So my Sprint 2-year contract has expired and my father and I are looking to upgrade our EVO 4G's.
Question is, is the Galaxy S III the phone we should get? Or is there something better right around the corner?
-Thanks! :good:
Just get it. There is always something better around the corner.

This.
It's only two years and you're going to have a cell phone for those two years anyways... I think two years is a pretty good interval for replacing cellphones anyway.
id leave sprints ****ty internet speeds and go to att then get the s3

I don't believe ANY phone is worth a 2-year contract! But that's me...
I've been buying un-contracted phones for 3-4 years now and haven't looked back
If you're on Sprint, you may want to consider the EVO 4G LTE too. I've played around with a friends and it's pretty sexy stuff.
Is it worth the upgrade, YES!
Any other choices... well, you could always buy the original Epic for around $200 off contract, and have a phone that runs CM9 (ICS) and will be getting CM10 (JB) when the rest of the officially CM supported phones do.
I upgraded my GF's ET4G to the SGS3 right away, but you couldn't pry my original Epic out of my hands at this point
Also, I would NOT get the HTC, period, end of story.
And there is always something better around the corner.. ALWAYS... ROFL!
It depends on the service you have where you are,but im sure you can do better then sprint.never been impressed with them. Check Tmobile.

I don't have many options carrier-wise in my part of the country, so that makes the contract a bit more worth it. AT&T is the only carrier with reasonable signal in my area, so the freedom an off-contract phone would grant me would not be worth the price. I'd rather get the subsidized price!
I'd say go for it! But if I was you I would look into another carrier. Sprint 3G is god awful! I switched to ATT and I love their service out where I live. Fast and much better speeds. One thing to consider if you like to root and flash the Verizon version has a locked bootloader.

My contract with Verizon ended yesterday so now I'm month to month on my unlimited data plan for my wife and I. I'm really having a hard time deciding what my next phone will be. We're both still rocking the OG Droid, and while Verizon has its holy trinity of new phones out now, each one of them has things about it that turn me off, so I've been having a hard time picking which one to go with.
Meanwhile, Amazon has its penny pincher sale going on and I'm really tempted to just get a Galaxy S2. It's not a perfect phone either, but it has more of the total package for me than any other phone right now and to get 2 of them basically for free is hard to pass up. I keep playing with it at Best Buy and going back to the ridiculously gorgeous screen and insane performance. I'd also be able to save a little money monthly as I could get a plan with fewer minutes on AT&T due to the unlimited mobile to any mobile package they have.
With that said it'd tough to justify leaving Verizon. Their service has been incredibly reliable for me over the last two years, and unlimited data is tough to give up. Looking at my usage over the last few months it looks like I don't ever use much more than a gig of data on either line, but part of that is b/c my Droid sucks for any kind of multimedia and VZW's 3G is pretty slow. I think I could manage with the 2 gigs on each line, but I hate to give up unlimited on general principle. I'm also worried that AT&T's coverage won't be as reliable as VZW's, although I do like that their 3G speeds are much better so it wouldn't be the all or nothing type performance that VZW's cdma/LTE combo gives.
Has anyone else made this kind of switch, and does anyone think it's a good move or should I just stick with VZW?
For what it's worth I live in the Denver area so if there's anyone on here in that area I'd love to hear your thoughts on AT&T's coverage.
Why don't you wait a few more days and check out the Galaxy Nexus?

Well I believe Amazon's 1 cent sale only runs through Monday, so if I was going to pull the trigger on a switch I'd like to do it while I can get the GS2 basically for free.
As for the Nexus, I'm sure the user experience is going to be amazing on it and the screen is probably killer as well, but lack of an SD slot and kind of an average camera for such a high end phone has kind of turned me off to it. Eventually I'll get ICS on whatever phone I get, but I won't be able to improve the hardware of whatever phone I get.
The phone that I like best of the big 3 on Verizon is the Rezound actually. The screen is very nice and it has all the features I want. I expect it to be a beast when it gets rooted. With that said, the GS2 is just such a smooth phone.
I was thinking the opposite ..would it be stupid to leave at&t on unlimited w/ gs2 still within 30 days return and head to Verizon. :/

The iPhone 2 trick still gives any at&t user unlimited data for $30 a month.
I completely understand what you mean about the selection at Verizon though. Their phones are just not competative.
I have a few friends that were really looking forward to getting the sgsii when if came to Verizon. They were all mad when it came out that Verizon turned down the offer of getting the sgsii. Sure the nexus will be going there first, but it's not mind blowing. Really thought google would've went above and beyond with 'their' phone.
I've really been loving this phone. I waited 1 1/2 years to get this phone. Not this particular phone, but one that had all the high points. Fast dual core, 1gb ram, great screen, nfc, solid dev support. While I'm sad it didn't come with an FM radio, I really couldn't ask for anything more out of this phone.
In my opinion, if you don't go for this phone, wait for the quad cores. They'll be coming somewhat soon. I can't see any reason to go with another phone (with the exception of the Samsung note, but I know I'd use that screen size for my work).

Well there was a thread on it but either it's been deleted or I just can't find it.
By putting your sim card into an Iphone 2 it force upgrades your plan to unlimited. Part of how that phone was designed. There's a few more steps than that but the rest can be found by searching google, and if the other thread was deleted I don't want to be the cause of this thread getting removed.

Was also going to mention the iPhone trick. The SGS 2 is a really nice phone. I had the I9100. Two of my friends have the ATT version and they are identical except the domestic version doesn't have the physical home button. There is even a hack to get I9100 rome on the ATT version now.
If you can get that phone for a penny it is definitely a good deal. Head over to the xda marketplace and see if there is an OG iPhone available. Several of the regulars have them.
The best thing about ATT is that you can swap phones at anytime...if you're a phone whore like me that's a big deal
Good luck bro!

I would for sure reccomend this phone. I came from a dumbphone to this, so anything was better, but everything you talked about liking is exactly why this phone rocks. I picked mine up at radio shack for $50 but that was because I only had an upgrade. I still feel like I got a steal. Pull the trigger!

The phone itself is AMAZING, but I don't know if I could recommend it enough to leave unlimited data. My personal 2 cents.
I would see how att's coverage is in your area. Every place is different. Here it's about the same as Verizon but i know plenty of places where it is not. Verizon's 3g is God awful, but their lte is so bad ass. Unlimited data is not an issue as others have mentioned. Good luck

This phone is the best. I went to this phone from a Verizon galaxy s. I still have my Verizon account though. And am going back as soon as galaxy nexus comes out. And I think galaxy s2 may just be better. But......att is not as good as Verizon. Their data speed tests about twice as fast Verizon but ping is twice as slow. So in actuality they are pretty close in speed. That is until Lte. And 3g here drops off once you leave main cities. On Verizon 3g is everywhere. I really miss Verizon and can't wait til galaxy nexus comes out. I just ordered a rezound for my girlfriend so I'm gonna use that til gnex and let her use the sgs2. And I really love this phone. It perfect. But not worth att. Also since switching I have noticed call quality go down and more dropped calls. Not that anyone really uses the phone anymore. My mom got a thunderbolt and Lte is nice. Quick tests I got 100 ping and 9 down and 6 up. So yeah. Stay with Verizon. They really are better. Even if att has the best phone. And I'm really disappointed with the gnex. Camera seems to be a flop and I think anything bigger than the sgs2 is too big. There are many times I have to stretch my fingers to the top. Not bad but this is the limit. This is all from a heavy user.

Depends on your area I guess. Does Verizon have more of a reliable coverage area for you, or does AT&T?
Also, how much data do you and your wife consume? If not a whole lot, 2GB may be fine for you until you do the iphone trick. If you do use a lot of data, then having unlimited already with Verizon might be a dealbreaker for you.
Remember, new phones are always coming out. Just because Verizon dosent have any phones that you REALLY like right now dosent mean that they wont have any next month or after the first of the year.
Iphone 2g tricks is the way to go with att. Did it myself and hooked up my friends do. Still works ;-)

I am torn trying to decide whether it's a wise move to switch from T-mobile to AT&T to get the Note. I'd hate to switch then 1 month later the phone comes to T-Mobile. It pains me thinking about AT&T but I really want this phone. Using it on 2G won't work for me. Has anyone switched or are there other people that feel the same?
I replaced my Sensation with an AT&T Note hoping that we can get T-Mobile 3G working on it sometime soon. For the time being, it runs just fine. I am near WiFi 90% of the time anyway, and those LTE speeds aren't too shabby of a backup plan.
BTW, this phone is the best device that I have owned. Even with EDGE and Gingerbread, this is better than my previous combination of a Sensation running ICS and a Transformer Prime.
I am on the the boat... I am coming from Sprint... I wanted this phone so decided to give the 30 day trial a try... The data service is slower than the sprint service here at home... I'm running edge with at&t and its slooowww... But I love this phone... The screen is awesome... I describe it as having a 1080p tv.. I have the the galaxy sii and it feels like running 480 tv. its like night and day... Just my opinion...
If you are thinking about getting the note.. Try to get it at 50% off through the at&t website... Don't cancel your service with t-mobile... If you decide that your going to keep it then you can just port your number over to the note.. And they wont charge you if you do it before the 30 days...
Also if you keep it, and tmobile gets this phone in a few months... You can just pay the EFT of 325... and if you add the 150 you paid it comes out to 475 total for phone... thats good compared to what the retail price is... 699... just something to think about...

I was on TMOUS with my samsung galaxy tablet 7" with cell phone enabled, and rooted.
Switched to ATT for speed, and now I am using the NOTE, and it kicks all other cell phones I have had. love the screen and the response.
@towncop1978 Unfortunately, I have a family plan so ETF would be $650. Also, I tried the 50% off and for whatever reason it doesn't work with a family plan. Unless I was doing something wrong.
I think its worth the switch. That's what I did, I had the GS2 with T-Mobile and canceled my contract sold the GS2 on ebay and haven't looked back.

I switched from T-mobile to At&t for the G-Note. I have a Tmobile G2X and am test driving the At&t G-Note for 30 days. So far its a keeper. Unless T-mobile can pull a rabbit outta their hat and snag either the G-Note or the LG Optimus VU, its adios amigos
I switched I had the sensation which was aggravating after a while... at&t speed where I'm at is a bit faster than Tmobile's so I'm very happy

The Note is a great piece of hardware. AT&Ts HSPA+ speeds are surprising the heck out of me after using Verizon and Sprint 3G for the last year and a half.
If the SERVICE is good or better than what you have now, no reason not to switch! However, dont get caught up in the hardware if the network cant provide whats needed to keep it working. Just something to think about.

I switched from TMo to At&T about a week ago specifically for the Note. I loved my Vibrant, but it was ageing and I had to move on. I went from $50 for unlimited everything to paying twice as much for 450 min/unlimited txt/5g data. On the good side my company pays 75% of my bill so I'm still paying less then I was at TMo, I just miss not worrying about data usage. I never make phone calls so minutes I couldnt care less about. So far I'm happy with it, but would switch back in a heart beat if TMo released the Note on their network.
I came from Verizon had had the iPhone 4S been drooling for the note ever since I saw the international one then AT&T releases it good times got 30 days to decide but it's not looking good for the iPhone
Great, here goes the resale of my Photon after I paid $630.00!
http://wireless.amazon.com/f/springsprint?tag=phandroid-20
I feel for you. When I bought my Photon, it was off CL and there was a zillion of them for sale. I seriously doubt the Photon has much resell value which sucks but at least its a solid phone.
I was chatting with another member who has Photon, cardock, HD Dock, smart controller, bluetooth keyboard for $650.00. I dont see this happening!
With the LTE announcement, honestly, I was just going to give my Photon away when the SG Note hits Sprint!
Hello,
At least on my local Craigslist, the Photons still fetch a decent amount. In addition, on Ebay, the prices are not in the gutter.
When it comes to upgrade, I am hoping the fact I also have the HD Dock, Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard, and Mouse, will bring a high enough amount to offset the next phone I get as I am eligible for an Upgrade after May 18th.
As a former Premier Gold Member, I have until December to take advantage of my last Annual Upgrade from what I have been told. I am really hoping Sprint comes out with another Motorola Flagship Handset before December. All I know is that whatever one I get must be LTE. I really hope it does not end up being a Crapple iPhone 5. From what I have read, the 5 will offer LTE and after my EVO3D experience, I am pretty soured from getting another HTC. Thus, the choices by December might be pretty slim.

@Jungle Jack, after I read your post I thought of something, my Photon cost $630.00 no contract, you can get Photon for $0.01, but your married to Sprint for 2 years and if you want divorce, it will cost you $300.00 or so anyway. Therefore, you could get a decent price from CL or FleeBay!
With that said, I have been playing with phones since early 2000 (BB!), this is by far one of the best phones currently on the market. We have a ton of Photon users that jump ship for SGII, then a month later come back.
The only thing I'm waiting on is Samsung Galaxy Note! Which when I played with it, is light years ahead of Photon! WAY faster (1.4Gzh Processor), Cool UI that you can draw and cut-&-paste with pen, true 1080P HD, and a beautiful TV for a screen!! (5.4")
I am amazed at the prices people are paying!
They are available on Craigslist in the cities I frequent (LA and NYC) for $200-$250 in NEW condition all the time.
And I agree, it is a GREAT phone. It just works the way it should 100% of the time. And battery life is way better than any other Android phone I have had.
Hello,
This is by far my favorite phone by leaps and bounds. Funnily enough, my second favorite was a Motorola StarTac that Sprint offered for a very limited time it seems.
Granted, being with Sprint since the late 90's, we did not always have access to be latest and greatest handsets.
It has gotten a great deal better starting with the HTC EVO 4G. I just wish Sprint and Motorola had a better relationship as I am quite fond of the Droid RAZR, but do not think we will be getting a Sprint version. I am simply hoping for simply a freshening up of the Photon before my Upgrade is void. With there reported to be a multitude of LTE Devices on their way before the end of the year, perhaps there will be a Motorola Android LTE Device...
Cheers,
J
and another thing, we have dual bands (CDMA and GSM) witch is another selling point driving the price!

I have seen a few on FleeBay but nothing really flips my wig? To be honest, I rarely use clip on Defender (Likely because it winter and I have a coat and need quick access?)
I'm really digging the Galaxy Note Presige Vintage G-Note Diary Series. Room for money and Credit Cards. And if it does not add too much bulk and still fits in pockets.................otherwise, I will continue to look at holsters also.
EDIT: BTW, Photon is not only phone for $0.01, they have a 4G yard sale! With the announcement of LTE, and the 2015 death date, they need to do 2 things. 1. Get you into a 2 year marriage you can jusitify. 2. Dump the inventory of WiMax Phones. I don't have WiMax where I live and will never get it, so a 4G phone means nothing to me over a phone that is solely 3G!
All,
I'm a Verizon customer and I just picked up the Droid DNA off-contract a week ago. I hate my life now that I can't unlock or S-Off because Verizon sucks - coming from a GNex is even worse since I flashed all the time on it. Question is, is it worth it to make the switch to AT&T/T-Mobile/Sprint to pick up the HTC One? On the off chance Verizon does pick it up it'll probably have the bootloader locked anyway.
I have an upgrade on my Verizon line in August and I've been holding out hope that the next Nexus will come to Verizon but that's probably unrealistic as well. Is the One worth a switch to a new provider? FWIW I leave in South Jersey near Philly so anywhere I go will most likely get service from any provider. Also, I wouldn't incur a ETF from Verizon because I'm on my parent's line and would just wait till that's out to cancel if I switched today..Help!!

Figured that, LTE faster than Verizon?
Also, does ATT have a no contract plan like T-Mobile does? Where you pay monthly installments on the price of the phone?
I just recently switched from Verizon and ATT's LTE is way faster. Granted I did lose my unlimited data, the coverage with ATT is pretty darn good and I'll have the option to unlock and use a month to month plan should I choose (more variety of carriers on GSM)
I don't believe ATT has the plan where you pay the monthly price of the phone though.
If your mind is sent on the HTC ONE, I suggest you sell the DNA on eBay while the phone is still in demand and still very popular on Verizon. You won't take much of a hit and you could use the money to purchase the ONE.

worth!
htc one has the best design of android phone
Verizon has the best network over all, but the phones are lacking. Phones come out late, are locked down and are crippled. For me I like the choice of phones that AT&T offers. Also, since their phones are of the GSM variant, there is an abundance of International ROMs and mods available.
In the end what counts though is the coverage in your area. In my area both AT&T and Verizon offer LTE with good coverage. If you do have an unlimited data plan on Verizon, I would think twice before switching. Verizon unlimited data is truly unlimited with no throttling.

The One is a good phone, although if I was going to get a new phone on Verizon today it would be the LG G2 without any hesitation, it is clearly the leading phone for hard core Android users right now stuck on Verizon. The HTC One would not disappoint though.
Also note that the HTC One Max just started being silently sold by Verizon today, it's a monster though.... 5.9" screen and 3300mAh battery will make it large and heavy, but if you really like HTC and can live with the $300 contract renewal price tag... well, your call I guess.
Are you really tied to Verizon? If not, consider the Nexus 5 and a GSM prepaid SIM... not only is it an amazing phone but it would save you up to $55 per month for comparable service over Verizon.

Also note that the HTC One Max just started being silently sold by Verizon today, it's a monster though.... 5.9" screen and 3300mAh battery will make it large and heavy, but if you really like HTC and can live with the $300 contract renewal price tag... well, your call I guess.
Are you really tied to Verizon? If not, consider the Nexus 5 and a GSM prepaid SIM... not only is it an amazing phone but it would save you up to $55 per month for comparable service over Verizon.

I was thinking about the one max but the reason I want to get it is because some of the devs from here are switching over to the one and one of the devs from my thunderbolt days also has the one and ive always had an htc phone its what im used to really. I dont go for the aosp look I wouldnt stray from htc. Another reason is because ive never had any problems with there phones EVER with the thunderbolt I heard there were many issues of random reboots on sense but I never experienced any with the rezound it was overheating issues and mine hasent done that either.
I tried pageplus since ive heard that they use verizons towers but the reception was bad... I dont live in mesa AZ anymore I live out in the country in CA now and verizon is the only carrier that works out here.
Wish that was true where I live... With anything other than Verizon you'll have crap signal if your not in your car on the main roads.

my Friend has a samsung s3 and his reception is always spotty ... Ive heard that since the antenna on htc phones is in the cover itself and that it gets better signal but others say that htc always exaggerate the signal you may have..
Another part of the equation is do you currently have unlimited data and if so do you want to keep it...

Never had unlimited so that's not a problem. I also live half an hour out of town lol. No Verizon=no service.
