How much "buy-back" money for the S2? Maybe buy-back money will offset some of the contract buy-out fee and then its worth getting. I love my E4GT but I could get much better pics of my kids with the S3.

I see yours and raise you 40!

I'm kinda on the fence about it.
I played with a customer's that brought one in from pre-order the other day. While the new Nature UX looks amazing and the device is smooth as butter, the size is a deal breaker for me. It's too large for my hands (twss). I almost fumbled and dropped it. :x
I'll probably stick with my Epic Touch for now and wait for ICS kernel sources so that I can get amazeballs battery life on AOKP. I'm rather enjoying this ROM.

I haven't compared the actual pics and videos but essentially the s3 has the same camera as the s2, just faster and with more options. People should really take the time to read the posts in the s3 section. Many people are reporting issues that shouldn't be happening with a new phone. Many are discovering that it really is just a s2.5. It's also experiencing lots of LOS (loss of service). If you REALLY want one, it would be wise to wait until the problems get ironed out in a real update. I'm not talking about the little security update that's going to get pushed to the sprint version on sunday.

I said all this once specs were announced it's the lte version of the s2. It's basically the same phone. The performance difference shouldn't be noticed. It certainly isn't worthy of my 2 year renewal as it's an equal gen phone to what we have now. Besides who can't wait 4 months for the nexus

From someone who has one, it's well worth it. It's nowhere near "basically the same".

sprint is releasing an LTE version arent they? I dont think LTE will be available until 2013 in my area. I cant see knowingly upgrading to lose 4g until the phone could be almost a year old.

Maybe well worth it if you are not coming from an s2. Upgrading to the s3 means you can't upgrade to a next gen phone. Next gen phones come out in q4 for Christmas season. It's like having an iPhone 4 and upgrading to a 4s sure it's nicer and more refined, but upgrades for most aren't yearly anymore and most would just wait for a true upgrade rather than some polishing.

Specs have been confirmed and they're exactly like the att note. Hardware wise the s3 out guns the note. But I too find myself asking myself the same thing lol

Note2 just around the corner
Forget about the Note, the Note2 is coming out at the end of Augest or early Sept. Why in the hell Tmobile is even bothering with this is beyond me. My guess would be that their so far down the dev cycle with their crap "tmobile apps" that they are just going to move forward and not listen to anyone. There was a poll out a few weeks ago that asked the question
Why do you root your phone
1) To install Custom Roms
2) To remove carrier bloatware
3) both
The results were something like 83% I think for number 2. This shows in the ratings for all of the Tmobile forced bloatware apps in the
play store. With comments like how do I remove this, I don't want this on my phone and I don't even use this why are you making me update it.
etc.
If Tmobile would LISTEN and not install bloatware and make those apps up to the user with links to them in the play store they would have less
bricked phones and warranty issues. Less customer churn and more than anything else they would be able to deploy new phones alot faster.
Its a shame to cause they say they listen to their users but its apparent thats not the case.
They screwed us on the S3 with the dual core deal. From what I heard they were offered the Korean S3 but passed since it was more money and its deployment cycle date was later than the dual core so they felt they would have missed the boat. They also charge more and made it hell of confusing for those wanting to buy it. Like its 329 plus rebate and then $20 payment a month for x months. I mean who comes up with that crap!!! Now their bringing an almost year old phone to market "as new". It really makes zero since. I mean how are people going to feel when they sign a contract for 2 years only to hear the NEW Note2 is coming out weeks later. Samsung will be doing their big promo's and such for the Note2 and you will be holding your what you thought was a new phone in you hand going wtf I just bought this!!! I think its going to cause a fare amount of confusion and could cause some backlash. No one wants to feel taken "Taken" but this is going to cause at least some ill will. The only saving grace is the Note2 will take a month or two to get here state side but still. Every chance Tmobile has had to really stand out from the rest and offer really great phones that are better than what is out there yet they keep dropping the ball. Makes me seriously want to take the new CEO position and really turn the company around cause it doesn't look like anyone with vision is driving the bus.

This is a paradox that will always be there. In November when you get your Nexus, you will want to hold off until April for the S3-Plus or whatever is on the verge of coming out then.

I agree...however if this was a question for a gs2 user I would tell them neither! The s2 rooted with the right rom and kernel is as good if not better than anything out right now. In my opinion, if you're even reading any of these forums and interested in flashing roms and personalization you should move to a nexus device. They get all the newest and coolest stuff first cause that's what Google uses to develop on. So SAVE YOUR MONEY until another bad ass nexus is on the market. It will probably be expensive so everyone do yourself a favor and start saving!

Still rocking my S2, and waiting till my upgrade in December. We'll see what's out then. Nothing worth leaving my S2 for, and Nexus isn't worth leaving T-Mobile for, so. Honestly, I would get the Note, but only because I love big screens, and I work from my phone and my tablet all day.

problem is the note is just a bigger version of your S2 not the note2. It's last year's model from att with a stamp that says T-Mobile and their new "app pack" which is nothing more than you can download for free from the playstore. It's getting upgraded to ICE but I would bet that's as far as it goes due to hardware.

Unless it's edge-to-edge, I don't want a phone that's any bigger/wider.

Pretty sure the screen won't be bigger than it is now, Samsung isn't that stupid, that's why they have the Note series.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

I agree. 4.8 inches is perfect. If it were "edgeless" or "edge to edge" than yeah go ahead and bump that up while keeping the same size, but the current size is perfect for a phone boarding on phablet.
No reason to go any higher when someone can just buy a Galaxy Note. I can still unlock and use my phone with one hand for the most part. Yeah it's a bit difficult but it can be done!

It seems like they just released the S3

Any bigger than the S3 and I won't buy it.

Upgrade/Moral Dilemma

I got the unlimited family plan last June and got the Epic for my wife and I. This family plan is now turning into a business plan as I'm getting phones for my guys too.
My issue is that I am a tech junkie and I am starting to feel phone envy with all these guys getting the note 2. I have another person to get a phone for and I'm realizing that instead of waiting another year and six months to upgrade I can do it now and pass on this epic.
The problem is that I love this community, and would like to start putting out some roms for a group that I think is going to be hurting for devs shortly. While I'm pretty sure the note 2 is not lacking in this area.
Am I worrying about nothing? Is everyone leaving this phone soon anyway? If I don't use this opportunity am I going to be the only one here in a year? :sigh:
I just feel like it's too early to leave now, but will be too late later on.

Reasonable to believe when S4 is released and if the specs live up to its hype, majority of users will consider the move. I am considering and upgrade and may not be on this phone at the end of the year. Only because it will be 2 years and trying to get the family on 1 cycle is the plan. Its an opportunity you should highly consider

That was the original plan, just wait it out, and get the latest and greatest, but my guy needs a phone now, so it's upgrade now or in a year and half. Other option is to use my best buy buy back to help with the cost of an out of contract phone when the s4 comes out.

I think a lot of its are in it till the s4. This is a great community though and I feel your pain. The note has a lot going for it but I have a feeling the s4 is going to knock it out of the park. We always need good devs and would hate to see you go. But do what you have to. I'm sure you'll be happy either way. Although with all these 4.2 rooms coming out and jb ota around the corner at some point soon this phone will be hanging around for quite a while. Good luck with your decision.

I love this phone but if I had LTE I would upgrade now. I also think S4 will be my next phone since it should drop around the time the Network Vision upgrades start here. Bottom line do whatever makes you happy. The community will carry on and more devs will jump onboard since our phone is cheap now.

I have a note 2 and I love it I came from the e4gt and had used my upgrade to get the note now if the S4 really calls out my attention which I'm sure it will I will sell the note and put in the differences and pay full price now if you think you can do that do it If you're a tech junkie a don't see the problem of hesitating on doing something wrong for yourself just do what you want bro.

I'm an indirect dealer for Sprint, ATT and Verizon; I get to play with a lot of phones. You could not be more accurate. Not only is the Note 2 in a class if its own. It really is a "phablet". It doesnt need to be held close to the face, yet can fit in a pocket.
More importantly, the execution of Touchwiz is remarkable- its usefulness is beyond comparison, justifying every pixel of the huge display and proving it is not a gimmick.
As far as the E4GT goes, its second-life as a premium Virgin/Boost handset should prevent development from drying up.

The 18 Month Mark Is Almost Upon Us

Well we've got a little over a month to go before we hit that magical 18 month mark and the support cycle for our beloved nexii ends. Not that that matters a whole lot, but its a milestone nonetheless. Despite the ongoing battery struggles and some awful early (and sometimes reappearing) signal issues, I have to say that I've loved this phone, and at the end of the day it really did meet most most of my expectations. It can still handle pretty much everything you can throw at it, even at 18 months old, and that's not something you can say about a lot phones at this point in their life cycles. I did hate it while we were waiting for the first official radio update and 4.04, and even then I never really stopped thinking about selling it. But from the first JB update and since, I've been a happy camper and even turned down a family member's offer to buy me a full price Note 2 or DNA.
Interested to hear what other launch day or close-to-launch day purchasers would say about if and how it has lived up to their expectations.

I have had my nexus since December 2011, not exactly launch day but that was the soonest I could get my hands on it in Canada. My experience in owning this device has been interesting. In the end I have realized what features I value more then others based on the nexus' downfalls. Some of these include radio strength, battery life, camera quality and of course software is still vital to me.
The 18 months is coming quickly upon us and our Galaxy nexus is probably only going to get one more official update and to be honest I'm fine with it, as this will give me extra reason to upgrade.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Well I've had my nexus for about 8 months or so now. I did not upgrade when it first came out and stuck with the nexus s for a bit.
Then got the note 1 for a while. Then finally came over late last year cause I got tired of waiting on Samsung to release jellybean for the note 1.
Anyway... I can easily say this has been the best experience I've had with any handset. Never been happier.
Jellybean solved a lot of problems with the fluidity and speed of the already excellent android experience.
The handset itself is still a beauty too. I never get tired of those sexy curves and all clean black front end with no buttons!
The handset still runs well with no big issues. Games and apps load in an almost instant. Blazing fast still. I will keep it for a good while I think.
Will try and wait till the fall at least. See what the next nexus brings. Or that Motorola x phone.
The only thing I would change about the galaxy nexus would be more ram. It's the only small issue I have very rarely. Especially when using chrome with a few tabs open. It eats a lot of ram at times.
But all in all... This has been and still is an excellent handset. Love it
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I've had mine since launch day on Verizon, and I stuck with it after the fiasco of the launch date that was delayed and delayed. I wanted the nexus experience and I have enjoyed it for the most part, but Verizon has ruined some of the experience with their late updates and such. I will be keeping this phone as long as I can since I am grandfathered into the unlimited data so I don't want to upgrade. When it comes time to get a new phone, I hope I have the option to buy a nexus.

I'm waiting to see if Google has something up their sleeve at I/O for a new Nexus phone. I'll probably go to the Nexus 4 or whatever they announce then and free myself from carrier crap. Though maybe I'll wait until my Gnex craps out first and buy a Nexus 10 to replace my aging Iconia A500. Anyway, I'm firm in the Nexus camp!

Going by past history, each nexus device is roughly supported for around 2 years, which means we might stop getting official updates at around october..

I am on my second Contract with verizon...my first 2 year contract had the OG droid, Droid X and HTC thunderbolt in there. this is the only phone i have had on the current contract. i Do have urges to get a used S3 and throw an AOSP ROM on it, but i still think i would miss my Nexus.
all of my phones, i have tried everything in my power to make it as close to a nexus device as possible....and now that i have a nexus device, i dont have to worry about it. it is always up to date, it is super smooth, i haven't run into any issues, the Community is EXACTLY what i wanted, and the phone is even more than what i wanted. a phone that is still smooth and fast 15 months after i bought it, i am simply amazed.
and this phone gets more and more exciting come these google events, because i know i will have what they announce later that day or the following one.

I've had this phone for over a year which is an eternity for me. I still enjoy it so I'm having trouble convincing myself to retire it which is good thing. Sure there's now faster phones with bigger screens and better hardware but this thing still holds its own.
My only hope now is that I accidentally break it to give me reason to replace it. Maybe then my wife will understand. :laugh:

Oh man! This is exactly how I feel. I'm tempted to buy the N4, but I feel guilty because my gnex still works perfectly. Also if I pull the trigger and buy the N4, I'm going to regret the decision by the end of this year when the next Nexus comes out.
I might just get drunk one day and make the purchase and blame alcohol for the decision!

Exactly my thoughts too! If it works, why bother replacing it? I'm getting a Nexus tablet to satisfy that buying urge. I'll probably hold out until the Nextsus before I doing any phone upgrading.
