That would make Samsung an undisputed smartphone leader as the second-placed Apple reportedly experienced a drop in its sales and shipped 30 million units compared to 35 million in Q1.

Jelly Bean source code released in AOSP | MobileSyrup.com.
This is great news! And a few days earlier than expected too. Google had given a mid-July time frame.
Bring on the custom Jelly Bean ROMs!!!

Better grab it quickly. $6 million bucks and you can have your own blackberry jet – a 1999 Dassault Falcon 50EX 9 seater!
So someone got their brand new Galaxy SIII wet, then tried to dry it by microwaving it. The phone explodes, they complain to Samsung, and the story gets international coverage for days!!!!
Then Samsung pays a bunch of $$ to investigate the issue, figures out what happened, and then the owner says “sorry, stupid mistake!”

Samsung Galaxy S III launch details reveal multiple models, official device of 2012 Olympics.
In addition, there could be simultaneous launch events in New York City, Seoul and Dubai according to our source. We are also told that the Samsung Galaxy S III will come in two color options, one in blue and black, and a second in white. There will be 16GB and 32GB models as well, and additional specs include a 1080p HD display, a quad-core Exynos processor and integrated 4G LTE.
This is new information – 2 colour choices at launch:
1. Blue and Black
2. All White.
This sounds very plausible based on the photo used for the May 3rd invitation. Simultaneous launch in New York suggests that U.S. carrier deals / model variants are in place.
I see the 1080P display rumour still seems to be alive. I’m still skeptical about that, but SOOO hopeful that I’m wrong and we really see 1920 X 1080 resolution.
This is getting very exciting. Over the next 17 days I expect several more rumours to leak, but they will be real leaks telling us actual final details of the best phone released to humanity yet.
FANTASTIC! Great Great news to wake up to on a Monday morning.
The Samsung Galaxy S III and possibly other Galaxy devices will be officially unveiled by Samsung at an event in London on May 3rd. There is also talk that Samsung may announce that the phone will start selling in many major markets around the world on May 22.
The press invite says “Come and Meet the Next Galaxy”.
To me that strongly suggests that the SGS 3 may not be called the Galaxy S “3″ any more!!! Is Samsung going to take Apple’s lead and stop adding version numbers to their product naming? I think there is a very good possibility! I’d place a bet on it. Maybe they will even introduce it as simply The New Samsung Galaxy S!
Samsung will live-stream the entire presentation at www.facebook.com/samsungmobile Put it in your calendars (May 3rd 2pm EST.)
Hilarious. To each his own however. I can’t fault the guy if he’s tried different ROM varieties and Samsung Touchwiz ends up being his favourite.

I’m willing to bet that these SGS3 specs are spot-on.

That about covers it. There is a very strong chance we are looking at the final specs of the SGS3 superphone
CyanogenMod 7.2 comes to 70 devices with over 20 new features.
I can’t wait to try this on my SGS2. This will be the last Gingerbread ROM I ever run. I’m quite surprised that the CM team has been working on gingerbread till now. ICS source has been out for 3 months already. But it is a good thing, as far more phones out there can support gingerbread than ICS.
