Hey Guys, currently running an iPhone 4S (I know; it's ****, work compulsory item unfortunately. Apparently I can't use an Android phone. ) Well; I've left that company to join another one so I can finally get an Android! YAY! I'm not really happy with the Nexus 4; No expandable storage. Something that is a must for me.
So; my question is, should I get a Galaxy S3 or wait for the next phone?
Thanks for your help in advance!
If you don't know why maybe you should not buy one.

I wanted to know what would be better to invest my money into. I'm pretty sure I want the S3 but I just wanted some others opinions on it.

Everybody will tell you a different story. For some SGS3 is a piece of crap, for me it's my dream phone come true. The only one near as good as the SGS3 is the Note but for me it's too big.

No you are a bit of a dumbo .
You say better waiting for the next phone ??
A logical question is what next phone the SGS4 ??? or some other phone that is due ???

From a galaxy s3 far far away
If you can find one without defects, take a OneX, or better, a OneX+....i changed 3 OneX, all of them defective in a way or in another, and then i gave up and bought an S3, which is a great phone, but to me it doesn't have that premium feeling...
I had this feeling when I bought desire HD (just when it came out) till I found out there won't be an update to ICS. Now if you look at let's say Jelly Time thread, 4.1.2 runs ok on it, but HTC won't help with the development (even in a form of a "leak" or any other). They have forgotten about this phone after about a year. Ignored the petition signed by tens of thousands. So if you think Apple is poo, think again. Buy any phone but not HTC. They are making great phones, but they have to come to their senses. I hope they will, as their sales and shares are really bad.

Well. I'm a ri-tard. You know like RainMan...
I unlocked my Note and sold it for $350
Went to AT&T store to buy a Note2 with my 50% off work discount. Their system says my discount is 50% off NEW lines. (Which is stupid because then it's more than new line price AND totally different of what my paper from work says)
So, anyways, now I'm on the hunt for something else. BTW: The prices for GN2 and GS3 on Craigslist is INSANE!
I came into this forum with Angst from the other Asshat filled sections of XDA and found a great group of helpful people! (Especially FJ, one of the coolest devs I've ever interacted with!!!) Hopefully I added in something somewhere along the lines.
~Catch ya on the flipside~
HTC one x you can get for a very reasonable price just have to deal with piss poor battery life(my own personal experience maybe you will have different experience) also if you have 350 from your og note you should be able to find a gs3 for not that much more maybe like $50 more on eBay. You may miss the big screen(as if 4.8 is small Lol) but the amount if development on the s3 more than makes up for it.

I had a somewhat simular experience when I bought my Note. The sales rep at the first AT&T store I went to told me I was not yet eligible for an upgrade, based on whatever database he consulted. That was different from what my previous sales receipt said. Rather than argue I went to a different AT&T store in another part of town and found a sales rep that would listen to my side of the argument. She called the mother ship to talk to someone with the right authority and kept the conversation going until I got the Note I wanted. Based on that experience I would suggest trying a different location. Reliance on finding a sympathetic sales rep is NOT a business model I would condone, but this time that strategy worked.

Its been a great run, but I sold my GNote. Purchasing a Nexus 4, so if any of you are are over there in the future, shoot me a PM
Take care, hope you guys get the Jelly Bean update soon
Did it get a fair price. I wanted to do the same until the great nexus 4 drought hit. Then the mixed reviews. Guess that means they are back in stock?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Yep, the nexus 4 is back in stock on the play store. I added it to my cart, so hopefully its still there when I get my money in to my account tomorrow. I got $400 for the GNote which is a great deal I think, considering the Nexus 4 is only $350, so including shipping I think I made a $25 profit or something like that.
I really don't like the screen or the design tbh.
I love my samoled I have an s3 and the note now, just got rid of the galaxy nexus for the s3

My upgrade isn't until March 2014. May likely get the Galaxy Note 3 or the S5. Hopefully they have the 1080p resolution and the octa8 core processor. Also key lime pie. Then again other manufacturer's are starting to build better high end devices. Kind wanna see what they have in store for us in the future. For now the Galaxy Note is still an awesome device in my eyes.

The only reason I have so much faith in development is because when I gave away my captivate I regretted it because it has insane roms! The developers in this forum are solid too..
if they made a 4.5 to 4.7 inch 1080p phone that's fast as hell id jump ship
5inches is good..but for a year now rt I've realized I like the size of the gs3 or smaller way better

The gs3 is just a much better phone in general imo....
The i717 performs horribly in comparison.
I have both and the gs3 is my daily, the i717 tends to just sit in a box until someone will hopefully buy it. I put jellybean on it, played with it for a little bit but even still it was never as smooth or as battery friendly as the s3, not even on the same level.

Honestly when I got mine almost a year ago for 50 bucks though AT&T I'd take that offer. The price just dropped on the note one also. But AT&T just offered to take $100 off the upgrade price of the note two so, I honestly might take it. Told them I'd get back with them about it... Can't make up my mind!!! Ugh =(

You've got to be kidding. Development is booming. We're kicking 4.2.2 when a lot devices don't have 4.1 yet.

many have stated they are more than happy running stock with the Xposed modules. I however am not as most all modules are not working for me. I have evan unrooted, factory reset and rerooted. with no luck.
something has got to happen. I am a diehard Samsung fan, and evan I have been trying to think of a way out.
Was hoping there will be a Mega 2, but it doesn't look like that's goning to happen. I have the AT&T I527 and while I love the screen real estate, it's a huge step back with the locked boot loader.

There is every possibilty there will be no M2, or maybe there will be. With the bootloader issue, it doesnt matter. The Mega has proven this size of phone is possible. The international model proves its popularity. I am sure by this October, someone else will put out the model without bootloader or Knox.
If ATT or Samsung havent figured it out by then, or show that they give a rats ass about their valued customers, they are going to lose a lot of folk.

the most important part of a phone is being able to place and receive calls... if it cant do that then whats the point?

You guys who are leaving the Mega you should give it about a month and go with the GS5. I have a Mega coming today just for ****s and giggles. Note 3 is my primary device and August 2014 I will go with the Note 4.
I'm keeping mine. Other than not being able to flash roms, this phone is a perfect go between device. I rarely carry my Nexus 7 around anymore.
After rooting and removing all the ATT and Samsung bloat....this phone is pretty much perfect! And I am getting used to everything working the way it should....no random rebooting...gps, bluetooth, data, etc always works.
And the huge screen!!!!!!!
