Unfortunately that's the case for me as well. We have a lot of cooks great ones at that, but not many devs. We need people who can do code work and smali once that is capable we devs in our forum. If the N4 has devs then I'm sold on it, and basic reviews.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] siloner:
Yes they're reversing the contract. I'm returning it tomorrow and gonna wait for the N4. If all else fails, ill wait for the s4 in may?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aNYthing24:
I really hope Google puts out a 32 GB model sooner than later. That's the only thing holding me back.

You're kidding me about the s4 right? The s3 Just came out!!!! >}
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cakeor314:
Wait till the S4

I honestly thought about it and I would much rather wait till the S4 comes out, am sure that its going to be much more impressive

Just so you know, there is a $50 dollar restocking fee if you decide to return the device.

Selling the GS3 to get this and some money back...TMO/SAM are Already! late with an Official 4.1 update....this thing will ship with 4.2...this will be my first NEXUS, I had the Vibrant, GS2(briefly) and GS3 for months now...vibrant was fun because of all the dev support it had...GS2 was ok, because it was an upgraded VIB that actually worked, GPS especially, but nowhere near worth the price of upgrading/replacing...

My GS3 is fast, stable and just plain works...but for $349 you cannot go wrong. JB built in, fast updates, quad core?!! Plus I'm willing to bet the battery will last a lot longer in this, since there's no bloat/3rd party UI, to eat it up...

They finally got it right with this spec wise...Last nexus was 1.2 dual core while there were already 1.5Gig phones out...5MP cam while there were already 8MP phones out and so on...this time they came out with top specs and low price....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] setzer715:
.8" difference? I think you mean .1" difference. S3 is 4.8" and N4 is 4.7".

My .02, LG = FAIL and No SD = Fail. I will wait for reviews and see if it is like all the other LG devices, a total nightmare!!! If not, then maybe it could be my daily driver and save SIII for travel (more memory for movies and music).

I do have the One S (currently using as I broke my S3 display and waiting for replacement to come) and I cant stand being limited to 10Gb of space. I put 20Gb of music alone on my 64Gb card for S3. IDK, I'm a tech geek and typically buy the latest and greatest and $350 for that seems so cheap. BUT NO SD!!!! It's exactly why I stayed away from the GNex.

Planing to jump to n4, however I was just Wondering how is T-Mobile services as far data speed
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itzkel:
Well where I'm at, (Houston, TX) I use to get at average 8mb around June. Now I have noticed that my data has gotten faster. I've been running a few speed tests at home, work, and around town. I have been getting a average of 11-13mb and the highest for me was 22mb.

LTE is already in the process for next year. I suspect when it drops, I won't get anything less than 30mb.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xObey:
I'm thinking about it too, pure Android and direct updates from Google which means no need for the wait for manufacturers cough cough Samsung to update devices plus stable stock AOSP JellyBean roms would be out instantaneously. The only problem I had with LG was the G2X and that was because the NVIDIA processors had lots of roms glitch but that won't be a problem with Snapdragon S4 Pro.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] flipq88:
Nope, the no ext sd is a big killer for me. I don't care if it has the quickest updates, I cant have a phone without ext sd. It be like having a android iphone

Already left my S3 for the Note 2. I'm not an LG fan plus no sd card kills it for me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jonathan3579:
You're going to get the same arguments here that the S2 people made over the Galaxy Nexus. Don't ever try to talk about upgrading to another device unless it's another Galaxy device because they'll rant and rave how it's not an upgrade.

I'm getting the Nexus 4 and selling this phone without thinking twice. Dare I even venture as far as to say that I have remorse for leaving my Galaxy Nexus to upgrade to this phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] flipq88:
Also, arent the soft keys on the screen like on the galaxy nexus?? That makes the screen even smaller.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Zylograth:
I have a 32GB flash drive with a USB OTG cable so I don't care about having a SD card slot. Plus with so much cloud storage and 42Mbps who needs local storage? I am planning on buying the Nexus 4 the day it is released and selling my GS3. Tired of waiting for updates from Samsung. Went through this same junk with the Vibrant and when i switched to the Sensation I said never again, and yet somehow, I ended up with a Samsung phone again, waiting for updates as usual.

I have a Nexus 7 16GB and storage is not an issue there even with several large games installed. I am sure I will be fine with a 16GB Nexus 4.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jackpearce:
I'm thinking about waiting a month or so and try to buy one off Craigslist from someone who might not like it. Wonder if I might be able to get one for like $200 that way.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ItsAaronR:
Honestly I'm not really worried about the lack of SD slot, I am a little hesitant to buy an LG phone, I HATE the G2X...but seeing as this is a pure Google Experience device it may be better, I've owned the Nexus One, Nexus S, and Galaxy Nexus (became a huge Samsung fan after the Galaxy Nexus) but I've ALWAYS been kinda disappointed by the cameras in Nexus devices...seeing as this has been upgraded to an 8 MP camera I'm hoping the quality is better....I guess that will determine if I'll be upgrading.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
I'm definitely doing it. Just checked out the specs, the unlocked version straight from Google is HSPA+ 42

16 GB for $349?

Sell GS3, buy Nexus 4, Profit.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Crisisx1:
Are you 100% sure that one will sport the 42 mb modem? I've read somewhere only t mobil version will have the 42 and the Google version the 21..like the galaxy nexus by smsung
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
Unless Google is lying on their specs on the official sell page..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rwitmer:
The N4 does not tempt me at all. Non-removable battery and no SD card slot are hard deal breakers for me. If I wouldn't had spent so much money on accessories for the S3 I would jump ship to the Note-2 in a heartbeat tho.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Zylograth:
They did finally update the specs page to show

NETWORK

Unlocked GSM/UMTS/HSPA+

GSM/EDGE/GPRS (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)

3G (850, 900, 1700, 1900, 2100 MHz)

HSPA+ 42

But T-Mobile is supposed to be selling it for 199 if you sign a new 2 year contract, which since I am already under contract from my GS3, renewing my contract for 2 more years is no problem for 149.99 off the cost.

But I will totally pay 349.99 if I have to.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
My only concern with that would be that T-Mobile's version won't get updates at the same pace as the GSM version.

Similar to the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] osmosizzz:
I think I'm going for it. I won't be loosing really anything. Except for the SD card. Also tips. If you we yourself thinking for days if you should or not then don't. The reason you are thinking so much is because you will trade someone and you subcontiously are wondering if its worth it. Thinking too much = stay with s3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Zylograth:
I don't think there will be any actual difference just that the one from T-Mobile will be sold at a discount in exchange for the 2 year agreement .
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Crisisx1:
No sd slot does not bother me one bit. I have a 16gb s3 and aren't even close to filling it up. So a 16gb n4 wouldn't bother me.

Two things that do bother me is non removable battery and being made by lg.

Does anyone know the actual capacity of the battery

Did you guys see that Tmo news reported that it will not have WiFi calling. Deal breaker for some and maybe not others.

Only one thing worries me about getting a nexus 4 now. How do you guys think the shipping is going to be? I want to order one on the 13th, but I'm worried that it's going to take like a month to get here. I'm assuming the demand is going to be MASSIVE.

Those of us who preordered the n7 can tell you what a nightmare it was refreshing the shipping thread...f5 f5 f5. In the end, Google made it right. And they probably learned some important lessons about launching a device like that. T-Mobile will take some of the burden as well. Should be fine.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] battlekry:
Honestly, development (cooks and coders) will pick up around here with everyone selling off their SGS3's...

In addition the Nexus 4 is not the only upgrade for Android the software is... It looks like CM and AOKP are about to get even better because take items like the camera on the Nexus 4 for example, Google is finally supporting an 8.0 mp hardware wise that means the software for those iterations of Android for the SGS3 will also improve vastly in many areas, one dear to me is camera function and before the latest advancements El Goog experience has stunk compared to Twiz in departments like camera software and capability... I am sticking with my SGS3..

Really since when does anyone on XDA wait for updates from the carriers anyway... Look at the Vibrant or any SGS1 for proof of that...

The most stable builds are with kernel and build support from the carriers and manufactures but that has never stopped Andy and Samsung device owners in large...

Thoughts yea, regrets nay...

I'm planning to get the note 2 in mid Jan (income TAx) and I wanna sell my phone and get the nexus 4 until then.

Pretty sure I am getting the N4, nothing would make my GF happier than to have my gs3. So I am thinking of giving this to her as an Xmas present. Hopefully T-Mobile will give me an unlock code because she is on AT&T and I don't want to have to pay if I don't want to
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sarni84:
Me and the wife are getting the n4 the specs and display are wayyyy to nice for the price. The s4 pro is a beast. Display = one of the best. I'll give my s3 to my 12 year old daughter trinity she would love it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Android_Monsters:
wrong forum?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ScottC:
I'm definitely switching. Before I got my GS3 I was stoked about all of its extra features (like SVoice and SNote), but in reality, I never use any of them. I'll miss the SD card slot, but I'll gain Miracast (since S-Cast SUCKS) and wireless charging (since Samsung failed to deliver this on time).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SebasC:
The lack of MicroSD card is making me not wanna put my S3 up for sale. I mean you put a mean processor in it, nice HD screen, Great camera but don't provide the storage for the videos you want to see or make, pictures / panoramas you are gonna take kinda takes away from it, granted you can always use cloud storage in my EDGE operated area that's unfortunately a no go..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] capcanuck:
Just posted my s3 on Craig's list. I like the idea of owning a nexus, imma give it a shot..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sarni84:
So anyone buying from T-Mobile or the play store? I have two upgrades in late Nov and I'll probably use them for me and the wife and give my 12 yr old daughter my s3 just hope the T-Mobile version will get updates like the play store version will. I think either way it will whether it be through xda or them:)

I swear you people on here change phones like season's lol how about every body do what im about too do....that is keep the galaxy s3 and go buy the nexus 4 off the play store for 300-350..im getting the 16 gb version...because I no longer have insurance on my phone anymore soo I'm just gonna use both just in case something happens with ether of my phone...im the smart on but ima buy the phone early December....besides galaxy s4 is around the corner lol

I'm weary of anything LG anyways so earlier I read that notice and I'll stand where I am till I get bored with the GS3. It all makes sense though, hardware issues is a LG classic problem they just can't seem to correct no matter who runs the department over there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Monk4Life:
Done using a pre-released non final product. Plus what do you expect for a $299 phone if that is the case. I was a dummy and paid over $600 for my galaxy nexus so a piece of tape instead of a screw for $300 less doesn't bother me at all.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] x1tyme:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cyanogendroid:
Just read an article about someone opening one up and the build quality inside look like garbage. Not sure if I am convinced, but definitely compelling. Any of you guys have thoughts on this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] danielrod:
Just read that LG is trying to sell the phone for 600. Hopefully Google steps in and stops this nonsense!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Monk4Life:
I frankly don't care about this. When the galaxy nexus first cane out it was $700 to try to get one in the US. Now that the rolls are reversed people are complaining.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] md1008:
I am sure they would love to sell it for that price fortunately Google already set the price. I am sure carriers hate what Google is doing as well. Why sign a contract and get a phone for $200 when you can just get it unlocked for not that much more plus enjoy a much cheaper rate. AT&T I am sure is really not happy, T-Mobile I think is less upset as they are striving for prepaid market. In any case it could turn CDMA customers into potential gsm customers so who knows
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
I would sign a contract to save $150 on the phone. I have 5 lines on my account and we're paying less than we would on the value plans. I know I'm not going anywhere in 2 years, why not save $150.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] md1008:
True your on a family plan, for me an individual it makes much more sense to buy a phone out right. Also last I checked the family value plan was less than the classic family. You can also make payments on value plan. Thats how I got the GS3 I have a great rate but I am royally screwed if I terminate my plan early as I have etf+ the remaining balance. At 3-350 out of contact that is a steal

---------- Post added at 02:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 AM ----------

I am sure simple mobile is beyond ecstatic about this seeing how they are not the business of selling phones or contracts.

Also anyone have any word on when the galaxy nexus is going to be put back on the market. Supposedly google said they would.I wonder what kind of price it will be 200-250 or--one can only hope--less
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
We have 5 lines that share 3000 minutes, everyone has unlimited texts, and 4 lines have 2gb data and 1 has 5gb data. We pay $230/mo after taxes and fees. If we were all on the value plan and got new phones it would be over $600 up front and $20/month for each line. That's in addition to whatever the plan costs.

And I believe the value plans still require a contract anyway.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] md1008:
I thought it was only $10 to add people to the plan. In any case $230 ain't bad for 5 people. And its nice to have options for me personally it makes more sense for me to be on the value/per plan. When my girls are teens it may make sense to go on another plan assuming cellular phones are still relevant when that time comes. One is 2 1/2 and the other eight months
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JesseMT4G:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mackster248:
With Google controlling the software side, the N4 should be fine. I actually liked the G2x's build quality. Obviously it was the software that sucked balls.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nory82688:
Exactly my thoughts. I'm definitely buying the Nexus 4
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bighulk666:
Will I switch? Possibly. I'm for sure going to buy it since it's really cheap. LG's build quality is CRAP. I had 3 G2X's all with bad GPS's, so i'm definitely skeptical.

I don't get why a SD card slot is a deal breaker for so many people. I hate the sd card option on both SGS devices I had/have. On the S2 and S3 I've had SD cards go suddenly "bad" and all my data was lost.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imilleson:
Yeah I am still running a vibrant, and I am on jelly bean 4.1.2. I just ordered my SGS 999 . I am sure you will be able to get Android 4.2 on the Galaxy S 3 as soon as CyanogenMod get their hands on the source code

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lorddart:
Honestly was considering trading this for a galaxy nexus and some change, or selling for nexus 4 but honestly... One, camera on this is solid (including ffc), two I don't like the fact that the screens are 'similar' size but the buttons are on screen which actually takes up significant space. I also hate not having a designated settings key. I have a tablet running stock and I don't always like the on screen buttons. So for them to take up screen space and be kinda irritating sucks. I, do not need to external sd since moving most of my music collection to Google Music, but I will say for those with children, friends, relatives they don't see often or simply like to record stuff without the additional space for pictures and videos. You run out quickly. As for build quality, I think lg has made strides since the g2x but I know that thing was uncomfortable to hold even. I sure with stock android this thing will be quick. But I honestly think I'd miss the sgsiii. Another key factor for me is using it as an alarm clock and my main music device so I need something that can produce some volume, and I haven't been impressed with any other manufacturers in that department yet. Also if I were to ask myself what do I really want my phone to do, that it can't, I can't come up with anything, besides be newer and shinier ha.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] md1008:
Well for some no sd means increasing your data to pay for. Down/uploading plus streaming data, plus buying a cloud storage like dropbox. So for me it could increase my overal bill by $30./month. So even if an ad card goes bad 6 moths is worth the. Money a lone $30 every 6 month vs every month. Since all my data is backed up in my hard drive no issue of loosing anything important. Also in the 2 years I have owned smart phones no sd has gone bad and I use cheap usually class 4 cards
