Apparently the specs aren't note worthy by any means.

The specs of the mini are underwhelming. If you want the smaller phone, get an iPhone
The mini can't touch the iPhone.
Just a FYI btw, the iPhone has beaten the s3 in speed comparison tests even though the s3 boasts more power. That has always happened though. The iPhone's practical speed has always been more impressive than android.

iPhone 4s has a 3.5 in screen. The 5 has a 4 inch.
New rumors for LG Nexus suck. No LTE and GSM only.

Honestly, I usually only upgrade every other year and I got a Galaxy Nexus in November... so I doubt I will even bother worrying about it.

Yea, I was up for an upgrade last December and nothing so far has caught my attention until I heard about Google's 5 year anniversary rumor for its Nexus line. Several Nexus phones from different OEMs, yada yada yada...
So far only the LG is being leaked and I hope the initial rumor was correct.
I was looking forward to finally using my upgrade.

I got my upgrade coming up in about 3 weeks or so.
Why would Samsung crap on the S3 mini? Dumb

Technically, the 5 year anniversary will be next year (because the G1 wasn't a Nexus).

Because no one (except Apple, Motorola, and Sony) is making a decent sub 4.3 inch phone.

Hmm, maybe it's just phone then. I just assumed they were all Nexus'. Either way, all the rumors stated as 4th qtr this year for that multi-device launch to occur.
We shall see!

I just put jelly bean on my kindle fire and I'm loving it so far. I didn't hate the stock set up, but the expanded control is nice. The stock os would be fine for someone like my mom or sister

Apple does a great job of optimizing their processor around their OS. With Android its trying to force it, where you are just running the OS on top of the processor, not really integrating it. But that is why the nexus and android work so well together. Google works with the processor.

I'm not going to lie... the rumors of wireless charging on the new Nexus sound interesting. Especially since I've had problems with the charging ports in the past. (Mainly my sons stuffing chewed up food/paper/whatever in them :queue sad face:)

LG makes horrible phones, so I can't buy anything of theirs. I'm just disappointed. I would have got the S3 mini if the specs were up to par. I got to get my hands on an actual S3 and it's just way to big for me. I'm certainly not happy the new Nexus was an LG phone. If it was Samsung I probably would have hopped onto that.
Unfortunately I'm probably leaning toward the iPhone at this point, which makes me sad.

Well, I'd wait at least til the 29th (some tech conference) when announcements of new phones will be made.
LG is the one that will probably be announced. Others are HTC's 5" Nexus and a Galaxy Nexus 2 from Samsung.
So if it's a Samsung you want, you just might be able to get one.

I'm not grabbing my new phone until December so there's still plenty of time for me to change my mind and I would prefer to get an Android phone.

It is, but in terms of phone life a year is fairly old. Most people get new phones every 2 years.
