Nice!:biggrin:

Good choice. It would be nice if apple just didn't change one or two features each year while never updating the UI.

Too bad VZ doesn't have red.

Nice!:biggrin:

This phone is a freaking beast! Whoa is it nice!

The iPhone 5 screen is just too small, plus I had just finished 1 year on a month to month contract, I had a 4GB data plan that I was able to keep because I chose the android. If I had gotten the iPhone that would have gone bye bye.

Haha this time last year I went into a Verizon store to buy a Bold 9930 - it didn't even occur to me that it was iPhone launch day. At first I was thinking "why is it so damn crowded here??" Then it clicked....

Great choice, I love my GS3.

And 4GB is a must if you're on LTE.

 

[dbk]

haha.. nice! I have to admit, blue is kinda ugly though..

 

[SAWYER]

excellent

 

[Bateluer]

There was some pictures of different colors that turned up a while back . . .the rumor was a late fall launch, I think. Kinda sad when a 'launch' is just a different color though.

Some people said the same thing about the white version.

I just put some wood on mine:

Yeah, I had a 2GB plan but had jumped on their data doubler offer a few months ago, it's really nice to be able to keep it

I like the blue, even got a blue silicon skin for it

And a $110/month phone bill....for one person. Lol, no thanks.

I was able to keep my old plan because I selected the android, if I wanted the iPhone I would have had to switch. With road side assistance service, 450 minutes & 4GB my bill is like $72. Not nearly as cheap as the various prepaid plans out there but I need a device that works when I travel. Big Red has never failed me in terms of reception so I am pretty happy.

 

[Zargon]

thats why I havent left big red. no one can remotely match their coverage in the areas I spend time

That's awesome you were able to keep your old plan, the new shared plans are so awful. Even for the old plans that's a lower than normal price....do you have a discount or opted out of texting or something?

 

[sze5003]

I'm not liking the shared data plans. I'll pay full retail for my next phone and make sure its unlocked.

I pay as I go for texting, it's not a feature I need much.

 

[SAWYER]

Have you thought of using google voice to text? It is free

I know.. I seriously don't text, most people I'd speak to that way are on twitter/facebook anyway

True. Since everyone knows the schools WiFi and a lot of people don't get service in our school so we "text" through Twitter

This is a really sweet phone. 1 thing I am wondering does anyone really use swipe to type? voice dictation works pretty well I'm sitting out on the patio right now having a drink and posting here

Swype is decent once you figure it out. It's great for one handed typing. For two thumb typing i tend to use SwiftKey.

In NYC my job supplied droid razr lte is shit compared to my tmobile sgs3 on tmobile 4g. On lte I get 5-10mbs and on my sgs3 I always get 13-24.
