Well ain’t that some shit. You can pony up full price and get an unlocked SGS3 for Verizon direct from Samsung. Reasonable deal really, you get an unlocked phone and Verizon doesn’t have to warranty is when you muff your phone doing stupid shit. I just hope this doesn’t pull dev efforts off of the locked phone because I’m really not motivated to sell this on ebay to buy the dev phone. ---

I’ve never had a crackberry so I can’t compare battery life but my S3 is very good. That’s with LTE, wifi and constant usage. I do have extra batteries though. ---

Root the phone (basically giving you admin privilages kinda sorta) - Tons of programs that can do it with minimal effort. Find a ROM (Pretty much wipe the phone start over with a new OS/features/etc.) Install said rom. ---

I wouldn’t recommend the ROM route. I mean, it’s not a terrible idea, but that shouldn’t be the answer here. The answer should be, the phone should work correctly or be swapped out. Personally, I would do a Factory reset/wipe on the device before putting on a ROM (which will wipe out your phone anyway). ---
