I was one of the many people who pre ordered the amazing new Samsung Galaxy S3 phone. With the 4G capabilities and coming out of the box with the next Android operating system on it...ice cream sandwich, I was in full anticipation of the phone's arrival! I skipped a couple of the new phones when they came out to stay with the Motorola Electrify. I love a lot of the Moto features but this new phone has some new and fun features that enticed me to order it. I even cashed in some belief points to push my upgrade date up.
The first few days with my SGlll it wasn't love at first sight....ok it WAS love at first sight...this phone is sleek, thin, lightweight, and beautiful.......but it wasn't love at first use. My Moto had some things that I wasn't sure I was ready to give up. One was being able to go directly to my advanced photo editing apps or make a pic a profile pic for Facebook & Twitter, from the photo itself. After a few days on the SGlll I decided I could live with the fact that I need to open my apps then choose the pictures I wanted to edit. And I have to admit...the camera on the SGlll takes better pictures than the Electrify.
One of the biggies for me was the email presentation for hotmail.....it was not user friendly at all....but I found away around that too....bookmarked the desktop version.....
There were some other things too but I already forgot. Every new phone and change of brands has a learning curve......this SGlll just has so many cool things about it that were not on my other phones the learning curve was just a little bigger I guess. The first few days I kept going back to my moto......now Im doing so less and less....I AM falling in love with this phone just as I figured I would. Thanks to the few I vented to about it early on....now Im convinced I love more than I miss on the phone.
Some of the great things are with ICS I can now use Chrome for my browser, which syncs with my laptop version. The internet is now more like my laptop. I love the "swipe of the hand" screenshot feature....the fact that if I am reading a page the screen won't time out because the phone uses its front camera to know when you are looking at it!
I don't think its a lot faster than the Electrify but it will be when 4G hits here (which will be soon) and I have to admit.....it is a good thing US Cellular gives its customers that 15 day window to return phones. If I had only had two or three days....it would have gone back....now I highly doubt it!!!!
So the moral of the story is......this old dog can learn new tricks and will enjoy her new white phone with its pretty cases. (still may go to the store and check out the blue SGlll though...) and Motorola, I hope you have a great new phone on the horizon for later......
once again, a happy and proud member of the customer crew signing off. (now where did I put that SGll at)
