It Sucks....Not Anymore

I kind of have the opposite reaction.

It really looked fascinating at first but the more and more I hear about it, the more and more I'm tempted to go ahead and get the Evo 4G LTE (Sprint user here).

I'm currently sitting on a Galaxy 1 Epic 4G and I'm not impressed with Samsung's support. It took us FOREVER to get Eclair, there were problems with the keyboard, and the GPS was absolute garbage. So my confidence in Samsung is not the best.

The other thing I'm concerned with is that even though Samsung has introduced a lot of neat features on the S3, I wonder what that's going to be like with future upgrades compared to other devices running the more generic Android experience. I foresee huge problems with Samsung trying to get all the features working in a newer version of Android. HTC also has a better track record with updating devices than Samsung.

Granted, the development team for the Epic 4G has been fantastic, and I'm currently rocking ICS daily with no problems. That's one thing Samsung phones have going for them, they are easy to unlock and develop on while HTC phones appear to be more difficult (even though they say they are working on it, unlocking bootloaders, etc).

Really interested to see some reviews on the G3, as Evo 4G LTE reviews should start coming in soon.

GPS on my Fascinate was garbage too, until I put ICS on it. Now it locks almost instantly. I think it's a software problem.

I was like mehhh when I was watching the launch show of Galaxy S3 because there was nothing surprising. However, after reading several reviews, I start liking it and wanna become the first one to buy the phone. It was funny that the first choice just described me. Cant wait to see S3 to be release.
