Nothing revolutionary, which disappointed people, but it's still a solid phone imo. Though the Galaxy SIII is far ahead software wise, the only thing it really lacks is the ecosystem.

Will pre-order, cant wait

The GS3 can easily last you a day with good use. I have the gs3 and I love it, the screen size is a plus to me I like the real estate that comes with it. I think it really comes down to what software you like and what not. I prefer the customization that comes with an android phone so I go with that.

i'm the same way, have had a droid incredible for probably a year and a half or so, spent 40 bucks on a better battery, and the damn thing is dead halfway through my day at work. only reason i even thought about the new iphone

[Draztik]

My HTC One X lasts all day through my 12hr shift with Microsoft Exchange account set to push and lots of background services.

By the time I'm home I still have 30-40% left

Yea my old phone was the same way but with the gs3 Im very pleased with the battery. I mean if you want crazy battery power there is the droid razr max or whatever it is called, that offers the best battery life out there. Both the iphone and gs3 offer great battery power.

Thinking of buying 1... i only have an iphone 4... idk if i should get it when it comes out or wait until my upgrade in march.

Just got the 5 and its retarded fast.
Thinner and way lighter.
Mind you I had the 3GS so this is a huge upgrade for me.
Don't know if its worth the upgrade for the 4s people.

My boss walked into a Best Buy and they had a few available

[bigfetz]

My friend got one and man that [expletive] is really light. Like almost too light for me. I like my phone to have a little weight to it but the shear fact of making something like that and making it that thing and light is pretty impressive.

nah is it really light.

[Draztik]

nah is it really light.

Yea and very thin, nicest looking phone I've seen so far

[Gotrings?]

Is it a good phone? I am thinking of upgrading ( I have the very first and original droid - the one that came out 4 years ago), so I am shopping around to see which one phone is the best. I am looking for something light and fast. I have Verizon and I think I am going to lose my unlimited data plan because of their changes, but ohh well.
