Change of cell phone

I need your help fellow dopers!

I want to change my cell phone from a Blackberry to the Samsung Galaxy.

Now my questions is should I wait until the new Galaxy S4 comes out and pay full price or get a deal on the S3? Are the new features worth it?

Right now I have a BB Bold 9700 and I’m sick of it.

Thank you for your recommendations!

I was positively thrilled with my S3. When I got a chance to upgrade early to a Note II, I did, and as I use a phone mostly as a small tablet, it was a great move.

I don’t think the S4 brings a lot to the table unless you’re a complete latest’n’greatest junkie. I wouldn’t pay the premium launch prices for it. The S3 will likely make you berry, berry happy and will not be outdated in two years.

You might be in a great position to make the most cost-effective move you can - buy an S3 outright and negotiate the best non-contract plan you can get. You can save hundreds or even thousands over the life of a 2-year contract with a subsidized phone.

I went from a Blackberry Torch to the Galaxy Note II.

My Blackberry was going up and my tablet was too so the Note takes the place of both.

At first I missed the Blackberry but I’m really happy with the Note.
I’m glad I made the switch.
