AT&T phones with LTE, also have the HSPA and GSM bands to get data roaming most anywhere in the world (same as the Nexus 4), so this is not a valid argument. Yes, an AT&T phone won't get LTE while abroad, but neither will the Nexus 4.
Your other points about LTE are mostly valid. HSPA is fast enough for most things, and if LTE is not even available in your area, I can certainly see the allure of the Nexus platform (although I personally hate LG hardware).
Also, LTE is not always a battery killer. I get around 2 days (48 hours) of battery on a single charge with my One X while on LTE.

I was wanting to get the S3, but was hoping the Jelly Bean would be ready by now. It should not take this long for a roll out. Android should be pushed out to devices like iOS and everyone gets it at the same time. For now will have to continue to wait....and wait.....and wait...oh my.

I so agree. AT&T needs to update SGH-1747 to Jelly Bean so do it fast. Why wait unitl Jan 2013? Stupid .

Besides, I believe the European version of the GS3 has completely different hardware, meaning its not remotely the same firmware.
Correct. The international version of the S3 is equipped with a quad core Exynos processor, while the U.S./Canadian versions are equipped with a dual core Snapdragon Krait processor. The two versions also have different GPUs.

That's not entirely accurate. Not only does the overwhelming majority of the world not have LTE at all, but pretty much all carriers who DO have LTE utilize different frequencies. This is not limited to AT&T.

The thoughts of LTE being a battery killer are lingering from devices mostly from 2011, the iPhone 5 being an exception to this. I use a Galaxy Note and a Galaxy S III on AT&T and think that the battery life is fine. I can easily get through a day of normal use on both of those phones. I charge overnight anyway, so getting longer than a day is not something that I routinely try to do.

I have Galaxy Nexus that I kept after switching to the S3, mainly to avoid having to wait several months for OS updates. The phone hasn't seen much use after I got the S3, but I recently brought it along on an overseas vacation. Although the GNex comes with a smaller battery than the S3 (1750 maH vs 2100 maH), it doesn't have LTE capability. The battery would drain after using the phone for a couple of hours, mainly to check e-mail and do Facebook updates. The S3 lasts much longer than the GNex, LTE and all.
