I'm such a nexus nerd, but my International Galaxy S III is just killing first and asking names later. I might geat the international Note II

On my new Note 2 now. Haven't been able to put it down since I got it two days ago. Amazing device. Android has blown me away. Im an iOS convert.

Why does it matter how well the GS3 sells? Just get the device you like most. I'm not buying anything but Nexus from now on, and I don't care how flashy they make the new phones. The Nexus experience and the 2 years upgrades, plus the very low price make it worth a lot more to me.

The Nexus is super attractive, except for the glaring lack of LTE. I'm currently on a SIII rooted with AOKP Jelly Bean ROM and I'm loving it. I can't believe how fast it is, not to mentioned the high level of customization available. The Samsung ROM was just too bloated and felt sluggish. Jelly Bean has definitely won me over!

  Just curious, but which applications' experiences do you find to be improved enough by LTE to offset the hit to the battery life?

It's weird how with all the adulation over the GSIII, no one dings the screen. The quality hit is pretty noticeable in an AT&T store. I wandered back and forth from iPhone, Lumia, etc, and had also checked out the RAZR HD earlier that day -- which has the same subpar sparkle-grains display. This is one of the cynical things that makes me wonder if sites ever actually have time to review new devices. Their "one job" should be to see through the marketing-speak ("Super AMOLED", "IPS", "retina display") and tell us what A) looks better, and B) uses less power at a given nits. I've had an iPhone 4 for 2 years now, and can't really stomach going to one of those poorer screens. The Optimus G is beautiful, and that's why I'm going to snag a Nexus.

  I have a buddy who has an international Galaxy Note II, and for what it's worth, I think the screen looks magnificent compared to the screen of the Nexus 7, which isn't half bad (my phone is a Nexus S 4G, so the comparison is moot).

    You're right, the Note II in store was pretty good, but with its size the density was slightly less pleasant. I think that'll be more of a personal preference thing.
