The only reason Im considering one is because Apple is firing both barrels at it preemptively, which says to me they are bitch scared in no uncertain terms.

Game changer.
Is it as big as the SIII though? That's like mini-tablet.
Right? Kinda feels that way.
Obv have to wait until April but I think it worth it...
Obv insure the shit out of it because I hear the screens crack when someone raises their voice with you but I can live with that.
I'm actually a Moto guy. Gorilla glass is god. The cheap RAZR M has done me well.
I mean it fits in my pocket which is a big requirement for me.
Apple is doomed. The new blackberry z10 is better than an iphone. S4 conference starts at 7pm Eastern Time.

It has all the features of the S III, except it has a few tricks that are nice to have but not critical. I saw one feature where if you are watching a video, and you turn your head away from the screen (your body is out of sight from the camera), it will pause the video you were watching.
Also, it apparently can use that camera to read your eyes, and as your eyes move down the screen while you are reading type, it will scroll the page down for you, without you having to use your fingers to swipe the text downward. Nice feature if it works properly.
It also allows you to "click" on something where instead of you putting your fingertips on the screen, you hover your fingertips over the screen for maybe a second, and it registers as a touch.

Im pretty sure the eye tracking will be super buggy but Im sure it can be disabled.
The size of the screen is worrisome because its going to make a notoriously fragile item infinitely more fragile, but as long as I can get insurance on it, fuck it.
The camera is god, 2gig of ram worries me tho... if I can get that upgraded, Im fucking sold.
I got the S3 and overall it's a great phone. They are far away from launching S4 probably six months or so if I had to guess 2013 4Q seems about right so the phone could still see some more changes besides what you see now.
S4 dropping in stores in April apparently.Quote:

I love my s3 to pieces. Its sturdy too. The screen has been fine in with my rough job. Also the Apple execs spazzing out this far from launch is sensational
Thats a big phone, looks.......meh. technological marvel? with out a doubt.Quote:
