I have never heard of Swappa actually. I looked at it and there's OK deals (of course cheaper than the stores) but because mine is up in late April, you do have mother's day deals pop up. Let's see a Note 3 for $300 vs. a deal for it for $50 tops at Verizon with re-upping...



I had a horrible android phone two years ago, too. The Motorola Droid 2. I went through about five phones with getting a new one and sending them back and everything. After the original droid it seemed like Motorola fell asleep at the wheel. I currently have the Samsung Galaxy III which rarely gave me problems other than some battery glitch that I don't have an issue with too often. Unlike previous phones though, I don't have the itch to dump it 12:00 AM on the day I can re-up. I'll update if there is a good deal on the phones.

I haven't done the iPhone as 1, I had Verizon and wasn't going to jump to AT&T just for a phone out of contract; 2, by the time it was on Verizon you had Android; 3, my brother had Android and the interfaces are more personalized than Apples which is set; and 4, they were way more expensive.
I've gone completely apple. I like how it all ties in. Yes, you can do that droids too. I like the interface. That's preference.

Those cheap Motorola phones were terrible. If I were to get a droid phone I'd look at the Galaxy III. I wish I could find the Motorola alert ringtone. The simple tone would be dandy.

Ive had apple whether it was two iPods as well as iTunes and actually still use iTunes mainly for podcast downloading. Music, I just use Samsung's music ap that came with the phone and media monkey to move the music over onto the phone. Apple has the tie in but I just am a Google guy rather than windows or Apple. I've tried Apple computers and rather stick to iOS rather than Mac OS.

The Galaxy S3? Note 3? Not sure which one you mean. The Note 4 and S5 are the current Samsung flagships.
