Will keep updating this thread as more info comes.
 
Nice to see.........now we will see how many preorder in first week !!!

I guess 10 million, there will enough nerds to break this record :)
 
overall good, but was expecting slightly different design, they've been carrying the same design over three generations now. Also the display should have been 1280x720.
 
Not really attracting. No NFC Either. and no good features like the s3. Same old home screen. :ashamed:

Apple site updated as well but still no news on the contract free price. My guess 695$
 
As someone mentioned in other thread, full pricing might mostly be 649$ / 749$ / 849$ for the 16/32/64 GB models + TAX
 
Will wait for 2 things.
1) A full scale review on it ...expecting surprises like the new iPad.
2) Expecting a rain of cases against apple by samsung to take the bitter sweet revenge. :). So far S3 is thumbs up.
 
Saw the pin connector.. what are the chances of it breaking if handled improperly ?

This was being billed as the biggest hyped up iphone uncovering ever..
Seriously.. which conference of theirs isnt ? Everytime the hype is there... and with such 'improvements' coming close on the heels of the lawsuit against the rectangle shape.. i think consumers should sue samsung/htc if they let apple get away with LTE thing.
 
I am still unable to understand why everyone is saying samsung will sue apple on LTE and all. If samsung can sue apple then why they did not do when new iPad was launched ? It had an LTE version too right ?
Would appreciate if someone can enlighten me on this.
 
^^So that they can sue Apple for two products together I suppose. Apple has also recently purchased a lot of LTE patents, it will be interesting to see how this battle will turn out.
 
There was this time when every time there was a new Apple keynote, there would be something totally new and innovative. But now there are no surprises. Apple has just carried on the same old design with very little changes.
