Comparing MP is like comparing MHz.
There's more to good performance than just numbers.

fuh real.

i see they have different options like the iphone: 32gb, 64gb internal etc

and the wireless charging is an optional add on.

edit: i like the sensor that follows ur eyes to stay on....wonder if it wud work with cokey eye people. lol

I don't like the middle button.

They should of made all the buttons capacitive like the i777.

^ I personally like the home button as is... would hate for it to be capacitive

I like having a physical button. Make you feel like you are more in control. It looks like the same size as the galaxy nexus

Glad the S3 didn't turn out to be better than the One X. They're definitely on par..with the One X having a better build quality imo

Why so ? What's considerably better about Samsung generally than HTC, in your opinion?

Thats just a feeling, while I do agree that the physical button has its place, I don't find it to be worth it on the s3 home button because:

1. The home button is the most used button, thus attracting more bacteria and pocket lint, over time particles gather at the corners and under the button which are difficult to clean. Also guess which button is closer to your mouth while you talk at length on your fancy phone.

2. We have all used our phones with our hands wet or dirty hands a few times, now add liquid or oil to point #1.

3. If those 2 are not good enough then why did at&t make all the buttons on the front capacitive on their version of the s2?

What I suggest though is that the home button be designed like the iphones home button with plastic over it so that its a lot easier to clean and water proof. Plus you get that "in control" feeling.

This coming from a user of both the capacitive and physical home button on the s2.

WRT to the 1x being better than the s3, ill let cpu benchmarks decide that. Plus the s3 already tops the 1x in some features eg. the eye focus, and I don't think I have to cut my sim card.

Guys I need some helps from experts..lol..I have the correct APN settings in my One X..But it doesnt see any data connection at all..

stev · Postby **stev** » May 3rd, 2012, 8:08 pm

^^^might be a stupid question but did u make sure to select the APN u created? that is, make sure the 'dot' is checked?

Haha yeahh..I did that..I did every possible thing I can think of and searched all over but I can't find a thing..

Edit: whenever I change my MNC, the APN magically disappears even when I click save :/ and my MNC is 129 while a tuner who sent me a screenshot of his GS2's apn has 12..and I cannot change mine..my authentication is default as none while in the GS2 screenshots they were PAP as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's not a problem with BMO cuz it works on any other phone.

Capacitive home button means you have to press the power button to bring up the lock screen. To do so you need to change position of the phone in your hand I find. I don't like the capacitive home button, my Galaxy player 5 has a one and I much prefer the physical button on my wife's S2.
