So when will the hating on Samsung begin? Nice achievement. Still, make it more android core and not have your overlay and bury the rest. JMHO.

I will start hating Samsung when they start behaving like jerks at Apple.

What I find strange is the behavior of employees at Apple franchisee stores. They behave like they are God's gift to the world and THEY developed and made the phones, personally!

As an S3 owner, i can say it really puts to shame every phone ive ever used.

- Enough power for a proper level 4.1 x264 high bitrate native 1080p decode (no transcode required, just stream off my nas)

- 4300Mah Battery upgrade gives me more runtime than usain bolt with a coffee addiction.

- oh and thanks to otg this can be done :-p http://tiny.cc/b0cvnw

I could go on...

oh and the maps app actually knows where i am cough cough like some other os i could mention, mahahah :-p

And as for the iPhone 5 already reached 6 million sales in total since launch, ok how many days is that so far..? Didnt the SGS3 have like 9 million before it was released officially into the wild : http://tiny.cc/pcdvnw
