Tough call.  The new Evo looks really nice.  Won't really be able to say for sure until the Evo 4G LTE comes out and gets some user reviews. 
They are all very close, it mostly comes down to personal taste.

I desperately need a new phone (still using the original Droid).  Was waiting to see what the Samsung S3 would bring.  Nice phone but since the quality of the camera doesn't really matter to me, I cannot see the big deal between it and the Galaxy Nexus.  Plus Galaxy Nexus is pure Android.  I can get the Galaxy Nexus for $150 versus $300 for an S3 (when it hits).  That $150 difference would go a long ways toward any ETF if something earth shattering comes along in the next 18 months.

I get know there are specification differences between the phones, but I cannot find one that I think that will produce more than a marginal advantage.

Is my logic flawed?

Thanks for sharing all your insights on this board.

The screen is the big improvement with the S3 vs the Nexus.  The processor is not as big of an improvement as I, and many others, were hoping for but it's still an improvement.
The new S3 is supposed to have a bigger battery as well, which has been a complaint amongst some with the Nexus.
Overall, they're both pretty good.  If you enjoy the display on the Nexus, you probably won't notice the improvements on the S3.  I'll be sticking with my S2 likely through out the rest of my contract and skipping this generation of devices.  Nothing against them, but they aren't that much of an improvement.

Despite their better plan prices do you see the uncertain date and availability of Sprints 4GLTE network as a reason to go with Verizon or AT&T? Or is it worth it to be patient with Sprint? This is assuming coming off contract in June 2012 and being a free agent.

If you are wanting LTE for Sprint and don't live in a major city, you may be waiting a year or more for LTE.
You should do a little search as to if your city is on Sprint's LTE roll out plan.

Anyone know anything/used a Motorola Photon? Looking to use for basic calling/texting, surfing the web and whatever apps are good. Compared to an Iphone 4s how is it? I have an upgrade so its going to be 30 bucks compared to the 199 for the iphone.

Not great, by comparison to what's out there right now.  I'm not sure I'd want to get stuck with it for 2 more years, especially with the increased cost of early termination fees.
The phone is passable for what you are looking to do, but it does have its shortcomings.  The screen doesn't look great when compared to the other newer devices out there right now.  The processor is also starting to show its age as well (Tegra 2 is over 18 months old).

I poked around on Cydia after breaking the Wife's iPhone 4S. Did I expect anything less from Apple than a bland rooted store and overpriced apps?

Jailbroke my iPod this past weekend.  Cydia was a complete disappointment.

Update on the RAZR Maxx.  Overall I am happy with the phone now that I have learned to use it.  However the camera sucks.  It works well in consistent lighting, but frequently the pictures have dark subjects and bright backgrounds.  Ditto for the video.   I think I will test some apps to fix this.

A little off topic but bears mentioning.  Someone one in the LR (I think it was here anyway) recommended Foxfi (Free Hotspot) for Android.  Whoever that was, Thanks!
