cheaper for them to make their phones "Nexus" with stock android, and consumers (the vocal ones, at least) would be happier too.
What does this mean. Does this mean it's compatible with ATT and T-mobile at their highest data?
Up to 21 mbps on HSPA+ for both att/tmo/carriers around the world with the bands.
There are faster phones on TMo and ATT (Skyrocket for example) that go to 42 mbps.
Very few people are actually bothered by pentile if they a) don't know about it b)don't visit gaf.

Slick Phone though.

did you bring your microscope with you?
i'm sure it annoys a select few people, and it probably mindfucks some other people who if they didn't know, it wouldn't bother them at all.
the menu button is seriously blowing my mind.
At least they're keeping the correct order this time around (until Samsung unveils their entry level Galaxy Scramble that is).
Hello, Android-GAF
I'm looking closely at the SGIII (or the Nexus) and the HTC One X. What reasons can you give me to wait for the SGIII and not bite on the One X right now? I've been looking at the specs and it seems like the latter doesn't have any disadvantages outside of lacking LTE (but having a quad-core processor).
I'm in Canada FWIW

The S3 has microSD expandable memory and a removable battery. Also a .1" bigger screen if that matters. Are you getting the global version for either? Both versions in Canada I'd imagine will use the S4 chip which means both should have LTE.
Hmm, yeah, the removable battery might actually be a make/break for me, as silly as that might sound to some. I like the idea of swapping batteries when one is low, plus I've heard they're fairly inexpensive. Not too fussed about the other stuff.
By global version, do you mean the one that you'd pay full price for and attach to a carrier? I'd almost definitely get the carrier's (Rogers) version.
By global I mean not North American. The HTC One X has the Tegra 3 in the global version and the S3 has the Exynos. Neither of those are LTE. Both phones in North American will more than likely have the same Snapdragon S4. Both of those will be LTE.
You're totally right. I just dug a bit more on the carrier's website:
Dang. I was looking at these specs.

How does this compare with Polaris office?
While playing with the One S at the T-Mo store I also took the liberty of logging into dropbox with my account...
How? ANd what is that from?

How is Dropbox compared to Google Drive?

I'd hate to have that much space for that long, then forget when it expires and lose the space.
So I have a mytouch by LG, and I don't have much complaints other than it gets really laggy whenever I text. My friends usually mass text me, so whenever they do my phone gets reallyyy slow and becomes a pain sending and receiving messages at the same pace 
My guess is probably cause I don't delete any of my texts... but I have a lot of space on my phone still so I didn't think that would cause a problem. I know I could back them up (and I do), but sorta want to keep them on my phone ;x Is there any other way I could fix this? >_<
