How many pulling trigger on the Galaxy S3?

[Merc1138]

If that's what you're after, I'd get the One X just because it doesn't have the crappy pentile screen. Why is the crappy pentile screen an issue? Depends on whether or not you see the fuzzy-ness. If you can't, then it won't matter. If you can see it, get the One X.

A 720p display alone isn't something that I'd bother upgrading my S2 for either(it is a plus, but that alone doesn't really outweigh everything else about the phone).

I pulled the trigger on a blue 32GB S3 today. Tomorrow is the last day for Verizon customers to upgrade and still be grandfathered into an unlimited data plan and I wasn't going to let that go by. It should be here the 12th and I already have a class 10 64GB SDHC card to go in it.

Now I just have to decide on a case and a charging stand. Right now I'm thinking the Amzer Piano Dock but I'm torn between pocket carry in a Samsung Flip Cover or belt carry with an Aduro Shell Holster Combo Case. I may just start with the Aduro because it's a lot cheaper and see how I like it.

Update: I ordered the Amzer dock and the Aduro cover/holster for now. Supposedly the Amzer dock accepts phones with thin enough cases.

I'm done with Samsung. Every single smartphone of their that I've had or used has had problems. Their Galaxy line gets much undeserved hype. The HTC One X is a much better handset.

Not being able to change the battery is a thumbsdown.

The swappable battery was a big plus for me on the S3, that and an open microSD slot.

Umm.. huh? One of my co-workers sitting maybe 15ft from me has one(and as I figured, I hate the pentile screen).

We've been getting them without issue... its a corporate account so maybe that has something to do with it. We've ordered and received a handful of them so far.

Samsung phones notoriously have THE WORST radios. They are also made like ****. No thanks!

I've got a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon that I'm pretty happy with. I haven't noticed any real bugs or issues, other than it takes a bit too long to rotate the screen when you turn it. That's about my only gripe though.

I'm not gonna be upgrading my phone for a while. I'm one of the last surviving Unlimited Data Plan customers on Verizon, and I got a 4G phone before they completely did away with those plans.

I love the fact that I'm in the fairly unique position of having all-you-can-eat 4G data, but it means that if I want to keep it I'll have to pay full price for any future phone I buy or they redo the contract and I lose it.

There is a short review of the S3 a couple of minutes into last Friday's Tekzilla.

I was in the market for one of these until I realized it used Google
and now that I know Google is anti 2A, I guess I'll wait for the MS
tablet.

Ordered the blue 16 gb thru Amazon (AT&T) on Monday. They emailed yesterday and said there will be a delay. Not too surprised.
