    Default New Cell Phone

    Getting a new cell in the next couple days. I have it narrowed down to 2 phones, the S3 and the Razr Maxx HD. Both have a ton of features I like and a few I dont. Which one do I get?

    I picked up an S3 a couple weeks ago and love it. Looked at the Note 2 as well, but like you said too big. Plus, it was $100 more and I didn't think it has anything over an S3 to spend the extra $100 on it.

    I've always thought the Motorola interface was bland and boring. I've played around with both the MAXX and the S3. Personally, I'd go with the S3. However, if you want really good battery life I'd go with the MAXX.

    Regardless you can't go wrong with either.

    I would also go with the S3. If I was addicted to having a jailbroken Iphone, the Galaxy line of phones would be my next choice. Each model they get better and better.

    As a long term user of iPhones, If I were to switch, it'd either be the S3 or the Note 2. I played with the note 2 at AT&T the other day and it wasn't as big as I thought it would be. I personally think its kinda manageable. But if size is an issue, I'd get the S3

    I finally picked up the GS3 during black friday for a steal. One word: Awesome phone. Once you get used to it and get it all figured out, you'll love it. My apple seems like a kids toy now compared to it. Too simple.

    Samsung rep was in there with a Verizon Note 2 which gets released tomorrow. He did a hell of a selling job and I want one. I wouldnt use 10% of what it is capable of, but damn is that thing cool. In 3 separate windows he had 2 youtube vids playing and was browsing the net in another window. All of them ran easily on 4G.

    I haven't seen any Note 2's yet in person, I wanna see what it's like though because I really love big phones. But gosh does it sound good from what you experienced.

    You have to check one out. Like I said, more features than I would even scrape the surface of.

    Oh, its running on the quad core processor that is available for the S3 outside N.America. Fast as hell.

    I was waiting for you to tell me you were selling it. I have 2 weeks to decide if I want to trade this in on the Note 2.

    I played with the Note 2 a bit more but decided it was too big for me. Staying with the S3.

    If you have Verizon and an S3 check for a software update. Jellybean has been released.
