[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ilostmypistons:
I hope this is legit

documents received by Sammy TODAY concerning the patent on the Sprint Galaxy SIII version dubbed SPH-L710, which we've known for weeks already clearly contain the specs and design, and Exynos #5250-L is listed as the processor, btw that's the exynos DUAL(EDITED @ 3:33) +LTE.

Please note also Sprint changes their mind like Kim Kardashian changes boyfriends. Even so, yes, there are benchmarks of this device, and even with that processor, it once again left the EVO in the dust so to speak. The beauty of Samsung technology is that it's so well written, that while the EVO HAS to have quad to run at GS3's level yet doesn't, the gs3 is just as capable on dual as the quad. My guess is that the 16GB version will run dual but the 32 GB will run quad. Btw the price difference in the 2 is gonna be about $150 making the 32GB cost from $349-$375 with renewal with new contract. The dual core benchmark score of SPH-L710 was based off a dual core device and the overall score at only 1.3 of its possible 1.7GhZ was 9175

Lmfao, it's funny u say that cuz I do the same thing!!! I NEVER pre order. Plus my sprint store always has devices. When I went in Sunday to get the Evo he opened the cabinet to get mine and there had to be like 40 Evos in there. I remember the OG Evo I got out of work at 5am and went straight to my sprint store and was first in line at 6am while people in forums in NY and other places had 50 people and when they opened at 8 therefore maybe 20 so I don't ever worry about getting any new device,lol.

If my city wasn't one of the first to receive LTE, I probably would have waited.

Does the sprint version have the exact same dimensions as the international one? I was thinking of going ahead and ordering some gt-i9300 screen protectors and a case so they would be here when the phone arrived.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] archtech3d:
OMG! That would be so cool if it were true. Somehow I highly doubt it considering the actual launch is on the 21st. That would mean they are already stocked and ready to go. Who knows though... geez that would be awesome to get the GS3 this week! The order status did say "We will do our best to get it to you before others get a glimpse on Thursday, June 21." Here's to wishful thinking!!!! :D :D

Edit: Just called and they "can not verify until a tracking number is assigned," and have no idea when it will ship. All she said is to watch for a tracking number and they will try to get the pre-orders out before the 21st. But again... you never know. haha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ackattacker:
No Wimax...

Guys this is a major downgrade from the E4GT in one important way... no wimax 4g. LTE hasn't launched yet, and will be a slow rollout so it won't get to my city for maybe a year. Wimax already works great in most major cities.

So sure the screen is a touch nicer and it has NFC (useless IMHO). But it's a 3G only phone for all intents and purposes. And Sprint 3G sucks!!

No thank you, I'll keep my Epic 4G Touch with 4G.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
Lol. This guy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayharper08:
My city is getting LTE in August. That's what they say anyway. One of the main reasons I got the Nexus. Still planning on keeping this thing until the S3 drops then getting it. LTE was one of the MAIN reasons I got it. Definitely not a "downgrade" for me. Although I see what you're saying if your town won't get LTE soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
720p screen, better camera, faster processor, 2gb of ram, LTE in favor of Sprint dropping WiMax. Yup, definite downgrade.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dutchman71:
My area was supposed to get Wimax 2 summers ago... Still rocking 3g here..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] archtech3d:
Yep - Savannah, GA and I've never used 4G for the past 3 phones in this area. I got it for a brief moment in Atlanta one day. Fastest data-connected 10 minutes of internet browsing on the E4GT. LOL Screw Wimax, I'll chill on wifi/3g until this area gets LTE in 2018 (not an official estimate). :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ackattacker:
LOL all you want, this thread is full of people talking about pebble blue vs. white and ignoring the specs.

Do you guys use your phones or just look at them?

The camera is basically identical to the E4GT

The screen is .3" bigger and has a higher resolution, but it's pentile so it's not a dramatic difference in daily use from the E4Gt

It has more RAM, but currently I haven't found an application that runs my E4GT out of memory. Maybe they're coming, but not yet. I have a 64GB microsd card so the 32 GB GSIII is just a small difference.

Same thing with the processor... a bit zippier, maybe, but so far I haven't seen any apps not run smoothly on the GSII.

It comes with a few new apps most of which have already been ported to custom ROMs on the E4GT.

The only reason I see to switch to the GSIII is if you actually have LTE in your area. Which you don't, none of you. So what's the rush? You are intentionally crippling your actual experience of USING your phone for stuff. Right now, sitting at home, I get 9.8 Mbps download on 4g and 0.196 Mbps download on 3G. They'd have to PAY me to switch back to a 3G only phone.

Stop spreading false information, yes LTE is not fully deployed. But wimax is not working in most major cities, it was not fully deployed and is a complete mess.

Now back on topic.

I am so temped to grab a blue one but my GS2 is still working great, I love it.

Going to just wait a while and maybe grab a used on on ebay.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iamtheug:
I love the specs in the gs3, but I'm a little worried about the thinner gorilla glass. The phone drop test guys did the test on the s2 vs the iPhone 4s, and they had a rough time trying to break the screen. Face down, on edge, i think only the from the second floor test managed to break it significantly. They just did a video on the gs3, and it was gruesome. From the ear shattered it waist height (off the trunk) faired the best. And the kids throwing it up in the air made me want to cry. I'm hoping they go back to normal thickness with the gs4. Lucky my e4gt is quick enough to hold me over till upgrade time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Aghh I think I might go with the off contract price unless my airwave has an upgrade I could use. John do you know when LA and great LA is suppose to have LTE ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yahknow1:
I plan on waiting til they hit the store, then grab one for full price, I'm not due for an upgrade yet. Don't know if I'll sell my E4GT outright or just turn it into Sprint's buyback program? Last time I looked it was worth $105, any thoughts on that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
I was able to pre order online for full price. Think I had to go into my account first and find the upgrade button and it let me get the gs3 for 0 month contract. So if you want it, there is a way
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yahknow1:
I'll look, thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
$105? No way. Sell it on craigslist. I haven't looked but I would imagine you would be able to get at least $250. Find an old phone to use for a little if you happen to sell it before the gs3 is in stores.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moodswang:
I'm a bit torn at the moment. I want this phone with sprint unlimited data but San Diego doesn't really have Wimax or it has pockets of Wimax but none that I have found which is retarded if you ask me. The LTE rollout hasn't even seem to got off the ground. For some reason I was thinking atleast LA would be blanketed and almost complete by June and it doesn't even look like Houston has even made lift off. Every other month I see Verizon blanketing 5 or 6 new locations with LTE and sprint is still at 0. After the Wimax fail I'm really leaning towards getting the T-mobile SG3 and check back with sprint in like 2016.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tommydaniel:
It's not like the One X's matte finish so I don't think you will have to worry too much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah its kind of sad that the buy back value is only $105 for the Epic Touch and you still get $70 for the NS4G. Well either way, the manager will be holding one for me on launch day so I am keeping my GNex and doing buy back on my NS4G to take a little of the sting out of the price. Of course now I have to put CM9 on 2 employees phones but its worth it since I will be guaranteed one on launch day

I am in the same boat as you are my friend. I put my boy on to Simple Mobile which is a variant of T-Mobile and he gets on average 10-14mbps download speeds.
