    Anyone have this phone? Do you like it? I'm looking to get the biggest best phone for next 2 years. I've been happy with my infuse and found the size to never be a problem for me. If anything alittle bigger would not be that bad.
    Thanks tech savvy people!

    I have one and it is awesome, no complaints. They are talking about a new version 4 later this year so maybe hold off for that one. Either way you can't go wrong.

    well if you cheap like me go with the S2 with boost moble

    Well one thing I've learned with the 2 year contract thing is if you buy the very best latest and greatest at the time. It will only be obsolete the last 6 months you own it. Then all the software compatibility issues start showing up.

    Have the S3 and no complaints. Switched from iPhone 4 to this and made money on the trade in program from best buy. Hopefully I can do the same when my contract is up.

    I am happy with my S3, but speed was more important to me than being able to do the stuff with the pen that the Note has. The wife is even going to switch from Apple to the an S3.

    If being up to date on software is your concern go with a nexus phone, they are a bare bones android phone the way Google intended and are the first phones to receive updates... I have the galaxy nexus which just hit end of life status(carriers no longer selling) and I have the latest version of android(4.2.1) the s3's are still on 4.1.? android 4.3 or 5.0 will be released early summer for the nexus devices as well. the newest nexus out is the nexus 4 by lg.

    I've had all three of the S's and they've each been incrementally better. Iphones are ok, but I just prefer android and big. I probably should have gotten the note, but the S3 is big enough and bigger than iPhone 4.

    I love my S3. I've rooted it, but haven't replaced any ROMs or anything, just removed the bloatware. I didn't like the Note because its just too big, and doesn't fit in my pocket. I've had the S3 since it came out, wouldn't have anything else.

    I would recommend looking at the Droid Razr Maxx HD. It has the biggest baddest battery and is just as fast if not a little faster than everything else in the market right now.

    The battery is pretty good, but thats it. The processor is a 1.2ghz Dual-core processor vs 1.6ghz Quad-core processor of the Note II. It only has 1 gig of RAM vs 2 gigs of RAM like the Note II.

    I've got the note 2,and the size doesn't bother me. I love having the large screen. I do find I don't have it tethered to me as much, which to me is a good thing.

    That's the way I am with my infuse now. It gets set down next to me most the time. I'm in the habit of picking it up when I leave. I don't like to have even smaller phone tethered to me so might as well have a big one sitting next to me.

    HTC one X +. This replaced my S3. 64 gb internal mem, way better camers and will run 4.2 jellybean when released. Quad core and built better.

    Just my .02
