I've never been a big fan of this phone. It started in the first 15 minutes and the overall look of Touchwiz. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the fact that my 1st smart phone was a Nexus One and my affinity for Native android as a result. Anyway.
I just bought a Nexus four and love it. I plan to return it w/i the 14 buyer remorse T-Mobile has. IAfter that I'll either order another N4 or wait for the next Nexus phone. I love the simplicity and ease of use of them. It was so easy to root the N1.
So it's either the next Nexus phone or the Motorola X phone. $$ is important to me, so probably the Nexus.

MotorolaX is gonna be awesome! Hopefully the S5 won't be so gimmicky like the S4, and I hope it looks apart from S4. Nexus 5 will win me over if they have LTE capable and expandable memory.:thumbup:

I think I am going to wait for the nexus also. I am expecting a sleeker device, likely the same screen size. I hope they aren't stupid and put lte and expandable storage as well. If they don't its almost as if the nexus phones are turning into the iPhone.

Expandable storage would be nice but will never happen. Don't care much for lte as I'm on Wi-Fi 99% of the time. The only thing I want to see is a better camera...and maybe made of something other than glass as I've heard it can be quite fragile.

Although not the "latest and greatest," I'm planning on getting the Xperia Z when it comes out. My reasoning is simply I hate the button layout of both the One and GS4, the waterproof-ness, and I think it looks pretty damn good.

Note 3 or....Gasp...iPhone 6.... If Apple adds things such as haptic feedback and a larger display, I'd consider it. I personally like the newer flat UI from iOS, plus I like the social integration part of the software. Android has it's benefits, don't get me wrong, but honestly, I think iOS visually looks better...I don't know if I can live without widgets though
PS, I know I'm going to get flamed for that, but I'm not a fanboy of either...Looking at functionality and design..Nothing wrong with that

I miss my Amaze. That being said... it is taking some time for me to have the S3 feel like an extension of myself. The way my Amaze did. I honestly don't miss this phone when I leave it at home or in the car. Plus the whole issue with not being able to move apps to the external sd (grrrr)!

Yeah, the question wasn't if it's cooler, it was if it's worth it.
I mean, don't be blind, you add so and so money and you get less than so and so value. That was my intention. To tell the truth.
It is cooler, but it's more breakable, my phone has similar features, bla bla bla.
Don't get all "Appley" on me but with Samsung, it's also wrong to be blinded by one company... Even if it's not Apple...
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Absolutely I think its worth it! I was skeptical because I loved my old htc, but I am so glad I moved up to the GS3.
If it were me looking for a new device, I would check out the Note 2 before making a decision. I think itll be out soon.

YES! Im coming from an S2 that was running Jedi Mind tricks rom, and i loved it, but my S3 was pretty much perfect out the box. havent had a problem yet which is why im not in any rush to root and throw a rom on it yet.
Can't go wrong with this phone!
Apsolutely worth it. The S3 is the best smarty phone I've ever had! I just paid $177. to have my screen repaired after I dropped and cracked it. I love this device. Love it.
Did I mention how much I love it?
Well I came from the Gnex and I really like this phone. Touchwiz wasn't too bad but I needed that AOSP back. After flashing Paranoid Android I'm loving this phone a little more than my Gnex. It was with the switch to me. Don't get me wrong though, having the nexus was awesome!

+1. Got the S3 and slapped ParanoidAndroid on it with faux's Ultimate kernel. Hybrid mode on the size of this screen is wonderful. With the dual core S4, and PA with faux's kernel, I can't think of a better phone to have right now.

Project Roadrunner? 4.2

Has anybody heard of this? I did a quick lazy glance here and didn't see it posted so I thought I would. Looks pretty amazing with new features and improving Gnow and improved battery life for Android users. Of course the main concern is in order for us to experience we might have to switch phones or of course wait on our devs to do their amazing work. Thoughts??

To be honest I have no idea if I will but if it's still holding up I might be. Either way I'll probably still own it and use it for a backup! Unless It's lost or breaks I don't replace my phone every year.. I got mine in March which makes it only about 7 months since I first bought it

Lol I know what you mean. But this s2 isn't just any phone, it was built for things beyond what it came with. All I'm saying is if you want this new OS then of course Nexus will be the phone of choice not Samsung and etc. But this phone is good for 2 years in my opinion. I'm also cheap and don't switch phones every few months or every year lol

Your point? We all have to move on at some point. By the time this phone gets 4.2 we'll have some really amazing devices on the market that will make this phone seem like it was from the stone age. Just like this phone makes that HD2 seem like its from the stone age. Idk how people are still using that thing.

I think my next one will be a nexus.. There should be some nice ones coming out soon..
I was thinking.. I'm sure that the galaxy Nexus is a shoe in to get 4.2 and if it can handle the software I am sure that this phone can too!.. It's unlike that tmobile will put in the resources to update this phone after JB but it might be a slim possibility.. Especially since we will have the option whether or not to have OEM skins

Officially I don't think this phone is getting past ICS. I have high doubts about an official TW JB update for it. Only the international GSII has been officially confirmed. As we all know that phone and every other GSII has the exynos SoC so I wouldn't doubt the others can get it easily. But since we have the s3.. idk.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
And I just wanna state that it's obvious that Google is listening to what people want and trying to add it to software updates! We have all been talking about how nice it would be if we had a choice of AOSP or OEM.. And voila! Google goes ahead and appears to be implementing it!.. This is totally opposite of other mobile operating systems (not naming names) that always hold back the features... This is why I will probably stay loyal to android for a long time!

Congrats for the phone. I myself jumped to the wagon of galaxy S2 a year later when s3 was just around the corner. I didn't regret a bit. Same now with galaxy nexus.. Not regretting it a bit.. Got it a fortnight ago. The ready baked development and mature kernels trump it all. Enjoy your phone

Just to know you are not alone, I got my GNex yesterday. Upgraded from my Epic. I didn't want to leave Sprint, so no N4 for me. Decided to save my upgrade for next year and buy a used Gnex off eBay. Infinitely better than my Epic and probably good enough to last me another year.
Jason
I'd prefer this phone over the n4 personally..
ignore all the hate! welcome to the forums
While I would have waited for the N4, don't worry because the Gnex kicks serious ass anyway. A lot of Gnex owners including myself aren't upgrading because the Gnex is a beast!
I'm planning to do the same. Do you think the price will go down when the N4 is released? Really low on money but I just can't take this X2 still on Gingerbread.
Sent from my MB870 using xda app-developers app
Again, you are not alone. I also jumped on this ship. Snatched a Gnex on Ebay for US$232.00 shipped. Great deal. In my case, right now i can't afford the Nexus 4 because spending US$300.00 is out of my reach. Simple as that. And even if i could spend USD$300.00, i would still consider the Gnex over the Nexus 4 because of the storage. 8Gb is waaay to low. 16gb is already low, but i think i can make it with it, but 8gb is out of the question. Not to mention that Play Store doesn't sell devices on my country, but i still wanted a Nexus device for the updates and the optimized software, so this was my only option. Im coming from a AT&T SG2. Great device but not a Nexus.

If your problem is only with large screen then go for it! Because when I bought my S3, my first thought in mind after unboxing was "seriously, why did I even buy this huge phone" (saw S3 first time). Now I don't regret having large screen and I love it now. I'm sure you will get used with it also and start loving the 5" 1920x1080p screen.

My co-worker has it, so I have had a chance to play with it already. It's not much bigger than the E4GT, but I want a phone where I can reach across with my thumb without having my palm activating stuffs on the edge of the screen.
The other reason is the E4GT just start working well enough after all these years, so I'll wait for more stable ROMs first

More stable? I think the ROMs coming out now fire this device are the most stable ones I have ever used, but I'm coming from the EVO Shift.

I'm waiting for the SG4 variant called the Active. Milspec, waterproof, etc. Other than that, I want a Note 2 (yeah, the pixel density isn't as high as the SG4 but whatever).
I don't understand people by saying can I buy this or wait
For what I'm waiting special at this time. I wish my contract could upgrade now. S4 and HTC one both phones are best why not to enjoy with this phone on time . instead of waiting unknown phone and date release come on falks wake up

I would just upgrade. I personally want the HTC One. But I can't upgrade for another year.

The non-removable battery scares me a bit. What is the solution for when it wears out?

I would assume the manufacture warranty would cover it but I'm not sure. Also, it's just my personal preference. I miss HTC and there build quality. The S4 is nice, I would upgrade to it if I wanted another Samsung.

I don't think so. Standard warranties are one year. If it's out of that year, I don't think they'll cover it.

If it last you another year, your upgrade is ready and you get a new phone. But who knows. Go with what you feel comfortable with.
Unremovable battery is not big deal

Galaxy s4 Lte advanced

Guess what was just announced? A new s4 with lte advanced technology, a snapdragon 800 processor, and 32 gig built in storage. Wtf Samsung? I just bought the s4 and now your dishing out a new version making owners of this phone feel disappointed. I'm sick of this bs. I want to make sure I have the top Samsung gadget and for you guys to release a new one 2 weeks after I bought mine is complete bs. I'm no longer going with samstung

Rather than complain, go sell your gs4, buy some cheap phone, save the rest, and wait for the advance to come out and go buy it.

I figured as much. Beside, T-mobile going to start rolling it out by the end of 2013. They will start out lil by lil and im sure by the time it get to your city, something bigger and better than this one you complaining about will be out......when it comes out sell it than.
New technology going to come out every month, samsung will continue rolling out 4 different version of the same thing, either get with the program or well...dont. There's the htc, there's the xperia, and some other i can't think of that i actually care for.

Sorry to say but at least apple won't unexpectedly release random phones to lower the reputation of their flagship. They seem to be the only loyal ones to their customers. Plus iOS 7 is the shi*
