Not a chance. Even if I was able to sell my blaze for 250 I will be going backwards by $150. I don't have the money to waste just for ICS. But if we blaze owners are to be denied ICS then I am done with Samsung.
Slider phones seem like they would break/have problems, etc.

There is no "back to". A phone with a keyboard is superior. PERIOD. If you don't want to use the keyboard in a situation, don't. Use the inferior pretend OSK instead. But when you NEED the real keyboard (like you're typing out an email more than 5 characters long), its there to use.

Bro the Relay may be awesome with a keyboard and a newer chip and all that... Umm other stuff but for me a phone is only as good as the Dev Community backing it and WE(us Blaze owners) have the best! Where's ur Forum at? Where's ur custom Roms at? Where's ur custom Kernels at? Ya uhh huh thought so... Ha HA HA I'm j/k but serious kinda too I buy a phone for the Devs and community too I've never been an early adopter that's just me tho... Lol

The only reason I think people would want a physical keyboard is because they are to lazy to learn how to properly touch type. Even more, with the new swype beta I would never need a physical keyboard so it would just add bulk to the phone for something I do not need. All this is just my opinion though all in all, I LOVE my blaze and am satisfied and more than happy with it.

That's your opinion because from the phones I've used the physical keyboard suck either the keys are too flat in or the are spongy and feel weird like the moto droid only physical keyboard I would say is awesome is on a blackberry. So again your opinion on them being better.
And they do break I have a my touch 4g slide **** broke in like 2 months now the keyboard doesn't work but the one on the screen does

Rumor mill has it that there will be two versions on AT&T, one with a slider and one without.
A slider? Was ist das?
What's wrong with sliders? Some people like to have a physical keyboard, and they won't buy a phone unless it has one.
The business I'm in often has me working in sandy trenches, which murder physical buttons. I've ruined many a phone that way. Also, don't the sliders usually have less memory and hats disk space (i could be wrong)
Plus Swype is the shizzz
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk
as someone else already said, rumor has it that there will be two samsung phones - one with and one without a slide keyboard.
If there is only a slider, am I wrong to think that porting roms from the international sgs2 will be more difficult. I hope neither of these are the case as a bulk of our roms come from the international version of our phone currently.

And I thought religious debates were over and here we are again with apple and samsung xD and yes all of us are aware of the s3's capabilities but let us allow other people to believe in their own right. They can dwell in their illusion as long as they want so let them be.

Pretty hard to brick, great phone for the price. Cwm makes easy nandroid and allows you to select how you want it saved. Sods are almost non-existent anymore. On ICS I don't think there is any sods. But I've been running test kernels for a week now for jellybean based ROMs and I think there's light at the end of the tunnel. All in all get it if you can't afford an s3. I personally like it better than the s3 because of the size.

I just checked at best buy and they currently have the s3 at 150 with 2 year agreement my question is have you guys ever tried buying through best buy? Does your plan change in any way after you guys have done this? Tmobile always tries to make it impossible for their customers that's why I ask these things. I see it as a good investment worse comes to worse down the line I can just opt out and pay 200 penalty and I would still have my s3.

Definitely agree, I believe us GS3 users are not as impressed as others. The gs3 set the bar so high, it's kinda hard to notch that with the s4. The obvious hardware upgrade is nice which I still don't believe android is ready for quad core, octa-core processors and again we might the least powerful one. All the camera stuff if you don't voice chat, then all that doesn't matter. Also the air wave is kinda overrated bet most of us won't use it,cool idea though. Might be stuck to stock browser too and for some reason I have never used it on this phone or previous one.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Not going to make me switch. I am actually more impressed with the HTC One due to the build quality.
I love my s3, but IMO most these features they have are gimmicky and I would hardly use majority of them. I will say the camera looks good, but also have been impressed with the Ones camera.
Honestly Id rather have a Note 2 over this.
I am sure it will sell well though.
Sent from a galaxy far away!
I'm not as excited about the S4 as I was about the S3. But that doesn't mean I won't get it! This phone will be too dope to pass up... Once I get that sexy beast in the palm of my hand, there's gonna be no going back. (that's what she said) Does anyone else think it's slightly weak that Samsung releases the S4 so soon after the S3? Obviously they know people like me will buy it anyways, but still.... Who wants to take a guess at off contract pricing for the Samsung Galaxy S4? Over $700.00? My guess is the $650.00 range.

The SIV looks just like the S3, that's the only downfall!
Other than that, yes.
I'll be getting the 64GB Version w/ a 64GB SD Card.
Don't get me wrong, its going to be a great phone for anyone who is not using the s3...
I just feel the "upgrades" are nothing plausible compare to the concept of s3...i mean i do not use all of the motions of s3...few additional ones are not going to change that because well...I wont' be using them. I do not voice chat so all the pretty camera things are cool.
Do I want it? yes...will I cough up another 200 bucks? Heck no! hell it wont be 200 considering t-mobile will probably sell it at what? 350? 400?
Its not plausable to the point I will drop my s3 and run after it...s3 set the bar too high for even samsung. This is like Iphone 4 and Iphone 4s...the s4 being the 4s...expect the gs3 blows the iphone out of the water so we wont even get on to s4.
Perhaps if the s5 comes around, we will talk
For me, I don't even like the Samsung software anyway, so all I pay attention to is the specs. Which means for me its just another notch up in the seemingly never-ending screen size growth of android phones; and some modest hardware upgrades.
I will say that the processor, new sensors (temperature, humidity & some others) and camera sounds pretty awesome, but nowhere near anything good enough for me to switch.
And Samsung with all its gimmicky software features is nothing in my eyes worth looking at trying out TouchJizz...
I won't be switching any time soon. Especially since I just upgraded on January 27. And it was a tough decision between this and the Note 2. Went with the S3 cause I got it for $99.99 at Target.
