S3 is a tank and the screen sucks in daylight. Totally buy one.

I heard they're selling iPhones with iMagnifying Glasses now so you can see the screen.

My brother-in-law has owned every iPhone and iPad. He just bought a S3. Of course, he'll probably buy an iPhone 5 when that comes out, and then buy whichever new Apple or Samsung model is released first after that, and repeat ad nauseum.

L2S, I thought I needed a real keyboard after my old motorola droid but it took like 10 minutes to get used to the touchscreen, you might be surprised at how easy the switch is.

Just looking for this thread last night. Working off an old ass Blackberry and was thinking pretty hard about an iPhone 5. Seems like a solid phone but nothing special. Didn't know songs on iTunes are leased rather than owned. Not a fan of that model. Like the size of the Razr M that just came out but might wait to check out the Nokia 920. Looks like a solid option.

Funny you two must have magic s3's. Because it is a major complaint from most people who aren't screaming Apple haters. Even diehard android fanboys admit it is a problem.
Google galaxy s3 in sunlight.
Lulz, enjoy that one.Brought to you by Carl's Jr.

My Nexus is definitely hard to read in the sun, although just tilting it around a bit seems to solve the problem pretty much. Not a dealbreaker for me.

I spent 4 hours in the sun answering emails, surfing the web and checking tgr on the jobsite on Wednesday. I think I know how my S3 performs. Maybe mine is magic.
As for your video, I have yet to see a phone that can compete with the sun being DIRECTLY BEHIND it. For about a quarter of the video the fricking sun was reflecting off the phone. Maybe a old school nokia flip phone with a b&w dot matrix screen would have shown up in that video. Maybe the iphone fanboyz are trying to latch onto a weakness of the phone since they're falling behind and are jealous.
FWIW, I've done the pepsi challenge with a coworker and his iphone 4s. Yes his is brighter in the sun, but not enough to make a major difference. Both work in the sun.I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

Just ordered the EVO LTE. Have the old EVO 4g, but apparently dropping your phone in a cup of beer isn't good for it.

trandfer music Into winamp desktop software on your computer then synch that with your phone's winamp app.
Works kike a charm
I know. It's a somewhat older after market pioneer unit that previous owner of her truck installed. It worked fine with my iPhone and her Blackberry (which she just replaced yesterday with a Galaxy to further enrage Gameface).
Screen on the Pioneer shows "memory full" error when you attempt to pair. I was going to do some research to try and figure out if there's some bluetooth compatibilty issue with older devices.
I liked my iPhone I've had two of them. So has my wife. Having spoken to several people with the S3 and played around with one myself for a while I decided I liked it so bought one. So hardly a fanboy merely a purchaser. I did have to exchange it for a replacement a couple of days in, after it refused to boot/continually froze, as far as I can tell that is not a widespread issue and is not dissimilar to an issue I had with the iPhone.Last edited by PNWbrit; 09-14-2012 at 10:27 AM.

I think my patience may have just been paid off with the new Photon from Motorola. Android, sweet looking keyboard, front facing camera for video conferencing and it is a World phone for when I am on the road. http://www.motorola.com/us/consumers...WT.mc_ev=click

Anyone had both the iphone and S3? What's your preference? The only smartphone I've had has been Android.
The wife and I are due for new phones and will be buying one or both of them. I'm leaning toward the S3 (partly because I don't want to wait another month). Is the touch sharing thing on the S3 make buying two of those between us a good idea? I'm coming from a smaller LG Optimus which fit nice in the pocket. How's the S3 for size?
I really need to get in the shop here soon and hold them, but just wanted to see what tgr world thought.
