Getting a new phone tomorrow

[ray1970]

Finally time to replace my p.o.s. Blackberry. (No, "p.o.s." doesn't mean "point of sale" )

Not sure what I'll end up with. Figure I'll go into the store and fondle a bunch of phones and ask questions. I'm not really an Apple fan so I doubt I'll get an Iphone. But you never know. I want to check out the Samsung Galaxy S III. I've never had an Android phone but I hear good things about them.

Who's your carrier? I'd suggest the SIII unless you have Sprint. Then I'd get the Evo 4g LTE.

Sorry, I should have mentioned... I do have Sprint.

Headed to the website now to check out the one you suggested.

I have Verizon Droid 3. Love it!!!!!!! Best phone I've had so far. But now out dated I'm sure.

I waited to get a new phone until the S3 dropped then I still went home with the Evo. The screen is .1" smaller but the way Samsung does the pixels makes the screen look much cleaner on the Evo even though they're the same resolution. The camera is really nice too. Plus physically it feels like a much more solid phone. Go compare them though. Those two phones are the best you can do right now.

Here's an example of a photo from the Evo during a crazy rain storm down in Denver a little ways back (compressed via facebook mind you):

Photo and video capabilities will be very important to me on this one as it will be my primary camera for all of the pictures and video I take on my Hawaiian vacation in a couple of weeks.

Internet browsing and email will be important too because I am hoping to leave my laptop at home for the trip and just rely on my phone.

I'll definitely have to lay hands on the phones first. Darn near every one of them seems pretty similar on-line.

Like I said, go check them out and see which one you like more. The Evo and SIII are pretty similiar hardware wise (processor, RAM, etc). I know you shoot some vids at the range so you might want to check that out. That's one thing you can't really test at the store though. Playback always looks good on the camera's screen. It's when you get it on your computer that it makes or breaks it. Unfortunately I haven't seen any video/photos from an S3 outside of the phone itself.

I have verizon but i went with the Droid Bionic from motorola because its my only internet at home so screen size was important. Its way faster then the iphone i have at work, i hated i phones already but after getting one from work i really prefer the droids and androids.

Sounds like you are the yang to my phone needs.

Ha. I would guess probably 80% of today's cell phone users are the yang to your ying.
