Anyone feel like that the Galaxy 3 should have came out with a 5.0" screen instead of 4.8"? I feel like that a 4.8" screen is still too small to do things like access office documents or remotely connect to a PC from our GS3. Can anyone else think about what the GS3 should have came with in terms of specs?

I'm content with 4.8"
You might want to look into the Galaxy Note if u need something bigger

5.0" is definitely too big. Even 4.8" is too big for my thumb to easily reach the top left of the screen. I'd recommend getting a Galaxy Note if you want something bigger.
The only problem is that there is no galaxy note for sprint.

GALAXY note 2 being announced the 16th
go buy a tablet!
I really wanted the note but did not like the UI. The Note is not just a bigger phone, it is a whole different beast.
I would have liked a bigger screen then 4.8.
The GS3 is the biggest phone I'll ever convince myself to own.

no.
I started with the HTC hero and thought the size was good, then I got the Epic which had a 4" screen. Now I thought 4" was big and told myself I don't need any bigger, then epic touch comes out with 4.5" screen, and I grew really fond of it. Now this device comes out with 4.8" and I think this is definitely the largest I'm going.
The note is freaking huge and yes, I've played with it. The screen is nice, but when you're using the phone up to your head, when it's really big, it starts looking, well, stupid.

Definitely not; I already think 4.8" is a bit too large. The kind of tasks you want to do would be far better suited for the Nexus 7.
4.8 is actually pretty big
but it doesnt FEEL big lol.
that note 2 sounds pretty good. hopefully it's a couple feet in diagonal (sarcasm)

Yeah, me too.....If there were a way to have a bigger screen but a smaller phone that would be perfect, but I don't think I'd want to hold anything bigger.

Every one who sees my phone always comments how big the screen is. If the screen was any bigger it wouldn't appeal to the masses.

Eh, all the AMOLED tablets pretty much suck since they're stuffed with Touchwiz (tablet version sucks) which slow them down incredibly.
And the difference between AMOLED and LCD is really miniscule, so unless you care about blacks being a little bit deeper, it doesn't matter.
If you don't believe me, go to a store and try the Nexus 7 - - Once you actually see the screen, you'll be able to make a clear decision.
I play guitar, and also recently jumped to a Gnex. I'm just curious, has anyone else found that your calices make it hard to use (like the touchscreen is uncomfortable)? This doesn't really matter, I'm just kinda curious.
Edit - Yes, I realize how strange a question this is.

i also play, but my thumbs are not callused so it doesnt affect me all that often. sometimes when i pinch to zoom using my left hand i have to either press a little harder, or change the angle of my hand to use the fleshier part of my index finger...but my guess is this is with most touch screens
I figured this wasn't a question even worthy of Q&A so I put it here... But, yeah, I've only found this to happen on my Gnex. Odd.
Maybe a screen protector?

my fingertipps are completely screwed up from guitar and ukulele, but it feels great when you swipe, its more buttery that way. normal fingers can get stuck sometimes, at least if they're not the total dry sort.

There is a guitarist thread in android off topic in the main forum .
I don't see how you have issue I always use my guitar pick hand not the fret hand. The fret hand is where all the roughness is. Unless you play flamenco.

My God reading this thread is like being in a universe where no one knows how to spell calloused properly. D:
Anyway my right thumb is pretty calloused from opening my knife a lot so it has become less sensitive on the screen. I have learned to rotate my thumb to use the non-calloused part to use it though.

I normally use my picking hand on my phone, not my fretting hand. But trying it the other way around isn't more difficult to me at least.

The S-Pen on mine Note 2 doesnt seem to "click" in place. It seemed a bit loose to me at first, but I tried my hubbies N2, and it was the same looseness/feeling.
It isn't 'loose' by any means and it wouldnt fall out by itself. Just slides in and out easily.

I actually have a question about its tip. The end tip looks like a little loose in mine so when it touches the screen the tip gets into the pen. I am not sure it is defective. Please check yours to see if the tip is firm and not moving in and out. Thanks.

The tip going in and out is how the pen can detect the level of pen pressure you place onto the screen. It's the same design as a wacom drawing tablet (which is where Samsung went and got their digitizer technology from).
Is this pen's fit will become loose if you use it too much? I am kinda afraid to use alot.

Use it for 2 weeks straight than pick up a phone with a <5" screen. I can't even use my LGOG, s3, OGevo or wife's photon, it's like playing with a kids toy. Then again I'm 6'7" and my hands look like tennis racquets.

Rarely. Operating it with one hand while trying to type can be tough, but that's the only complaint I've had.
I find the size troublesome about 5 minutes a week, which is worth the tradeoff of loving the size the other 6 days, 23 hours, and 55 minutes.

The note 3 may have a flexi display, samswas showing them off at CES already which means they're already ready to go into mass production.

People we are all different by design, just because you're tall with big hands doesn't mean you carry a big screen device, vice versa. People carry the phones they do because they like it physical differences are irrelevant. If you don't like the device then you shouldn't keep it past the return period,I think it's safe to say people communicating in a note II specific forum don't find the device size an issue......

Three weeks with this thing, and it just seems to get easier and easier to hold. The first and second day was a little painful, especially when I tried one handed use like I did with my Nexus 4, and then I realized that it wasn't possible. With that in mind, it is perfectly fine.

Yeah I'm actually the same height and from time to time I feel the same way. It's only when I'm using it one handed, which my hand can manage easily and reach across the screen.. but only by holding the phone precariously, which becomes annoying sometimes.especially considering how big my damn hands are. Everything is so damn pleasing about the phone though that it's hard to really dwell on that. It's only occasionally though, I feel you.
