    Any word on the radio yet?

    Qualcomm radios... That was my point. It's all on the same chip. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Battery on S III

    Sounds like a good deal to me. My wife used to feel that way until I screwed up and got s stuck with blackberry storms for two years! Now she choses her own phones (iPhones). I won't try talking her into android. If she's happy with the iPhone, how can I win by talking her into and android...

    Anyone have a woman's review of the device?

    I agree 100%!!!!! I bough my blackberry storms on launch day for my wife and myself. I didn't hear the end of it for 2 years and I didn't say a word when she went for an iPhone. :-) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Difference between onboard and removable storage?

    If your nit going to root you phone and mess with partitions, the is a real advantage to more internal memory, provided the the 32gb version allows more space for apps. There are quite a few apps that can be exported to the SD card and even those that can, still require space on in internal...

    Maxx Battery Not Lasting

    It takes two to three full charges from ten percent to full to prime the battery. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    My initial thoughts on the Maxx

    I found that it took the Maxx a good 2 or 3 charges to prime the battery. I get a solid two days out of it with moderate to heavy use (including streaming an hour or two of Netflix). The Maxx has some weaknesses but endurance isn't one of them. It's a good but fairly average phone spec-wise...

    Stronger radios than the S2

    This isn't correct. The reason all of the north American providers are using the S4 in their latest LTE phones is because it has an integrated radio built right on the SoC that can handle all frequencies used in the US and Canada, edge, GSM, cdma, hspa+ and LTE. It's just a matter of writing...

    Battery on S III

    If she loves he iPhone 4s because of it's, she's not going to be happy with the jump in size to the Maxx. My wife loves her freakin' iPhone. She cracked the screen and used my old Droid X for a week until she got her replacement and was miserable. Good luck with that move. If I were you, I...

    Any word on the radio yet?

    It's. Different radio from the gnex. As the prior member wrote, it the same S4 SoC as used in the HTC one X. The gnex TI OMAP 4460 with a multi-chip radio solution. The qualcomm should be a big improvement! Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

    Please help! Otterbox Commuter or Seido Active

    I have my mass in an otter box commuter and I am 100% confident that it will withstand the rigors of life. I dropped it off a counter onto a marble (harder than concrete) floor the second day I had the phone and the commuter saved the day. Not a scratch on the phone or case. It is a tax bulky...

    Verizon SGS3 shipping BEFORE 7/9 according to Verizon

    I hate to be cynical, but it is apparent to me that the July 9 date is there days after the one month cut off for double data. I think they are using that date just to discourage people From buying a phone under contract, then returning it at the end of the contract and getting a GS3. Sent...

    Tempted by galaxy s3

    Good comments. I have the same issue with the finicky touch response causing adjacent apps to open. It also freezes up from tome to time. I haven't really noticed any lagginess, but the email does gas yo constantly be refreshed as does the visual voicemail, which is a real issue because you...

    Tempted by galaxy s3

    I think the maxx's screen does have great blacks and good Colorado reproduction, but at least mine has a big defect. When viewed in a dark room it has nasty blotches and streaks all over the screen that ruins the viewing experience, particularly for darker scenes. I think the problem is caused...

    Tempted by galaxy s3

    I am still tempted by theS3. I use my phone to stream Netflix in bed at night and that extra half inch makes a big difference. Battery life and radio are the big concern, but I am optimistic on the battery life front. The stock battery is 2100mah and the one x, running the same chipset (US)...
