FWIW Still using the SSGS3 in Canada on Telus.
I really can't complain much about the phone. I am getting twitchy about something new. The HTC One almost tempted me, but I don't like the two step you need to get for such settings like wifi, brightness etc compared to Samsung.
I am really hoping that Google releases something that I just MUST have this year. I could use something new and have a back up phone. I would like to have a native Google aka stock phone. One that isn't locked in by telus that is....

Yeah the S3 is still a pretty good phone.
The only reason i like the S4 more is because pentile AMOLED always benefits from higher resolution and screen is the biggest drawback here IMO. So more resolution makes the S4 as must have. If the S3 had a 720p LCD instead, i would not mind.
You can also unlock it pretty easy.
A Smartphone is such an important, useful, and necessary tool for me that I have a very dynamic usage pattern. Always fine tuning my workflow, and as one who is addicted to trying most of the different phones, I would say it's a tie presently.
I have two favorites as primary phones, my Nexus 4 & my HTC One. The HTC mostly because I haven't used an HTC for a couple of years.
Next up is my Galaxy S4, for a variety of reasons, all rather small personal preferences. It's a very comfortable phone in-hand. Also as one who prefers not to use a case the ergonomics of the S4 have changed slightly over my S3, just enough to make the S4 a very comfortable phone to hold.
Speaking of ergo's the flat slab shape of my iPhone 5 is rather bad, however thank's to the Mophie Juice Pack Air I use, it's made the tiny iPhone feel much better. Now it just needs a decent sized display.
I'm a bit ambiguous about Windows Phone's still... but I will continue to remain open minded. Sometimes MS is very slow to get a project off the ground, yet they have staying power and usually get things sorted out at some point.

Two-step? Download power toggles and viola!....

Yeah I saw that feature, it is nice, but I still like just pulling down the default UI notification tab and having access there. Downloading an app for that, still makes it feel like a two step process, unless you can tack it onto the pull down menu some how... Otherwise you have to navigate to the page that it is on and then use the features.
That picture IS my pull down menu.....
You download power toggles, set up the toggles YOU want (can also change icons and colors - also gives you a battery life percentage in the top left of the status bar) and it all shows in you pull down menu like shown.
It's much nicer than the Samsung iteration IMO - the way Samsung does it seems extremely cluttered and overwhelming. With power toggles you have the freedom to customize as you want.
Cool! Thanks for the info! Always learning
No prob! Someone told me about it when I had my Nexus and I liked it so much I carried it over to the One. I feel like I made it match Sense 5 pretty closely
One is running different versions of various apps, than the one that's running the Play Store versions.
I currently carry a Droid DNA and Int'l Galaxy S3. After thinking for a while, I decided neither the HTC One or Galaxy S4 really interest me at all since they don't bring much to the table. I'm waiting to see what Google (next-generation Nexus) and Samsung (next-generation Note) have in store for the fall.
Galaxy Note II.
After seeing all the new smartphones released so far this year, I have no regrets with my purchase. Really enjoying this phone.

Must be a pain swapping the sim card. I notice one has no sim in the picture.
Just got a 32 gig Galaxy Nexus to use alongside my iPhone 5, but a day after I got the Nexus, someone offered me 250 so my iPhone 5. So now I'm just using the Nexus.
I actually have two sims (only one was installed at the time of this picture though). I use one for personal, one for business, and the 3rd Nexus I run various things on that I wouldn't want to try out on my daily driver device.
Perfect set of phones to have. You can choose which phone to use to fit in with other people around you. Lol
