[HTC Rezound] Quada:
There are Sense 3.6 roms/ Sense 4.0 roms, a MIUI rom, and ROMs that attempt to de-sense as best they can and use Apex for an AOSP feel.

While it is true that we don't have many devs left, HTC should release the ICS kernel source and rumor has it that AOSP/AOKP/CM9 could get RIL working with the kernel source. I shouldn't get your hopes up too much for that happening though because the one person who said he would do that got mad and left. Whether he decides to release it is up to him.
[HTC Rezound] SightSeeker:
I preordered it. I got my rezoned on my sisters line because she didn't order a phone for 2 years (serious). My line has been free since March. I'll keep which ever one I like more but if the GS3 battery is way better that will be enough.
[HTC Rezound] RED ZMAN:
I may. So much infighting, off topic, and red hot developer on developer action here, with few updates on the few remaining roms.

Then there's all the developers being pushed away by the negativity too.

I'm not saying it won't be any different on the other phones, but it should have a really big following.

I was hoping for CM9 months ago, to finally get all of my devices on one ROM, but that looks like it won't happen anytime soon.

I can afford it these days.

Love my Rezound though.
[HTC Rezound] dc82:
Yea not to mention our cdma phones' gsm international counterparts always sell for higher since there is a greater, international demand for them and they are not locked to the united states only for the most part. Anyone thinking they'll get more than $500 for this phone is dreaming. I don't care if its mint or unopened, I'd still rather get it from my initial order than second hand if I'm going to spend that money.

The S3 is massively inferior to the S4. How much it matters though, I dunno. The Rezound unfortunately is old news, and devving is petering out.

I ordered a GS3. Wanna use my upgrade before the 28th.
[HTC Rezound] drbveb88:
Already pre ordered. The rezound has been great but the S3 is so powerful... I can't wait to see what the developers can do!!
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
Forgot to add I'm buying it at subsidized price so I'll make around 500$ profit.;) Also I was gonna get the 32GB one so I rounded up. So if you wanna get technical $649.99--semantics my friend. Hopefully the phone gets sold out and brings up the price of the phone, too. Bet you anything that'll happen.
[HTC Rezound] luke1333:
I may preorder as well haven't decided yet but probably just to use last upgrade before unlimited data ends and trade sgiii for something else down road

I might pre-order one, then sell it.

Got my Verizon shipment notification last night. It's on the way the road for delivery as I post. Finally the wait is over. I've been wanting a galaxy s phone since the sII but I haven't wanted to switch from Verizon. ;)
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
No phone yet, but I just got my case, and man, my Rezound looks like a frickin' brick compared to what the GS3 is going to be. The Rezound is like twice as thick as the CASE!
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
Ha! I did the same thing last night with the first of two cases a bumper and two battery doors that I received yesterday. I said the exact same thing. My pre order is still showing the 11th. I hope there are still some left by the time it gets to me.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Heh, yeah--the case is actually slightly thinner than a naked iPhone!
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Will do bud. My card was charged earlier today so hopefully it ships today for delivery on Monday or Tuesday.

What screen protection you guys gonna run on your new SIII's? I got the Rearth Ringbo protectors and Ringke Slim case.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
I hate cases and screen protectors even more but I have a feeling I'm going to have to commit to both. I have yet to read a review that was better than 50/50 on likes and dislikes so any advice will be accepted.

[HTC Rezound] tonictonic:
This feels like the early Rezound days all over again. I guess I'm going back to my Rezound for now lol.

Edit: Damn, just tried all of my movies and TV shows on the GS3, only about 1/3 of them play ok, whereas they all played fine on my Rezound. This is true with players like BSPlayer, Dice, and MX. I thought the Galaxy line had strong codec support? Not to mention it's also a snapdragon chipset. Hmm...

Edit2: Actually the stock player plays it all just fine, now I need to figure out why the screen brightness seems to go all the way to the dimmest setting no matter what I play. As I exit and load the videos they are at the normal brightness but when I actually start them they go dark man this is annoying.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
lolol..glad i didn't wait for the S3 and got the nexus.

so many people said, "get a nexus because a.) it'll get the updates first and b.) easily rootable etc."

they were right. we knew the S3 was gonna probably be a pain like the rezound, but people still went from the rezound to teh S3 anyway..
[HTC Rezound] tonictonic:
Well, that's great for you, but not everyone lives 2 ft away from a tower. I get at most 2 bars of signal with the rezound, the GN i've tried and it just won't hold a 4g signal worth a damn. Even when my friends bring theirs over it's the same thing.

And considering that the fascinate, charge, and nexus all came with unlocked bootloaders why would we expect any different from the S3? Hell, at worst I could even sell the S3 and buy a brand new verizon GN from ebay and still have $100+ left over. It's a no-brainer really.

Edit: Forgot Verizon still makes a mess of the GN with updates being nearly half a year behind the GSM versions.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Well, there was no reason to expect a protected bootloader. Verizon's GS3 is literally the only one in the world that is protected.
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
It's Big Red. **** I didn't even want a S3 and expected it.
[HTC Rezound] bluetooth_decay:
It'll probably get figured out. I wouldn't think that that part of the phone is too much different than the GSM versions.

I wonder what Verizon's hangup is here, other than corporate authoritarianism? With their new plans tethering is not a separate charge anymore from what I understand, so rooting or reflashing doesn't mean "opportunity costs" for VZW. Does the phone have some new form of Carrier ID they don't want anyone knowing about or removing?

Oh well...guess I'll wait until the new Nexus phones come out to purchase a backup for the Rez (or perhaps relegate it to a backup role).
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
that's exactly the point. i'm surprised the nexus didn't have a locked bootloader.

you guys are expecting way too much from verizon lol seriously. of course their iteration of a worldwide phone is going to be locked down, did you really expect any other?

as for the whole, updates and OTA for the nexus....who cares? 99.9% of nexus owners root them and the developers get roms out. we don't have a true jellybean OTA, yet i'm running it and it's pretty much perfect.

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

and i won't deny the 4g radio in the nexus sucks. places i get 4g with my rezound won't get them with the nexus.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I talked my girlfriend into getting one since she hated her iPhone 4 and she absolutely loves it, she's actually customizing everything on it right now. The thing is blazing fast and blows our Rezound out of the water! It's also a huge phone, but it's surprisingly thing and lighter than our phone. If I had the money and knew that the bootloader was easily unlockable on Verizon (which doesn't seem to be the case so far) I would definitely replace my Rezound with it in a heartbeat.
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
How's It blowing the rezound away? And what rom is your rezound on?

[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
It just feels a lot faster in general. I'm currently running SlimROM v1.6.3, I didn't get a chance to run any benchmarks yet though (not that they're extremely accurate but it does give you something to go by).

It also has two more CPU cores than our phone and 2GB RAM IIRC.

Not in the US it doesn't.

Just got the confirmation That mine was shipped out today. Looking forward to spending the next week playing with it. It'll probably take that long just to adapt to TWizz. This is going to be my first non sense phone since the first day the DInc came out. I hope I like it.

That may very well be it lol
[HTC Rezound] Morpheus991:
They had a whole section of a local outdoor mall (the grove in Los Angeles) set aside just for the gs3 today. It was pretty impressive. They had about 10 of them set up showing off different features: a section with the new NFC stickers, a photo section showing off the rapid shoot mode and a NFC raffle thing (I won gs3 sunscreen and a weird gs3 water bottle, no joke). It felt great in my hands and was pretty smooth. I'm not sure if I like the screen quality as much and I'm pretty used to having Sense but it's definitely a nice phone.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
Man this phone is fast! The screen's vivid colors do take some getting used to but it's still big and beautiful.

There's definitely pros and cons and after the switch I'm okay with new cons. :D.......for now of course. I needed a break from HTC as well after what feels like abandonment of the Rezound.

I have to say, looking at the FCC docs, it looks pretty clear that the Rez has better antenna design. the Rez's ants circle the phone, where the S3 has almost all the ants buried in the bottom (short of the wifi and an extra RX ant in the top).
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Very surprising. I haven't had any signal issues with mine at all and can even get 4G in the attic at my job. I wished I would've tested the signal with my Rezound and GSIII here at work but I was too damn excited haha.
[HTC Rezound] Ndaoud360:
How are u guys using ur upgrade unless u bought Rezound off contract and saved ur upgrade.

Me Im staying with Rezound, well

1. I dont have an upgrade.

2. No way am I using touchwiz.

3. When I have upgrade (2 years) it will be after Verizon unleashes their bs prices, which I may be switching to a carrier with unlimited and get the latest innovation from HTC which it'll probably own the gsIII in every aspect possible but who knows.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
I already pre-ordered mine on my Rezound line, I used another of my upgrades to get my Rezound so my actual line is eligible right now. My Rezound is going to my brother on the line that has the X2.

BTW guys, I am sad to say, the One X is WAY superior to the Rezound. I have a line on AT&T with the VA and I got a One X on it.

*can the samsung galaxy s3 do voice and data on 3G cdma?

*how is radio and gps signal, because in the past I had bad experience?

*how good are the roms for SG S3?

*does samsung phone have htc unlock process or something similar?
[HTC Rezound] antispiral:
It isnt released yet, how would people know?
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Have you seen or used the Camera? The images and white balance are far clearer, the S4 handles all processes in the phone so much smoother, as well as better battery management. Right now, with the same use, both on LTE my HOX is at 64% and the Rezound is at 27%. I was even using my HOX to stream music via bluetooth in my truck for over an hour unplugged! You can take 20 pics just by holding the button down for a few seconds, then pic the best image from the set! It also has the f2.4 aperture rather than the f2.2 and handles low light pic/video better than our Rezound. You can also snap pics while taking video. My HOX unrooted posted better scores in all benchs than the Rezound did rooted running CleanROM DE. Sense 4 is so much smoother, not to mention the 4.8" screen! Want me to keep going?
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah i'd love to ditch verizon today and goto ATT and get a one x; actually, if sprint weren't such garbage, i'd go there and get the new evo
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:

[HTC Rezound] luke1333:
well got the SG III preordered. a white 32 gb is coming my way!!
[HTC Rezound] jailbird2:
The SG III looks damn nice, except one major problem.. it has Samsung radios!
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
First question, probably as it has the S4 with radios on board. It is a world phone, so should have the ability to use them separately as well.

2nd, no one knows.

3rd, no one knows except international users who have the Quad Core version so it is irrelevant.

4th, if Samsung sticks to their previous it should be FAR simpler process.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Nobody knows about the radio/GPS etc as it's not out yet, but reviews have been glowing.

Sansung unlock on all previous phones has been MUCH easier than HTC.

These are advantages of the Slll over the oneX:

Bigger screen - 4.8" over 4.7"

Higher display contrast and better sunlight legibility

More storage options - 16/32/64GB + microSD over non-expandable 32GB

S Voice natural language commands and dictation

S Beam for easy and fast file transfers

User-accessible 2100mAh battery over non-removable 1800mAh battery

1.9MP front-facing camera with Smart Stay

Videos shot with 30fps framerate over 24fps

I'll be the first to admit I am skeptical about how good the Slll is going to be. My Wife has a Droid Charge (used to be mine) so I know all about samsung quality (or lack there-of). I only ordered the Slll to burn up an upgrade before VZs new policy goes into effect.

I don't even really want the thing and will probably sell it. I am 100% happy with the Rezound. I like the idea of a bigger screen, but I HATE pentile screens so I will have to play with it for a while to see if I can stand it.
[HTC Rezound] k_flan:
A smaller aperture number is actually letting in more light. More light should be hitting the sensor with the the rezound. And yes, I know there are other factors, just seemed like you were saying f2.4 is making it better at low light. By the numbers, that isn't what would do it.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
I don't know that much about the difference between 2.2 and 2.4, which is why I said it does work better, not is why it works better, lol. I simply was stating what was in what.

yeah the specs looks impressive, but its nothing if you can't get a signal/gps. I'm in the same boat as you I have 1 upgrade that I need to burn before the new family plans are introduce.
[HTC Rezound] luke1333:
i agree. i like all the specs but the gps/radio is an issue for me. i had the nexus for a couple days and it was awful. dropped 4g all the time and i live in 4g and rezound doesnt ever and i mean ever drop 4g. so that is a concern for me. dual core though faster than rezounds processor and 2 gb yes 2 gb of ram!! holy crap this thing will fly!!!
[HTC Rezound] drbveb88:
My rezound fluctuates between 80-95dbm from my house. My samsung Charge fluctuates from 78-95 from the same spot. My rezound gps kicks the crap out of my charge. This is the only thing that worries me about the GS3. I have been seeing in some of the reviews and forums that the gps is outrageous and signal strength is very good as well. These are international markets and phones, who knows how the LTE version will play out. Keeping my fingers crossed!!
[HTC Rezound] drmanhattan:
I didn't use my upgrade for the rezound I was given a factory refurb after multiple issues with my thunderbolt
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Holy giant screen!

Just pre-ordered a PB 16GB GSIII. I'm going to keep my Rezound just in case and depending if I actually like it or not.

The funny thing I noticed is there is already a booting Sense 4.0 rom (likely for the Exynos Quad tho). I thought that was interesting.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Yeah, the development is gonna be sick. It seems like every major international dev has released something or is in the process of making something.

Awesome man I got a marble white 32 gb and keeping rezound as well for a bit and see.

And you have a link to the sense 4.0 rom? And I'm sure it will be ported to vzw version. The dual core with more ram might be faster than the other version

[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Very true as you know much more than I do. The thing keeping me hopeful is the fact that all US SIII's will use the same chipset and have LTE means that someone will crack RIL.

I guess we'll have to wait and see though.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Yeah, from what I have heard, all US-based ROMs should be interchangeable with build.prop edits, which would just be absurdly awesome. Let's hope that's true.
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
Doesn't seem worth it to upgrade to me, considering they are nerfing the hardware for the US version. Maybe if they didn't have the LTE issue it would be worth doing, at least in my eyes. Though I'd rather get an unnerfed One X.
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
I wouldn't consider the S4+2GB RAM to be nerfing the GSIII at all. I prefer Snapdragon over Exynos or Tegra anyhow. If you want to see nerfing, look at the One S situation in Asia Pacific; getting our Rezzy's S3 core with no price reduction.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
How exactly is it nerfed? I assume you mean the S4? It's a pretty beastly chip that smokes the Tegra 3 and more than keeps up with the Exnyos. Android isn't even optimized for quad core.

I think there's a pretty solid argument to be made that S4+2GB RAM+LTE>Exnyos+1GB RAM+HPSA. The RAM is probably more useful at this point than more brute processing power.
[HTC Rezound] renzo.olivares:
maybe but we all use different ril code....evo 4g lte was able to get aosp ril working with build.prop edits were ours requires tons of framework edits...and att ONE XL still doesnt have an aosp rom..and we dont have an aosp rom lol
