Samsung Galaxy SIII - Fail or win?

[Aditya]

   

Same car but different specs!
   
Specs-
Camera: 8 MP, 3264x2448 pixels, autofocus, LED flash
CPU : Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A9
RAM : 1GB

Without hands-on experience it would be pretty hard to tell how the device performs.
   

ahha . One of the most anticipated mobile phone has been released and my god , i cannot believe how much uproar it is brewing. People are complaining , visualizing and criticizing the phone. You know what, the phone is going to sell sooo well specially in UK that all of the previous records would be broken flat.
Although people are complaining about its design, although the premonition of the 8gb ram and the "impossible" specs visualized by the fan-boys proved wrong , it is still a pretty good phone.Blame the hype Samsung created by releasing misleading photos and the fake "leaks" that made us to held our hopes high (too high ,actually). Samsung should not follow Apple's trend of misguiding people and making them believe that the phone they are releasing is out of the world and its like no other. Android (Symbian too) is a geek's device and geeks don't expect/like a good looking slim phone in pink color from a manufacturer , what we like is a solid looking phone that can run anything we throw at it, what if it lagged 2 seconds , i don't give a single F for that. We/I(geeks) like the phone which is capable , powerful and somewhat efficient. Android and Symbian delivers that.
People end up like this after buying a Apple phone.
   

So SIII is really the next big thing on top of the stack and if you are a true geek, you are going to buy it sooner or later.

So, if for the same price you could buy a car that drives like a Ferrari but looks like a VW Beatle, or one that both drives and looks like a Ferrari you would be happy with the VW? Give me a break.

I'm a geek, not a sheep.

Agree about all the unreal expectations, however it's NOT unrealistic to expect the phone to have a great design & quality materials - as a flagship should! No reason you can't have a great looking phone with great specs, that satisfies the geek and the chic.

Should be able to look at this phone and say "Wow - I want that!".
