+1. The only reason I'm not jumping to the One X is I'd have to dump 2/3s of my music collection that I have on the 32gig iPhone. I'm not interested in spending my evenings 'managing' my music collection.Not True - 10 GB available for data (music, etc) is just not enough. And I don't understand why if carriers (remember this is an ATT decision - international version has 32 GB (26 available)) want to have fixed memory they don't give additional options like Apple (16, 32, 64) or now the SGIII (16,32, 64) in addition to micro SD expansion. In this day and age you shouldn't have to micro manage your storage.
Its going to be between the Verizon sgs3 and the Verizon one x. I will have to wait and compare them both, hopefully they both will be at ctia.
The GS3 on Verizon showing up at CTIA, which starts tomorrow, is very very unlikely. Samsung always makes a special event showing the different versions for the different carriers at the same time. They already announced a USA tour for June, so, don't expect to see the GS3 there. The biggest news out of CTIA in regard to Verizon so far is the introduction of the Droid Incredible 4G LTE, doubt very much to see a One X for Verizon since it's an AT&T exclusive phone, they might have something based on the One X without being the One X, like the Evo 4G LTE on Sprint.
Not too sure about the June thing myself. They were not clear on June being the tour or release. Different sites are quoting June as the release window, but the presser seemed really ambiguous. Anybody seen confirmation either way??
Im planning on calling Sprint, I'm eligible for an upgrade now and I really need a phone. So I would like to have the E4GLTE until the GS3 comes out 2-4 weeks after. The return policy for Sprint is 14 days so Im going to call and see if when the GS3 comes out they'll let me switch to that without any fees.
Hm...they are not as lenient as they used to be. Especially on two brand new flagship phones. If you can hold out until the GS3 is out would be much better.
I would get a Skyrocket if you need a phone now. One of the reasons why people are disappointed with the S3 is because it s only marginally better than the S2, which means a lot of S2 owners like me don't have any incentive to upgrade. The 4.5" on the skyrocket is already quite big and the 4.8" might go past the limit. The 720p is nice but it depends on the person if they can appreciate the 300+ dpi. Many can't see the difference, especially when holding the phone further back. Even on a 720p screen, you'll still need to pinch to zoom text on webpages. The camera, build quality, and even perceived speed aren't that different. The jump from dual to quad core is less significant than from single to dual, almost imperceptible in many cases. It depends on how optimized the software is, and most definitely ain't optimized. You can also find better deals on the skyrocket since it is an older model. Then again, a lot of people come here because they want the newest, fastest, and greatest for the bragging rights and ego, regardless of what they may consciously believe.
This is just exactly how I feel towards GSIII. I love my Skyrocket (the design imo much better than GIII) and I see no reason to rush and preorder GIII with it's just slightly bumped up specs. We also have to keep in mind that when it finally reaches USA it won't have Exynos processor and most likely will be replaced with the same qualcomm LTE chip as in Skyrocket. So to me this phone is an insignificant upgrade... I might get this phone though probably later this year when I'm due for a line upgrade but I'll have to see hOw the ATT version will look like first and if nothing interesting will come out by that time. The fact that it doesn't have Samoled plus is also kinda disappointing
