Default Leaving for GS3.

I'm leaving the Photon for the GS3. While the time with this phone wass awesome. I have never really enjoyed it. Never did a phone need so much tweaking to it's software. Hardware is where this phone really shined. I doubt my Samsung will have the signal strength but some sacrifices must be made. To keep it short I want to say that it was fun being a part of this community. Thanks and I will see you guys around.

Interesting cause most people agree that even at stock the photon is beast. But oh well, different strokes i suppose. Take it easy!

What tweaking does it need??

It's so tiring when people make general comments like this (about any phone) without providing any facts or examples. Might as well just not say anything.

The grass is always greener .....

At least it's tweaking able. I had Galaxy Nexus one month, it was nice phone, with nice ICS, nice notification led and vibrations, probably a little faster, but very bad loudspeaker comparing to our phone, the display was somehow... different, bluetooth sound was delayed. Every rom or kernel or radio, including official, caused at least one automatic reboot per day or two. So I decided, it's not worth the price and returned to Photon. Photon is not perfect, but better than GN for me. Maybe GS3 will be better for you, don't know much about it.

Can you all move Samsung talk to a Samsung thread? In this case, sounds like this needs to move to a "For Sale" thread.

Reported.
