If you wanted to buy a different sprint phone today without committing to a new contract, I would argue that there is no phone better at this price point. The fact that this phone can be purchased used on craigslist for $100, rooted and rommed up with just a minimal amount of hassles is mindboggling. If someone can show me a better deal please do.
I consider that the Evo 3D with ICS is a better phone than S3(which is a crappy copy of iPhone)

You're joking, right?
1) Out of nowhere you compared the two phones.
2) The galaxy s3 is better than the evo 3d. What you said is like saying the Xbox 360 is better than the ps4. The ps4 will come out later with next Gen hardware. The galaxy s3 will come out later with next Gen hardware.
3) The s3 is a copy of the iPhone? Is that a joke? Just because they have a hardware home button doesn't suddenly make them iPhone clones. Other than that, they are probably the complete opposite of iPhones.

that might be a tad strong, but i just think if you don't already have a 3d, and are already on sprint, its a great alternative to using an upgrade. ( Can we PLEASE not mention that other phone for a while? It tends to make people angry and gets threads closed. Thank you)

Have to agree, a very fine phone at a good price, most of the time those go for about $250 in my area. I would say you will be good for a while with that phone.

IMHO Samsung makes great appliances(home electronics, washers, dryers, etc.) Their cellular phones don't do anything for me and as a previous user stated, the build quality is less than impressive. The screens always have that weird hue to them prolly due to AMOLED which i dont find appealing. And the samsung phones i've played with or friends that have them seem to have lots of issues with signal retention. Lets not forget the countless GPS problems that have been complained about on many occasions.

I'd say evo lte or galaxy s2/3 Samsung flagship phones. Galaxys2/3 are bad ass and flat out fast. I have zero issues with my galaxy s2. GPS is perfect. I love it. Most people who have issues with android cause they don't understand how to operate them.

I think the s3 and evolte will be better but until the network is up and running it's a bit of a negative.

dood, phone has been discontinued by tmo, it's not got much life in it. I just happens to be one of the 2 soon to be 3 available hspa+ 42mbps devices! once the s drops you can expect more price drops on the Amaze.
The phone may be going EOL but it's probably their best phone and is still comparable to the new One S. Also those ads are completely one sided, note that they are using an iPhone for Sprint which is only a 3G phone. I used to be on Sprint before switching to T-Mobile and their 4G service was decently quick... if you could get it.

My friend up here has an EVO3D and never switches 4G ON. I asked him why and he said "by the time it even connects or finds 4G signal, the web pages could already have been loaded on 3G"

That would only be the case if you switch it on to check one page then shut it back off again. It does take about 30 seconds or so to connect to 4g, much like it does to connect to WiFi. Personally that sounds like a dumb excuse to not use 4g. We don't have 4g here but if we did, I'd likely leave it on all the time since my phone is near a charger all day anyways.

I am very interested in it, Asus is one of my favorite companys specially for gaming, i love their ROG series. i have the Asus G74 laptop right now and plan on getting the Asus Tytan.
Note that its never good to get any phone when its just released. i wait a few months for all the problems (if it has any) to be fixed and development to start and prices to drop. while the samsung galaxy ii already been out for quite a while.
according to this site it wont be too much more than the one s: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Asus...mer-Pad-300-Get-Priced-in-Europe-264743.shtml
only $15 more for just the phone. i will wait till the price is around $400 on ebay then ill buy it in a heartbeat
edit: look at their website now. they updated the information about it. http://www.asus.com/Mobile/PadFone/ you can get 102 hours of battery from padfone (the phone), the station (tablet), and the station dock (keyboard). they all use the hardware of the padfone (cpu/gpu/ram/camera), but they all have their own battery. also its all one data package (from the phone). this is going to get huge IMO.
the camera should be better than the amaze as well, has the same aperture, but a better lense made my asus.

haha, i'm still a little sore about that damn instinct as well. I couldn't wait to get rid of that pos and swore never a samsung again. But, then the nexus s came to sprint and I thought it would be different because it was a reference device, but the radios were complete garbage. That is pretty much why I pulled the trigger on the evo and snubbed the sIII. It does look nice and I'm sure most of them wont catch fire, but I just couldn't buy another samsung.
**** happens. Although, I prefer HTC myself as well -- my experiences have been mostly good with Samsung devices. I had The NS4G, E4GT and still have the GT 10.1 (SOURCE PLS, SO WE CAN HAVE WORKING CAMERAS ON ICS!).

We reactivated mine for my 6 year old sister for emergencies only. I tried playing with it...had to like stab the screen to get it to work at all. Dumbphone is smartphone clothing.
All the Samsucky fan boys have already up in arms w Endgaget because of the review and now this ! Oh boy some people must have bursted into flames at home.
After owning a Samsung Epix for about 3 months, and subsequently smashing it with a sledge hammer out of rage, I will NEVER buy another Samsuck device again.
The OG Epic ruined it for me. First and last samsung device unless they pull out a miracle piece of hardware that HTC doesn't. Same with LG, I'll never buy their garbage again after my wife went through 6 Optimus S's until we finally gave up, I bought the LTE and gave her my Photon.
Thinking about trading my EVO in for a Samsung Galaxy S3 before my 30 days is up. My past 3 phones were made by HTC. LOVED them all. Only Samsung phone I ever owned was the Instinct. Garbage...I love this phone but can't stand the signal dropping in and out all the time and the proximity sensor only works less than half the time. 1 more gig of ram wouldn't hurt either.

I had a chance to play with the new galaxy. I used to have the first epic, then the epic touch. Honestly, New tw4 is awful to me, makes ics way ugly and bloated. Sense is pretty good, other than multitasking. Personally, I wouldn't get the new gs3 unless there was a way stable cm9 for it.
Yes, I know that with source it is very much possible, but, just like with gs2, there's no real profile and prl update option. I've noticed that over time, network performance degrades big time when compared to other devices.

Well my good friend just came over to show off & compare his New GSIII to my EvoLTE. Well let me know after coming from the E4GT this phone looks & feels almost identical. It is bigger than the EvoLTE but it is lighter & thinner which makes it extremely hard to hold comfortably & safely IMO. The screen doesn't even come close to the Evo. The colors are way over saturated and it has a bluish tint to it. TouchWiz is back & ugly as hell. It does open apps and switch between screens with no noticeable lag which is a plus cause the Evo has been laggy for me at times. Overall Im happy with my decision to get the Evo. Think I'll pass on GSIII and maybe go with the Note 2 if Sprint gets it.

I hear people talking about the S3 like some new god of a phone, but I honestly prefer HTC, with Sense. The hardware and benchmarks are so similar, you really have to look at the devices and see what you personally prefer for the experience of the phone. I prefer the style of the phone to the G S3, and the extras like the dedicated photo key, which I use a lot, and the kickstand, which I actually use a lot as well. Don't forget the SLCD2, too.

Touchjizz and the GS3 look like a redeveloped iFail to me.
I agree that the G3 isn't that great, but for most people who aren't exactly super picky like us, will suck up the fact that touchwiz is god awful ugly and use the phone. Much like the iPhone, Samsung is doing a lovely job with the bandwagon advertising. People think the phone is god, people will buy said phone pretending all flaws do not exist.
I guess everyone's opinion will be different. I'm sure I would still prefer the EVO over the S3 myself, if given a choice...I just find it interesting how the screen on the Galaxy phones are always said to be color inaccurate and not as good as the LCDs on phones. I say this because OLED TVs are supposed to be the next big thing with the most accurate color reproduction of any TV to date, plus a sharper picture and best contrast ratio. And they will be damn expensive when they hit the market. I'm guessing there must be some kind of difference between the phone and TV version of the screens.

Well for the phones aleast amoled screens are colorful but not crystal clear like LCD screens . Side by side the picture looks better on the e v o screen using the same pictures it don't look bad just not as clear.

Yeah, it seems like everyone has said that when comparing them side by side... It's just strange when OLED is supposed to be the 'superior' technology. Maybe it's just a phone thing... on a side note, though, my next TV will definitely be a Sony and not a Samsung. Had problems with every Samsung we've had, and absolutely zero with every Sony.
Thanks, I feel better for sticking with my EVO LTE.
I'm wondering if people who own the GS3 are also having the same issues with text and calls not going through as well as connectivity issues some EVOLTE users are experiencing. If so, we would be able to narrow down these issues directly to Sprints network instead of blaming the phone.

I never really liked Samsung devices, but I was gonna get the nexus until I heard the Evo LTE was coming so I waited, and I was worth it. The only thing i liked about the GIII is the pop up videos and I got that through an app

Spring is preparing the towers for lte it's everywhere every phone is having that issue . I lost connection for a day and i just found out that alot of prepaid phones use Sprint towers my friends had vigin mobile and boost mobile and they had lost connection the entire day too. They fixed it for two hours then lost connection. We all at work thinking the world is ending lol. Sprint is giving me credit on my bill for that issue and anyone who calls in will to, i mean no data or signal or nothing but thankfully lte is up just not turned on because they said to me our town has to wait it's turn.

Also an EVO user (still use as WiFi device) and I recognize you from those forums. I highly recommend this device! Gave up my Nexus 5 for it and absolutely no regrets. IMHO, the best device currently available.

Hey thanks for recognizing.. lol. Well in all honesty I really believe all the hype about the G3, but I'm also considering the M8 cause it's closer to what I'm accustomed to. I guess I'm just hesitant to move on to something different. Also I'm concerned about the reported lag and heating up on the G3...

I still like my HTC One M8 more but I've always been an HTC fan myself
Like someone mentioned above, I was a long-time Galaxy S fan. I had every one from the Fascinate to the S4. My first LG phone was the G2, which I got on a whim because my S4 broke. Let's just say I loved the G2 so much that I HAD to get the G3.
The only downer for me is that there is no root yet, but of course that will come with time. The problems you mentioned above, I don't experience myself, but root will fix a lot of it. The dev in charge is going through some life problems atm, so we have to wait. I am definitely patient though. It's like waiting for Christmas!

Personally, I have zero heat issues but I don't game other than solitare. As far as lag goes, I'm still in disbelief because I have not experienced that either. Enable dev options, set animations to .5. I had used Nova for a week and then switched back to stock. In my opinion, lag is a myth. Possibly on the 16/2 models it may exist but this is much faster than my Nexus was.
Thanks for the feedback guys.. much appreciated. I'll let you know if I get it. (Most likely I will). Oh, another thing, is it safe to buy from either Amazon or bestbuy? Only cost 100$..

I'm actually an avid gamer. My phone gets a little warm after a while, but not warmer than what I'd expect from a 2.5ghz, 3GB RAM beast lol it's not like super hot though, like people have been saying. I have even played while the phone is charging. It doesn't get extremely hot at all. The quad HD display is absolutely beautiful for gaming and even videos, too.

I'd say it would be OK. Is it $100 with renewal of contract?

$100 with 2 year extension..

That's really up to you then. I personally hate renewing contracts lol, but I'm guessing you'll probably have to do the same for the M8?

I know this would probably require root or something but I'm curious to know if there's a way to force the G3 to stay on LTE signal??

I got mine for $100 on contract from Best Buy. No problems. It was the price that drew me in. It's pretty much impulse buy territory. I have 5 lines on the ED1500 family plan and Framily would actually cost me significantly more because everyone on the plan is a high data user. So to me, if I'm happy with the service and don't plan on leaving, what sense does it make to switch to a more expensive plan where I pay the full price of the phone over 24 installments when I can get it subsidized and only pay $100 once.
Also, my co-worker and fiance had Evo LTEs. I guess our area has a lot of band 41 and Sprint Spark flies. I have seen upwards of 70 Mbps. I get +50 Mbps at my desk at work in Addison, Texas. After seeing my speed tests my co-worker picked up a G3 at lunch one day and has been blown away. He would previously get less than 1 Mbps with his Evo LTE at work. The best part is shutting up all the Sprint haters when we compare speed test results. AT&T, lucky to get over 15 Mbps. Verizon, 8-10 Mbps. T-Mobile is nigh unusable. I used to be embarrassed, but now I can see where Sprint's network vision investment with my own eyes and it's glorious.
I want to pull the trigger on the G3 but for some reason I keep pondering the M8... Damn! Getting a new phone is like buying a house...lol! But I'm almost certain that I can't go wrong with either phone.. It's just a tough decision... Could use some more feedback from those that have used both..thanks!

You could force LTE (not sure exactly how to do it, but it would likely require the right dialer code and the MSL) but you wouldn't be able to get phone calls since there's no VoLTE

I still can't for the life of me understand all the m8 hype. I've seen so many blogs and posts about the "premium build".... Just because it's a metal shell does not mean premium, or great build quality in my book. I was pretty unimpressed when I actually tested one out. It's like a tin can wrapped around a piece of glass. To me the build quality was crap the way the shell wraps the glass bezel. This is in the g3 forum so I don't feel bad dissing the m8

Your opinion is respected but I'm more concerned with how the phones actually work. And I've heard that the M8 is probably the smoothest out there.. and I'm very use to HTC phones so that's why I'm maybe still considering it. But the G3 looks a beast, no doubt about that..

So far I've been very pleased with the LG g3. I've had zero issues. Performance for me has been great. The screen looks fantastic and battery life has been outstanding. You have the ability to remove most of the bloat, and the camera is excellent. Build quality is nice and solid, and I liked the striped down ui. 5.5 screen is really easily handled as well by design.
The last few years I've had HTC and Samsung so LG is a welcomed change ?

So here are phones... Hero, evo 3d and the evo LTE. As you can see it was HTC all the way. Got this phone 3 weeks ago, picked up my evo twice and think ugh, so small and slow........why am I even?! I've now seen you and a small handful of us from the LTE. Usually don't say much, just listen so to speak and I would not go back, get the m8 or any device besides this. It's like the power of 3 lte's and has a great camera.
Not my say in it, but I have not regretted it at all! :beer:
