So phone season's coming around and we have a good idea of the phones that will come to sprint. I'm wondering what phones you would get if/when you dump the Evo 3D.
-Galaxy Nexus
-SGSIII
-HTC OneX
If your are going to get a different phone, please tell us which it is in the comments.
Personally, I'd want the Galaxy SIII, but I've had nothing but good experiences with HTC (heh, misspelled THC the first time) so I might go for the OneX. Plus, a lot about the OneX seems pretty good.
iPhone 4S or 5

You guys that mention the Nexus...how will you feel if when JellyBean comes out you end up having to wait as long as the NexusS users have had to wait to get ICS officially?....they have had to wait longer than its taken HTC to get 3 phones the update...
Just something to think about...

Sort of hate to say it, but waiting for iPhone 5 I think

Im shocked by the number of iphone supporters. Id never have guessed there were this many. Im interested in all four equally. Mostly because i wont pass judgement till i hold them. Excited as **** though.
If Apple wasn't so obsessed with having their OS all over their products, and the iPhone also had an android version, I would be all over that.
I think iOS is smooth and overall great, but it just feels too limited for me to use. Even after jailbreaking, you still feel like the whole OS is just an app drawer.
Just want something different been with HTC for awhile. It's not like I don't wait for official updates anyway. I feel like sense is always the same just more eye candy added in different versions

the way i see it if i get galaxy nexus i wont be able to load a sense rom to it, but i can load up aosp to htconex
won't ever get an iphone. i got an ipad when it first came out (still use it as primary mobile computer) and i constantly find shortcomings. by constantly, i mean every time i use it i say "damn, i wish it could do that. it would be able to if i got an andorid tab" so yeah not getting ios again.
Think I'm going to go with the gnex. I'm very interested in the SIII, but my upgrade is up in June and I highly doubt Sprint will have it ready to go around then
right now its looking like the one x for me......unless I get wind if another powerhouse coming. One x rumored June so I'm going with the best available at that time so one x it is.
I can't really see me going Samsung so sgs3 is probably not an option. I'm liking the s4 specs and camera on the one x is a huge improvement. I see dev being great on that one.

Hey everyone!
My upgrade us at the end of May, would you suggest this phone for the upgrade? What are your likes or dislikes of this phone?
Are the beats ear buds worth it?

Hi, i also upgraded from a fascinate and a continuum. This phone is pretty sweet. I would definitely suggest this phone.
The things i loved most about this is the 8mp camera and the big bright screen because i love watching movies on the go.
The beats headphones are awesome, definitely better than the ones i had for my ipod
I upgraded from fascinate, to charge, then this. IMO this is a fantastic phone. I love the camera, and its pretty slim design, similar to the fassy.
Coming from 2 samsungs, with ODIN and all, it was a learning curve to root and flash roms, but if you read everything carefully, you will be ok
When in doubt, ask for help
theetit N1
IMO the only downside is the screen isn't as bright, and the Colors arnt as vibrant. BUT is does have a better resolution.
Would it be better to go to the galaxy nexus, I don't think it's as powerful and I'm not sure I want to stay in the Samsung family.

Personally whenever I'm looking at a new phone (if your gonna be stuck with it for a while) I consider that software can be fixed/changed/updated (thanks to the devs), the hardware not so much.. That being said.. I REALLY miss my fassy and had to upgrade b4 i wanted.. got lazy with not flashing the gb bootloaders >.<
It doesn't feel like a huge leap forward from the fassy, but they are at two different stages in their life cycle. If upgrade you must.. I'd go with the better chipset.. just my 2cnts
Decisions..decisions...

I'm sorry but the comparison of the Gnex and Rezound have been beatin to death...that being said the best thing you can do is stop by the local Verzion store and check out the devices to see which one works for YOU. I have them both and there are some things I really like about the Gnex but it really comes down to personal preference. Currently, AOSP is a work in progress and if you happen to be a person not fond of Sense, the answer is obvious unless you'll be okay with Senseless roms for the time being.
That being said, a lot of the aura has worn off of the Gnex becauase many other devices (including the Rezound) are running ICS. We have some great Developers who work their tails off and a great community.
P.S. The Rezound has dropped to $49.99 and the Nexus is still the same price of $299 IIRC which may also factor into your decision.
Good luck on your decision.
Gnex has terrible radios and an even worse camera. Else wise I loved it. I love my rezound and chose this over the gnex in the end. Even with sense it doesn't feel slower than the gnex. So once we do get cm9 it will make the gnex feel like a joke.
And hey by may who knows what will be available.

Thank you all! If the resound it's still fifty, I'll definitely be going with it, plus the hardware seems way better!

someone offered to trade me a white unlocked galaxy nexus i9250 + $150 for my black At&t Note......tempted....what to do , what to do.....
like the note...but want ics....and sometimes would like a smaller phone....but not sure....
I asked this in the galaxy nexus forum also...just trying to weigh my options..
Id say no but depends your needs. Ics wont change your life. Nice but not enough reason to lose sd expansion and a gorgeous screen. Ics is coming to note soon enough. Faster if you use a custom rom.

Ics would be cool and all but this phone does everything I need without ICS. If I wanted ics that bad, I wouldn't have gotten this device, I would have gotten the nexus.

Coming from a Galaxy Nexus I say pass. I loved the Gnexus but the Note walks circles around it. I do however miss the on screen buttons and vanilla ICS but having stock ICS will come when we get the official release.

There are leaked ics builds already out for the note that work just fine. Not sure why you'd still be waiting for something official from Samsung when it'll look exactly like gingerbread visually (touchwiz).

The Galaxy Nexus is an awesome phone, I've owned every Nexus phone except that one and even though I love the note, I still miss vanilla.
Having said that, just flash the ICS leak, it makes it a lot better.

The three biggest advantages of nexus are
1. Software availability - they have full support of Google.
2. For me Google wallet is a big plus - that alone makes me consider a trade sometimes.
3. True penta band - if you are on T-mobile then this is a great thing too.
Hopefully over time all of the above will be available on Note (perhaps some alternative carrier backed payment system rather than the wallet and the modem from t-mobile Note) - but do you want to wait?
I love the note and don't want any of my friends to see this post but want to be objective here.
On the flip side, I've seen many Nexus users complain about lack of sd card, and the curved screen means you cannot get that cool glass on glass screen protector. Also no LTE for AT&T if you care about it. Tough call, sure
With alpha 2 ics ROM PLUS the tablet mod dagr8 just put out I would never consider it. I love the combination more then words could say

Because once Samsung officially releases ICS, they will be forced to release source code which means we will start seeing REAL ICS development for the Note like Cyanogen or other AOSP projects.
Im personally still completely stock and unrooted because every rom out there for the Note is basically just a themed rom with a few tweaks. I want freedom.
Now, once a complete AOSP version of Android is available, the Note will look just like the Nexus except it will get better support than what Google offers (my brother living next door to me has a Verizon Nexus and is still on 4.02), receiving updates probably at least once a week if not even possibly nightly.
Oh, and my understanding is that Google wallet is still not working on the Verizon Nexus. As far as Google wallet working on the Note, Im not sure if this is a carrier related thing or software related. I know the Note can do NFC, maybe Google prevents it based on what kind of device you have (similar to the Chrome beta).
Just get both.

im thinking about get the galaxy nexus also...$399....tempting..
Only thing that's hard for me to say do it is the camera, this 8MP is gorgeous. I don't know why Samsung put a 5 MP camera in the nexus when they have already had a great 8 out. This by no means it's a replacement to a dslr, but when I do use it, I'd like it to look good, already better than my old Evo's 8+5. I saw it for sale direct from Google for 400 and pumped the brakes when I saw that. They carefully word around it like 1080 and HD, but I don't want high definition blocks. Even this camera to an extent doesn't look GREAT on a 55".

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

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).

I'm considering buying this device, and I was wondering what people think of it, how the development is, and last but not least, how hard is it getting used to the size. I've played around with it for a little bit, but $300 is a little hard to swallow for something I'm unsure of. I appreciate any opinions... BTW I looked for a general talk thread before I posted here

I haven't read many complaints at all. I didn't have to get use to the size, it was nice right away.
Look in the development sections, it was rooted 2 or 3 days after release and the bootloader was unlocked a week later.
There are at least 5 or 6 ROMs out for it at the moment.
I have owned about 12 android phones since the OG DROID.... This is easily the best phone I have ever owned. The size feels normal now... Doesn't feel big at all. I could never go to a smaller screen now. This phone is stupid fast too.... All around awesome
Sent from my most awesome phone EVER!!!!
i have to say this is my best upgrade since going from the curve to the original droid. Ive had the droid x, thunderbolt, charge, and gs3, but this is just another world of usefulness. I havent turned my tablet on since getting it.
I have owned practically every Motorola android phone. This is my first Samsung. I am thoroughly impressed. It's absolutely awesome. At this point it would take me a lot to go back to Motorola - or a smaller phone. I love the size of it. It has almost replaced both my tablets. I would highly recommend it.

Best phone I've owned, I'm 6'5 so the size makes no issue to me. I feel funny holding any other device now. Don't forsee myself ever owning anything smaller. On the other hand, rumors of the n3 being 6.3in are crazy? This device is sized perfectly.
I was also able to haggle with Verizon down to $250, tell them you know a manager in another territory that can ship you phone on discount but you don't wanna wait, tell them you want to walk out with it today (when you go in). Discount is around $60 from a territory manager I know...
Good luck!

No regrets at all I was scared to jump on it but after having the phone for a little while it's amazing.
I think you'll have more trouble getting used to the size of any phone other than this one once you've used it. After one day with this phone I don't imagine I could ever use a smaller phone again. As for development, considering how new it is, it's pretty impressive. We have a few TouchWiz and AOSP roms already. I thought 300 was outrageous at first (considering all other high-end phones are about 200) but considering the amount of phone (feature-wise and physically) it is pretty reasonable. Just go for it. I am (almost) willing to personally guarantee you'll love it.

I just got this phone yesterday. I paid full retail price for it. I thought I would be disappointed, however I love it. I have had the OG droid, the Galaxy nexus, Droid bionic, HTC rezound... and now this. The OG droid was my favorite before this. All the phones in between were pretty bogus, none of them met my expectations. This phone is a massive leap in hardware and software compared to all the others.
You ask that question on this forum.. what results are you excepting? If people are here, they are fans of the device.
As for me, it's awesome. I got my teenage son one too, he is ecstatic.
I couldn't decide and finally just said **** it since Verizon extended the return period. So far I'm very happy. Came from a Galaxy Nexus...

im in the same boat , bought off contract to keep unlimited data. In coming from a gnexus I will say that I love love love the hardware but I hate the software. I've become such a CM fanboy that i think im just jaded to sloppy looking touchwiz and carrier bloat. ill be in heaven once some official cm nightlies start rolling out. for now the jelly beans rom and nova have hidden a lot of the touchwiz bs but theres still a lot to remove to be back to normal. I have to also add that im very impressed with the battery life of this thing.
I paid the full price for and I hate paying full price for anything and it was worth it. You part of the club yet?
