who here is upgrading to the Galaxy S III

[huskur]

The radio in the Gnex isn't nearly as bad as some people would have you believe. I've been running it for 2 months and haven't had half of the problems a lot of people were complaining about. It holds a decent 4G signal when I'm in 4G areas(almost all the time), switches to 3G and back to 4G without issue, doesn't drop calls, no green tinge, etc... Now I could have gotten lucky but that goes for every phone model not just the GNex. I mean how many people were carrying Rezound hot plates in their pockets?

OK. Let me chime in on this one since this was a issue I was having with my Maxx. I now have the SG3 and can tell you that the radio and the retaining of the 4G signal in the GS3 is better than the Maxx. I am sitting right now at my desk in a huge warehouse with concrete walls in a 4G extended area. Right here in this very spot my Maxx would be 3G and rarely would be 4G. If I go near a window 4G would appear on the Maxx. The GS3 on the other hand is rock solid. In the same places in this warehouse and office the SG3 is 4G 90% of the time where the Maxx would be on 4G MAYBE 20% of the time.

Even at my home where I would have 3G/4G switching (i live in a extended 4G network area 2 blocks from my work/office) I am 4G 50% of the time with the Maxx. Now with the SG3 I am 4G at least 80% of the time.

My wifes Bionic NEVER switchs at my house 4G ALWAYS. I got fed up with the Maxx for this reason and went with the Samsung GS3 and am very happy that I did.

Now to debunk it was equipment failure with the Maxx......... not only did I have the Maxx replaced for that issue but I have several friends with the Razr/Maxx and they have the same issues to the T.

Hail to the SG3!!!! So far it's performance has been stellar.

On a side note... if I ran speedtest.net app on the Bionic and the Maxx, the Bionic would beat out the Maxx 8 out of 10 times. Even other peoples Razr/Maxxs the Bionic my wife has would smoke them. Now the SG3 takes the top spot and smokes the Bionic. All when on 4G of course.

I think vzw still has a bunch of work to do on the network. So many wonky reception stories.. My phone has been great, no drops of any kind.

You are going to be jealous, I also have the HTC Rezound with extended battery, the S3 with standard battery is just as good, and phone is light as a feather, and it just flies.
