i need a new phone and the s3 hasn't been announced in AU.. not a good thing that we're missing out on phone releases.

Probably too much to ask, all the reviews said it can play MKV flawlessly... Fact or fiction? Subtitle support?

i played some 720p naruto eps with Subtitle and it worked flawlessly (and looked amazing by the way). also played some berserk mkv files with no problem's at all

I am REALLY jealous. I want it, but I still have some months to go with my current phone (SGS I), so I'll have to wait.

I'm still undecided whether I'm getting the Pebble Blue or the Marble White. I was firmly in the MW camp when it was released, but then I saw some videos off PB and changed my mind and wanted it instead. Now I just don't know :(

Were the subtitles baked in or seperate?

without having the device (yet), I'm sure I've read some reviews in which is stated that de SGS III can play video files with separate subtitles without problem, and that actually, it gives you the choice to choose the sub you want to use, even if it doesn't have the same filename as the video.

I'm pretty sure any recent Android device can, if not with its stock video player then with MX Player or DicePlayer.

I would never had expected this for a smartphone out of the box, the pluses just keep coming for me, even if I won't use it to watch movies, wow.

I'm not too surprised since Samsung TVs and blu-ray players nowadays can also play mkv files if you connect a hard drive to them.

For what it's worth DICE player handles separate file subtitles without any problems. However, the subtitles don't show on the MHL output. At least on my GN.

Something that I still have not seen when it comes to the Galaxy S III is how the folder icons look. Is it ICS style or iOS style like what HTC did with the One X?
 
Hmm...so the US versions will have Snapdragon S4 to support LTE and most are assuming it won't use the Wolfson DAC audio either.

Now confused whether I should see if my parents can get me the international version from India or wait for US release. I wish US T-Mobile specs would come out, that is the only one that may use Exynos with Wolfson DAC

The international version of the phone will only use Edge on T-Mobile. It only supports HSPA+ on AT&T.

You may be able to purchase one from a Canadian provider. Wind mobile here uses T-mobile bands, don't have LTE and are rumoured to get the SIII.
