I ditched my Note 3....

[Jasburyy]

Had a GS3, couldn't wait for the Note 3 to come out. I got one, loved it, beautiful phone, but could not get past the size of it. Great for looking at, but not great hanging from your belt, and definitely not good in the pocket. So.....I'm back to the S3. The S4 in my opinion, is not worth the upgrade, not enough to sign a 2 year contract for anyway. So....I purchased a fresh battery on ebay, and now I will look forward to any new software updates Verizon may send its way....ya right!

I was in the same place as you about the S4 but when they finally came out with the 32 gb internal storage I waited and found one on Swappa.com which was just like new. I have never looked back at the S3 except when I sold them both on Swappa.com recently. S3 are getting very close to end of life. They are selling for almost nothing when it comes to the 16 gb and the 32 gb are selling for somewhat more. I sold mine which was a mint S3 for $250.00, which helped finance my S4 - 32gb. I really like the S4 and have considered a note 3 but the issues many are having with them and there are several people having the same issue with the note 3 this : https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/807795 has 15 or so pages and has stayed at the top of that forum for about 5 days almost like it is a sticky. YMMV
