Is the 28th the confirmed drop dead date for unlimited? And does it affect family plans, or is it line by line?
I've been reading about supposedly improved radios for the SIII too but haven't found the source of the information. So far it's just people saying it in a few forums.
I got an interesting text this morning saying it's my last chance to get a $100 discount to upgrade to ANY 4G phone. Didn't even know I had a discount coming to me, sneaky VZW. Here's the full text.
FREE Verizon msg: Exclusive Offer! Last chance to Upgrade EARLY and get $100 off ANY new 4G LTE Smartphone! Plus, get a 4GB Smartphone data plan for only $30 monthly access! New 2yr agreement & data pak req'd. $30 upgrade fee will apply. Offer ends soon, so call 800.***.**** today! Reply X to stop msgs
I think my hands are tied on what to upgrade to. I'll probably be going with the S3 though I would have liked to see what the Fighter/RazrHD is all about first. Oh well, such is life.
The screen on my X has a wet-looking spot when the phone is off that turns blue when the phone is on and I touch it anywhere. And it's getting bigger by the day. And my battery life is fairly non-existant, and it's been horribly laggy since the upgrade, blah blah blah.... That, plus the fact that my work phone was recently upgraded to an Epic 4G Touch (sweeeet!), means that I have been doing a lot of reading on here (and other places too) the past few days. I'm thinking at this point the SG3 is where I'm headed as well, just need to get it pre-ordered. But I am having a hard time pulling the trigger - I hate to buy a phone sight-unseen....
Just to let you know, those symptoms you described are caused by a swollen, worn out battery. Same exact thing happened to me and many others here as of late. Batteries are only about $4 on Amazon.
Crazily enough, I just read about this on the other "changing phones" thread and pulled the battery immediately. That was deifinitely it! Thank you though, I appreciate your letting me know.
I am upgrading my DX to SGS3 sight unseen. I am not a heavy user and can't remember when my DX battery didn't last the day. My main concern would be the Samsung radios. Hopefully they are improving. I'm not going to sell my DX though. It's still a good phone and will be recommissioned if I have problems with the Samsung.
Everything but the radio
Bigger, higher resolution screen
Faster processor
More RAM
Removable battery (which should still have sufficient battery life)
Typically, Samsung cameras are better than Moto
If the radio turns out to be an issue, I'll return it and get the MAXX (or HD if available).
We don't know about the radio right now, but it isn't one of the factors that had me leaning towards the SGS3. Even if the Euro phones that are out have good radios, it is still irrelevant since the VZW phones will have different radios.So the radio issue is for real? I was thinking of following the same process but I asked the guy at the VZW store if I wanted to exchange the SGS3 for the MAXX (or HD if available) within the 14 day window which price I'd have to pay and he said I'd have to pay full retail on it to retain unlimited data. I could pay the subsidized price, but then I'd be forced to the Share Everything data plan. He said any phone purchase after 6/28 would require full retail price in order to retain unlimited data.
