[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
The S3 is light, but it's delicate. I've already broken two - and i'm pretty careful with my devices. Don't for a second believe that 'gorilla glass 2' is 'just as good as gorilla glass 1'. It's a bunch of bs.

It's quick, I like the bigger screen. Hate no keyboard, and refuse to use the 'fake' virtual keyboard. Had to go get a real virtual keyboard to cope. (I don't do fake well anyways)

I have an S3 on verizon, and the doubleshot on t-mo.

I use the s3 for work, because I travel and t-mobile ****ed me bad with no service - across most of the country. I haven't been to a backwater nowhere town yet that verizon didn't have good service in. T-mo, pretty much nowhere that isn't a huge population center.

But guess what? If I have to take a picture (and I take lots during the course of my shifts) I always pull the doubleshot. The S3 has the worst camera of any digital device i've put my hands on in the last 3 years.

My job depends on legible pictures - the S3 fails to deliver usable pictures so consistently the might as well just have left that out and put more ram in.

If I have to write an email, or the descriptions for those pictures where I can't use the magic cube? Yep - doubleshot. Then a wifi hotspot to send it to the S3 since I have no T-mo service wherever I am standing most likely.

So, despite having an S3, I still use the doubleshot for just about everything, and basically the s3 is a glorified internet connection to make up for T-mo's lack of network basically anywhere.

I do like the USB OTG function, and create and receive flash drives constantly while at work. It's the best way to swap large files like we make between each other on shift. The fact I can do it from my phone and don't need a laptop/netbook like most other people are stuck with is clutch.

Again, though, basically data hits the s3 and just goes over to the doubleshot where I actually work with it.

I do use the s3 to play Ingress - multi-window is nice if you port it or flash a rom that has it. I can't see multi-window being much more then frustrating on anything smaller then the s3 screen size.

I'm hit or miss on other games on the s3, can't say as I prefer it over the doubleshot or vice versa. The bigger screen isn't that much of a deal, but it might have been if I had the bigger one first.

I wanted to be a lot happier with it then I was, the extra ram is nice and the screen size is boss. Native HID bluetooth support is nice, but I find I don't really use it much beyond the magic cube. The MHL cable is cumbersome compared to the tv-out function of the doubleshot.

I sure as **** miss the keyboard shortcut hotkeys on the s3, just using android on it is clunky compared to a hardware keyboard device. If you got used to using them, get prepared to have your legs kicked out from under you. Doing specific things on the device takes 4 times as long or longer (if you can find something to tap to tell it to do what you want even - sometimes the keyboard shortcuts allow actions you can't otherwise perform)

Just having to do everything the long way without the keyboard shortcuts eliminates any performance gains the extra ram provides in general usage. 9 times out of 10 the doubleshot gets it done way faster just because I can tell it to do what I want it to do so much quicker.

nfc tags kinda make up for it a little bit, but not really. They are very limited in that you can only do what the tag is programmed to do. I have just under 50 tags in general use - it starts to become too much after a bit. Keyboard shortcuts are much more elegant.

In the end, my feelings on the s3 are just ... meh. If I could put the doubleshot on verizon, i'd sell the s3 in a heartbeat without a backward thought.
