nexus (old one) for 0$ or galaxy s3 for 100$- which would be the better of the 2?
I was waitin for the new nexus but its already almost november and im desperate for a phone.. not sure i can wait much longer- i have less than 1 month left. And the new nexus phone when it does come out will be 200$ so add the price into that as well. which would u choose?

I don't think the S3 is worth an extra $100, but YMMV.

The S3 pros are a slightly better camera, slightly better battery, and expandable memory.

The cons are $100 more out of pocket, slower OS upgrade schedule, TouchWiz instead of pure Android, and half the onboard flash memory.

An extra battery will be essential either way and can be had for $20 or so.

I'd take the s3 because I don't like carrying extra batteries around.

Then again, I 'd probably wait a bit more for the Nexus 4 which should be announced next week.

but u think an extra 200$ is worth to wait for the new nexus? (compared to the old one, not s3)

that will be 200$ at least- is it worth it?

+1 if the battery is improved I would pay the extra money. By the way you can get the Galaxy s3 for 149.

The new Nexus specs (LG) have been leaked. They seem to be everywhere. only 8gb onboard memory with no SD slot :(

The note 2 has been announced for Verizon but not shipping for another month. I may still hold out for it, quad core and all day battery are good enough reason for me.

 And a non removable battery maybe. 

 Here's hoping there will be more than 1 version.

Manual was leaked, it's coming in 8 and 16 GB with no expansion slot. Still too small :(

How bad are the razor phones?

Truth is, for a dual core processor, I can get the gs3...
