I just got my first Android phone (a 1ghz dual-core 512mb LG) and it its fuckin slow :( (my iPhone 3GS felt way way snappier).

Maybe it's the version of Android? I just got the HTC One X and everything flies on that phone. No delays or lag on anything. Best phone I've used to date (and I've had all iPhones except the 4s).

I find it quite ironic that the same site posted this article 2 weeks ago: http://www.bgr.com/2012/05/04/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-htc-oppor... Basically saying that the SGS3 looks like a dud and HTC is where it's at. HTC currently isn't able to import phones into the US.

Hmmm...

"Samsung’s new smartphone will launch on nearly 300 carriers in the coming months, and it will be a top seller."

I just read that article and it says nothing of the sort. It says the Galaxy S III will sell well, but it doesn't really innovate, thus opening the door for HTC to step up its marketing and sales strategy, and turn its struggling smartphone business around if it is up to the task.
