What's there to convince?
If you want newer hardware, get the GSIII
If you want newer software, keep the GN.

Or flash a custom JB rom to the S3 in late July / early August and keep both!

Considering 6000 devs just got their hands on a GN that will be receiving a JB OTA update tonight...
...I presume those users who are rooted will be seeing JB in rom form...within a few days?
Obviously, food for thought. Not everyone is rooted so there's that.
There is one conclusion that came to mind though--the SIII, hardware aside, seems stunningly...outdated...right now?
why I should get this phone when my Galaxy Nexus will have Jelly Bean around the time this phone is released? I already prordered it.
Speaking of Nexus phones, ics was released in October 2011,and the Sprint Nexus S got the final ics push over 6 months later. By final push, I am disregarding any other that was pulled or otherwise halted. There were other phones that received ics before the final ics push on the Sprint Nexus S. So don't just assume that in all cases, Nexus phones will get the update very shortly after a new version announcement.
Personally, I chose not to get the gnex because of the subpar radio. Of course, the S3 CDMA radio is unknown, so I may return the S3 should the radio prove disappointing.
btw, there is already a gs3 running jelly bean. If you. MUST have Jelly Bean now on your verizon gs3 which you dont have yet, then you can. Of course, not much works, but hey, I am not the one super antsy about jelly bean.
Where? Must be a port from the Nexus. Considering how difficult it is (i'm currently F5'ing no less than 6 different JB OTA threads) to get it on even a regular GSM Nexus, I sort of doubt this. But if you have pictures of it actually on an S3 I would more than appreciate it.

I'm loving this OTA build too. And I know that it's only going to get better.

Meh, that's highly unstable.
I'm on the OTA port currently and it's the bee's knees.
Mr. Worley, if you have a Nexus and it is rooted/unlocked, come to the rooting subforum to taste the Jelly Beans .
Well, I did say that not much works. It isn't something that I would be installing. But, if you MUST have Jelly Bean on the s3, then it is possible.
Someone will figure out a better way. Thankfully the Nexus cats can get a more...direct version.
Of course, I am sure something better will come. the op seemed obsessed with jb on a phone that verizon hasn't even released yet,hence why I posted it.

Concerned about the wifi issue. How's it working for you? I will flash this later today when I have time.
