What're the prospects looking like for the best Sprint phone between now and October?
Galaxy S3 is already out on Sprint. Other than that, I have no idea. New Nexus device may launch in November though.

I doubt a new Nexus device would be so much better than the Galaxy S3. Judging by experiences it's going to be very similar at best.
Technically they could pack a Cortex A15 quad core at that time but chances are very slim.
If you like CM then I suppose the S3 is going to get supported for at least as long as the Galaxy Nexus will be officially supported.
Might have to do the S3 then. We'll see. I don't think internal space matters too much. Have they done away with the SD cards in newer devices?
Good deal. Does anyone here actually have an S3? Haven't really been keeping up with this thread too often.
Cool. CM10 doesn't have nightlies yet, does it? Seems like I've been on CM9 nightlies on my TouchPad for forever now.
I dislike facebook integration so much. I didn't uninstall the Facebook app on my phone just because I tend to check my messages once in a while. Also even if I threw it out there would be processes left because its integrated deeper in the UI :-(
Seriously, the Facebook app shouldn't come preinstalled and there should be no further integration.
The app keeps turning on by itself. It eats up CPU power and RAM.
There are some CM10 nightlies, but only for a handful of devices.
I know we shat on quad core devices because of how impractical they could, theoretically, be, but now that I'm actually in the market for a phone,
We didn't shit on quad core devices per se. We shat on quad core chips vs more efficient dual and single cores. This doesn't change the fact that the SGS3 is one of the fastest devices out there.
Anyway, most American SGS3 devices have a dual core Snapdragon S4. Both chips are very fast, the dual core S4 is better for singlethreaded apps thanks to much higher performance per core, the quad core Exynos is faster for multithreaded ones (there are only a couple of those yet) but also packs a significantly faster GPU.
