I wasn't planning on upgrading, but my 1 year old shattered the screen on my EVO, so I got a SIII. It's very snappy and easy to root, although development as far as ROM's ect is just starting. The 3G is defiantly alot faster and the thing reboots almost as fast as it would take my EVO just to get going again after turning off airplane mode. Good luck whatever u decide.

I would hold off if I were you. Samsung phones or cheap made. Feels like fisher price made it. Lg isn't much better. Unless they changed something, lte networks don't work well with quad-core CPUs which is why we only get the dual-core models. Not to mention the gs3 is just plain ugly.

The GS3 is solidly built, despite looks. Actually like the polycarbonate body, it keeps the weight down, and still solid. In my opinion, the GSIII looks more refined, and it was designed for the the screen to be the focal point, and it is. In addition, one reason besides weight reduction for the polycarbonate body was to reduce signal loss.

That's good. Maybe they learned after that horrible nexus toy. Hopefully Samsung steps up their **** because I may be forced to get one if the communist assholes at Apple keep filing BS lawsuits against htc. I'll keep my fingers crossed so I never have to buy a Samsung phone

Lte works with qualcomm's quad core because it has the integrated lte radio, like the dual core s4.

so i'm assuming your replacement phone arrived? anyway, what's the word on the ROM development over there on the SGIII? was looking for AOKP or CM9 and don't set them. are their plans that you know of?

Had to return the S3

---

I pre-ordered the S3 and had to return it because of poor signal quality. I was upgrading from an Evo 4g and the S3 wouldn't work in some of the places I live and work. The S3 is phenomenal, but it constantly dropped calls or was roaming where I never had issues before. The FTC has mandated that phone manufacturers limit the antennae strength, so I couldn't see how this would improve. So I am back to my Evo and sorry I couldn't make the S3 work for me...

I've read good reviews about the Samsung Galaxy S 3,i was thinking of upgrading to the LTE,but i'm not hearing anything good about it,so i might be going for the Galaxy myself.

Yah the LTE is no good for chronic rom flashers, as the battery is non- removable. The s3 sounds really good and the reviews back that up. I am just wondering if I buy the s3 if it will have as much rom support at the og evo. Also the plastic, no matter how high quality(polycarbonate), is just a little cheap looking.
