GSIII for android, I'd say

The GS3 looks very tempting!!! So if i go this route, i wont have 4g until its released in minnesota area???

What else do people use their phones for nowadays? Lol, with the exception of games which I'm sure many people don't play. It's the difference in how fast you can get these things done that differentiates phones. Every smartphone can do what you mentioned but its the speed that matters.

I use my optimus as a PC rescue platform capable of installing windows or Linux via USB or running ultimate boot cd image. All from one bootable sdcard also if I'm not gameing or watching movies I'm usually tethering something or useing it to troubleshoot my campgrounds wifi network.......I love my optimus

I upgraded from the Optimus S to the EVO 4G LTE. Couldn't be happier. There's already a one-click root/unlock/recovery method, several ROMs are available, and CM9 and AOKP are well on their way. The display is every bit as crisp and clear as the iPhone, plus it's bigger.

The knock on Samsug has been general build quality, poor radios, and I'm just not a fan of their SAMOLED display (oversaturated and cartoonish IMO).

I'm gonna have to disagree I love my s3, I don't see an oversaturation problem and it also doesn't look cartoonist to me. Although the radio is weak was pulling 2 bars with my opti in my trailer now im lucky to get 1.

IMO the best phone for the money is the Epic 4g touch especially if your not getting lte anytime soon. Its very powerful, sleek, nice screen, seems to have good rom support, ect

The galexy s3 is nice but isnt that huge of an improvement over the epic 4g touch, definitely not worth double the money

That is the phone that my aunt got and she seems to like it.. I never talked to anyone about the epic touch, so what are some other opinions on it?

The E4GT is pretty slick. I've got a couple of folks here at the office that have let me play with theirs and they really like it and so do I. I have not had a chance to really play (root & ROM) one yet as I would need to switch my distro to use Heimdall.

Well thanks to the devs for the awesome mods to squeeze a tad bit more out of the optimus, but i finally upgraded, and i went the Galaxy S3 route and couldnt be happier. This phone is amazing. Good thing i bought it within 30 days of the iphone5 coming out, because if that comes out and is better i might switch to that for free.

I think it's 15 days now...I seem to remember something about the 30 day period changing

Best Buy told me 30 days, so hopefully it is, either way the iphone 5 comes out sept 12 supposedly, so thats more than enough time

My only concern with the s3, is its fricken huge. Hard to text with one hand I wish i could get IME keyboard so i could use T9, I always liked that way of texting

Yeah, Sprint policy is 15 days, but I don't know about Best Buy's policies.

I just got the S3 Saturday...completely blown away! It is packed with so many neat features I discover more and more every day...and I love the camera!

It is pretty big, after using it for a while looking back at my old phone or friends iPhones they look like toys now lol. Youtube videos look great, and 3D games are amazing (if you're into that stuff! ) Definitely a top phone in my book!
