I would like to know which phone you are upgrading from and what do you think of SG3 compare to your old phones.
I am thinking of buying the SG3 but I think people will think differently depending their previous phone experience.
Just had a xperia s from Sony for a couple of weeks, as soon as I saw this device at work I sold my Sony and bought this beast...

I am pgrasing from Nokia E7 ( about 1 year old). Loved the hardware keyboard, BUT even with BELLE upgrade it was just becomming a laggy disapointment...
The S3/III (is it a three or iii?) is a BEAST. Amazing screen, Android is customisable and it just flies through everything I do.. Love it

Upgraded from a iPhone 4S and well worth the upgrade!
Will be upgrading from the HTC Rezound whenever Verizon gets around to shipping my pre-order. Too bad to as the Rezound is an excellent phone that unfortunately has almost no developer support.
Upgrading from the HTC EVO 3D.

From this GS2, had the GS3 for 2 days and yet to switch it on. Went for the white one but really not sure about the colour, tempted to send it back and get the blue one. Surprised I've lasted this long tbh

like the OP I came from the iPhone 3GS. It was my one and only ever Apple product. IMO back in summer 09 nothing matched it even from android. Now things have changed.
I still have to sell my 3GS I keep stalling. I have it rooted (can't unlock it long story) and is a 16GB. Any idea on what I could get for it?
HTC Inspire
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA
HTC Inspire here too! I still have it as a backup phone, the ICS roms available for it rock, a lot of fun to play around with for sure.
iPhone 3G, i got an x10 mini to replace that but the email client on it sucked pretty bad (got it for cheap and didn't want to spend the $ to buy the unlock code so i could try cm7, no idea why but the latest modem doesn't allow the sim to keep on working)
the SGSII is just great, i'm still unsure if i'll get the iphone5 or stay with android.

Pretty solid phone. I'd have a Nexus right now, but for better or worse (both, IMO), I had to switch to AT&T So, I opted for the GS2 which I had been drooling over for months anyway.

Not much of an upgrade. I'd wait until the new series of phones come out (HTC One-X, SGSIII).

This... Hold out for a little longer and you'll feel like you really upgraded instead of just changed phones.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I'm thinking of this too. If the size isn't an issue for you then I'd say go for it. Better screen res, bigger, bit faster, it's god damn sexy. If I had the cash I'd do it today, but I have to wait a bit.
better wait for SIII
change to galaxy note now? from an sgs2
sgs3 will come in march. htc one x is there
there is no reason at all to step back to an old phone
I would definetely wait for the SIII! The SII isn't an old phone so i would just wait a few months until the SIII becomes cheaper. But if you really love the GNote, then just go for it
I made that upgrade and I just love my Note, screen size is just perfect for me. Im not waiting for SGSIII I'm gonna hold to this Note and upgrade it when Note II/or Note S is out
Played with Note few days and first impression is that it is slower than SGS2 but with better screen..........it is too big for my taste and everyday use so i will stick with SGS2...........
Note too big for me.
will keep using gs2 until gs4 or 5, until gs2 get old. get slower when android os upgrade to 4 5 6.......

What I am wondering is whether most people are making a small incremental jump in their phone (such as S2 to S3), or a huge jump.
I'll go first... I currently have an HTC Desire HD. It is nearly 2 years old now and it has done me amazingly. I plan on running a custom rom on the S3, just like I did on my DHD. With that in mind I may not notice as bigger difference as some people, although that all depends on what CM9 has in store for us.
How about you guys?
I got a Galaxy S2 and a iPhone 4S. And soon a Galaxy S3?
I got a S2. I upgrade to get a bigger screen.

Most people are making relatively small upgrades. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised that the people on XDA seem to be phone addicts!!!
I cant believe the number of people who have two phones! How come... work and business, or different networks to ensure signal?

Coming from a SGS1, stupid 2 year contracts. While the SGS3 will be a big upgrade for me, by the time the SGS3's 2 year contract is up I will be thinking it's old hat and drooling over whatever 4K resolution, octo-core 3Ghz 5" beast Samsung have out at the time.

Same here. Long time HTC fan, coming from an HTC Desire S (1yr old). First Samsung phone for me. Hope it doesn't disappoint. My only concern is if i'll be able to live without sense. But seeing what they've done to Sense 4, I'm not sure i'll be able to live with it anyway... IMHO, Sense 3.5 was the pinnacle of HTC's Sense UI... Sense 4 seems like a downgrade, so I think i'll be fine (fingers crossed)
The original Galaxy S. Looking forward to the S III
At the moment Huawei Ideos X5, HTC Wildfire and Transformer Prime. Huawei being my main phone at the moment. I traded few months ago my SGS2 to Omnia W and then got rid of it pretty quick, because the WP wasnt my thing. Been waiting for SGS3 since then.
Coming off the horrible HTC Touch Cruise i went on and got the first iPhone. That was a revolution! I´ve since had all the iPhones up to my current iPhone 4. Now I feel the time is right to check out the *other* side of The Force.

Going for Samsung again?
Going over to HTC?

S3 no doubt I'm due for an upgrade so I'll be in line as soon as its available
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
I'm hoping to still get several more months, maybe a year, out of my Vibrant, so that's TBD right now. But if it died on me today I'd pick up a Galaxy Nexus since they're (relatively) cheap without a contract.
S III. Going to get an upgrade on October, so might as well, unless a better phone comes out during then (not planning to get an iPhone any time in the future.)

Same!
My 2 years are officially up in August. I'm hoping there will be some sort of leak for the next Nexus phone because I'm not blown away with the S3. :/
I think I could get another 6-8 months out of my phone but I'd rather upgrade to a phone that actually allows me to get 4G data and fully functional GPS.
Next iPhone
One x
Note 2
Or one of the next Nexus phones.
I'm waiting for the padfone myself.
Already have the GSM Nexus, but I switch off every other day with my Vibe. I just love the Vibe!

So far all indications point towards me getting a GS3

So far, I love everything about it. Especially the lack of bugs (and abundance of features) in AOSP based roms and kernels!

I'm curious what it is about the Vibrant that you like over the Nexus that keeps you going back to it? Been looking at the Nexus, but still really satisfied with my Vibrant and don't want to invest in a phone that's not a significant upgrade.
Got a one s. I thought the lack of removable battery and no sd card slot would kill it, but I don't see it bothering me much. Galaxy s 3 would have been my choice but I heard its gonna be watered down anyway.
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2
Sounds like most of you are going for either the Galaxy SIII or the Galaxy Nexus.
My only worry in this regard is the screens.
The screen is what draws you to the device and Super AMOLED HD screens (minus the plus) just don't do it for me.
But yeah my phone is just dying. So glad I didn't keep that Moto Cliq around though... THAT would be a nightmare.

So I guess you've decided it for me!
I'm going with Samsung again and getting a Galaxy SIII!
Snapdragon S4 processor is ok,
2GB RAM will put me in a haze,
Let's just hope battery life better than the Vibrant's graze.
Alright guys, I recently picked up a new Galaxy S III with a nice new 64 GB microSD card. After about a week of using it, I began to not like it anymore. And the reason why I stopped liking it, is because I thought about purchasing a Nexus 7. And I thought in my head, like many Android devices, it would be fragmented from my Galaxy S III. Yeah, I could've put Jelly Bean on it. But I didn't want to. I bought the Galaxy S III specifically for NatureUX. I sold my Galaxy Nexus and my iPhone 4S so I could get this phone and then have some extra cash.
Now, I have a brand-new Galaxy S III just sitting in its box waiting to be returned to Amazon, and no smart phone. So I'm using my Nokia N95, which I'm kinda loving all over again. But I look over at my little box, and open it up and mess with the Galaxy S III and wonder if I'm making the right choice. There's a new iPhone on the horizon... There's even possibly a new Nexus device on the horizon. I don't know if I should just stick to my N95, and wait for something newer. I know the S III is NOT a bad choice at all. It's relatively future-proof and what not...
I would appreciate it if some of you weighed in on this, because I am prepared to send it back Monday morning. Let me know what you think, thank you.
yes, you are kinda crazy.
but old nokias are good so you can keep using it and later in the future remove the dust from your gs3

Maybe stop thinking about other phones and be happy with what you have, to put it into perspective
Are you well fed?

Do you have shelter?
Yes to all?........sorted

Sell it and wait for either i5 or next nexus if you already dislike it dude.. I would

What a dumb, self-serving thread. There will always be better phones coming down the pipeline. You want us to beg you to keep the S3 or something?
I'll tell you one thing that I've learned.
You can't keep thinking about future devices.
Every 6 months a new (maybe better) device is released.
If you keep thinking about the future, you'll NEVER buy any device, because you are always looking ahead.
Just stay with the best TODAY, and in the future, if there's a new device that you like, you buy it.
There's always people to buy your previous device in the future if you want to sell it.
Since you already packed it nicely, so just send it home

No one can really make a decision for you I'd wait to see what the iPhone 5/Next Nexus bring then make your decision.
I would never consider selling a smart phone for a tablet... If it means no more smartphone (for the record I have a s3 and a n7).
