Red does not look good. At least not through a computer screen.

I doubt it will kick Samsung plastic arse. And the GS3 is solidly made of polycarbonate. Their phones made of plastic are well built and don't smash easy unlike glass covered iPhones. Plastic does not mean poor as my Sony is made out of plastic and is rock solid. Why do people think plastic means crap?? Plastic is more durable than most glass. As for blowing people's fuses my fuse is fine I just can't stand Apple. Enough said



This is what i have BEEEEEN saying, id rather have a plastic phone that is lite and durable, than something that is heavy and made of glass that shatters easily.
My Xperia X10 has had some incredible falls, latest being last night, dropped it on tiles face 1st in the family room, and it slid and hit the metal rim around the sliding door, still in great condition, if it was an iPhone it would be in pieces. My GS2 has also been a soldier.

Plastic is highly underrated when done right, by the way polycarbonate is a form of plastic.



My iPhone fell of the window and hit plug sockets the other
Week from a great hight not even a mark or smash

The bumpers do really benefit a iPhone for added protection

Shiny black glossy plastic phones I find are a annoyance
Finger prints > keep cleaning > possibility marks

I read to today the next iPhone will be bigger thinner and
Have a metal back but will still look like any other iPhone 4
Or 4S I guess it's a myth till the real McCoy turns up lol

Not personally liking the thought of metal back if it's true :/

This phone is selling like hot bread and butter. It is now at most cellphone companies here in the Caribbean and in strong, strong demand. It will be very interesting to see the sales figures at the end of the year.
I am about to order one for a friend and will play with it for about a week before handing it over. I have to admit though that as good as it is I just cannot buy it while I have a SGS3. I don't see the need to do so.

Yeah right ... trust that FROM in independent source with NOTHING to gain from stock price increases or number of shares sold/bought like Shin Jong-kyun.

Look to reuters/bloomberg or other worldwide renowned news sites on various markets besides technologies.

Galaxy S III
Shipments of the Galaxy S III, the latest version of Samsung’s best-selling smartphone line-up, probably totaled 7 million units by the end of June since the model went on sale the previous month, Song Myung Sup, a Seoul-based analyst at HI Investment & Securities Co., said in a June 27 report.
That was fewer than expected as production was hampered by a shortage of components such as chips and cases, he wrote.
Samsung is unable to keep up with demand for the new phone and doesn’t have trouble sourcing parts, the company said in an e-mailed statement on June 28. A delay in shipments in the U.S. is a “temporary situation,” according to the statement.


I highly doubt samsung shipped 3 million more units in less than 39 days when they could NOT keep up with demand!

Still profits are up 47% and their doing VERY well ~ although as a whole they've missed 31 analysts estimates of sales/revenue and profits: they make a LOT more than smartphones which is why their stock took a hit. Still the smartphone space their doing well.

I'd like to see what Asus can do with a re-invisioning with Galaxy Nexus maybe the "Supreme".

Yeah, I second that. A couple more months and the price will be about right. It has already happened to the HTC One X. And hopefully it will have JB by then.
If it is to be it is up to me!

@ Prom1 - the one fact that escapes your negative opinions about anything that isnt Apple related is the SGS3 sales will have shot up dramatically when the pebble blue colour was released after it was originally recalled due to colour scale issues.

So if they did sell 7million white SGS3 phones up until the end of June, im sure this past four weeks they've managed to fulfill a further 3 million with both marble white and pebble blue phones now available.
