@TwixMoment: The S3 is big. I couldn't fit it in my jeans pocket. it might be easily holdable but it isn't convenient for me.

S3 has the better system. Faster, better resolution, and it's lighter than the iPhone. Also, the screen is big, so if you like big phones, you'll love this, or the Galaxy Note.
The Android system is revolved around the user. You can customize it to your preference.

I have the iPhone 4S. I'm not big on the whole phone apps/games because it's a waste of time. I got the iPhone because of the ease of use. iPhone is made for easy use. Plus, when many people have the iPhone, your messages won't count as text, but as data.

Wait and see what iPhone 5 comes with, nobody does not yet know what it will bring to this world. What have Apple managed to get into their phone this time that will make other companies jealous? We have yet to find out...

I had an iPad and hated it. I've never been a fan of iOS. I love my S3 though. It's great not being at the mercy of apple.

S3 has flash. iPhone has its own crap substitute for flash.

[quote=kratos223]Why would you want to use IOS[/quote]

security (same with their computers). other then me having it as a phone,MP3 player and an internet browser, not much. But then again I would do the same thing on an android.
OT: I don't have a preference yet but the S3 is losing already. The screen is just too big, I want a phone (similar size to the 4s), not a Mini tablet. Leaning towards iphone just for the IOS and the size.
Somebody asked so I might as well let them know. you can get the iphone 4 (8gb or is it 16gb?) for $50 with a 2 year contract upgrade. Right now the 3GS is free, so I'm guessing the iphone 4 will be free when the 5 comes out.
and people saying the price of the iphone is going to be $65826502 dollars are wrong. It's going to be $800 max [i][b]WITHOUT[/b][/i] a contract. It's safe to say $199 with a 2 year upgrade.

IF the S3 had a smaller screen version, It would be a tough choice for me tho.

Wait for iPhone 5 to come out so you can hear the full details about it. Everything going around about it right now are just rumours.

My brother originally wanted the iPhone 5, but I showed him the Samsung S3 and he was like
"0.0 it supports flash" and changed his mind. Now he's saving money for it
I want the S3 in white, might just get it.

You need to wait for the product to come out... There's nothing concrete about the iPhone 5 yet. That mockup can be a disguise for the prototype, just like what they did with the S3.
