Just a basic question, no trolling. Just wondering what issues people have, and wondering who's leaving it for something else.

Im still intended on keeping this, but if that HTC DNA comes out writing my return period (45 days)I might have to consider that instead.

It seems like the camera issues are mainly software so I assume they will be fixed. Pocket now did a video sample and it came out great!

Even if the camera gets an update it still won't be as good as the s3, but the large battery makes up for it imho.

Keeping.

I cant imagine going to any other device right now. It just feels so nice in my hands. Recovery is on its way, we have root, just need JB ROMs and i will be set.

Apparently TWRP from the RAZR M works fine for this (not scaled for an HD screen).

Devs are currently silent, but i suggest you saunter on over to the Dev forum on XDA and check out the JB leak thread.

After 7 days of use, I am on the fence.

With the "Smart Actions" application, I am lasting a day plus on battery alone.

The build quality is solid and like Deus_eps_machina said, it feels good in the palm of your hand.

Although intermittent, I am finding that the radio drops completely when I have full LTE to a red triangle.

With Jellybean around the corner (they're are leaks already), I am hoping that my signal issues are addressed.

If so, I will hold on to this until the next glut of "flagship" devices arrive.

Perhaps with the upcoming update a new radio firmware will improve the signal quality? My Razr has been doing great.
Anyway, I'm keeping this girl. I'm on 1d and 15hrs usage with over 4 hours of screen time. My old g-nex wouldn't have been able to touch 1/2 of that battery performance. the only major issue with this phone, as others have pointed out, is the lousy camera. the camera sucks but it isn't a deal breaker.

My thoughts exactly. I don't own it yet but I plan on buying it. Coming from the Nexus S I don't have high expectations in regards to the camera... I'm sad I'm leaving stock AOSP behind though

Its so close to AOSP that I dont think you will be that saddened (at least in the visual sense). With Nova launcher and the stock jelly bean icons, you would be pretty happy IMHO.

its tough for me cuz I have the S3, so its about which one do I want more. Had I not used the s3 I'd think this phone was insane. But I know first hand the camera is well below. And with cm10 and razr m launcher the S3 is basically the same ui.

That Black SGS3 looks great, but with the HTC DNA / Note 2 and even the 8x, I think id rather hold out for those (or keep the razr)

Seems like the note 2 is getting awesome battery life....anyone have any opinions on which phone would last longer?
I would vote this one. 200mAh more, smaller screen and no touchwiz. Spec wise, the note 2 blows this out of the water in every category other than battery size and durability. Reception probably is better on the RAZR too.

If the camera is bothering you that much just download camera zoom fx from the app store and you will notice a huge difference



But I don't think the stock camera is THAT bad
