Updates, updates. I have no one to blame but myself. When i had a choice between the SGSIII, and the Nexus4, i chose the Sammy. It was a money thing. I do love my Sammy, but the 4G LTE is not that big of a deal, and 16gbs space is all that i really need. Some of the other "special" features of my phone, i don't use, and they are disabled. The customizations would be the same, but the stock updates?well that's another story. I don't like Kies, and the only way to see the extSD card on my Mac, is to use AirDroid. Rooting is a non issue, as it would be a pain in the butt with either phone, unless i split my hard drive. I've had the SGSIII for about a year, but if i knew then what i know now, i would have gotten the Nexus4. That $350.00 price tag scared me, but not again. If the Nexus5 comes out within the next 6 to 8 months, it's Ebay time for Sammy, and hello to Nexy. Just my personal opinion, folks.
