- Start date
Looks like the unveiling could be set for 22nd March.
I'm pretty sure that won't be a question unless you absolutely hate TouchWiz or Samsung underwhelm us all.

I waited ages to decide on the HTC Desire and then about a month later the S2 came out and I was gutted.
I think I'll wait for the S3 to come out before I make any more decisions about my next phone.

be interesting to see how this phone is, i buy sim free and have no contract, but VERY happy with my Galaxy Nexus. Quad core and a less plastic feel to the impressive S2 could make me dive in at launch.
I think you would have to be a MASSIVE tech/phone geek to want to upgrade to anything from a Nexus. Realisticly its not going to be that much better.
Hoping its out May, desperate for a new phone.

im curious to see if the you can uninstall all the samsung apps, as i heard that ics allows removal of all software

Em3bbs on here claims that having a replaceable battery means that battery life doesn't matter.
I've seen it mentioned many times at various places though, and it's normally used as a get-out clause as the iPhone battery life tends to be better.
It's just something I've observed.
I haven't said I "line my pockets with batteries" at all, typical Robbo exaggerating - well let's say outright lies. What I actually said was I have less battery issues with my S2 than I did with my iPhone as my biggest problem with batteries was forgetting to charge it and then having to go out with a phone that will die. Now I always have a spare battery charged on a dock which I can swap if I forget to charge and I'm off out for the day. Although at the moment I have the S2 with two batteries, a Galaxy Nexus and a Note so I don't have any battery problems at all.
I see you're suspended anyway though, silly boy.

Not anymore.
I was exaggerating your position but it's still a get-out clause used by some due to the iPhone having the best battery life - which it generally does.
Still, if the S3 is really thin, then the battery probably isn't going to be an improvement over current devices.
I can't say that I 'forget' to charge my phone though.

Some people have more varied lives than others.
I don't have a set routine, it's rare that I will ever forget to charge but it's very important to me that I have that back up just in case due to my job and also being a parent. I only got stung 5-10 times with my iPhones over the few years of ownership but that was enough.

If it worried you that much, why didn't you get an in-car charger or one of those little charging pack things to keep with you? It isn't much different to a spare battery really.
Still, you're lucky that Android phones have replaceable batteries across the board (generally). It's not like you'd buy an iPhone if it had a replaceable battery, would you?

I have a USB/iPhone connection in the car, however I often get the train into London (I'm 20 minutes from Paddington).
And why wouldn't I buy an iPhone? I have an iPad, an Apple TV and a Mac Mini. I just find the current iPhone far too small an iOS far too limiting for me on a phone (even when jailbroken). It's fine on the iPad which I basically use as a media hub/kitchen TV though. If an iPhone came out that suited my needs I'd get one straight away but I prefer Android despite having loads of other Apple kit.

Pocket Lint have posted a pic of the SIII that was leaked on a retailer's website. If that's the real deal then it does look most impressive.
EDIT: Doh, it's a fake!
