Coming from a Thunderbolt, I have an upgrade available. I like AOSP ROMs. GB is a bit long in the tooth, and none of the current ICS ROMs are stable (major radio issues, 'white screen' on apps). I want a ~5" multiprocessor phone.
My options are:
- SGS3 - both AOKP & CM10 appear quite usable as daily drivers. Sprint JB update means even more stable VZW JB ROMs.
- Wait for HTC DLX - hires screen and quad-core, but performance unknown at this time
- (Razr HD is out because of bootloader, and SGS3 trumps it anyways, in my opinion)
I was planning to get the SGS3 through Costco. Because I'm in CA, tax kills getting it from anywhere else. Plus, I have 90 days to exchange for a new phone, which would be the DLX if the bootloader gets unlocked and good ROMs come out.
However, Worst Buy has a sale tomorrow - VZW SGS3 for $100 (+ tax). This would be ~$50 less than the total Costo price. If the DLX has a good chance at getting a GOOD AOSP JB ROM, I'll swallow that $50 for the chance at a possible upgrade to the DLX.
Any thoughts?
