Mobile World Congress 2012

Soo, stupidly I forgot about MWC 2012 being in just over a month.

I was going to get the Galaxy Nexus, but would it actually be a better idea to wait for MWC as there is surely going to be a bunch of new phones then?

Galaxy SIII and HTC Edge are two rumoured releases.

This actualy wasn't in my mind at all. Definitely something to consider for me as i'm looking out for a new phone myself.

I'm looking at the official site now, and it does look promising for announcements of many new products

Currently top of the range phones have been seen or heard of.. a few from HTC, Sony (and Sony Ericsson), Samsung and LG. Looks promising, excited myself since it should directly affect me!

I'll be interested to see what Samsung bring to the table, I really wasn't a fan of their phones, but ever since they took up Android they've been pumping out some nice products.

HTC I'm just disappointed with nowadays.

The problem with Samsung is I am not a massive fan of the iOS layout, and they successfully make it even worse. I just want a clean system of Android before having to root and install custom stuff. Hoping for some decent competitors to the Nexus asap - why aren't other companies offering on screen buttons (home, back menu or w/e) like the Nexus - all the leaks pictures still appear to show proper buttons :/

One can't help but think it's because it is a gimmick for now - not a necessity. Some people simply prefer buttons, and it doesn't really add anything to the phone experience.

It makes the phone look sexy

Not everyone wants a sexy wife, some want one that's practical and gets the job done

On screen buttons do both

See, I'm different, I prefer the hardware buttons so they're not taking up precious screen real estate!

And I'm not sure, Samsung's Touchwiz UI is very nice, it might not be everyone's cup of tea though... I recently went back from a stock ROM to Touchwiz in fact haha
