pkmusd wrote:

News for Samsung guys, S4 is confirmed to be launches in February 2013 with a bigger screen size.. I dont' know why they want to make it galaxy note that even doesnt fit in your pocket and doesn't look beautiful in your hands.

On the other hands, following apple's global strategy to reduce iphone 4s price yesterday I saw a flyer from Jarir inwhich they have reduced 4S price by 500SAR.

However, em gonna wait for Iphone 5.. during 1st two weeks it will be pricey considering the demand..
so  I will wait for price to be nromalzied in a month.. and then buy it it for ~3000. Not planning to spend more..

Even one of my friend's cousin is comign from Canada but the thing is that it would be without warranty.. which is again a risk.. coz with electronics you cannot guarantee. I bought a new Ipad from Jarir and the homebutton was not working.. I took it to them and they got me a new one in a weeks time.

So, I will get it from here with the local warranty..

S3 at jarir right now is 2399 with 3 months of 5gb data at 600 say plus 100 say of stuff.

S3 is SR. 2,199 at the Extra. I paid SR. 2,499 a couple of months back. :/

I-Phone 4S is 2599.

Freshlikesushi

That makes it 1700 sar for an s3.

If you are looking for a new phone and you don't get it. You are literally an idiot.

Had a hands on experience of iphone 5 (display phone at a UK retailer) Not much change compared to iphone 4/4s. It is slimmer but once you have a protective case size will change. Doesn't feel like a new model so if your current iphone is meeting your needs no need to upgrade. Cost has gone up by £30 for 16 Gb model unlocked.

Unlikely, it is a significant one off cost of £530.

If you need flexibility go for Android, if you want class, elegance, cool design than its iphone. However, everyone have their own views.
