I thought the last update was great (wanted a swype keyboard), I love having a Nexus device and getting things first. My phone has never gotten an update in 2 years.

Jelly Bean is the operating system.

The Jelly Bean launcher will just give your phone the look of the Jelly Bean OS. And you'll need a Launcher like Tesla, GOEx or something like those for it to work.

Actually it is available for the S3 if you have Sprint. I've had it for a couple weeks now on Sprint. They were the first carrier to get Jelly Bean for the S3

I figured I'd put this in here, even though I am asking about a jelly bean phone, but...

I'm really into the Google Now feature, but am wondering how I can make it work even better. I don't understand if I need to add cards to it, or if they will just show up at some point when something happens that warrants one. Also, do I need to sync my google calendar with my outlook (main) calendar or will google now pull from my calendar so long as it my phone syncs with it?

Hey dudes,

I'm going to add a line to my plan to replace my Droid Bionic with a cracked screen. Any recommendations out there on a good device?

Love the HTC DNA I picked up. Lot of good options out there. Just go with Jelly Bean.

Hmmm I've heard some good things about this one so I might give it a go.

I started to go with an iphone but I keep shying away from it for some reason.

Thanks man!

Windows Phone all the way.

If you're hot on the iPhone go for it. Its easy to use and it works. If you want an advanced phone that does more and gives you more power out of your phone, so that you can take advantage of new technology, pick one of the android phones.

As far as windows phones, I don't have one but some of them are intriguing. Personally, I'd go windows before I bought an iPhone now.

Pretty much exactly what he said. Couldn't have said it better myself.
