I think the S2 sold around 11 million?

Edit: seems like it's 20 million, holy crap.

 

[LinuxMan]

any idea how much it will retail for the S3? or is it worth waiting for the S2 pricing to drop?

But Samsung is only one of many Android vendors, HTC, and Sony, etc, also have models selling well.

Not to even mention all the other Samsung models.

The S3 is gonna be BIG in SA. Hopefully the S3 and HTC One X will be decently priced :wtf:

Slap in the face to Apple that they're releasing in Germany first, after Apple got the Germans to ban a few Samsung devices including the Tab. Good one Samsung.

The gsmarena review make it sound like the most amazing phone ever, like there's nothing else you'd ever need in a phone. I'm sure it's going to be big success.
