Optimus > GS3 ? - Sprint LG Optimus G

So, my pal and I have considered swapping phones. He has an Optimus G and I currently have a GS3. Both our phones are little more than a month old.
Any of you regret going with the Optimus instead of the GS3? From a hardware point of view, seems the LG trumps my GS3. Development seems a little low in comparison, but that's not too important to me. Mainly I need to be able to USB tether. Is this an option for me? I know WiFi tether is, but USB?
Thanks for any input, options, etc..I appreciate it.

I have used the S3 before coming to LG OG and trust me you will not regret it. Just go for it! one of the best phones i have ever used. Not gonna change for some time now!

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, hopefully I can get this deal done.

I ditched my OG to get a GS4. Haven't regretted it for a second. The OG isn't a bad phone by any means, but the camera is just wretchedly awful by comparison. The GS4 has a much better screen too. If the camera isn't a big deal to you, though, the OG is still a surprisingly great phone.

I had the lgog the day it came out traded that for a gs3, then iPhone 4s 64gb then have that to my dad. I ended up with an iPhone 5 32gb on release date. I traded his iPhone for a iPhone 5 16gb now our contracts are up and are really getting Annoyed with the spotty coverage. So till December we switch to Verizon. Yea it might be pricey. But you get what you pay.

He had a lot of trouble with Sprint in his area and mentioned awhile back that he would probably switch phones/carriers. Running a search of his most recent posts it looks like he moved on to the HTC One X. I don't know if he still has his E4GT and is going to be dev'ing for it but you could probably PM and ask him.
Hate to lose him but certainly understand needing a phone/carrier that can be depended on.
He moved on to at&t

I know he's a fellow puertorican. If he is living in the island then he probably changed to ATT because here Sprint sucks. I'm considering paying the ETF and going with either ATT or TMo. Even any of the local carriers are better than Sprint...

He was completely disgusted with Sprint especially their horrible modem implimentations when he moved on.
I heard he was abducted by aliens so he could make roms for them but the spaceship couldn't make it out the earths atmosphere so now he's being held against his will in an unknown location until they get another space craft to repair the first one and then any rom he creates after that will be out of this world.

Lol don't even waste your money. I remember getting an iPhone 2g knockoff called a "sciphone" back in '09 for like a $100. Man that **** was cheap lol
Now if they were asking $75-$100 for this knockoff, then ok.. but for almost $300, you might as well save for a real s3

I'm a bit undecided as to where I'm going. The Eclipse looks nice, as do the Nexii rumors, as do the EvoLTE and SGS3. I doubt I would want the GNote2 though, unless someone can convince me why it's not too big, especially since I already have a tablet.

Most of the devs working on Exynos (like codeworkx and Entropy512) can't stand it, so I think I will be avoiding that. Plus from a hardware standpoint, the quadcore A9 is about equivalent to dual core Krait, so quad core Krait will kick its ass. Plus the Adreno 320 GPU in the S4 Pro processors is supposedly as powerful as the Xbox 360's GPU. It is the fastest SOC on the market. Plus, 5.5 in is pretty big especially considering that I already have a tablet. Although, I have never used a note so I would probably at least give it a chance at Sprint.

Mines the opposite. 10 years of crap service, now decent service. They added a tower in my area in 2010. Been with Sprint since 1999.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
I have been with Sprint since '98 and I have been very happy with my service until the last couple of years... seems to be about when the iPhone arrived at Sprint (coincidence?).
I am still very happy with the voice service, reasonably happy with the price but the data network has gone to crap. If I did not have Wifi at home and work (where I spend most of my time) I would not be able to stand it. It was good for a little while when I could get Wimax on my Evo in spots. Now that I have upgraded to the S3 I am playing the waiting game again... wondering when Sprint will fix the 3G and bring LTE. I am patient and I will stick by Sprint for a while longer... no way I am going to VZ or ATT. Not sure which is worse. Not sure TMO is an option for me either.
Been with them since 09. Lol
