It looks like the MAP might be outdated though, since it lists starting "5/31" which was when many believed the phone would be released. I really think it'll release on the 14th if theres not anymore delays. The Bionic was on Verizons TestMan site 14 days before release as well.
Anyways this is good news, because I have a 50$ discount and I'll be able to get the phone for only 100$. Or I could pay up 50$ more and have an S3...hmmm. The s3 is really ugly though, the Dinc4g is something i could be proud to carry around.
If you are concerned about vanity i would think you would have already gone to iphone. The iphone 4s looks asthetically and feels TONS better than anything android has.
But yeah if you want the most future proof phone concerning the innards between the two, you would pay $50 more and get the GS3 (higher resolution and more ram).

Sammy made the SG2 a best seller last year. I think they know what they are doing.

It's all about personal preferences. The girl behind me in line for the GNex had been waiting for it for weeks, but left the store with an iPhone because the GNex was too big. There is a market for the 4" and under phones still, that has nothing to do with price.

Apples to oranges really. If she would have left with an LG Lucid you would have a more valid point.
The SG3 is a flagship phone. The Dinc 4G has been said midrange. That's not to say I'm not going for the Dinc (I want to see them both in the store first), but the Sammy is going to blow the Dinc away in sales.

No doubt. But I think the Dinc will be better for what it is, a cell phone. Itll be more portable and easier to use one handed.

Well at the time the Lucid wasn't out yet. She had a OG Dinc and loved it she said... But who knows.
Anyways, I'm in agreement, that for the value proposition, the GS3 is the better buy. But for some, it's about other factors. I'm not one of them, I would get a Note if VZW had it.
The SG3 has a Wolfson DAC onboard. This could make call quality and the speakerphone really good, not to mention a great music player. In a comparison video the SG3 rated higher than the One X for call quality. The Sammy also has a gesture option that let's you put the phone up to your ear to place a call. We'll see how the radios compare.
Just curious, but is that price without any rebates, or after a rebate? They've been saying that the Inc4g is supposed to have a $50 rebate also, which would put it at $100 for everyone if the price is before rebate.
As far as the iphone being more asthetically pleasing, that's kinda a matter of opinion. It definitely goes for the minimalist look. The I4/4S is basically a flat slab with rounded corners, a button, & a metal accent band (looks wise, I know it's the antenna). On the basis of looks, I personally think that HTC, Sony, & even Moto have more character to them than Apple, Samsung, or LG. I used to really like all things Apple, but to me the designs, while clean, are also kind of boring. And whoever thought having 90% of the case being glass was a good idea should get out more. If the case can be shattered from hip height, that's not the phone for me. There's no way out of it with the screen, but no sense doubling your chances of a broken phone.

You said it brother!
Oh the irony. Just got galaxy nexus. Price was free so my comment isn't completely false. 4.6 is too big gut I'll have to deal. The price was right
Oh man am I dissapointed in you. Right after I give ya a "couldn't have said it better myself"
My guess is there are a lot of people who don't even know the Inc 4G is even getting ready to released, that are buying other phones, that would have bought the Inc 4G if they had released it back in May like they were suppose to. I'm holding out for it or keeping my Org Inc, one or the other. I will not get a 4.3" or bigger phone. Just not for me.Oh man am I dissapointed in you. Right after I give ya a "couldn't have said it better myself"
I said the same thing but free was worth trying. I would own an incredible 4g I'd it came out by Tuesday at $149 never knowing nexus would have cost 0
Ya, free is a great price. I still would pass though. I had the Rezound for a few days and took it back. 4.3" is just to big for me. So even free wouldn't get me to take one.

I tried the Rezound too and I thought it was too big as well. I think it was just the phone itself was very big and thick. I tried the Tmobile Galaxy s2 and thought it was fine as well as the Nexus.
While it is too big for me, it is thinner with Otterbox on plus I can safely land a helicopter on it.
