After going the weekend with it, I have to say, I wish I had gotten this before the SIII. I know there's a lot of back and forth about build quality and all that in these forums. But, the HOX just feels more sturdy to me. If I had held both phones prior to making my purchase, I would gone HOX from the get go.
Also, I didn't really mind Touchwiz. I liked the ripple to unlock thing. But, I found it way to easy to unlock in my pocket pulling the phone out. This is my first experience with Sense. There's actually a lot of similarity between Touchwiz and Sense. I almost feel like the arguing between the two is either over very minute details, or between people who haven't actually lived with both. I don't know, just a side thought there.
Another back and forth that I've seen a lot of in these forums is about the screens. I really didn't think it was possible to get any better than the S3 screen. Loved that screen. But, there's something about this screen that I actually like better. Not entirely sure what it is and I never had an opportunity to use the two side by side to really do any kind of comparison.
I've been fighting the AT&T update. I don't think I can postpone it anymore. But, I really forgot how great universal search it. (I realize that this isn't HOX specific.)
I'll report back anything new that comes to mind.
