I’m just going by what I read, I saw a spec breakdown on cnets website, and for what it had listed the rezound had better stats. I did check another site and you are right about the processor. The benchmarks are embarrassing for the rezound. I guess when my upgrade comes around I’ll either think about the 4G or the S3

Just like the launch of the Rezound…

Agreed, it’s intended as a midrange handset. By that standard, it’s one of the most capable midrange phones that has ever been built. Between the Inc 4G and the Rezound it sure seems like Verizon has been bungling HTC releases.

One issue is that with the GS3 bucking the trend of $299 prices on top tier phones, the Inc 4G will only have a $50 pricing advantage rather than a $150 pricing advantage it would normally have had, assuming of course that the $149 price is more than just rumor. That’s going to make the road much tougher.

The screen is better on the Rezound. Everything internally favors the Inc. Why are people so confused about this? Certainly not just you, but every time the Inc 4G is mentioned there is this misconception that the Rezound has “better” specs. I don’t get it. The cameras and RAM are negligible, and the slightly smaller battery in the Inc is more than offset by the less demanding screen and processor. The processor debate is not a debate, the S4 is markedly better than the S3. That’s not intended to slight the S3, which is more than capable, but the S4 is better period. Feel free to browse any of the three dozen benchmarks that show how far down the list the Rezound (and for that matter Nexus) has fallen in terms of raw power compared to the S4. NFC, the well received Sense 4.0, ICS at launch while the Rezound still waits, the list goes on and on.

The Rezound is still a solid phone. That beautiful screen trumps all the other things the Inc 4G has going for it in some peoples eyes, and at the brief $50 price it was enough of a steal to make a person feel guilty. I certainly understand that, but the Rezound is last years phone. The Inc 4G is this years phone with last years screen, something pretty typical of a midrange handset. Maybe it’ll make more sense when the asking price for the Inc 4G, rumored to be $149, is less than the current $199 price on the Rezound.

Again, this is not directed at you, I just keep reading this same thing in thread after thread.

I pre-ordered the SGS3 Today by phone. I’m also a retired Verizon Rep. If you pre-order, they must honor the order details, so even if the data plans change on, let’s say July 1st, and the phone ships July 9th, you keep your unlimited data, because your order is a binding contract.
Also if the Razr HD or Incredible 3 launch, you still have your 14 day satisfaction guarantee to return the SGS3 for another phone. The $70 restocking fee will almost always be waived if you bitch loud enough.

After pre-ordering a GS3 at 7:01 EDT this morning, I started seeing this date of the 28th start to pop up. Gotta love (hate?) how VErizon Rep’s are left to their own devices when such things pop up. Of the 3 calls I made about it, the “party line” seems to be that pre-orderrs will be shipped when stores are being shipped theirs.
When asked to reconcile the “by July 9th” with the June 28th date? “Our legal staff had anticipated a challenge by Apple and thus added an extra week to our ship by date”. O.o Getting this same line from 2 of the 3 call centers doesn’t make it true but I found it humorous that only Verizon would take their usual slow path to release and blame what their legal staff saw in their crystal ball. I love Verizon network but their business practices and creative abuse of the truth make me nauseous.

I spoke with 2 different Verizon representatives by phone today. Neither had ever heard of this phone. LOL. Called a local Verizon store. They tested a demo of the phone but that was all. No release date in sight per that store. Called another Verizon store. They had never heard of this phone. Sad lot of employess there. Sad lot. If they worked at McDonalds, would they know what the McChicken Sandwich was!?

I pre ordered the galaxy s3 today from verizon the guy told me the latest we would have it would be july 5th or 6th but he said its VERY possible to get it at the end of the month.The guy told me if I upgrade after the shared data plan goes into effect then everybody on my account who has a smartphone will lose the unlimited data.. So now, I gotta tell my bf he won’t be able to get the new iphone when it comes out unless he pays full retail price…. I wouldn’t be able to afford a smartphone if we were on a shared data plan bc he uses about 7gb a month!!!!

Motorola is probably waiting on the S3 hype/launch to get passed… and Verizon may be trying to not cannibalize the S3 sales…
