Samsung Galaxy S III launching May 3rd

Journalists have been receiving invitations for a Samsung event on May 3rd, in which the company will launch the Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone.

The invitation simply reads "come and meet the next Galaxy" with a 2PM EST start time on May 3rd.

Samsung has still not officially named the device, but calling it the SGIII is a logical progression from its predecessors.

The alleged specs of the new smartphone are that it will be smaller and narrower than its predecessor at 131 x 64 x 8 mm. The device will weigh just 0.27 pounds, as well.

Featured specs are a large 4.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus display with 1280 x 720 resolution, a 1.5Ghz quad-core Samsung processor, 1GB RAM, Android 4.0.x, dual-cameras (12MP/1.3MP), 32GB internal storage and a decently sized 1750 mAh battery.

I'm still on a 2 year contract with my Vibrant, looks like I get to skip a generation! Fair warning, Samsung is horrible at updates, whatever comes on the phone is what you get, unless you want to root it and go that route. I still like it over my work phone (the Droid X) which Verizon bloated to hell, but I refuse to root a work phone.

If your company bought phones and contracts seperately you wouldnt have this trouble. As someone connected with itsupport I can understand their reasoning - updating of anything always leads to increased support costs"
