Learn to type, then learn to read. Apollo will be opening up interop access which means alot of the restrictions that made Windows Phone 7 so secure, at the expense of the consumer, will be lifted. I just hope they have a good plan to keep security high.

Seriously. I like what im seeing with the windows handsets, and I have a feeling Apple's going to introduce something awesome this year. HTC's ONE series is the only Android thing impressing me right now.

Yeah, I agree. The SGS3 got impressive benchmarks and probably is the fastest droid out there, but it didn't capture my heart like how the SGS2 did.

I'll probably get the OneX (RGB screen) or the Xperia S (8MP). I was hoping the SGS3 would obliterate them in my list, but I now I feel like thinking about a Note too.

Phones are constructed weeks or months in advance of their sale date (as are most consumer products!), yet software is typically a constantly updating thing. Every smartphone I've purchased in the last 3 years has had a software update out of the box to get it to the latest version, since the manufacturer can't put the software on the phone while it's in its box

i get they need updates but htc has always left something out with in their builds the evo horrible batter and glitchy couldnt mirror like it was supposed to evo 3d updated 5 times 3 weeks after release and still ended up being a horrible device htc sensation i loved it but htc boot up screen shot when hitting home too much lag with sense htc mytouch slide 3g horrible memory capacity mostly for all these battery life has been poor selling phones for the past 5 years for just about every company has shown me this

@Lboogey6
No no no. I'm not saying the HTC One X and Xperia S are better phones than the SGS3.

What I'm saying is the SGS3 isn't too far ahead compared to other flagships.

When the SGS2 was released, it was the undisputed king of the Android realm, only to be dethroned by it's bigger brother, the Note.

Now, the SGS3 is not too far ahead of its competitors.

oh really? No rather, Android nails Windows Phone on fragmentation and lagginess.

What do you care about "free" since you still pay for the device, not the Android itself?

There are custom ROM's for Windows Phone too, and Homebrew apps.

I wouldn't say "lack of hardware" since the phones are doing really well for themselves, you're just looking at a really optimized OS (Windows Phone) and comparing it to a Really unoptimized OS (Android) which more often than not need all that horse power to function smoothly. And I do actually believe I've seen a CPU and GPU in there somewhere.

And the multitasking is there, not just the same way as in Android :-) But hey, instead no force-closing of apps, freezes or surprising reboots comes out of it. Windows Phone is just really, Really stable.

He's a well known Windows Phone jealous guy here.
