Hey guys I'm in the UK and I need a new phone for university currently using the nexus s but the battery is horrible and it isn't that fast. I've been considering a galaxy s 3 although there pretty dam expensive on SIM free so could you guys quickly run me through the benefits of it and where would be the cheapest place to get it? Oh and I don't want it on contract.

Is anyone else eyeballing the GN2?
I'm itching to go play with one.... The GN2 is the only reason I haven't bought a GS3 yet.

I'm sure I'll keep my GS4G as a backup, but the way it sounds I'll more than likely get one also.

Then I can expect some sickness from Team Acid... that is great news.
I didn't even know about the Galaxy Note 2 until this thread was started lol. After reading everything about it it is definitely going to be my next phone. It is a BEAST!.. I'm sure I'll get used to its size. Thanks for starting this thread btw.
My wife and mother in-law just picked up a couple of Galaxy S3 16GB yesterday for free.. it was hard not to take the bait, but the Note 2 is so close now.

Whooops, I meant pre-orders are available, but those who did pre-order should have received the very first units friday or monday (today)!
I can't wait to get a job!
Wind has the Note II coming soon too to Canada. I just got my SGS4G though, so it would be a while for me to get that. lol. I go with their tab plan, pay your bill and they apply 10% of your bill to pay off the phone. Maybe it will lower the price of the S3 though.
That sounds like the tmobile value pan here in the US. Pay a small fee to buy the phone then part of your new bill goes to paying the rest of the phone off. We switched to the value plan, and our bill went down even with adding a s3 with unlimited data for my mother in law. Wife is picking up the note 2 as I write this. Probably the last post from this device, it has been a rock sold device for almost two years and we'll sit in the drawer as a backup now....

Picked it up today. Absolutely wonderful device.
With the note 2 on the left in both pics you can see is even slimmer than the gs4g.

I'll say this... My wife and her mom got free GS3's and I decided to wait it out for the GN2. If you decided to go with the GN2 you will not regret it.
Hey I have a chance to get a phone on contract and switch it to my unlimited plan on Verizon. I have an s3. Is this the best on verizon. My friend for some reason has really bad credit but has a chance to get new lines with new contract price. Then he is just not going to pay. Now this isn't something I would do but he did offered me a chance to get any phone I want for cheap price. Should I keep my s3 or just get a different phone and sell it.

Do you like the Note 2? I'd get that if I had the chance. If you want to wait a few months then we may see the GS4. The best phone currently announced is Xperia Z which who knows will ever come to VZW.
I do like the note 2 but it is pretty big. Is that the best phone to get
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Its really a matter of preference in screen size. And the fact the note has a quad core. I would wait and get the galaxy 4 when it comes out. I love my 3
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Yeah so ill probably just keep my s3 so ill just sell a phone is there anywhere I can sell. I know ebay and I have close to 500 feedback but hate fees. If someone offers something I can do threw paypal.

Try craigslist. You can often get better prices on ebay even after the fees, if you are lucky.
The new DNA looks pretty good. Only down side is it doesn't have a removable battery or expandable memery

My unbiased opinion says the SIII is still King.
I agree I just happen yo be running a note 2 rom on my 3. Best if both worlds

S3 is my baby. Love the thing. But if the Note 2 was out when I upgraded, I may have gone with that. They're so close on about everything except screen size. Like it was stated above, personal preference.

That's dirty, man.
yeah when you said "for some reason" your friend has bad credit.... Doing stuff like this is the reason. It's also why lots of people who are just joining verizon pay a $300 deductible for service. That being said, my gf has the SIII, and I'm still rockin' the GNEX running ParanoidAndroid. I'm upgrading my work phone and going with either the Note2 or the DNA. I think you'd get a better re-sale price for either of these 2 phones than for the SIII if that's what you're looking for.
Tell your friend I said thanks for doing his part to make my service more expensive.
Whats the name of your note 2 rom and is there a Verizon version

Honestly you should blame the verizon reps. We went today and he was 250 past due. Usually they don't open new lines. He was going to pay it but the rep said its Ok I have a way around it so you can pay later. I was on the side like WHAT. What would you do. So not to a note 2 at 350? Instead of full retail? I ended get the note 2 for my gf which it is pretty cool.

Ya have you heard the rumored size of the note3. It's going to be 6.5 inches. I think the 5.5 is pushing it. I held the note 2 is not to bad but anything bigger than that is pointless to me unless you are on bluetooth headset all day for calls. The battery has to be humongous to power that bad boy.

I currently have a Samsung Infuse. I'm fairly happy with it since installing CM10.1. Anyone have experience with both phones? I can get a One X for around $250. Anything else you would recommend in the same price range?

Is that $250 off contract? You can get one for free with an upgrade. You need to let us know if you are upgrading or seeking a phone off contract. I would also agree with the post above me. Stick with Samsung instead of HTC

Sorry, off contract. Using Straight Talk. I've also been eyeing a Nexus 4...but not sure I wanna spend that much...at least $350 on CL in my area.

I used to have an Infuse and I hated it. Mind you that was prior to having sold it for an S2 i777. I also never rooted it and did root the s2 and loved it. Have you considered an s2?

Get the One X if it is an ATT version. There is S-OFF now and development is solid.

You guys fail to be within his $200 budget for a used phone.
I suggest an AT&T Samsung galaxy s2 or a samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket. You should be able to get one on that budget. I got my skyrocket for $170 on new condition few months ago.

And the skyrocket you musta been lucky cuz the cheapest I found was 250 and the s2 I don't like cuz of the processor the atrix hd is the idea of what I want so I'm guessing I'm going with it cuz the phones yall listed are not in my budget thx though

You need to check swappa
They've got a couple on there now around 200$
If you're due for an upgrade, the Galaxy Note II refurbed was available for $199.99 very recently.
ATT galaxy note 1 used around 200 on CL

I still just have the original Note and over a year later I'm still pretty happy. I do occasionally start jonesing for the note 2, but not sure about the life of a refurb, I think it only saves about about $50, but with the S4 out I expect a new note 2 to drop in price soon. BTW, I haven't touched my laptop in a couple of months, I live out where the bear does his business and this is the way I get internet. No cable or DSL is within 20 miles of me... I had satellite but its more expensive and slower.

I'm with metropcs right now I can't afford a contract I'm switching to straight talk that's why I need a at&t phone I would get a tmobile cuz of faster data speed but not many tmobile towers here

Have you considered looking into something from Pantech? The Pantech Burst, used, would save you about $100 from your $200 budget and is a very nice phone for the money. It also has a mostly-working CM10.
You could also look into newer phones like the Pantech Discover, In general, it's a good brand for the value-conscious.
Ok I decided to go with tmobile instead I'm thinking about getting the galaxy s blaze if I buy the $50 unlimited talk text 100 mb 4g speed and I run up the 4g will I have the hspa+ speed?
