Indeed. I'm seriously considering buying out of my contract. Looking at the Prime, the only real advantage over SGSII is the screen

Yeah and 4.3 in is about the limit to screen sizes imo. 4.5 or 4.65 (as rumoured) is just too big

I've emailed Samsung asking if there will be NFC or not

don't know whether they will respond or be able to tell me

I doubt they would release one now. If they were going to I would have thought they would have announced it earlier today.

And I can't see them throwing another event without announcing something like the nexus prime

yup

perhaps they are sticking to their guns - from one angle consider how long the chip and pin change took

the infrastructure for NFC might not be around for a good 5 years yet

Very good point that

I'm now pretty sure I'm gonna buy out and go SGSII - might seem mad because the contract ends so soon but

it means the phone is 'newer' if you get what I mean

go for it!

yeah, if you wait 3 months, you may as well wait for the new SG III

yeah, exactly

just remembered - MC for Android should be appearing reasonably soon.

nice
