Get galaxy s3 now or wait for the next nexus ?

[vany]

Hi all
My upgrade is coming pretty soon,I currently own an htc desire...it's too old now and I got many problems with it(had it since launch,can't complain).The GS3 seems like the best option for me right now but with all the rumors about the LG nexus,I'm kinda hesitated about getting the GS3.I can wait till the end of the month when it's rumored that it will be announced but that's not the problem..

1-Nexus phones take too long to be available in my country,the nexus 7 for example is still not available(been 3.5 months so far and still counting).The galaxy nexus was available at the end of march(that's around 5 or 6 months from launch) and it was exclusive to vodafone(which isn't even my carrier) for a month or 2.

2-It may only have 8GB of storage which isn't enough of course,if there's a 16gb variant I can THINK about it.

So what do you guys think ? Do you think it would be worth the very long wait or the GS3 would be enough to serve me for 2 or 3 years to come ?

I think you should at least wait for the official announcement.If you liked it then make up your mind whether you can wait for it to be available in your country or not,if you didn't then get the GS3...It's a great phone Good luck.

What country. My rule is buy when you need. Waiting just leads to more waiting. Always newer better around the corner.

I think I agree with you,if I waited a couple of months to get the LG nexus there will already be rumors about the GS4 and how great it is(A15 QUAD CORE EXYNOS CPU/MALI T604 GPU,2GB RAM,5.0'' 1080P FLEXIBLE HD SUPER AMOLED DISPLAY bla bla lol).I can get it online but then I won't have warranty.Also the lack of sd card slot is kinda of a deal breaker for me,the 32GB sd card on my desire is OK but I still have to delete some stuff from time to time so 8GB(actual usable memory is 6GB) or even 16GB(actual usable memory is 11GB) won't be enough for me.
