Samsung Galaxy S III Launch: Down With Webster VIP Party Ticket Giveaway
bySamsung recently revealed their latest Android smartphone, the Galaxy S III, and they’ll be celebrating with a launch party in Vancouver.
John Biehler, who is no stranger to mobile phone technology, has published a blog post with his first impressions:
For me, as of this moment, the S III seems to be the best Android experience available although I haven’t personally tried out the HTC One X which is another hot Android device right now.
I really like what Samsung has been doing with their devices lately and as I’ve been wanting for years, they are finally a true competitor for the Apple juggernaut. So many devices are marketed as an iPhone killer but fall so far short it’s not even funny. Not so with the S III. [Continue reading »]

Compact – can fit in my pocket
Functionality! I want my smartphone to be able to work well, fast and never freeze on me.
I look for a good user interface
User experience. Above the rest
Sleek design with a fast operating system.
A good UI above all else. If it’s not easy and intuitive to use, forget it.
would be real cool to win this one!
Easy task switching!
user-friendly and needs to be light weight (I always have my phone on me when running!)
screen size matters
I look for a responsive touch screen and a user-friendly interface. And a pretty, eye-catching design isn’t too bad either 😉
I look at the camera quality both front and back!
My favourite feature is when it’s designed by Sir Jonathan Ive.
Definitely responsiveness! There’s nothing like pressing a button then waiting two minutes!
Yes please! I can’t wait to get my hands on the S III!
I look for freedom, for a long time I used the iPhone, but got tired of always having to jailbreak my device to do what I want with it. Apple is heading down a slippery slope, so I jumped ship and now have the Samsung Galaxy Note “phablet” and friggin’ love it! Long live Samsung!
After reading through all the reasons, its interesting to see such a spectrum of things that people look for in a smartphone. Veeery iiiinteresting.

Fast OS so I can multitask on my phone.
Use friendliness – dont want to spend lots of time figuring out how different features work
I look for a good weight and size.

Responsiveness, battery life, sleekness (:
I look for a good, high pixel camera but without the phone being too heavy.
If it comes in Pink!!!
The most importand factors in a smart phone for me are battery life and the camera quality.
The perfect screen size, not too big not too small, will fit in your pocket without being uncomfortable. And, long battery life!
battery life, good camera, thin
Battery life and apps!

Screen resolution and processor speed! So excited for this phone 🙂
Gotta have Ice Cream Sandwich!

I do not have a smart phone so I do not know what I would like in a smart phone. But, it sure would be great to win one.
Responsive and large touch screen
Good graphics and easy to use.
Intuitive touch response.
reliable platform
must have gmail!
Definitely battery life!!

The smart phone feature I love the most is the ability to watch videos as I email or text just like the Samsung Galaxy S III! I can’t wait to go to the launch!
synchronicity of apps/functions
Great camera!!
Fast html5 webpage rendering
The thing I look for the most in a smartphone has to be smoothness of processor.
If the program lags and doesn’t process smoothly, the user experience is completely ruined.
I know few friends who had samsung galaxy II S and they were happy with their phone.
I would love to go to galaxy III launch party 😉 Pick me! hehe
It’s all about how well (quickly) I can type on it. That’s why I’ve held on to the Blackberry for so long. The Galaxy 3 looks like a dream; slick, slim and lots of cool features.
Reliability!
Love the design
I love taking photos everywhere I go, so it would have to be photo quality…cool phone
The smartphone has to be responsive. Lag kills the experience
Speed and easy to use!
Availability of free applications!
Thin and long battery life
Good battery
The ability to legally transform, modify and customize a phone’s software and hardware to your personal preference- that is theeeee number one feature I look for in a phone, and the Galaxy S3 seems to be one of top androids with this advantage.
I look for a fast operating system
Speed. Faster it is, the happier I am.
i generally look for a good ui and a decent camera
