Enjoy it when you get home!

Lol, I'm 30 miles away. I am tempted to leave early. But I don't want to use up my comp time.
The plan is to go home and take a shower, eat and then lay up on sofa with the central air on blast and play with my new toy!

Fedex said it would arrive by 3pm. Doorbell Rand at 2:59! Just unboxed it. Getting ready to turn it on

For those of you coming from a Moto phone...

If you were like me with an X, I'm sure you probably invested in multiple chargers for here and there. I would like to know if they are compatible with the GS3. I ask because My wife has a GS2 and one of my daughters have a Samsung Dart and at least 3 of my after market chargers will not fit their phones. Mostly the chargers with the "L" shaped mini usb. Also I have one with more rubber covering around the mini usb which does not allow the mini USB to sit all the way into the their phones. And on a similar note, if they fit, do they work? When my boss went from his X to a Maxx, his original X charger worked fine but his after market at work did not. PC didn't even recognize the Maxx plugged in. Hopefully no difference in car chargers as well.

Just curious as to how much more I will be spending in accessories this time around...

Motorola chargers work fantastic with Samsung phones. This includes the car charger as well.

Didn't you hear the galaxy s IV is coming out in september. I'll be upgrading my siii at that time.

I agree. Looks like a confusing way to keep those on shared plans using up their data so they can charge them overage fees for that data. This is definitely not a Samsung change, but a Verizon one. Does anyone know if Verizon removed the 3G option from the settings menu? That is another trick to force more data use. They did that on the Razr Maxx ICS update.

To everyone switching from the razor, the battery life is a lot better. I am down 3% compared to my usual 10-15

Wouldn't it be the opposite thinking? They have an annoying wifi notification there ALL the time staring you in the face. If I saw that (which basically would be every time I'd get a notification), I'd think.. "oh, I should check if I have wifi here now"

I assume you mean the regular RAZR. If so, I have one and this good news. Now that I think about it....I shoulda just hung on to my Droid X1 till now...

Like my RAZR....but the newer lte hardware and newer chip was probably worth waiting for. Although...by the time Moto drops a new phone...it will be almost a year since I had my RAZR.

Yes I was. The new razr hd will be a beast, but I am happy with the galaxy 3

Oh and 8.5 hrs of heavy use to 6% battery left. 3.6 hours of screen time. No WiFi. 3g and 4g only

Motorola will mess it up somehow. Don't they have the worst locked bootloaders?

The sgs3 is also. From what I gather, if you are a vzw customer, chances of getting and unlocked bootloader is slim to none. Even the nexus is locked on vzw iirc

Check it out:

Progress is being made.

**Serial Fordicator** · 07-08-2012, 11:24 PM

Cool. I don't really root my devices anymore so I probably won't do this one. Except maybe to turn off the annoying WiFi warning this thing has on it. Vzw is sure worried about their f@#$ing data
