Ugh, every time I see this thread pop up and it isn’t someone saying Jelly Bean is available for the AT&T S3 I’m disappointed. Really miss the way the latest iOS was released for everyone the second Apple made it available. ---

On the plus side, when you’re on Android you’ve probably already had features of the latest iOS release for 2 years. 🙂 ---

Verizon? Do you want an Android for sure? Do you want to tinker with it? If you’re into big phones the Galaxy Note II is on VZW and pretty sweet, the DNA thing that came out today looks pretty nice too, and the iphone5 is always best for people who don’t want to fuck with their smartphone. But yeah the GS3 is still most popular, with all the app/rom/accessory support that comes with that. ---

I have been on android for years but also own an Ipad so I am comfortable jailbreaking and messing with those as well. I do feel that my wifes Iphone is lacking to my current phone and the S3 will even be larger leap forward. I will have to compare the Note as I have not read anything on it. I am concerned with speed, as I am often doing several things at once on it and my current incredible 2 gets bogged down somewhat often. Actually that last statement really disqualifies the iphone as it does not do all the fun things that i have my android set up for with work. ---

The Note II is basically a supersized GS3, which I wish I had. But I spend more time reading ebooks on my phone than talking on it. :shrug: The Droid DNA that HTC released today looks pretty silly on paper at least. Quad core processor and a 440 ppi screen? Could be worth waiting for. Motorola’s got like a half dozen RAZR’s out now that are all solid phones too. Some sort of RAZR Maxx is probably still your only bet for getting through a full day of moderate use. 12 hours is about the limit with the GS3. Any of the latest smartphones will run circles around your incredible2. You can’t lose. ---

the battery life on my regular droid razr is laughable. I have it plugged in all day long at my desk, and again when I go to bed. Shits awful. ---
