After being an devoted apple fan since the beginning, I finally decided to switch to samsung! I'm sorry to say, but APPLE IS NOT APPLE WITHOUT STEVE JOBS! After going thru many issues with iphone 5 preordering and delivery error, etc. I took the time to look at the Galaxy S3 at AT&T store, internet reviews, and real life users for the FIRST TIME EVER!! LOL I decided it's time for a change. Looking and playing with both phones at the store, I don't see how iphone 5 can compete with Galaxy S3. Even though Galaxy S3 been out for 5 months, it still out shine the new iphone 5. This is probably due to the lost of Steve Jobs. Anyhow, those of you who are still having preorder issues or waiting, I suggest that you do the same as I did and take a look at Galaxy S3, you will be suprise. Plus something about 4.1 JB update for Galaxy S3 this month is going to make it even better! Not sure what that's all about!! LOL, I think it's the OS. Anyhow, good luck everybody! It's been great with apple thru the years, but not the same without THE MAN - STEVE JOBS!! ![]()
P.S. you can return your iphone 5 to att if you haven't open it for no fee.

hmmm, LOL, out shine iphone for me. Didn't say for everyone!! LOL that's y i say, if have time to check and test it out. I got my brand new S3 for $150 today compare to $400 64g iphone 5 I order and it was shipped to the wrong address because the order taker somehow miss the whole line to my work place address and it got send back to the warehouse. But I'm glad I took that chance and check out the galaxy which surprise the heck out of me. I always have iphone and this was the first time I actually check out a different phone other than apple. I spend a total of $200 with 32gb memory card which is a better deal and its great for my personal use, cuz of the screen size (which may not be for everyone) and very easy to use also. Compare all that to the iphone 5 it out shine iphone for my purpose and cost. LOL just trying to help those who having trouble with ordering or undecided, etc. if they want a 2nd option, then to go and check samsung galaxy s3 out...just like i did. Your opinion that iphone 5 is great for you, then great! I'm happy for you. Sorry if it offended you... hmmmm interesting... wasn't meant to be a bad post!! lol
Comparing iphone 5 and galaxy s3 at att store side by side and to me it out shine iphone 5 for my smartphone use purpose, iphone 5 feel the same as iphone 4s except a little bigger screen, I was expecting alot more from apple, but that's my opinion! And maybe some other's too if they are having problem with ordering, shipping, undecided, or whatever, then go to the att store and compare the 2. Keep in mind this is just my opinion, but it meet the purpose for my smartphone usage. 16gb Galaxy S3 $150 + 32gb samsung micro sdhc card + case = $206. Purpose + Cost = Out Shine Iphone 5 for me!!
But if people buy at ATT store then its $200 not $150. I didn't get Galaxy S3 at att store, but at my local electronic store which I won't say on here since it's ATT website and I will not advertise for another company. They did all the activation thru ATT. I just went to ATT store to compare phones, but my service is still with ATT since 2001. ATT is best for my area, no issue with service.

You won't get much love on the Apple forum
Enjoy the S3 though!
I'm using Windows Phone now, waiting for the WP8 devices in a few more weeks. There is no question that the iPhone and iOS have apps. But frankly at this point there's not much differentiaton between iOS and Android, and WinPhone8 so try whatever you want, and see if something works for you.

so, where the part is out shine ??
I'm sure that the Ford Taurus outsells the Bentley, but which one is the better car?
How does the Samsung Galaxy S III outshine an iPhone 5 (for me)?
1. Larger screen size
2. NFC availability
3. I have a choice in virtual keyboards
4.. I have the option for expandable memory
5. I use Widgets extensively
6. I have more customization options (i.e. live wallpaper that provides information, not just aesthetics)
7. Features that enhance usability (i.e. palm-swipe for screenshots)
8. Functional GPS-navigation included
For some other people, the removable battery is a plus, as well.

Drop test videos are meaningless to me. I don't do insurance through Asurion, as I believe that it is a waste of money. I've used Android for over two years and have had no major problems with apps.
Enjoy your iPhone; I don't knock most people's choice in devices. Go for whatever works for you, and I'll do the same.

I concur. I went from iPhone 3g, HTC Inspire and now iPhone 5. I loved my droid but it seemed like my apps always froze or crashed and I never rooted it or anything like that. Maybe it was the phone but I have lots of friends with HTC's and they never have problems.

It seems like 2011 wasn't a good year for quality for HTC's phones, at least for the Android phones. This year seems better and I know people still using the HTC EVO 4G from 2010. I don't know what went wrong with HTC in 2011.

lol., I think it was me. I have that effect. Oh well, right now its the iphone, next one could be a droid. However, if Apple would quit with all the proprietary stuff and allow SD cards I would be sold on Apple for life. But, that will not happen.
