Samsung and WP8

[scottcraft]

How many features from the Galaxy S3 do you guys think Samsung will bring to WP8? I know android isn't the most popular thing around here, but the GS3 has some really impressive features that most phones don't have.

I have an unlocked/unbranded S2

I looked at the S3 the other day at an AT&T store. A couple of odd things i noticed was:

The 4.8" screen didn't look any bigger than my S2 with a 4.3" screen. When I held the phones side by side, the S3 has a much longer screen, but it really didn't seem any wider.

They really made the S3 thin. It looks beautiful without a case, but if you dropped it without a heavy duty Otterbox case, it would be over.

Burst Shot is a neat camera feature.

It has NFC, but i don't know if i would trust NFC. My wifes new Nokia 808 has NFC.

The S3 has an absolute killer feature, that never gets mentioned anywhere.

It has a 24bit DAC (Digital Audio Convertor?). Reviews indicate the quality of the audio is far better than pretty much any mobile.

I'll most likely go Nokia for WP8, but a Samsung with a 24bit DAC would make me think twice.

Some of the things the S3 has that I think are pretty neat: when texting someone hold the phone to your ear and it will call them, sharing pictures with other S3's over wifi, ability to hook the phone to an hdtv and bluetooth keyboard and mouse, playing video in a small window.

I think the phone has to be rooted for some of these things, like hooking the playstation controller to the phone.

I hate Samsung to b v v honest, but if u were to expand the question a little, in Motorola, I love Smart Actions and wireless pulling of files from the computer with Motocast?. Any way we will be doing this WP8. I'm asking this as many things are still under the cover.
