Well I did it..

Congrats Shadez!!! Hope you have better luck than I did. Reception was about as equally bad as the G'Nex for me. And battery life was miserable. Even if those weren't factors I just didn't like the feel of it in my hand. Bottom buttons were awkward to reach one-handed. Surprised you didn't go for a Maxx.

Thanks Gar... and I need a removeable battery. Pet peeve if you will. I considered it, but then the HD will be out and so on... just thought it was time to try something new. I'm sure I'll be back to Motorola at some point down the road..

And yea I've seen the complaints about signal strength etc, and just hoping I don't run into that..

I will tell you this. When I was in and around Philly with my G'Nex I had pretty good reception. Seemed like the only place though. You are pretty close to the city right???

Yep just outside.. fingers crossed lol

I just got 4G where I live, yet I still drive through fringe and no coverage areas when going to work. While the Maxx was definitely the best phone I ever had through these areas the SIII is a very close second. The Maxx was definitely better but only by a small margin. I will never again get a phone with a sealed battery. Even though the Maxx lasted very long it took forever to charge. Nothing like being able to stick an extra battery in your pocket. From now on only phones with an sd card and removable battery for me unless I have no other choice. By the way, NFL mobile looks spectacular on this handset. I pay the five dollars a month for premium access and it's fantastic watching RedZone and the Sun, Mon and Thur night games. Also if you like romming I have to recommend Liquid for AOSP and Scotts CleanRom for Touchwiz. Keep us posted what you think!

GOBEARS!

I have no reception issues and by far the best battery life of any smartphone I've had, and I'm a moderate to heavy user who is very critical of everything

I'm curious.... after you hated the s3 so bad....What phone have you chosen to use instead?

I'm still curious
