Should I buy a samsung galaxy 3 now or wait?

Alright so I have some cash to spend I'm in need of a new phone as my current phone is complete crap. Being complete honest though I don't really text anyone except my current gf(I'm a terrible texter), so the phone isn't exactly 100% needed however I will buying it off amazon unlocked so I can connect it to my current company. So should I wait until black friday or cyber monday in hopes of getting a good discount?

Side Note I won't go to ebay for phones as I've seen a lot "methods" pop up showing how easy it is to scam through ebay.

Edit: Or if possible can someone recommend a better phone?

I second this, fantastic specs at this price point

alternatively, there are rumored android phones coming out early 2014 with finger print scanners

[quote=drager260]Why not get the Nexus 5? Releases next week with android 4.4(KitKat) and will be $300-$400 unlocked. Has very similar specs to the note 3, just lacking in screen size, MP in camera and 1GB less RAM. But you won't even realize those differences except for the screen size. But yeah it'll have android 4.4 and get updated the quickest when the next update is available and the note 3 won't have 4.4 until the summer.

Do you need a phone now? If so, buy it. If not, hold off until Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Get the LG G2. It looks freakin' awesome.
I don't own a smartphone, but I was looking at and comparing the:
Samsung GS4
Samsung Galaxy Note 3
LG G2
HTC One
iPhone 5S
Nokia Lumia 925/928/1020
Droid Maxx
Motorola Moto X
and the LG G2 was definitely the most impressive.

I have a Galaxy S3 since February and so far so good, I still don't want to get the S4 but I would like that Galaxy Gear, looks cool and I read will be compatible with S3 eventually.
