    It has a traditional removable metal battery. Huge plus, IMO. You can get extended and/or carry a spare. You can pull it to reset the phone if it hangs up -- even in rooting and flashing processes. An aging plastic bag battery won't depress the resale value when that time comes. BIG advantage over all RAZRs and ONEs -- IMO.

    Two questions:
    Any official word if Sprint's version will have the 64GB SD card? And...
    Does the SGSIII support mp3 ringtones?

    Did I miss something, Steve?
    Sprint doesn't have unlimited data any more?

    I'm picking at you but Sprint does throttle. Unless you are having problems (signal, speed), you're probably better off where you're at. I don't know if they use same method as Verizon (tower based) or if its consumption based only.

    Yeah. Love-hate relationship and all that... for now, I'd rather keep her. But I'm getting very unhappy about disappearing features on good handsets.

    SD support is the issue. If the vzw SGSIII has both gigs of RAM, the 64gig SD & mp3 ringtones it just maybe might be worth re-upping for...

    Over 22GB's in month says they don't. Their advertising says they don't.

    A Sprint spokesperson this week confirmed the company will continue selling “unlimited data” service on their forthcoming LTE 4G network.

    Sprint’s Nichole Cappitelli told TechHog the carrier plans to extend unlimited access, with no speed throttling, to those buying Sprint’s first LTE phone, the Viper 4G.

    Sprint begins accepting pre-orders for the LG phone April 12, with an anticipated shipping date by the end of the month.

    Sprint’s 4G LTE network, still under construction, will provide improved 4G speed and value for customers looking for some savings over AT&T and Verizon Wireless. Sprint currently delivers slower 4G WiMAX service from its partner Clearwire.

    The Viper 4G phone will sell for $100 with a 2-year contract and $50 mail-in rebate. With Sprint’s Everything plan, $80 will buy you unlimited mobile data, texting, and calling. A similar plan from Verizon that only includes 2GB of mobile data is priced $40 higher.

    Until July 22, Sprint will bundle 50GB of free cloud storage and sharing from Box, available from the Google Play app store.

    Sprint is America’s only national mobile phone company offering unlimited and unthrottled data plans.

    They'll probably have all the containers nuked at the docks!

    No, the reason the EVO was held up was because HTC was found to be infringing on one of Apple's patents. HTC has nothing to do with the Samsung Galaxy S III.

    Sprint website lists the 32gb SIII as coming with a 32gb sd card, doesn't say if it supports 64gb or not.

    Vzw now says 64GB on its pre-order page. Doubt Sprint is different.

    Now, I'd love to know if anyone can install and use a homemade mp3 ringtone on any SGSIII model.
