QWIKSTRIKE

They seem to be offering that in a weird display 1179x720 or something like that. Also it may have a key pad....... that's a deal breaker for me now.....rofl. I couldn't live with out a key pad before my EVO, but after getting the EVO 4G I didn't miss it!

Close enough for me, now if there are no bugs I am leaning way towards Sammy....I like the build and display of the EVO, with HD voice and all but two gig o ram and 1.9 FF camera gets at me......rofl. My problem is can I pre order when my upgrade isn't until 7/01/2012

At a Sprint corporate store my Photon had -65 while the EVO 4G LTE displayed -79 Anandtech review showed that the wifi is weak on the GSIII

What's the -DBM

ROFL......at this rate we can never keep up! July 1st marks my upgrade date until 2014!

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Alleged-HTC-One-XXL-specs-outed-in-leaked-screenshot-and-video-offers-quad-core-and-LTE-too_id31513 Damn it just keeps getting better and better......Not to mention the EVO 4G LTE beat the SGIII in every category except the browser. The war is about to heat up for sure.

Anandtech reports weak wifi in their review. What about that 1XXL.....wow they just keep coming....thats what the EVO 4G LTE should havfe been.....a 1XXL LTE quad 4 variant 2 megs of ram and all!

Taylor Martin, or Ray S. on Phone Arena......IMHO they seem to be more biased in their reviews....Ray especially likes APPLE!

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6022/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-review-att-and-tmobile-usa-variants/4 I hate to say it but out side of browser performance the EVO 4G LTE is beating the SGIII every test posted...Is any one else seeing this or is this just me....I hope the Antenna is better than the EVO. My Photon got a -65 DBM in the Sprint store while the EVO 4G LTE showed a -74 dbm.

Agreed, but I got 1mbs of speed on 3g in Jamaica Queens NYC, and I can tell you that I am looking forward and hope that Sprint doesn't go the way of the Dodo bird and raise prices and kill grandfathered plans with new device offers in the future. If this happen I will bail and pay what ever to Verizon for the slap in the face. As a 15 year loyal customer who can write monthly cost off I hope they are not pimping me for future Tom Foolery. That said I am hoping the NV will give me the thing that I had when I 1st joined Sprint.....great service! I am Cautiously rooting for Sprint, and the company that it can be! Dan has done a pretty good job in spite of Clearwire debacle, and the Wimax failed initiative adoption in the U.S.! Pricing is the best among it's peers, and service just needs to pick up! Network Vision is the answer I hope, and if you bail now you may lose the unlimited pricing in the face of rising cost on other carriers, which may not be wise if you are slated to get network vision!

I have been saying it all along that the MS tablet will have the potential to become king...integrating phone, tablet, and desk top to the office through desktop and exchange server for a secure truly fulfilling business platform. Windows 8 to "ME" is the key to this integration.

Seems like you either like it or hate it from the responses that I have read, but the metro interface is not the desk top. The windows desk top remains in tact albeit a little different in function the look remains the same. "To me" the Metro UI just seems to seamlessly integrate Windows 8 phone, and desktop with out the need of some third party app!

You should look at the new Windows 8. It is taking Windows in a whole new direction. It boots in 15 seconds on legacy hard drives and boots in 5-7 seconds on SSD drives. I can upgrade any device any time that I like with out having to take it in or buy a new unit. The biggest problem with Windows machines are fragmented OEM implementation of cheap "shit" to make stock holders happy. Install a top Asus, or Gigabyte Mobo, and top Corsair, Kingston, or G-Skill memory with a quality hard drive and power supply and you can maintain years of computing. I built my rig in 2009, and upgraded to a new 6 core CPU for $89.00 I decided to change the Mobo and upgraded to 16 gigs of 2100 memory for $90.00. Mac's to me are too controled, and if MS made oem manufacturers make PC's with an upgraded quality of standards list like I have listed the PC would be king. But I sell machines that best cheap Dell, and HP oem equipment that are far more superior, and expandable with a 3 year warranty with top of the line devices!

Carriers only come up with plans that make their stock more attractive for stock holders so they can create bonuses up the wazoo.

NY will be lit up like a Xmas tree when it is all said and done. I believe this is the proper time to be on Sprint, and in the future many will come before they try to go the way of the competitor and nickle and dime us. Sprint was better in the beginning when they let you buy a phone and had a discount for no contract. No matter what carriers tell you they are not losing money on phones in my opinion. iPhone cost about 60.00 to manufacture and carriers may pay Apple a fee for profits remember the cost is no more than 60.00. That said if we buy a phone straight out they still lock us into a 2 year contract shows that they are just greedy, and at this point Sprint is the lesser of those greedy carriers, and that's why I am here. I get service every where I have been from Massachusetts to Florida no dropped calls when driving! SGIII, EVO 4GLTE or Nexus 3is all I want for the NY Xmas tree lighting lol.

I would only be offended if the intention was meant to offend me. It might be a pita to adjust, but "I" am most certain that this is not an offense. Remember you are in the minority for this situation, and I am sure this was never done to offend you or anyone. lol So if this irritates you maybe you might want to send a note about this issue for the hearing impaired to make some good out of this!

As some one who is running Windows 8 I don't see where MS is getting rid of the desktop, or is making the tablet a desk top. I actually like how they merged them together yet have them separate. The desktop is fully functional with touch appeal that can be run by mouse and key board

Google isn't in the handset business, and many are misinformed about this. Google is in the Ad business, and the handset is merely a tool to make the consumer a walking bill board for ad's and cross services offered to sellers. Apple is now seeing the light and is trying to imitate what Google has already achieved. That is to make each consumer able to buy from the ad's that sellers have where ever they are located creating ad revenue from links clicked, and search's performed where ver the consumer may be. Google pretty much would give these services away for free like Google maps to create interaction with sellers that they promote in search there by creating revenue. Google originally wanted data to be $10.00 for unlimited service but the carriers shot this down to monetize data as they all are doing now.
