I dont know what to do I have been sitting on an upgrade since december for sprint to get a new phone and now they are but its 6 months old!
Idk if I want that 6 month old phone..... and not be able to upgrade for 2 years! When do you guys think the next nexus will come?
Basically idk if I should wait to see the announcment its like 2 weeks longer I would be stuck with this stupid POS evo 3d which is a disgrace to the OG evo! Stupid assurion ran out of regular evos!

Nexus' come at the end of the year. So you'll be fine for 5-6 months. But the One X variant for sprint is coming out soon too, so you need to decide if you want a nexus phone or the best spec'd phone. I personally will always choose a nexus, I hate skins on top of android.

Sprint will usually get phones later than most networks. If you look back at how long it took for us to the Galaxy S2, Nexus S 4G, etc. it was many months after everyone else.
So if you waited for the Galaxy S3, it will be a couple of months for international version to come out, then a few more months before Sprint gets it.
Just get the phone you want thats out now.
American versions of Galaxy s3 will take a few months because each carrier wants unique features and bloatware included with the phone al

Ok so I just got my Sprint Galaxy Nexus 3 days ago and this is my second unit about to be my third one.
Issues :
- Media Sound / Alarm (After using headphones with the phone my media sound stop working for some reason and I have to reset it in other to get it working again. This is a known issue from all the LTE Variants, idk about the GSM version.)
- Screen Lines (This issue only kills me when I'm looking at pictures or looking at the lockscreen you see like different colors it bothers me so much.)
Tell me about YOUR Galaxy Nexus.

Hey guys just picked up my galaxy s3 yesterday from Att. I traded my gnex and got $120 towards a new upgrade so I only paid $80 for the gs3. As soon as i got it I rooted and installed a custom ROM hahaha . I used a stock ROM because I like the motion features in touchwiz i( I wish cm10 or mui would incorporate this into the ROMs). Anyway I could've gotten a nexus 4 and saved my upgrade but I really need an lte device because my tf700 does not have mobile connection ( so I tether ). I go to school in Pittsburgh we have great lte speeds here !!! Also I'm only interested in the software of the nexus 4 ..I think gs3 hardware is good . Dualcore 1.5 is good enough for a phone ..quad core is just for bragging rights no?
So far so good I love the camera ...I feel a noticeable speed difference ( gs3 is a lot faster than gnex)

Hey man! Welcome! The AT&T Galaxy S III is a great device. We've got great dev support that will have every new update rooted and with an awesome rom before you can before you can ask. There will most likely be support for our phone for years and years.
Welcome!

Good choice :good:. If your really want to see the SIII run fast try out Task650 and Ktoonsez AOKP ROM along with Ktoonsez kernal ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766684 )
Hey man welcome.
All I can say is that you will live the development here. There are countless roms for the s3. And if you're having trouble deciding get the best of all worlds with paranoidKANGdroid.

Great dev support, but the gps was pretty weak and the keyboard skipped on every stock rom which is just pitiful of Samsung to have never completely fixed.
S2 was good but they took out the audience sound processor and dedicated gps chip in the sprint version, otherwise was great. However battery life went way downhill after the move to ICS base. Also the vibrating camera module is like wtf?
Got my S3 today and it seems really solid hardware wise. I think Sammy finally got it all right this time around (fingers crossed). Only problem I've seen around here is cracked glass from 2" drop onto carpet (ok, exaggerated) so I hope that holds up for me. Also I notice the screen has a blue cast when viewed at an angle, and can appear slightly washed out with text on certain backgrounds.

I only hope I'm as happy with the sg3 as I was with my epic... I'd say I will be, loving this phone thus far!
The epic my first smart phone per say. Switched from Verizon on LG-1000 Voyager (quasi smart phone) to sprint and the epic, it was a good run but glad I'm here on the sg3 now!

I have a galaxy nexus at the moment and I planned on paying full price for a note 2 or galaxy SIII. I see the the GSIII has a lot more rom support than the note 2. So I'm asking those who own or owned both which do you like best?
Note 2 doesn't need much rom support. Gn2 does so much more than s3. Twice the cpu twice the ram + spen. Not much to compare
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
My wife has the GS3 and I have the Note 2. Having rooted/tweaked both, I can definitely say that neither really requires much in terms of ROMs. My wife likes things stock, but I was constantly flashing new ROMs on my EVO 4G, but don't really don't feel the need at all with my Note 2. Although there aren't as many ROMs for the Note 2, I think there's otherwise equal development for both in terms of tweaks and hacks.
One thing I did do was put Nova Launcher on my Note 2. Stupid lawsuits from Apple and others have stripped down the features of TouchWiz so much that I feel like I'm using 6-year-old technology.
Your choice pretty much boils down to size. If you like or can tolerate a bigger phone then I would highly recommend getting the Note 2. If not, then get the SG3.
Thanks. I think I'm going to go with the note 2. I have sprint but there data is so slow. I was thinking about jumping to Verizon or AT&T and get one.
From what I understand, the SIII is at its "end of life" and is being phased out. I was recently faced with the same choice and couldn't be happier with my choice. Get the Note 2.

Sprint will be releasing LTE in many cities soon so check yours.
If you are going with Sprint take a look at Amazon Wireless. They have the BEST prices. Right now they have the GN2 for $99 with a new 2 year contract. Not bad. ($199 if you are upgrading).

** The good news is that while Sprint won't pricematch anyone, Bestbuy is now pricematching Amazon. Soooo, go into Bestbuy and tell them about the AmazonWireless price and get a deal.

Bought my wife the S3 and Note 2 for me. Either is solid, but holding her phone in my hand just feels cute. Prefer the Note 2 for a bunch of reasons. The stock rom is fantastic. Still, I rooted mine an hour after it arrived. No regrets. Development is looking great IMHO.

I recommend you get it I just got about 3 dsys ago and have not slept since lol there is so much you can do with it and its a sexy device great signal and so so smooth. I also have the S3 and that is as well a amazing phone. I am glad I switched to thw Note2 over it nit thatbthe S3 was bad justbthe big 5.5 inch screen is so beautiful for movies and social things plus you are guaranteed to turn heads with the Note 2

Note 2
I just upgraded from the Sprint GS3 to the Sprint Note 2 and I LOVE IT. The Note2 is AWESOME. I had it rooted and flashed Mack's Rom less that an hour after I made the purchase. I would suggest the Note 2 as long as you don't mind the size.
I have had my Note 2 for about little over a week coming from S3 and either is a good choice but I am happy I got the Note 2 because it just does so much more than any other device on the market including the S3 my next phone will be the Note 3 for sure because how much I love this one that's my 2or3 cents

I too went from the original EVO like so many others. Also, as previous members have posted, Best Buy does match Amazon. Amazon had it for 199.99 for renewal and I signed up for the Best Buy mobile credit promotion of $50 (no longer available). Total pocket cost was about 200 after activation.
Absolutely love this phone!
