I went over to a local BB yesterday just to see if they had any display models up. I thought that we weren't supposed to be able to buy them on Sprint until the 19th, but they said that I could buy one now. I have an employee plan, so it would have taken 45 minutes at least, plus I didn't have a case and BB doesn't sell many cases for phones except for iPhones and Samsung Galaxy models, so I decided to go home and order a case and some screen protectors from Amazon for $10 + $8 for overnight shipping. I'm hoping to pick it up tonight after the gym, or possibly tomorrow if I get out too late.
I also want to watch more reviews to convince myself this is the right phone for me. I've had a Note 2 for the last 20 months and it's getting very sluggish and also Bluetooth has gotten a bit wonky. Just got a Flex for my father-in-law and I'd been looking at that for myself, but the QHD and Laser focusing have kind of gotten me more interested in the G3 - plus the extra RAM. But I was hoping to wait to see what the next Nexus was going to be, and maybe even the next Note, both of which I think will come with Android L installed.
Anyone have info on when we might be able to expect an update to L? Will the G3 have to wait till next Spring or later?
One review I saw mentioned the screen had artifacts due to "oversharpening" especially around text, that the screen was dimmer than average (which causes more battery drain because you have to turn the brightness up all the way to see things better), and also a bit undersaturated. Anyone have any feedback regarding these criticisms?
