[h=1]Galaxy S3 takes No. 1 position in smartphone market: research[/h]<span class="articleLocatio</span>n">(Reuters) - Samsung Electronics' Galaxy S3 became the world's best-selling smartphone model last quarter, pushing aside Apple Inc's iPhone, which has dominated the chart for more than two years, research firm Strategy Analytics said on Thursday.

Strategy Analytics estimated Samsung sold 18 million S3 models in the third quarter, compared with iPhone 4S sales of 16.2 million.
Strong sales of the flagship Galaxy S3 - which comes with a large 4.8 inch touchscreen - helped Samsung post a record $7.3 billion operating profit in the July-September quarter.
"Samsung's Galaxy S3 has proven wildly popular with consumers and operators across North America, Europe and Asia," said analyst Neil Mawston, adding the new iPhone 5 would likely reclaim the top spot for Apple in the current quarter. (Reporting by Tarmo Virki; Editing by David Holmes)

I am definitely in the market for a phone soon.. my droid x is becoming more and more out-dated even though I have the latest android on it even.

I have a Galaxy S 4G phone and it totally sucks..Have had nothing but problems with the memory chip in it

I hear Galaxy 3 are great phones.

But the numbers are skewed, with all the people that were holding out for an iphone 5 over 4s.

of course there's plenty that i still have to learn about it ( only have it for about 3 weeks ) the Only knock I have right now... and maybe it's the norm, is when you text and the words start coming up.. it starts to spell a word I'm really not typing.... but it gets there...
with my last phone ( Thunderbolt ) I thought it came up with the words faster. Other than that Love it...
S Voice works great, and finds things fast.

I just need to play around with it more and also see what Apps or programs I don't need running when in Use.
Also the App that Murphy told me about to use on the RX ( Dolphin ) works great and very fast... just need to learn how to copy and paste.

Samsung has done a great job with this phone, and I am now thinking of getting their Samsung Note 10.1 tablet

in the past never Liked their Phones, but they did a Great job with these latest gadgets.

I love my galaxy S3, bought it straight up just recently after world series.

had the S2 but it was laggy.
Samsung finally made a great phone, fast, fluid, and slick.

u should select and hold a spot on the screen... and then it will kinda select a portion but have a left and right end to it where u can click each end and drag it to hover around the area u want copied.... and then when u want to paste select a box or text input area by holding it on the screen until it pops up to select all/cut/copy/paste and choose paste

im pretty sure that same method would work on ur phone as dolphin should look 95% the same for all androids.

Yeah that's the way i did it with my Thunderbolt... but for some reason it didn't work that way the other day when i tried.

I'll try again.. play around with it. Thanks

hmm..

from dolphins faq's and help page http://dolphin-browser.com/dolphin-for-android-phone-faqs/

it says the following (but only explains how to copy a url... although the same press method works in a web page to select portions of the text when i do it)
" How do I copy / paste? Where is the clipboard?

To copy text or copy URL, please hold on the address you want to copy, and a menu will come out, choose “Select text” or “Copy page url”. To Paste, you can hold on the textbox where you want to paste the text in, a menu will come out, choose “paste”. “Text copied to clipboard” is a notification that you have copied the text/ url successfully.

"

hopefully its just a little bit of playing with it and u will be able to use the feature.. i would be quite at a loss without copy and paste for sure!
