kjoker, you're joking right?

Better CPU, more RAM, better camera, HD screen, 4.8" screen, more battery life... the list goes on and on. Oh, how's ICS working out for you? I have ICS on my E4GT and it sucks at the moment.

As far as overclocking, what makes you think we won't be able to overclock the GS3? Probably to 2.0GHz or so too. Besides, even at 1.7GHz, the E4GT won't come close to the speed of a stock GS3.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peanut1596:
Not to mention, 4g lte is different then wimax...

Just sayin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akarol:
Well, I bit the bullet and pre-ordered a blue 32GB GS3. I don't know if I made the right choice though. Sprint's 3G speeds are just abysmal. I am thinking of jumping ship to T-Mobile and just stick with an unlocked Galaxy Nexus on their $70 unlimited monthly plan. What do you guys think?!

^Screen -4.52- ^4.8^ It beats it, but minimally

^CPU -1.2ghz dual- ^1.5ghz dual ^ Same, our CPU can overclock

Wheres the rest of your list? And yes, ICS is working great.

Other than your specualtion of you what you *might* be able to do, there are no facts.

Still no reason to upgrade. Next time, choose your words for appropriately before your napolean syndrome kicks in...

It's as if you assume the s4 can't overclock...which starting at a baseline of 1.5...will probably go higher than your 1.7...hmmmmm

I'll need upgrading my airvana line.

I'm really excited for the features this phone has.

Will we be seeing sub forums for the S3 soon?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yahknow1:
Well, I just grabbed a 16Gb Blue S3! The Sales rep said it was one of two left..I call BS, lol but anyway. I was really disappointed with the $70 tacked on FEES now talk about gouge a guy huh? $549.99 + every little fee you can dream of? for a grand spank me total of $663.30!! jeez I hope to shout I'll be trying to sell my E4GT on CL for some relief funds after that..lol

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yahknow1:
Maybe this has been covered already and I missed it but: Why would Samsung come out with two versions of the phone AND a micro SD slot? ...Seems almost pointless?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaron130:
Ya, I asked the same thing!! Cuz u can just buy a 64gb sd card or a 32gb for that matter! And I think that's PLENTY! That's why I'll probably just get the 16gb
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] taylortr:
Man that forum is a mess! It looks like we will have separate recovery and kernel partitions though, so that'll be good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaron130:
Don't u guys just love when you see some jerk on Craigslist charging $30 and $40 to root your android phone! $30 to root $40 with a custom rom. I just seen this on CL.

yea I read a couple posts like that, then I was afraid to comment cause I wasn't sure I was even in the right forum? How does Samsung Galaxy 3 forum differ from our device or is it just the generic name till we get a specific one for our device..sorry for the stupid question?

So the Sprint Galaxy S III will be getting its own sub forum then? I sure hope so because the Int'l one is a mess like others have said. Still, I'm torn right now if I should stick with the E4GT or buy out my contract for $45 bucks and get the GSIII.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
no, it's been said numerous times that the quadcore chip was not compatible with lte.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VikingoRMCF:
Thank you, by any chance do you know if the Euro release is, or do they also use LTE?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Admiral2145:
Its just as powerful as the tegra 3 quad core.... Search google for the article...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] humdrum2009:
My main reason to get the gs3 is to be grandfathered in once lte goes nationwide. I really don't see ayce data lasting after that. Luckily I traded a busted laptop I repaired. For an iPhone 4 . which I can sell for $300.00 then buy the gs3.

Paid $35.00 for the laptop lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ind3lible:
OK so with the HD screen does the resolution transfer to games also? Or only if the game is meant to be running at that resolution? Like nova 3 looks amazing on the epic 4g touch so just wondering if the HD screen would make any difference?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayharper08:
From what I've been reading I would say yes. Seems they're already starting the Network Vision here. I wouldn't put money on it though, I'm just seeing stuff from the interwebz :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
I got the Original Epic 2 months before WiMax was activated. The wait was excruciating. Not sure I can do that again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayharper08:
I already miss my 4g now. I used it constantly here on the boat at work, just waiting for this LTE to drop. :/

Think I've decided to keep this Nexus and come up with the money to get the GS3 at full retail. I guess I'm greedy and want both. Is that bad? :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] martyzidek:
so i can officially say when you preorder your sgs3 from sprint it will be shipped to you in 2-5 days. this is what 2 people from sprint have told me. one on the phone and the other on the chat. i ordered the blue one and got a email saying the blue. i checked the status and it said it was white. sprint said they been having people call and saying the same thing. so i had to cancel the order and reorder it again. now it says blue on the status page. chat and on phone for this mixup this is what they said. 2-5 days.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Absolutely not. Yes the S3 and GNex are both Samsung but if you like flashing your phone, there is nothing like having a Nexus series. Plus, the NS4G held value well ($70 on Sprint buy back) vs the ET4G ($105) so if you keep your GNex and buy the S3 you could sell the GNex down the road when the new Nexus comes out. ;):D

Has anyone else heard or been told about them sending the phone out early?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
LTE question...

How far out of the surrounding city will the LTE signal penetrate? I live 40 miles outside of Orlando and wondering if I will see any benefit. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ricocollege:
It all depends, cities less distance than 40 miles from the first wave cities are included in the so called " 2nd wave".

So I would say must likely, no.

They claim the outer city area's are in the last wave. ( or until they run out of money again )
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yahknow1:
When I ordered mine the sales rep told me I'd recieve it, "On or before June 11 for sure". I asked if they already had the phones to ship out and she said "yes they did"?:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ricocollege:
That would be really cool, but how realistic is that we will see ours devices 10 days early?

Sales people will say almost anything...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] .Bambino:
Anything about when I can purchase my phone from T-Mobile?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yahknow1:
She already made the sale and had no reason to lie to me. I have no reason to doubt that I'll get the phone early...but so what? so I have the phone a few days before the 21, its not like it's THAT big of a deal?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
This being a Sprint device forum, we'll get right on that for you. You know they have this amazing website now called Google...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:
ill be ordering mine tomorrow on an upgrade on my other line ..... so they ship unactivated correct? when I get it in the mail I can activate it on whatever line I like? or do I need to reprogram it? im sure on sprints side its setup for whatever line i used the upgrade is it gonna be a hassle to esn swap it to my primary line? I know buying them in store they dont care when you tell em hey Ive got an upgrade on this line that i want to use but I wanna move it to my primary line ..... :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
I have done plenty of upgrading and then swapping to other lines. When you get the phone from upgrading a line I believe it comes not activated. When you get it, just call sprint before you activate it and tell then what you want to do. Should not be a problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
Phones only come activated when you're a new customer or when you add a line
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:
but its probably programed ....:confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
You can interrupt the activation process but then you have to manually activate it on the line of your choosing. You can try doing it online but since it will have the ID tied to the line it was ordered on you'll probably have to use customer service to complete the process.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bojackr1:
In Store

Any word on if/when Sprint will be doing in-store pre-orders?? I know they did it for the ET4G. I've called a few Sprint Stores and they said that they haven't received any info as to whether they would be doing so.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] archtech3d:
If it ships out on the 11th, then it would arrive on the same day as the Sprint event on the 12th. That would be really cool - pre orders arriving to customers during the event...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaron130:
I have 5 lines also and I've got EVERY big device Sprint has released(yes I'm a junkie lol) and I ALWAYS use my other lines for upgrade and when it comes in I just activate it online with no problems at all so I don't think they'll program it.Ive decided I'm gonna keep my Evo LTE for a backup. Screw it,lol.

you can preorder at a sprint store.

im going to upgrade my airvana line :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
This sucks. I have two upgrades and i can't use either one. I called Sprint and they have no idea when it will be available to anyone on an employee sponsored account.

The best i can come up with is I use an upgrade to buy an Iphone and buy a S3 at full price and then sell the Iphone to recoupe the difference. My best guess it will still cost me 400 dollars.

Anyone have another idea? Am I stuck waiting for months?

ok, I'll say it one last time just for the heck of it, then I'm done...if the 11th comes and goes I'll come back and eat crow but I don't think so:

The sales rep assured me I'd have the phone ON OR BEFORE JUNE 11. THEY HAVE THE PHONE IN STOCK I'm like the second or third customer that's been told this, so it seems like it should be true?

Do you just jump in and post without even reading a few prior posts? ..I think that's a statement to CYA in case something unforseen happens?

I may be the butt of a cruel joke and Sprint could be just toying with me to get me to dole out my money early though?...never intending to ship me my phone until the 21st of June!!!! Somehow though, I think those of us who've been told that we're getting our phones on the said dates WILL probably get them?

I have pretty big hands and in the E4GT feels too unnatural.. And they just keep getting bigger.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtr145r:
apple really pisses me off.

theyre always trying to take out other carriers with law suites

grrr
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
For the size of my hand, I would have to say yes. Although I'm going to check out the SIII when it's in the store I'm pretty sure the E4GT is as big as I can comfortably handle.

I have an E4GT (5.1" x 2.7" x 0.38") and an EVO 4G (4.8" x 2.6" x 0.5") that I was able to do a physical comparison on. Our phone is .3 inches taller than the EVO 4G which doesn't sound like much, but when you look at them front to front, it is a pretty noticeable difference. The SIII (5.4” x 2.8” x .3”) is .3" taller than our phone so I can get a pretty good idea of how much bigger it will look, and over half an inch taller than the OG EVO is pretty tall. But again, until I've actually held the phone I won't make a final judgement which is why I'm holding off (barely) on pre-ordering the SIII.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayharper08:
I see what you did there O_o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peanut1596:
Find a friend who has sprint who you can transfer your upgrades to and let him buy the phone and then you pay him after he gives the phone to you.

so im ordering my handset in the AM ..... I was set on getting the 32g model ..... but im thinking with the shiny new 32gb card I just bought I really dont need it there's a few other places I could use $50 ..... someone talk me down am I crazy for thinking the 16gb will do just fine? :eek:

It's probably more than sufficient however I'd go with the extra $50 and grab the 32gb.

I am not going to lie. I grabbed a GNex and I am on day 6 of my 14 day window. I am so torn right now because the GNex is a great phone. There are several kernels with all of the customization you can ever imagine.. gamma color, overclock, undervolt, hotplug (turn off 1 core while screen off) and a lot of ROMs already but the S3 looks to be a monster. So who is planning on getting the S3?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayharper08:
I am seeing more and more pop up for the Sprint version of the Nexus (I mod there also, lol) If I can resist temptation, I'll be getting the GS3, but I love the thought of getting a pure Google phone.

Ahhhh. Decisions, decisions.

---Jay--- From the CM9 powered E4GT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I advise you to wait until the S3 comes out and use both at the store then make your decision because if you get the GNex you won't want to give it back. Hell, I even have 2 kernel apps (Franco and Trinity) where I get notified of new nightly and I don't even have to boot to recovery to flash them BUT I saw that 45 minute review video on the S3 and it has several features (scrolling toggles,etc) that you normally only see in custom ROMs and the camera looks great as well

Edit...in case you haven't noticed, I am in the same boat as you are
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
As a former owner of the VZW Gnex, I definitely loved all of the customization options & roms we had in multiple forums. It was a great phone but I decided to sell it on eBay while bids were still high for it. I'm definitely eager to see the SGS3...hopefully we can also get an option to turn off a core on it...or maybe 3 :D
