|
|
I've been holding off for a long time. I've been waiting over 2 years to upgrade to a smart phone. Pretty much I'm the only one with an idiotic stupid phone from friends and family.
So I've decided to get a smart phone finally. I was waiting for the Iphone 5 but after thinking about it, I'll finally pass on it.
So what would you guys advise. Should I get the Galaxy S III now or wait for the Note 2? I'm guessing it's the hardware on the Note 2 that counts.
I love the size for sure but is it worth carrying around that big thing in my pocket?
Any input would be helpful in making my decision. |

For what it is worth, if you have waited more than 2 years...as I have done as well...then wait the 2 more months for the Note 2 to make your decision.
I have little doubt that the Note 2 will be worth it. |

I decided against the Note because of its size. The Note 2 will be even bigger. I think the S3 is as big as a cellphone needs to be. |

Precisely my reasoning as well...but obviously with a different outcome in decision making. |

The S3 is big but not too big, and it is lightning fast. However, like all Android phones, the real issue is app compatibility. Some of the apps and game I used on my old S1 won't run on the S3... |

That's one of the issues I have some givings of going with galaxy. I know IOS is starting to slowly get fragmented so not sure which way to stray towards... annoying. |

Get the s3 and the nexus 7. Should be cheaper and you get the best of both worlds. |

well if you don't already have an iphone, i don't see how that would matter for you. personally, i'd go with the s3. the note looks cool, but it seems more like a tablet than a phone imo. |
