Made the switch last week. Been enjoying it thoroughly...mostly the screen...and so far battery life is better than the 3d. Though I'm using miui with a custom kernal.....

I switched from the Evo 3D about 1 month ago. I have nothing but good things to say about the gnex. I really liked the evo 3D when I had it. I thought I liked sense, but didn't realize how much of a pig it was until I switched to stock Android.

I loved my EVO 3D, but I was always a bit upset at myself for upgrading from my EVO 4G. even though it was nice to go from from single core to dual it wasn't really that big of an improvement that I couldn't have waited.
I ended up leaving Sprint and needed a new phone, so I got a G-Nex. I am fully satisfied with my decision. I have to admit, I'm a bit of a benchmark junkie though. My rooted E3D was a beast. The G-Nex is not quite as good at benches, but I love it still. Vanilla makes all the difference.
However, i switched because i left sprint and needed a new phone. Sounds like you plan on sticking with Sprint. You'll likely be using an upgrade to switch to the nexus. And it is also likely you're last annual upgrade. That being the case, I probably wouldn't upgrade. I would wait for the next nexus, a quad core, or both. Like I said, I like the nexus better but it certainly isn't worth an upgrade and then being locked into it for two years.

LOL! Coming from 4 different 3d's in less than 6 months. Wasn't going to give HTC another chance after that.

Had the 4g for two years, the lte for 29 days and this here galaxy s III for eleven days I believe.

I remember when my Evo 4G was brand new almost 2 years ago. It was the thinnest phone I had used at that point. It was so fast and perfect at everything. Putting MIUI on it made it even better. I've had my GS3 for a week, and I can't believe how old my Evo 4G feels when I use it now.
Oh, well. On to bigger and better things.

I had the EVO 4G and the EVO 3D.
SGS3 is rooted a few days later from June 21. Now running Blazer rom and ICS Domination Theme.
Rom dev is kinda slow around here but this phone is not even a month old here in US. MYN is developing some Warm Roms for this phone.

When you go into these forums there's no way you can avoid thinking about these things. It's quite addictive. Rooted my phone even before custom roms were available. Lol.

Got my OG back in March of 2010, loved that phone, by far the best I ever had (hell just look at my name) , flashed a new rom on it weekly. The first week after getting my SG3 I am like...what evo?

I had my evo for 2 years and I still can't part from it when I got my s3. I'm going to make it my mp3 for my car. Lol
Yeah I'm still running stock with root on the s3. Just waiting on myn and his team

I've been debating the switch, but I love the Sense dialer, HTC widgets, and the keyboard that has directional arrows. Playing with the GS3 at the store didn't impress me that much. I know it has far better specs, but the UI didn't grab me.

Am I the only that is still passionate about their OG? Its separation anxiety. I just got my S3. Can I ask you guys since I am already here, any of you guys worried about flash counter? I had my S3 for less then 4 hours and I am itching at the fact that I did not root it yet.

I too was worried on the 1st day, then was over it and rooted the next day. Threw on TB and Droidwall and froze a lot of the bloat. Ran really smooth. Personally, I knew I wasn't going to keep the phone stocked forever. Sooner or later, its going to get rooted. In regards to the what if I need to return, my personal experience returning rooted phone thru sprint rep over the phone is a whole lot ez'r than instore rep's.

Don't let the launcher/dialer/widgets/keyboard keep you from a great phone. All those things are fixable; you can download third party apps to replace them. Check out the Go launcher/dialer/contacts/widgets/keyboard. There are plenty of options out there besides Go, but it's a good place to start. Seriously, the phone kicks so much butt.

Would you leave the GS3 for this......?

I was wondering if anyone would consider this over the gs3 since it is coming to Sprint. I have never owned an LG phone, so I am not familiar with their build quality. Do they typically run with a UI overlay like touchwiz?
I would consider it just to try something other than Samsung, even though I love the gs3. I may pass the galaxy s3 to the wife, get this with her upgrade, and trade back if I don't like it.

Nope Samsung supports users with everything they need pretty much. Unlike LG they forgot about their first dual core which was the g2x aka Optimus 2x and never supported it. And when they released GB it was just a half assed version wiped clean. After their poor support for that phone ill never get LG again. They never support their phones. Not even flagships
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Most LG phones typically suck one way or another. Their flagship phone end up having a bunch of problems specs-wise and build-quality wise. Most LG phones break within a year with normal use.
Also, I have a 2 year contract with Sprint. Even if the best phone ever comes out, I can't switch for 2 years...

i might consider that phone the galaxy series wasn't always good the first series vibrant, fascinate, epic had horrible blue screens horrible battery life and they died easily i had five replaced vibrant in a year . Samsung sent me a different model phone .

My epic was just fine. I still keep it as a backup.

Would not buy. As a previous poster mentioned, LG can make a phone that looks great but is damaged goods beneath the shining veneer.

Damn, I was hoping with these specs to hear something good about lg and that this this would be something to consider, but a lot of negative feelings towards LG phones. Maybe we will get the note 2 and that will be a better phone to try out.

My gf lg g2x was a nightmare, even rooted. I'll never buy lg again either. They justwwiped their hands of it too.

I just got rid of a POS LG Optimus T.... I will never get another LG phone unless its the old CDMA flip phones.

Buying an lg phone is like meeting a gorgeous chick at a bar, taking her home all excited and all, then taking her clothes off to realize it isn't what you've bargained for. Then, spend the next year in therapy.

My dad had the LG Optimus S and it had an internal storage glitch that forced him to factory reset the phone to use the phone.
That's an entry level phone but I think it's sad that LG didn't show any support for him (nor did Sprint, for that matter...)

Every lg phone sprint carries is crap. New optimus is full of issues, just like the kls one. Viper, joke. Lg kept saying that even though it was released with 2.3, 4.0 is around the corner. Not a single update. Sad, other than display, device was pretty solid. I also was one of the ones with g2x. Loved build quality, but antenna issues and software made me want to throw it against the wall, even rooted it had so many issues.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

I'd buy it. My gf has a viper. Dirt cheap not tip top but the thing is rock solid and yes built well not so much as one issue.
I think LG is gonna improve and with the krait s4 I think most of the truly bad choices for chips they could throw in are off the table.

I wouldn't touch it right now based on my history of having issues with LG phones and also all of the other complaints about LG. Plus I'm happier than a pig in **** with my S3. However, if it does come as that article states, I think we can all agree that the ante has been upped bigtime with the quad core, camera, etc so that just means that HTC and Sammy will be upping their game even more so when our contracts are up there will be even bigger and better toys out there to choose from.

It's a good phone. I'm going to root it soon because in it's present state I feel that performance could be better and the gross amount of bloatware is incredibly annoying. I have used the speed test app and I'm T-Mo and managed to get a max of 27.80Mbps. Not to shabby. I did realize later that the size of the phone is quite big for my hands but the screen real estate makes up for it. I don't think I would have gotten anything else. Battery is great as well.

Yes. Absolutely i love my S3.

Im assuming you're kidding? Otherwise you would not be floating around the gs3 forum still?
If you are serious, what do you mean "didnt know whether you were coming or going"? What does that even mean lol?
and by mentioning the "htc one", im assuming you mean the "one S". So that being said, no removable storage card and no removable battery, doesnt that speak for itself? Good luck with that one, or did you overlook those two missing features?
If you are serious, can you explain why u chose the htc one s over the gs3?
To the other person, the note 2 looks nice but from what i was reading, it seems a little big.
And also, people keep mentioning the nexus. Is it better than the gs3 better?

I like it, overall pretty good. WiFi performance and Wi-Fi calling are very bad. If you are planning on using WiFi calling DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!

The s3 is light years ahead of the lg, that's a 2 year old phone that wasn't even that great to begin with. IMO the only other phone out right now to compare with the s3 is samsung's own Note2, but that's a giant phone and definitely not for everybody. If you wait a little longer LG's new superphone is around the corner but who know's when exactly it'll be released.

Hey Kid. I remember you from the G2x days. Night and day different experience. Everything just works. Screen quality, speed, size, features, everything is better. This is what the android experince should be.You will love gaming on the GS3.

I love it so much. I do have an issue with the battery running out quickly but I think I have a faulty battery. Not sure. Other than that it's the best phone I've had. I don't think there's anything better out there.
The only other phone i would consider is the new Nexus coming out simply for the updates. It still hasn't been announced tho but I'm sure it'll be a fantastic device on par with the S III

Great to hear some love coming this way for LGOG. I've been rooted since day one couple weeks ago but haven't found need to unlock. Can't wait for some AOSP on this. Used to own OG Evo and GS2.

The N4 has been made able to access several 4G LTE networks, including AT&T LTE, band 4. But then we've been made able to access GSM networks, although it requires a bit of hardware modding.

My friend is very excited about that bit. We live in Los Angeles, which is lucky enough to have Band 4 LTE, although not in our specific area. I have LTE a few miles away, and and he will get it soon enough. When the OG finally receives some good AOSP, we will be switching phones fairly often

I considered the same 2 devices (S3 was a VERY outside possibility). In the end, I went with this because of price, as well as I just thought it looked awesome. I am incredibly pleased with the purchase. I came from the same device as you (S2 E4GT). This feels like a whole different world in terms of build and OS feel.

More potential. Endless potential due to the N4 being based off the OG, the camera for bragging rights, and the sheer build quality. Main reason for me was the price, got it for $99 from Best Buy, while as my brother paid ~450 for his Note II.
