Thanks for everything!

Just wanted to shout out and say thanks to all that have helped me over the months with my Note.

With my relocation to Pennsylvania, I spend an hour on the train going from West Chester to Philadelphia. I needed better cell service and thus I needed to go to Verizon. I picked up a Galaxy S3 and a Galaxy Tablet 10.1 4G LTE. The "Share Everything" data plan was perfect and in my budget compared to the extra data costs I was paying to have an iPad 4G.

I will miss my Phablet, but sure I will get all I need from having the Galaxy Tablet now. I watch a lot of Netflix and read books on my hour long commute one way, so it will surely prove quite useful!

I get a small expense back from the company towards cell service so I was able to get a 10GB data plan and it not cost me a fortune.

Take care!

Haha; yeah it's quite smaller than the Note.

I enjoy it -- pretty fast phone.

Given I needed to be on Verizon for coverage; the S3 was the best out there.
 
I am going to miss you all too.

I will say this; after having my S3 for the last 3 days, it is really an AWESOME phone.

I think my main love is the fact that when I'm looking at a text message I can simply put my phone to my head and call someone. I actually used it today after I got a disturbing text that prompted a phone call. Instead of having to hit the menu button and call contact, I just slapped it to my face and it goes "beep" then dials. LOVE IT!

I'm not having much trouble going down in size as it's still fairly large--it is nice to be able to one-hand things LOL.

From the perspective of hardware and such; it's pretty far out. It's nice to have wallpapers with black actually show right unlike our many issues with black clipping. If the Note 2 comes to Verizon I will be jumping ship quick--it's supposed to be better hardware wise than the S3.

On another note; it is rather appealing to sit in my apartment in West Chester and have full signal and 4G LTE, whereas previously I would have 1 bar and maybe 4G with AT&T and the Note.
 
Are you saying your AT&T Note didn't work in West Chester?

It worked for the most part--I just had spotty reception. If I was in my apartment it had 1 bar with 4G speed. If I walked into my bedroom I had no service (indicated on phone.)

Now that I have my Verizon S3; I have a full signal any where in my apartment and 4G LTE speeds (grant it I have Wifi, but when I am around the city it is nice.)

The other issue was AT&T signal strength alone the Paoli/Thorndale train line. I take the train into the city for work and it's an hour ride. With Verizon (tested it today), I have great signal so I can sit and stream netflix the whole way with very little buffering needed. It keeps me sane while I realize I am way the hell out in the boonies LOL.
