Best phone so far.
3 weeks ago I sold GSM Galaxy Nexus for $350 and purchased a Galaxy S III on 2 year contract with T-Mobile for $200. I would do it again in a heart beat.

I have owned every Android phone that T-MOUSA has ever released and by far this is the best of them all in every sense. This is the first Android phone that is buttery smooth from the box. I also have always hated Manufacturer UI overlays but have grown very fond of TW 4 or what ever it is called.
Ofcourse this is my personal opinion.
Yes yes yes

Wait for the Note 2. But if you can't wait, the S3 is a very good choice.

absolutely agree....This phone stock is badass and everything just works on top of that is buttery smooth. this is the first stock rom that I stayed on and said wow I could get used to this. I stayed on it for quite a while but then had to venture off to cm10 also our development is getting better by the day. Our cm10 based roms are pretty much daily drivers which is awesome cuz a lot of phones either have audio issues or data issues...again everything pretty much just works. The camera on this phone is so amazing especially in low light that definitely wowed me. To sum it all up it is the best phone on the market imo and the best t-mobile has ever had.... Just get it!!! No right now op get in your car and head to the nearest t-mobile store and grab this bad boy

The rest of the thread kinda caps the overall view of the phone and I'd be lieing to say anything other than perfection. Like mentioned a few times already its power and clarity is just amazing and it even makes you wonder if its even worth rooting from first impressions as this community has such an obvious influence over the systems functionality.
Multitasking is a breeze, it handles everything you throw at it and still offers more when you ask for it. Im glad I bought it as much as everyone else here does.

I've been a long time iPhone user, since the first one, and I just bought a Galaxy s3 and can honestly say I don't miss it at all. The new one is just more of the same....
This is probably going to get locked down real fast.....but its definitely a BIG dissappointment. Some of my friends are turning into hypocrites real fast saying they'll buy it. Especially when they told me"I don't need a bigger screen, 3.5 is more than enough" this was when I had the x10, captivate, nexus s etc. iPhone users need to wake up.

I was going to reply, just this..LOL so funny. I had every iPhone ever released until 3 weeks ago, got the GS3 and i couldn't be happier, iP5 is just a minor minor revision, playing catch up to the rest of the world.
The only feature I was eagerly looking forward to in the iPoop5 was NFC, but, nope, mobile payments are now set back a few years for everyone.

Actually, what we really need would be Google Wallet support for our GS3's without the hack-around. But we know that wouldn't work with Apple since they're now Anti-Google. Forget where i saw it... think it was on the news earlier, but i like how they put it. Something along the lines of "There is so much competition between Apple and Google, that Apple decided to recreate the world." in regards to Apple's new maps system.

GS3 owner can have an opinion about other products specially if they are direct competitors, it is not about making he threat about OS vs OS, but general opinions about the product just announced.

Apple is at it again, same old phone design. Lame is what I think it is. Honestly, whats changed? Basically nothing besides LTE. The event was more of a " we sold a billion of these and a trillion of these, and oh yeah heres the new iPhone 5 we gave it a bigger scree, now go wait in line"

This.
Its almost impossible to get (cheap) nfc tags in Canada. I asked a Best Buy rep at the Eaton Centre store in Toronto a couple of days ago, and he had no idea what NFC was.
I was really hoping the new iphone would have it so that it would become 'mainstream', but guess we have to wait another year now. Also, doesn't help that stupid S Beam is incompatible with Android Beam (try transferring photos to any non-GS3 phone, it will fail..till we get updated to JellyBean)

i remember reading reviews almost 'ranting' about how light the galaxy s and galaxy s ii were. people were saying 'too light', 'does not feel premium because phone does not feel substantial in hand', 'iphone is perfect with high quality weight to it', 'sometimes not sure if in pocket or not'. something along those lines.
and i read this on a youtube comment but I think it could hold some truth. could Apple have not included nfc (even if it wanted to/why wouldn't they want to?), because it already finalized its aluminum design? fail.
Would that actually be a step backwards?
No LTE? How 2010..
I was looking at it (virtually) briefly but what draws me to the Note II is the S-pen functionality. No other phone except maybe the Note I offers that at the moment. So there's not really any comparison out there!

Indeed. It is a horrible trend. Losing features and options we had before...why even go back like that , just plain dumb.
i have one on the way; i use 2 phones one for work and the other for personal stuff and i want to see how the N4 compares to my S3 (e.g., to be the personal phone). that is, how it compares in person in every day use. i've used the previous Nexus devices only to give the S and GN to my kids because of the low in-call volume. (i still have the N1 in pristine condition). the shortcomings you guys mentioned definitely weigh against the N4 being "my" second phone, but the only way for me to be sure is to try it out.
Considering the device costs half as much as the Note 2 on the play store I'm sure plenty of people will find it an attractive product regardless of the lack of external sd, removal battery, LTE, etc. Also because it's a Nexus device Google will likely support it for a long time to come.
That being said, had I the option of both devices and price wasn't an issue, I would take my Note 2 any day.

That's a badass combo for sure... Probably the two best phones on the market to date. I too had ordered the N4 and got that email and just canceled and went with the Note 2 and could not be happier. Looking back, I just got caught up in the hype... would have been a huge mistake to go from the One X to that phone.

On the box it's called the galaxy note 2 so it has something to do with the galaxy line. OP, Sprint won't drop the price for awhile. Maybe never. If you want it asap then look to other dealers or buying it used.
I doubt there's going to be a price drop on the Note 2. Not till the Note 3 anyways.. You guys are comparing a phablet to a phone. Price drop for the GS3? Sure, you can already get one practically free..

It's true. If you can't afford it at a certain price then don't buy it. But that's probably why they want to see it go down in price, because they can't afford higher price. Nothing wrong with that. Plus I saw an article that said s3 and note 2 aren't far off in costs to make. In the end the reason for price difference is the cell company trying to make more money cause phone is bigger. I guess it could cost them more but either way just look at the prices for the note 2, started at $299 for new customers, about 3 months and new customers were able to get it for $99 from Amazon.

He's not making up anything man. It IS called a phablet. Yes it's a phone too but it was designed as a tablet. I know the word phablet sounds really stupid but that's the chosen word I guess. How many phones out there have an SPen or have the features ours has? Think about it. Our device already does more than the gs4 ever will and once we get all the new software it will be even better.
Btw op watch the prices on Amazon.com. I got mine for $199 and I've seen it go as low as $169. It's different almost every day.

G3 runs out of the box as well as any phone out there including those running custom roms.... LG has done a bang up job on it. One reason that devs are lagging I suspect.... Good luck to you...
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
Dont really think this post was needed but hey, its here...
The G3 has its drawbacks as any phone does honestly, a locked bootloader is just that. Either wait it out, dont buy it or move along. All this was known prior to buying the phone so its your call, not like its a surprise. The T-Mobile version, being unlocked doesnt have enough base support for Devs to be overly interested in it and will be slow going. Hopefully once a fully working AOSP build is available things, at least for the T-Mobile version should pick up some. If you want an out the box supported phone do research prior to buying it, Nexus, One Plus One, HTC, Motorola etc. Companies that either give you the tolls to unlock, or model lines that are unlocked across all carriers are the way to go now a days...shouldnt be surprising.

So now your wanting the Nexus 6? You said the Note 4 would blow the G3 away so I thought you were set on it. I had Galaxy phones and the Note 2 but got tired of the same design. I'm thinking on trying the Note 4 but still happy with my G3. Also thinking on the Z3 just because it's something different. Last 3 phones were LG G2, Flex and G3. Also thought about iPhone 6 but that probably won't happen.

i thought about the M8 but i couldnt get over two simple things that bugged me, first i didnt feel the screen size was sufficient because of the htc logo on the bottom took too much space and second was the camera, i have a toddler and i need to film everything.... maybe that rumored htc m8-eye..... or nexus x if its not 5.9' size.
so much to love about the G3 as well, if business picks up here in the following month i wont feel the pressure to jump one more time.
love the feel, the size of the screen is perfect, and the bezels alone just make this easily the best looking phone of the year.
