Just stick with whatever you have now until you can get the S3. It's well worth it. All the other metro phones are like crap in comparison.
 
I spent a lot of time playing with my cousin's Metro S3 and its features yesterday...looking at it with the mindset of "how will I feel about owning this phone a month after paying 500 for it" ...and I just don't think I'm gonna dish out that kind of cash for one right now. I get bored of things pretty quickly. Very sleek looking, feels great in your hand and very speedy as hell, but for every day ordinary usage it doesn't really offer any life altering capabilities in my opinion. Truthfully the Connect does not feel considerably slower than the S3 either, even though the Connect is worse in just about every other way LOL.

I mean it's a great phone and has a lot of flashy show off features...easily the best phone on Metro, but once the freshness/newness factor wears off after a few weeks, it's just hard to justify taking a $500 hit for one. Plus whatever I spend on it will really be an unrecoverable loss, because once the T-Mobile merger process is completed in a couple years, the phone will have zero resale value since it's a CDMA phone and T-Mobile's agenda is to completely do away with Metro's CDMA network.

I'm gonna wait for the price to hopefully come down closer to the $400 range before getting one. Sucks though, cause I don't really see this happening any time soon, as I have doubts Metro will have a better phone than this one for quite a while.

In the meantime...hope you guys enjoy it and cherish all of its features for as long as you can.
