Father's Day is coming, so is the S3 and Evo LTE. My contract expired in April and I'm eligible for an upgrade. So my wife asked me, do you want me to gift you the S3...
I am perfectly happy with the S2 and beside the NFC of S3 I'm not too thrilled. The question is: (a) get the S3 or wait for something special might pop up around Christmas time?
I would get the s3. Even just to play around with on wifi if you want to use your e4gt still. I plan to do this, as I get (ok) wimaxx but am not anywhere near any of the first roll out areas for lte. Just my suggestion. This phone is great, but I want to play with that new too lol. If you are near lte tho then it is no question. S3 imo.

there already a few threads open about this fellas..
It's the next "big thing" so I would get it unless you are considering the iPhone 5. You could always get it and sell it on Craigslist for like $600 and keep your S2.
I don't know, the ET4g and sprint in general have left a bad taste in my mouth with radio issues... I'm thinking my next phone will be a HTC or maybe a moto.

I agree im im thinking of getting the s3 just to play with it until lte hits Miami my upgrade is up on July 7 but I really love the features of the s3 plus I think there's going to be killer developing going on on that phone but for now im sticking with Wimax im always on 4g getting between 10-16mbps

I think the new evo is a great phone, hardware and screen are great. Just the ui and HTC in general is not my style. The wife has HTC though, and loves it. So I'll get to play with both on July 1st when our upgrades are eligible.

Man I would LOVE those speeds. I'm at around 3.5-4.5mbps on a good day. 3g is horrid tho, under .1 sometimes, as high as .4 rarely. In the process of reading up on the PRL tweaks tho, that should help a lot on my 3g. But I'm that guy that reads everything about stuff before I try it, so I'm slow

My strategy is, IF I get the s3 (kinda doubtful), the decision that would make the most sense, would be to WAIT until LTE is fully deployed and active in your area. If not, you will be stuck on 3g for quite a while until it happens, whenever that might be. Don't be in a rush. I know how hard that is to practice when you're a xda kind of person, but that makes the most sense to me on many areas. So many people are very frustrated with 3g performance lately, it wouldn't be logical to force yourself into that mode for god knows how long. For me, the deal breaker is the camera with the not such a big deal improvements done to it. Yes, faster camera is better but no substantial improvements with low light, better f stop, I will pass. When I had it, I loved the iPhone 4s camera, but the cons outweighed the pros IMO. Even if you have to wait up to another year for LTE, the s4 might be around then and I would hope that one would be a lot better than the 3. With my experiences with a couple of htcs, they are too temperature sensative and prone to hardware failure issues when compared to all the samsungs I've owned. I'm not a Samsung fan either, I've just had much less problems with them and they're much easier to do custom things to like rooting and roms.
Besides, you said it yourself, you're happy with what you have already. Also, pentile s3 screen, eww.
Well if you know you want that phone get it asap so your new contract starts being used asap.... Means new upgrade sooner down the road. I just got mine in October or whenever the iphone came out. Personally the s3 and the galaxy nexus are the only two phones that I would consider over the et4g. As you can tell I am alittle partial to Samsung as all my previous phones who weren't Samsung I've had problems with excluding the HTC sensation

Title says it all. I'm up for upgrade as of right now and I think it's about time to move to a different device.
What do you suggest?
The 2 best looking phones there IMO is the evolution 3d and the epic touch the evo design my cousin and her boyfriend have and they have lot of problems. But if I had to pick I would wait a little longer because the galaxy nexus is coming to sprint if you look on their main page

If it had to be a now thing.. can't go wrong with the Samsung Galaxy S ll, Epic 4G Touch. However... I am in the same boat (new phone time!), but I am waiting to see what they announce this quarter and the future of LTE.
Dallas, Atlanta, Houston and San Antonio are slated to be the first to go LTE, so if you are in those areas it might behoove you to see what comes out. Right now the Galaxy Nexus and LG Viper are upcoming LTE phones.
I'm leaning toward the Epic 4G Touch as LTE means nothing to me. My area doesn't even have WiMAX (now it never will). And from what I read, the E4GT will get official ICS Q1 2012 anyway. That right there pretty much evens the playing field between the two phones.
Still interested in hearing your opinions though.
Levels the playing field?
What about the fact that Gnex is pure Google without the ugly Twiz UI? And will get regular updates thru Google ?

Is that "feature" alone enough to justify a probable $100 price premium for the Gnex vs E4GT? For me, it's not.

I might have to do that. It'll be more than $199 for sure, but hopefully it won't be a hunk of garbage like it sounds like the Epic 4G Touch is.

My only complaint is pentile display but its no biggie any more.

Basically this thread can be merged with this thread
[Article] Sprint's network sucks (nothing that wasn't known before)
On a serious note, the speeds were about the same on 3g and wifi.
Nexus had slightly faster uploads on 3g/wifi. E4GT had slightly faster download avg on 3g. They are roughly tied for download on wifi. None of the numbers were very impressive, but that is the fault of the network rather than the phone.
Further supports my decision to stick with the E4GT for now. I need to be blown away in order to even contemplate switching.
Thanks to qbking for the video and sfhub for the recap.

Debatable.
While we will always take better download speeds, upload is used when browsing the web etc as well so having a better balance between them could give better real world usage results.

See I guess I'm one of the lucky ones, I never seem to struggle with my data connection unless I'm just in the middle of the boondocks (and in Alabama, that could be anywhere lol) and typically at that point I'm driving, not trying to browse the web. Around town and the cities where my family lives and I visit often I always get a quick connection so, again, just not enough of a difference for me. But for others it might be more than enough.
The overall specs of the Nexus just don't seem like a huge step up from the E4GT, not nearly enough for me to jump on it without waiting to see what else might be in store in the nearish future (SGSIII).

There's no doubt that, if you don't need a new phone now, waiting for the SGS3 is going to be a better decision.
But, if you have the money or whatever, going from the SGS2 to the Galaxy Nexus IS a bit of a spec bump.

If I recall correctly the GPU in the Galaxy Nexus is a bit better.
But yes, LTE and Screen are the two noticable upgrades.
LTE will be relatively significant by the end of the year and into next...
And I can only conclude that the screen upgrade is huge for a lot of people since SO many people buy phones based on the screen.
A pure Google experience with on screen buttons (with no need to root and flash) is also apart of the package.

The ET4G is the best phone I have ever owned and I don't think I have had a close 2nd. It has the best Touchwiz features the OG Epic has if you run rooted stock. Its virtually impossible to make the phone lag and battery is twice as good as my Epic was...no joke.

Ya, thats pretty much what I thought. The E4GT is way to close in specs with the Gnexus to throw away an upgrade that could bring me a much more superior phone!
I'd be curious to hear from our recent deserters (hah!) if they've been experiencing the data issues that have been reported and what their overall opinion of the phone is in comparison to the E4GT.
We've heard from Overstew, who went over and came back, and I think his opinion would've been mine as well, but would love to hear from others.
I played with the Galaxy Nexus for 2 days. It is a great phone, but I like my Epic 4G Touch better.

I love the nexus....some things are better and some not... Love the resolution of the screen...love that I can put a recovery on it team win recovery and it stays...no matter what kernel I flash...the battery life is similar to what e4gt is getting on ics but the epic touch kills it with gb.... Maybe ics is just not as good battery wise.... Love boot manager as I have aokp, cm9 , miui, and paranoid android all installed.....to me as a flash a holic I love the nexus ....doesn't seem like a bad choice since sprint won't have a quad core any time soon.... to me evo lte and galaxy 3 are just not that much better than epic touch or the nexus to warrant a upgrade
The main thing better for me is the signal strength is much better than my epic touch in low signal areas...

Went to the sprint store today to play with the nexus and I must say there was either something wrong with the one I was using or that phone is a mess. I got nothing but lock ups and force closes. Could not get into the facial unlock it just kept force closing. What do you guys say, Isolated incident or is that just how that phone is? It did not run nearly as smooth as my E4GT!

This is why I am still considering it because my ET4G isn't going anywhere. It would be my upgrade to my NS4G. I almost exclusively use my NS4G at work because of the low signal performance on my Epic Touch. I figure if I am going to pay full price for a phone I don't think the GNex, Evo LTE, and S3 wouldn't warrant it. If something truly next level comes along I would consider paying full price at the time. So the question for me is GNex or S3 with my 2nd line upgrade. My friends who upgraded from NS4G to GNex are actually really enjoying it and say the battery isn't as bad as people are saying. They tell me its equal to NS4G which I can pull 5-6 hours of screen time as well. I just know how to set up Sammys. The NS4G is known for bad battery life as well...
I just hope the trouble I saw with that thing was device related and not ICS related. If we get ICS and my phone starts acting like that nexus I may just stick with Gingerbread!

I would agree with this especially if you have any type of spare phone you can use in the meantime. If not I know how hard it is without a phone so if ya cant wait go for the evo. I was at the sprint store the other day playing with it, and it really is a nice phone plus it has beats audio and a very good build quality.
I couldnt see buying a 4g phone when there are 4g LTE phones available. I just "bought up" in my Sprint contract to purchase either the S3 or the Evo LTE. Current plan is to sell my S2 and wait for the S3 to come out so that I can take her for a spin before I sign another 2 year...
As somebody else mentioned, either way she is getting a nice device.
I love every aspect of the EPIC 4G touch, but if I lived where 4Glte would be, I would snag up the Evo. I'm happy with my 3G speeds and bad ass hardware.
Good luck.

She got the evo lte because if she waits the world will implode if she doesn't have a phone. I know I'll be getting the S3 and she'll be *****ing how my phone is better, happens all the time. I just hope Pittsburgh gets lte in a reasonable time.

I have the EvoLTE and my wife is getting the SG3.. of course it hasn't even came to the house yet and she already wants to switch with me because of the physical camera button at the top.. Either way IDC.. I'm a big Sammy guy anyways.. But according to the reviews here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6022/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-review-att-and-tmobile-usa-variants/3 your wife might just have the better phone.. I know the scores were pushed mostly bc the UI. But maybe that extra gig of ram might be to much wiggle room for the s4 and is causing the scores to drop a few points in these benchmarks.. Of course the multitasking should be better..
