Yeah, I was wary of a bigger screen because I didn't think I wanted the larger device in my pocket...this is why I was thinking I would get an iPhone when moving from my Incredible. However, now that I have the Nexus 4, I love having the extra screen real estate and it doesn't bother me in my pocket at all....and now the iPhone screen looks tiny.

I have the Motorola Electrify M and love it. It is the same as the RAZR M. This is my 5th Android phone and is my favorite by far. It still has a 4.3" screen yet is compact overall. Very comparable in overall size to say an iphone. So if you like being able to easily type with your thumb you can do it on this.

Also, with ICS you can disable apps you don't like (namely the bloatware the carriers put on) so that is a great feature.

Alright, just picked up a 'like new' Nexus for just under $200. Hopefully it's everything I've hoped for & more!!

The only complaint I've heard about it is possibly the battery life, but reviews are mixed on it. I'm coming from an Incredible, so I'm sure it'll be fine. Plus, $200 isn't bad at all.

Battery life is rough. I picked up an extended battery for mine. Great phone otherwise.

So I have the chance to get a droid maxx for 200. my contract is up in may and really wanting the Samsung III. So im not sure which is the better deal. The only downfall to the upgrade and the samsung is signing a contract. Not sure what I should do.

I like the note but I work in the construction industry and its rather large. Which would be hard to keep in my pocket.

I could see that. I barely notice it.

What do you like better about the note? Or should I say what was it about the SGIII that you didnt like?

I have the Droid Razr Maxx. I loved it at the start...right now I hate it. My apps close and freeze for no reason and its just not very fast. I'll probably wait if there is an S IV that comes out next year or so because I really don't like the limitations of an Apple phone.

how's the battery life on the DNA?

I'm a huge fan of the S3, but also love pretty much everything Samsung makes. The large size doesn't really bother me that much and it's crazy fast when in 4G land. The screen also is awesome when it comes to not scratching, which was a big problem with me when I had my previous phones. I've had it since August and it still looks brand new and runs great. Just did the Jelly Bean update the other day and it runs even better now.

It's the same "workday plus" battery life that many higher end phones have. Similar to the GSIII, Nexus 4, Optimus G and HTC One series. Obviously the Note and Razrs would crush the DNA in battery life comparisons based on the additional capacity out of the box. Much better than an Incredible, Galaxy Nexus or Thunderbolt if that's what you're upgrading from.
