Theres a phone almost identical to sgh-t989 that has a much better screen but I think it lacks sd card. Youd have to get into the tablets the Asus transformer prime looks dope

You'll get bored of the amaze quickly, with the lack of support and average battery life. Camera is awesome though.
Try the gn or the note which apparently can use our h+ network now? Someone exploited it or something.
Why don't you play with different launchers or something? That'll keep you entertained just a bit longer.
I would stay away from htc phones until they prove themselves worthy again. Or get a wp8 phone

Maybe I'll try a wp8....something different. I played with all the launchers already. And lol that's the very reason I wanna go to a amaze because of the camera. The note is a little to big for my chops. I might as well activate voice calling on my tab lol.

I just got mine today as well, after talking myself out of it since it's release...mainly because of lack of removable storage, signal issues, and camera quality. I'm not having any signal issues despite the fact that I live in a generally poor reception area, camera isn't as bad as I was expecting, and I think I can live without the MicroSD slot in exchange for the sheer beauty of this phone. The materials also feel nicer than I thought they would. The OS is a surprisingly big improvement over 2.3, enough that I think i'll actually wait a bit before flashing any ROM's. Very very nice...

I've had mine for a week now...
And I'm happy with it... NO CARRIER BLOAT, faster updates direct from Google, etc. I have to admit, however, that I was skeptical that it could replace my SGSII (T989) but I'm happy to say it was eBay'd this morning. And after seeing the SGSIII, I'm glad I didn't wait and I'm not looking back.
I like these threads Just got mine the other day, too. Sold an iPhone 4s and have no regrets. This is the first time I've used 4G and its great when I'm away from wifi. The ability to customize just about everything on these devices with Android won me over.

If ur phone is new u can't judge battery life immediately, give it a few days. Plus, update to 4.0.4, i was getting 4hrs on 4.0.2 and now it's over 5hrs screen on every charge, using stock 1750mAh.

Do you guys think it is worth buy a used epic touch and getting rid of my nexus s I'm told the epic touch isn't much better than a nexus s? I was also told its a pain to flash but could it be more than a pain than the epic 4g i used to have? Please your thoughts.

Ok its better than nexus.
Flashing is as easy as it can be if you follow word to word instructions and make sure you are on a safe kernel.
I would not trade my e4gt for any older phone. So.. I would get it. Its your decision in the end.

The epic touch is a damn good phone. I never had the Nexus S so I can't compare it but I will say I'm very happy with it. Its easy to flash and work with and gets decent battery life.

It's a better phone than the s but it's a hard time to recommend buying another phone. I don't think it's enough of an upgrade that I wouldn't wait a few months to see what's dropping for the holidays. What specifically aren't you happy about on the s?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
That I have to agree with. The new nexus will be dropping before long. Might want to wait and see what it is and such before using your upgrade.

I recommend the Epic 4G Touch. It's not 720p like some newer phones but the SAMOLED+ is amazing.
It's super snappy, plenty of RAM, enough built in memory, awesome camera.
IMO it is the iPhone killer.
Sent from my piece of crap Zio until i get my E4GT back from Samsung, using XDA Premium app
Epic 4g Touch is a great phone. My only gripes are that resolution could be a little larger for how big the screen is and the radio could be a little stronger (but part of that's sprints issues). I guess no lte either but that won't be available for a while anyways. But other than that its an awesome, correct me if I am wrong but I think it was the best phone on the market for a while. It may not be as fast as the latest and greatest phones but its good enough for me.

what phone should I get? I was thinking about the Galaxy Nexus or the S3. and the new Photon 4 G L T E is definitely out of the question since they lock that down tight! I'm kind of leaning towards S3. I would like to get to peoples thoughts and opinions on this before I make the decision. since I don't have any of these phones.

No. I can personally attest to the fact that the GPS on the S3 is very, very good. I don't know what you mean by the surf antenna, but I do know that it utilizes GLONASS. Locks consistently in under 3 seconds, accuracy within 6 feet most of the time.

I have a couple co workers that have the s3, one on Verizon and one on Sprint and its pretty damn awesome. We travel for work so I had the one who has Sprint use GPS and it seems to work great along with great battery life on a bigger better screen. And he gets faster download speeds too. I'm personally holding out for the next Nexus which should be here this fall hopefully or close to the holidays, but you have another upgrade coming so you are good. One good thing to do is just go to the store and play with them as long as you want then maybe wait a day or two, to be sure.

Yeah, the question wasn't if it's cooler, it was if it's worth it.
I mean, don't be blind, you add so and so money and you get less than so and so value. That was my intention. To tell the truth.
It is cooler, but it's more breakable, my phone has similar features, bla bla bla.
Don't get all "Appley" on me but with Samsung, it's also wrong to be blinded by one company... Even if it's not Apple...

Absolutely I think its worth it! I was skeptical because I loved my old htc, but I am so glad I moved up to the GS3.
If it were me looking for a new device, I would check out the Note 2 before making a decision. I think itll be out soon.

Can't go wrong with this phone!
Apsolutely worth it. The S3 is the best smarty phone I've ever had! I just paid $177. to have my screen repaired after I dropped and cracked it. I love this device. Love it.
Did I mention how much I love it?
Well I came from the Gnex and I really like this phone. Touchwiz wasn't too bad but I needed that AOSP back. After flashing Paranoid Android I'm loving this phone a little more than my Gnex. It was with the switch to me. Don't get me wrong though, having the nexus was awesome!

+1. Got the S3 and slapped ParanoidAndroid on it with faux's Ultimate kernel. Hybrid mode on the size of this screen is wonderful. With the dual core S4, and PA with faux's kernel, I can't think of a better phone to have right now.
