Re: Amazon has the S3 for $149 (currently: individual upgrades on
Thanks for the heads up on the blue GS3 on Amazon for $149. As to Amazon's contract, they are not a service provider and get paid a commission for every phone they sell that's activated. As an existing ATT customer with an available upgrade, once the phone is received and then activated, the existing plan is grandfathered over and like all 2 year contracts there's an ETF. At least ATT hasn't as yet switched their data plans to the stupid shared thing Verizon just pulled
I understand what you folks are saying about the unlikelihood of there being many issues, but some of the folks over in XDA will disagree with you. As you know, they've seen a number of issues with the international models already. And since Sammy is shipping the GS3 to all US carriers there is bound to be some hardware/software issues that will surface.
Since I'm a noob at Android, most everyone on this forum I've messaged with says that universally you won't find any device that doesn't have some issues since Andriod is open sourced and the various device companies have customized it with the exception of the Nexus.. Or did I miss something?
Regardless, I still think it makes sense to wait another week and then see how I like the phone at the ATT store. I don't need to be the first kid on the block with the new device
