Hi everyone,
New to the forum but have been reading a lot lately as I am completely bored with my iPhone. I have had everyone since the 3 and I think it's time for a change. I have had my eye on the GS3 for awhile now but I do have some concerns that I am hoping some folks here can address for me. I did search them but couldn't quite find all that I was looking for so here goes.
I am a business user and I need my e-mails immediately. As it stands now I have my business account through Gmail and I have it set up to push to my iPhone by setting it up as an exchange account. Now I realize that Google services will be highly integrated with the GS3 but will I be able to push e-mails to this phone from Gmail? Do I continue to set it up as an exchange account?
Other things that are important to me are calendars and phone quality and wifi. I have heard that the wifi connections can sometimes be troublesome to connect to and stay connected with. Is this the case?
Visual Voice Mail is another thing that is important to me and I have found that I can add the AT&T app and that seems to work fairly well from what I saw on a YouTube video. Curious to hear your thoughts on the AT&T app.
I am in my car a lot and love the fact that I can get in with my iPhone and it automatically connects to my car via bluetooth. I am assuming I can do this with the GS3 and play music?
And finally the last thing is the build quality. I am not so much concerned with the plastic but more concerned about how the screen is sealed to the frame and what the possibilities are of getting all kinds of dust and lint under the screen and in places where it should go.
So I am trying to decide on whether or not I should make the switch. The iPhone works for what I need it to do but am just bored of it and hoping that the GS3 can fit the bill. I will switch in a heartbeat if I don't sacrifice and of the above and can successfully use this phone as reliably as I have used my iPhone.
Thank you in advance for your responses. Looking forward to reading them.
