I hope the rumor of 5 Nexus Devices from different OEM is true & I hope the new iPhone is real good not that I want iPhone but if they come out with a sick phone & different android OEM trying to out do the next guy this years Google Nexus phone are going to be Great!!! Just in time for Christmas & kicking off the new year I see either a Dual core A-15 CPU from TI-Omap which smokes tegra quad core, or Exynos 5250 with mali t 604 gpu ! Or they could even go bigger with Quad core A-15 CPU!!! That would be insane also what if out of those 5 Nexus Samsung come out with a Nexus Note 5.3in!!

Do want: SGS3

Don't want: Samsung's ****ty ass radios.

Hopefully they get it right this time around.
[Epic 4G General] Speedin07si:
For anyone getting or plan on getting the S3 and love the durability of Otterbox. Seems they are working on the legendary Defender Series for the S3 also the commuter series.

I know the defender series is what I'll be purchasing when I get my S3 in August.

[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
The radios look promising so far from what I read. The tws bug is there lol but that's it and airplane toggle fixes it. They say GPS is instant. There are a lot of people getting over 2 days on a charge with stock battery. It's already got an update. Sammy is trying to make us happy this time. :D

I kinda don't want 5 nexus phones at once because all the ppl that would but the nexus because its a nexus would be spread out

So leas devs on each nexus
[Epic 4G General] dbpaddler:
Well that's selfish :) would think multiple mfg's and hopefully multiple form factors would appeal to a larger audience and thus sell more android phones in the grand scheme. Also, that would be more stock android phones out there without customizations that will bring about quicker updates. People start buying more Nexus phones and less mfg/carrier customized phones and the mfg's will probably start to follow suit. If sales of the latter drop they'd be less likely to invest the time and money to heavily skin or just the opposite and improve their time to update to keep up with the nexus phones.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
No it would be just like the Galaxy Nexus now with seperate DEV sections for International, Sprint and Verizon. Most of the devs port their ROM to each one. So actually you end up with more devs and more ROMs. Providing the hardware drivers of the "5" aren't so vastly different to make this too tough.

Anyone heard of any father's day deals from sprint or any of its dealers like best buy? Been upgrade eligible since march. Just heard an add for a t-mo two day father's day sale that every 4g phone they offer is free with a new two year contract. Even tablets I believe. Would be nice if sprint did the same, but include the gs3! Wishful thinking...
[Epic 4G General] lepapirriky:
How many of you have to wait until July 1st for the upgrade?

[Epic 4G General] wazzuup199:
Does anyone know since the 32gb S3 sold out for pre orders online, will there not be any more 32gb models for a while or does sprint have more of them stocked away for release day? In other words since I want a 32gb one but didn't pre order, am I going to have to wait past the June 21st release date to get one?
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
The confirmation email says they will do everything they can to get it to you before everyone else on release day. So no hard date, but possible it comes a day or two early which I've heard is the case with preorders in the past.
[Epic 4G General] :
I can't even get the phone now if I wanted to. My mother is recovering from foot surgery, so no income for me to buy the phone :(
[Epic 4G General] Pacorocko:
Are there any websites that have deals/specials on the GSIII? I know for the GSII we had a threads going where people posted deals they had found, but can't seem to find anything and we're only a week away now...

I've looked at the different sites online, (wirefly, amazon, BB, Radio Shack) but none of them seem to even have the ability to preorder this phone...
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Sorry to hear that M.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
You have to go into a Best Buy. They are not accepting phone preorders or online.
[Epic 4G General] worldwidepmp:
I did a walk in pre order @ BB, but I swear I saw it online after the fact.
[Epic 4G General] Pacorocko:
What's the deal at BB? I see that Sprint is waiving the activation fee on their preorder site. Is BB any better?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Same thing and if you had registered your phone number with them previously they give you a $50 gift card.
[Epic 4G General] lepapirriky:
Extra 50? Like 50 for pre-order and another 50 for been registered?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
What $50 for preorder? They gave you $50 for preordering?
[Epic 4G General] sonarchist:
I think it's like a down payment ($50 giftcard) w/ your pre-order..........when you pick up the device, they subtract the $50 from your balance but you get to keep the card to spend as you wish; at least that's the way my local BB folks explained it to me.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Only $50 lol
[Epic 4G General] :
And plus 60$ for trading in a "Good" Epic
[Epic 4G General] djjroc007:

Omg I just watched a gs3 review awww man that thing is sooo awesome.
[Epic 4G General] dmeeks72:
Get the phone sooner.

Contact Sprint and see if they will waive that July 1st date. They waived mine 14 days so I could get my wife a new phone for Valentines Day. They charged me a fee, but waived the activation fee so it pretty much cancelled out.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
For those, like me, that really need a physical keyboard you might want to take a look at this an option:

I just ordered one to try out. Will give my review when it comes.
[Epic 4G General] smark72:
Let us know if you can navigate through home screens and click on apps. I could possibly use this while my phone is connected to my HDTV through mhl connecter. I have a feeling though that you will have to tap on the text field manually of where you want to type first.
[Epic 4G General] dbpaddler:
Off the bat, you don't have cursor/nav buttons. Those would let you flip through homescreens. And the problem with using it with a phone is how are you holding the phone? Propped up on a table? These are generally nice for quick tablet use when they have a folio case or kickstand, or if a phone has a kickstand. Otherwise, something like those iphone keyboard slider cases would be more ideal. Key with keyboards though are nav keys. Easy text selection and editing are half the reason behind wanting a real keyboard. For $10 though, it's worth playing around with.
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
Actually ive been calling them and all dem reps say no

Ill try again if somebody writes me a script this time
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Some of them have nav keys just depends on which one you buy
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
By looking at it I would say it will act more like our slider and it will require touchscren interaction but handy for people who email a lot from their phone or who post a lot on forums.
[Epic 4G General] Ragnar:
Just go into a store, ask the wrep who helps you, if he says no very politely ask to see a manager. Ask the manager if he says no then again very politely ask the manager for his name and then ask for the wreps name. Then ask for the store agency number. Now at all the stores they have phones that go directly to sprint corporate service, if not use your cell phone and call sprint corporate service and say very nicely in am here at store # yada yada with your representative yada yada and the manager yada yada and I'm trying to spend my money and I have had an account with you for yada yada amount of years...... But do it in a polite nice hypocritical tone. I guarantee you the manager will say ok....

[Epic 4G General] austin420:
they are not going to do it. there was a huge kerfuffle last month that they were stopping this policy. all reps are now instructed to advise you that they are already allowing you to upgrade on the first of the month rather than on the day that you are actually due.

i.e i purchased a phone on april 19th 2010. i should be eligible after 20 months, feb19th 2012. they already let you upgrade on feb 1st rather than the 20th. id say that is plenty of courtesy.

Kenny, just fyi, I have one of those. Its terrible.

Impossible to type on.

Ughh, I hate that keyboard..that and LG's are terribly laid out imo
[Epic 4G General] dbpaddler:
No, really? i was referring to the one he was referring to. Regardless, handheld keyboards don't really help much on the phone side unless your phone is on a stand of sorts or mounted to the keyboard ala the iphone slider keyboards. Now a handheld with a slide up base piece of plastic and an indent to hold the phone would be nice and well thought out. Unfortunately most of these are coming off of asian assembly lines with no real thought, hence they're cheap and can be had from most of the asian wholesale sites on the cheap. I'm still looking for a good backlit handheld for google tv. The logitech one doesn't even have IR. The included Sony isn't backlit. Annoying as hell to have these devices and have keyboards developed by a 2yr old.
[Epic 4G General] djjroc007:
Pebble blue GSIII pre ordered today at Best Buy! Got my $50 gift card for upgrading and they said they would give me $36 if I traded in my epic. Was hoping to get the $60 for good condition, but they gave it fair condition because having the case on it, dirt gets under the edges of the top piece and over time has scuffed the phone a bit. Not sure if I'll go through with that or not. Haven't checked in a while, what are these going for, or what would be a fair price to sell it instead of trading it in?

I just hope it doesn't get delayed by apple's shenanigans. Leaving for a nine day vacation next Saturday and would be nice to get it before hand.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
Sprint gives you I think 45 to 60 in good condition

[Epic 4G General] Speedin07si:
Eh I'll pass. The keyboard buttons are to weird. Some are big and some are small. To spaced apart as well.Plus it doesn't look any bigger then the epic. But looks can be deceiving I guess.

Looks like my wife's evo shift keyboard with a number row.

[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Prolly was just a lil factoid
[Epic 4G General] Ceelos09:
Correct me if I'm wrong but...doesn't ext4 have a higher data corruption rate as opposed to an BML/RFS FS? Or even our current yaffs2 FS?

Ext4 made my Epic act up from time to time :\

I've been using MTD/yaffs2 since our Team Epic released it back in November/December. I've never had a data corruption since!
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
im sure theres more to it they wouldnt just change it to EXT4 knowing that it could corrupt more.

Not entirely true since the same battery that comes in the Epic Touch, 1800mAh fits in this phone. It is possible. The battery for the Note is just as thin only larger so a slider is not really limited by battery if they make it another inch by half the battery can be that much larger.
