Nice to see the 4.8" screen with the increased pixel count. It'll help me get over my depression that I can't get a Samsung Galaxy Note without going back to AT&T and losing my unlimited Verizon data plan.

The pentile display, plus the likely chance of it using the dual-core S4 processor when it comes to Verizon, makes me a disappointed dude.

agreed. Well, hopefully all the big names will still pick it up eventually.

In any case I think I'm going to milk my fascinate until it dies

I just upgraded my ROM to AOKP just so I can have something new to carry me for a while.. But I don't think I'm going to wait past June for a new phone..

One important question: Once the Samsung Galaxy S III is available from Verizon, how long will it be until there's an AOKP/Glitchy rom available for it that'll give me all the stability and control I now have over my Fascinate? Because until there is, I'm not sure I want to upgrade.

Hopefully not long.. ;-)

i would rather have a dual core with glitched aokp over a quad core with touchwiz. yea the quad would be nice, but its not going to be significantly better until things are optimized for it. by then it will be obsolete anyways and something new will be out.

My phone now seems to do everything I ask of it pretty much instantly. Maybe I'm not using complex enough apps.

I can only think of two things that would cause me to upgrade any time soon:
-broken screen/other hardware
-boredom from lack of new ROMs to flash

I did get a bit sad when I read how eager steven.k.spear was to pick one up. C'est la vie. Perhaps the GSIII will be a magnet for talented devs.

my camera is broken but the only thing I'll upgrade to is the nexus once it is out on uscc.

Thankfully I have aokp running on my phone. Looks like I'll be stuck with it a long time....My carrier (ntelos) just released the iphone4s... Smaller screen + good phone - Android = F#!k that. They don't even have a gs2 yet.

I really do want a front facing camera so I could Skype with the kids when I'm away for a while..

LTE is good also since I find myself in the city often..

I want to upgrade because I'm really feeling the limitations of 384MB of free RAM. My phone can barely multi-task; 1GB would be so much more freeing for me. Also, I want to get a phone that does not have this phantom key press. Yeah, it only happens in low 3G/1X areas, but it's still extremely annoying. Plus, I'd like a front facing camera, LTE, and a nice GPU upgrade (an NFC chip and a gyroscope would also be nice).

If uscc releases the nexus soon then you can bet we won't see sgs3 till spring next year. I hope this isn't the case but with a smaller carrier you just can't tell. New contract with Sammy brings hope though.

yes their marketing is so gay lol.

and last I heard, as soon as they finish the first stage of LTE rollouts they will be releasing the nexus, that was supposed to be two months ago and they haven't released even a statement, none of the store techs even know what it is at my local store. we know it is coming, just no word on when.
