Galaxy S3 Watering Hole

Thanks. Glad your reception is good and your 4G works well. My home is in a 3G only area & surrounded by trees/woods. I'm just so reluctant to buy a phone I can't talk on, but the SG3 seems to be the best.

Where you live is going to play a huge role in how your reception is. I think most of us have had good reception with the GS3 but that may not apply to your service area.

My best advice is to be honest about reception when you get the phone... i.e. put it through its paces when you first get it and if it doesn't meet your needs return ASAP. Don't wait til your past your return window to decide it won't work for you.

It is rather a superb phone in its own right. I've thrown a massive amounts of apps on it and customized it up the yazoo (as much as one can on a stock ROM) and it's still blisteringly fast.

If reception is a major issue for you (and may the great gods of the S3 strike me down) you may want to look at a Motorola. I hear tell that they have the best radios you can currently get. My brother in law has a Razr-Maxx and he loves it.

Gotta run for a few.... Don't think I could eat a part of the cow that could taste me back, but I'm always up for new things.... (except chitterlings ~or as Granny would say ... Chitlens.... now that's where I draw the line !)

Trust me, it tastes simply wonderful. I understand where you're coming from though. There are folk out there who believe in wasting nothing on an animal. I draw the line somewhere, although mentioning where may get a red censor in here in double quick time.

Where is Early anyway? Sure he's lurking somewhere.
