There are other things that matter such as refresh rate, color gamut reproduction, total colors, efficiency, contrast..there is mroe to thigns then just higher resolution and 3d that are just as important if not more important...

yes, I know they are 2 megapixels. And I can guarantee you it won't be 90% in 2D. I would guess 90% in 3D. Since the phone can convert a 3D picture to 2D whenever you want, I would be surprised if anyone actually took 2D pictures most of the time. certainly not 90% of them.

most people use facebook to post pics..or places like imageshack..do they support 3d image format? and when you convert them to 2d..will it be 2mp or 3mp?

I am pretty sure most people don't limit their video chats to ONLY Sprint customers. And limited space as in a 4 inch screen. What good is a 2 megapixel camera for video chats if the other poerson only has a 4 inch wvga screen? Again, please tell me the advantage that this 2 megapixel front camera has. You have never seen a picture from the HTC, and gave the sammy a definite advantage based entirely on the extra megapixels that will never be used.

You do realize skype for example where most of video chatting is done is PC to PC..and Cell phone to PC is going to be like half the convos? not just cellphoen to cellphone..not to mention some people have tablets with higher resolutions too..

Well then, I guess a so freaking what is in order. I don't want encrypted nand, and neither do all the people who just flooded HTC's facebook for an encrypted bootloader. It's a bad thing, not an advantage.

*facepalm* Encrypted nand IS NOT bootloader related..what it means is YOUR personal data is encrypted to prevent people from stealing it if your phone gets a virus or is stolen or some app tries to get more info then it should..its is VITAL for all business users..as things like this can prevent your corporate secrets from being stolen! It also helps individuals protect their information..

You are dead wrong. Like I said, if Samsung wants to do business in the USA, they have to follow USA rules. And don;t kid yourself, if the USA told Samsung "We are banning all of your products in this country." Samsung would be on the verge of going out of business. They do the lions share of their business here. And if they were banned, their competitors would pick up that market share. So as Samsung got weaker, their competitors would simultaneously get stronger.

First of all..even if the entire USA were to ban every single samsung product..samsung would not go out of business..it would definitely hurt yes...but not out of business..most of Samsungs sales are outside the US...

Now..Samsung is a monopoly outside the US..and have support of their government..this gives them advantages...the US will not intervene in another countries affairs..its not their place to..all US will regulate is Samsung USA branch...this branch does not sell components though..Samsung Korea does..which is outside of their regulation.

Again, running out of inventory is not the same thing as using an illegal monopoly to gain an unfair advantage. If Samsung runs out of screens, thats fine. If Samsung tells HTC "We know you ordered a bunch of these chips and we agreed to provide them, but we decided to throw away the million Galaxy S 2 phones we made and use your order in our phones instead, so that way our phone is better than yours..." That is illegal. And if they did that, the WTO and ITC would be all over samsung.

The USA does not dictate, no. But the WTO and the ITC both DO dictate all over the world. You are totally wrong about this and I suggest you research it a bit before you comment any further. Samsung can be a monopoly in Korea all they want. But as soon as they start selling products outside of Korea they are bound to international laws and rules.

no thats not what happens..here is what happens..Samsung invents new technology..makes the chips (these chips ARE NOT FOR SALE) and uses them in their OWN devices..HTC and other OEMs CANNOT buy this component for a few months after..but it takes time to plan..hence they either use older components or order from someone else...either way samsung has an advantage by using unreleased components that no one else can get their hands on.

Are you kidding me? That happens like every day in the USA. Get charged with a crime, take a plea bargain, and get a slap on the wrist for punishment. Man, look at pretty much any celebrity that gets charged with a crime. Even Lindsay Lohan got like 10 chances before she finally went to jail. It literally happens every day.

no plea bargain, he admitted it flat out and is not getting punished...hes just above the law there :/

HTC didn't need to do that because they already had official support from Cyanogen anyway. I don't know if you are aware of this (probably are) but Cyanogen ROMs did not have Galaxy S support. HTC phones always have, and always will have Cyanogen support.

Ok, your misunderstanding again..

first of all Samsung already had CM support, not as long as HTC of course but HTC was the first device Cyanogen owns hence HTC got support, that said many devices outside of HTC had support as well just lesser known brands, Cyanogen now own an LG phone...

second of all, this isn't limited to CM..they sent A BUNCH of free phones out to developers...so now developers dont need to beg for donations to get their new phone so they can develop for it.. Samsung will provide them with new phones...no OEM did this before...and whats better is if they brick their phones..Samsung has top notch warranty...aka I can take my phone and smash it against the wall and Samsung will replace it to me free of charge...HTC will give me the option of buying a new one at FULL retail value..or hold my phone hostage until I pay them 27$ for return shipping...

And if you read the comments on engadget and the other sites who published this..a HUGE amount of people said they are now gonna skip the Evo 3D to get the SGS 2 when it hits the US because of this...
