S3! Lol. The note is bigger than the S3 but I'm more than happy with the size and capability with my S3.
Its a tough choice. My buddy as an att note and it is really cool. Definitely an attention getter. But the s3 is going to be top dog for a while and should have some awesome development for it. Check both out and get the one that fits you best.

For me, the S3 isn't enough to leave my S2, especially with the price drop of the GNex AND the new nexus devices that will be released shortly, AND the other new phones that will be released shortly as well.
The TMo Note? That depends. Is it based on the Note 2 that will he released shortly, or is it based on the previous Note, putting it behind in rom development and basically another S2 type situation?
The TMo S2 was released so late that development was very, very slow and I see the TMo Note possibly having the same problem.
I DO like the Note, and would have gotten it in Feb had it been available on TMo then. But 5 months later? I'm gonna wait and see what else is coming along.

Would the Gnex be a good choice out of contract? I have to replace my samsung galaxy s2 because it had a carrier block from Tmobile (bought from craigslist). I just can't shell out >$600 but the Gnex is pretty cheap relatively.

The GNex is a great deal right now. I'm debating getting it as well, but am trying to hold off to see what the Nexus line is going to be like this year. The price will either stay steady, or continue to go down, so there is no drawback to waiting (unless you wait until a point where it's no longer made and out of stock, that is).
The only real drawbacks are it's last years Nexus, with new models a few months away, and the lack of SD card expansion (Google seems to have done away with that on their developer phones, but we'll see if that continues with the next series of Nexus phones).
However, it's guaranteed to get Jellybean (next month, confirmed), and will most likely get next year's update as well.
BTW, I'm only talking about the GSM GNexus. I don't even consider the Verizon version a Nexus device.

Well I thought about the Gnex for a while and decided that I wouldn't ever get it. I mean sure its got the curved and high resolution display, but its lacking key features like a micro SD card. And in actuality it will be more expensive for me to get the Gnex. So...I'm most likely going to go with the Galaxy S III but thanks for the suggestions!

I for one am going to wait til sept-oct too see the note 2 with a 5.5 screen. Which is also around the iphone 5 is set to release which will also means other goodies samsung and other companies will release to go head to head with it. I see no real reason to upgrade now and then want to upgrade again in just a few months, that's unless you have the money to burn like that.

Simply put, Verizon got their dirty paws on it. Came without Wallet (although it was able to be sideloaded), had some Verizon bloatware, and updates have been a nightmare for users (took months after ICS updates were released for Verizon GNex users to receive them). In fact, Google has since dropped support for it as a Nexus device (CDMA is a dead technology).

I believe T-Mobile was the only US carrier not to disable NFC. Although it should be enabled AFAIK with ICS updates for other carriers if the hardware is present.
Ok wait wait, let me clarify.
i9100 = NO
i9100P = YES (it's an i9100 exactly, but with NFC. ROMs for i9100 will work, but need to be modified to show NFC settings, otherwise no NFC options will show)
i9100G = NO, it's completely different from the i9100 hardware (TI-OMAP instead of Exynos). ROMs from i9100/P don't work.
T989 (T-Mobile GS2) = YES, but it's completely different from the i9100 hardware (Snapdragon S3 instead of Exynos). ROMs from i9100/P don't work.
i777 (AT&T GS2) = YES* , stock ROMs disable it. ROMs from i9100 work because they're the same phone (it's really an i9100P because it has NFC) but you need to modify button layout or the buttons won't work in the ROM.
D710 (Sprint GS2) = NO
thank u guys, i'll buy european i9100...
afaik, european S II GT-I9100P comes with NFC ... so if you want a european NFC version, you could try to find a GT-I9100P (e.g orange in France and TIM in Italy ).
...not sure which roms will work ....perhaps the same as on the GT-I9100T ...

my sgh-i777 has no indication of NFC on the box and was unusable stock. It does say "Near Field Communication" on the battery but I was only allowed to read some tags with a custom rom a while back. I'm on AOKP now and haven't tried anything with NFC as I gave up on it a while ago.
Is NFC fully functional on your i777?

The i777 is really an i9100P (European I9100 with NFC). So yes it should fully work on a ROM that supports it.

My sgh-i777 obviously came with it but turned off from carrier att. But I've been using nfc since gingerbread a dev entropy got it working back on 2.3.4 release from att. However the problem we do have is the lack of secure element which is why we can't use Google wallet for instance. Theirs been alot of debate over the secure element factor but besides that its fully functional.

There's no debate; it needs to be there or Wallet won't work. End of discussion. Any other NFC stuff should work.

Great info.
My brother just got the Nexus 7 and I was able to Beam a site I was browsing on chrome to him (I'm running AOKP btw). So it does work
But he tried to beam me a picture and it said the other device doesn't support receiving large files via beam ?
So now I know that my nfc works, what cool things can I do?

Pretty much anything else that newer NFC phones can do, except Google Wallet because that requires a separate chip called a Secure Element. NFC itself is a very slow, weak protocol. You can beam text easily, which is probably what happens when you beam something like a URL. But beaming a picture would take a looooot of time and power. So I think what happens is the NFC chip initiates a Wifi-Direct (Wifi-to-Wifi) or Bluetooth transfer.
Try buying Samsung Tectiles and using the app to trigger actions with NFC.
Hi all,
Since the Galaxy S3 has now been released on TMOUS, can the setup/framework/etc be ported onto the GSM Galaxy Nexus?
Is that a reasonable expectation?
There is a lot of FUD going around about how the wifi calling is device-specific and cannot be ported to any device.
I can understand that to a certain extent but the S3 and Galaxy Nexus have a lot of similar innards from what I understand so I wanted to revisit the situation.
Short answer: no because of the ril.

This actually isn't relevant anymore. Since T-Mobile switched to IMS it no longer requires custom IRL/Kernel to authenticate over GAN.
IMS has already been open sourced: see imsdroid or andoird-ims
This should/could be supported in any current version of Android if someone took the time to figure this out and hand the know-how to do so.
Unfortunately, I am not that person, but I think this could be realized considering the information available.
I have confirmed with T-Mobile that this requires an IMS SIM card, which they have just shipped to me for free (Arrives Friday). Other than that, it should be handled at the application level.
This may be of some use to someone:

I have a Galaxy S3 in the mail from Tmobile right now, got it for under $200. Thinking of selling it and getting the Nexus unlocked from google. Now, I know that the Nexus's hardware is a bit behind the S3, what are some other differences in both phones? I'd like to hear it from people on here that actually used the phones and not some BS reviews on the net.
What would you do?
Thanks everyone.
I would keep the s3. I expect the S3 will be relevant a lot longer than the Nexus.

The Galaxy Nexus could possibly as well receive official updates for at least the next 2 versions of Android. I don't think we can say that about the GS3.
For me its all about the latest greatest software. Hardware is much of a muchness. I want the latest versions of android first, so I got the nexus.
Both are great devices though.

Of course you realize you will have to unlock it if you want to sell it to most people, will lose the warranty and T-Mobile may or may not detect the change in phones on a plan where they more or less own that phone until the contract is up. Right?
If the GS3 is already coming, I probably would just hold onto it, that's just me.
The resell value will be high probably around the time the next real Nexus comes out, then make your move.

Yes you can load aosp ROM or cm10 ROM on the sgs3.

TMO has no say on which phone he has to use. He pays the subsidized price which is recouped over the length of the contract. His rate plan remains independent of his device. As far as warranty, if you're able to root then you should be able to unroot and relock your bootloader (there are ways to reset your flash count as well). Resale value will be best though if it is carrier unlocked

WRONG...
not all the components have open source drivers so very frequently you end up needing to wait for source ( or stock rather) to be realeased in order for much development to occur.

no, i was actually looking to put complete stock android on it. like on the gnex. i'm not into roms that much. i have a G2 right now and its completely stock and i like it like that. so from my understanding i won't be able to do that, so i guess i'll have to sell the S3 (unlock it first with a code from TMO) and then get the gnex.
are there really any huge differences with the hardware between gnex and s3? like am i going to really miss out on something that s3 has that gnex doesn't?
Big main differences is better processors, more memory and better camera... outside of that not much
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
I have the Gnex, my husband has the T-Mo S3. I have no regrets passing on the S3. It's a nice phone, but I have stock android with no fuss whatsoever. The Gnex software outperforms the S3 without a doubt (he's just got stock TW, so I'm not sure how it would do with a nice AOSP rom)
I agree with whoever mentioned the driver issue, the GTab got ICS 9 months later, and until it was released, no ROMs had cameras working. I'll take the Nexus over anything any day of the week.
I was close to getting the gs3 as well. Specs are fine but the development community is so much better. Yes we have cm10 for the s3 but how long will it take to get the next version. You trade some things away when you pick a phone. I will trade those specs for the best softwear and best dev community

Let’s start with the simplest form of this: CyanogenMod does not pre-announce support or lack of support for devices. Ever. Even for the Nexus 4, we did not announce support until a nightly build was available. Further, any announcement regarding the ‘dropping’ of device support will be communicated via this Google+ page, Twitter, Facebook, our blog, or a combination of those; it will not be something buried in a forum post.
This morning, a comment from a CM collaborator on XDA was taken to be as an ‘absolute’ in regards to support of the S4. He offered the opinion of four TeamHacksung maintainers, their frustrations and lack of interest in supporting the S4. What’s seemingly lost on those reading this is that his comments as an individual do not speak for CyanogenMod as an organization.
As for the team’s stance on the S4, there isn’t one at this time, and most definitely won’t be one before the device is sold at retail.
-The CyanogenMod Team
I usually jump on the band wagon for the newest and greatest. I just can't help myself. But if I'm smart this time and if experience has taught me anything I'll stick with the s3 for a while. I know myself and whenever i get the newest "best" device, i end up frustrated waiting for new ROMs and strong Dev support. Right now the ROMs for the s3 are smokin' and the hardware is still REALLY good. I'm gonna try to hold off until i see how strong Dev support is for both the s4 and the HTC one. Wherever devs go i follow... Lol. Right now they're on top of the s3 and I'm loving it.

Oh please come on. I never met a CM ROM that was worth keeping. Nothing ever works right, my personal experience. TWiz stock rooted works just fine for me on the S3, from great battery life to performance and stability. I don't live my life by what the CM team does or doesn't do. Geez..
The S4 has nothing worth the hassle of selling this S3 for 200-250 and then having to spend 500-600 retail for a new S4 for me. I strictly text and listen to music and use facebook. The fact that it isn't a quad core alone for the US variant was the last nail on the coffin for me to say no.

Nope, I wait until they drop in price.....I picked up my S3 for $49.99 on Black Friday!!!
Also, by then there are some decent ROMS and accessories for it.

I did the same thing lol. On black Friday I added another line to get the sg3. Sold my cousin the evo 4G lte that I picked up a few months prior. And switched phones on the account and bam. Been happy every since.

I'll be sticking with my SGS3. I'm extremely Happy with it. Plus the SGS3 should be seeing a good portion of the Software from the S4 .

This^ :good:
It helps that the S4 won't be too different software-wise from the S3
