Traded my S3 today after a week with it and went back to my gnex. I find its actually a lot smoother and quicker than the S3, have you guys who have used both noticed the same thing?

Yeah when it's on touchwiz it's slower. On AOSP Jellybean the S3 is faster.

To be fair, devices in stores for demonstration are laggy for the most part. The Galaxy Nexus as well, it's not a proper way of "demoing" the phone.
It depends on what model you actually have. If its the quad s3(international i9300) you made a worst decision of your life and to sum it all up Almost all the famous devs are there.

Happy with my GNexus. Played with an S3 and didn't like the feel, or the physical buttons. Plus you can't beat stock ROM even if there are ways to get AOSP on the S3 it's not the same.

Same experience here. Thoroughly tested the S3 already and the GNex definitely feels smoother and gives an overall beter user experience.
And as said before not everyone who buys an android smartphone can be assed rooting their phone, flashing roms, backupping everytime. It's very nice that it's possible to do with android but it should not be an obligation whilst buying a smartphone.. It should work perfect out of the box, and that's exactly what the GNex does and any other android phone manufacturer fails to do.

Would be a hard sell to a dev.
Essentially you would be asking "Can you waste your time porting an older OS to my phone that not many people will use, will provide no real benefits, and will require back porting drivers?"
Now if it did come out it would be cool (choices are nice) but I four it will come out.

The dev would also have to create some software buttons, as they're not present in gingerbread.
Would be cool though. Some people may prefer pre-ICS.

Buy a Nexus S. This is a stupid idea, which has been discussed before when the GNex came out.
Forget Gingerbread. It's all about Cupcake!
i sorta agree. cause right now, the miui 2.3.7 on my nexus s simply smokes miui v4 on the gnex

I sometimes wonder if maybe ics is what slows down this amazing phone.
I also wonder (cause many people compare the gnex with the s2 and say s2 is faster) I know the processors are a difference but not that huge of a difference so I wonder if gingerbread is what's keeping the s2 faster for or noticeably faster then the gnex with pics I wonder if ics will slow down the s2 as well. Idk just thoughts just fun.

ICS slowing down the GN? what?
Gingerbread isn't even optimized for multi-core phones.
gnexus has to run faster with ics.
I believe ics is made for the galaxy nexus. to this specific device. therefore ics should definitely be faster.
putting gingerbread on this would be hard cause we only have on-screen buttons.
and you don't see people putting 2.2(froyo) or 2.1 or even below 1.6 on
devices like gsII. razr. rezound.
why put gingerbread on gnex? it would just be cool but not useful in anyway

Sent from my Nexus in Texas.
So I had the Verizon Galaxy Nexus running Jelly Bean and today I sold my nexus and bought the SIII. I never realized how much software matters over hardware! Sure the SIII has more ram and a slightly better camera but I will tell you while I miss my nexus!!!!!
1. Stock OS - I hate the fact why on my SIII I cant organize my apps into other app folders. I feel like I am running android 2.4 and not 4.04!
2. Jelly Bean- I love project butter (even though the Siii is still smooth) and I way prefer googles voice assistant alot more
3. Build- I think I am one of the few that prefer the the size and material of the nexus. Even though the nexus is close in size, I still feel the
S3 is just too big. Not to mention I prefer the rubberized feel on the nexus.
4. On screen menu keys. Just have not got used to the S3 and dont know if I ever will.
5. Ability to swap roms. Being that verizon has a locked bootloader on the S3 and there are no working Jelly bean roms, I feel by the time
Verizon upgrades to Jelly Bean I will be counting down the days till the Galaxy Nexus 4 comes out!!!!
*****Thinking about selling my S3, but dont want to waste an upgrade on a new phone so just may give it to family and buy my nexus back***
Bottom line.... I miss my nexus
That's why I did not buy it

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
even though you can slap a cyanogen onto a non-nexus device, it will took longer than on nexus. On Nexus, Google update new version, the longest you have to wait is one week before a build is surfacing. But nowadays our dev are super so it only took few hours lolz, and with pretty much everything working most importantly.
With non-nexus, NO~~ it took ages to wait for this driver, that source code wtf wtf bla bla bla~~ I've been there with SGS2 and One X, regretted my choice. and you cant enjoy the true feeling of AOSP too. you'll notice you need TW or Sense for a better hardware experience like the camera, etc etc.
oh as asdfasd2 said, yes i agree. Samsung does sucks with their source codes. CM was long enough on SGS2 and still, after they release the codes, devs are having headaches fixing what were supposed to be fixed. Luckily Nexus S and Gnexus are handled by Google, not them.
i must confess i was feeling a little tempted myself but ever since the nexus 7 release i cant take the damn table off my mind just waiting a couple of weeks to see if a nexus 10 is gonna be release but i cant wait a lo more

Its an amazing phone. Recommended. It feels so good in your hand , the curve makes it a sexy phone.If coming from a phone with menu buttons you'll be HOW DO I USE THIS BABY!?. but you'll get used to it, in 1 day you'll be used to the Soft keys. Best part is ... CUSTOMIZABLE SOFT KEYS!!! WOOOOOO!!!
I recommend Team Bamf. Its stable and fast and nice. but if you are a person that doesn't care about bugs and just cares about the amount of features I recommend a Nightly. They aren't buggy but may have a few quirks here and there. Jellybro is the best CM10 rom out there in my opinion.
Don't be a dumbsh*t like me and hold the phone upside down the first time you get it.

yea I thought about getting the note 2 but its a little to big. that's why I want the GS3. but between the nexus and optimus I would go with nexus for pure 4.2 and I assume it has a big support community.
Thought the bootloader on the Opt G is locked...?
Anyhow, whichever you decide - can I make a suggestion?
I'm in support of the idea of getting Agat another E4GT for kernel work.
If you're willing to that would be IMHO a great use for the phone.
(Assuming you're not handing it down to someone else, of course...)
I would go for the nexus 4 just for stock android. And lte doesn't matter for me because I get around 13mbps down here

Hell no lol.
S3 development is really picking up. The crazy part is your adding 250$ .

What these guys say! Hell no!

If it was +$100 then yes. Do they have the same internal memory?
God no! $250??? Plus a $400-600 phone... wow this shouldn't even be a question. And don't fall for the quad core vs dual core bit either... same real world speeds and performance. If the s3 isnt enough for you, then nothing will be. You will be looking to trade the note2 in a few months too. Don't be about keeping up with Jones's. The S3 is getting 4.1.2 also (with all of the note2 features) soon anyway, not to mention aosp 4.2 is being developed as well. Don't be silly. Just give me $100, keep ur phone, I'll kick u in the nuts, and we will call it a day

Not to mention since it's an international note 2 you probably won't get good data speeds in the USA if any.

adding $250 is too much, max should be 180 dollars...and he can get decent speeds if there's 1900mhz setup by T-mobile... but, if you got cash to burn then go for way it..I think you already made up your mind anyways....
Int'l Note 2 goes for like $617 brand new, whereas the GS3 is like $540. $250 and you might as well polish his nob.

I just went through this same exact situation with my friend. He offered me his Note 2 for my S3 plus $250. I don't know where these people think this a good deal but it isn't... I said hell no!

I skipped the note 2 and nexus 4...waiting for the s4

No Thanks.
4.1.2 is coming soon, with 4.2 on the way, plus the Note II is just a bigger version of the S3, so why???

Really ? Just a bigger version ? So the exynos processor and the increased real estate is nothing ? Believe me there are some artsy folks who can't do half the stuff they do on a GS3. I am one of those people. The increased size is something big enough (pun) to upgrade to. I have had several original Notes and several GS3s. I always find myself in awe of the shear beauty of the Notes screen compared to the GS3. The Note 2 even more so.

Please correct me, but I thought he said he wanted to get a international Note II, instead of the USA version. Won't that mean he'll only get 3g speeds? If that's so, than why not get the USA version? Is the S3 he has the international version too?

Sorry, my bad. Thank you for the correction.
I skipped same deal before. I guess you cant run 4g on international version. So its not worth it. On edge our phone will be like crap speed.
And 250 adds on is crazy sh!t. I was asked 200 bucks and his/her phone was brand new too; but still I said no.
