Has anyone here got the new galaxy s3???? My upgrade is due and I'm wondering if I should get one of them, I've currently got an iPhone 4, and am kind of worried I'll hate the galaxy after moving over from an iPhone.
Has anyone made the swap from an iPhone to a galaxy s3, how have you found it??
-
I recently went from 4s to htc one x which is pretty much the same experience as the s3. It took me a month of swapping between them but the iPhone was still the phone I couldn't do without. Just does everything that little bit better. I would suggest you just hold on for the iPhone 5

Sounds like you went through what I think I'll be like as well. I phoned orange the other day to order the galaxy but changed my mind when I was talking to customer services. The iPhone 5 is months away but should be worth the wait I reckon. I'm going to look at the galaxy tomorrow and will see after that, but I think I'll end up taking your advice and wait for the 5.

Hi mate...Back in dec I was due for a upgrade from a 3GS on Vodafone...Upgraded to a samsung galaxy2 but didn't like it so I went back to Vodafone & swapped it for a 4s....but the galaxy3 maybe a different story

Looks like Apple all the way mate

It does don't it, they just have to hurry up and get the next one out

Once you have used an apple device and you have gotten used to IOS, dont change to another phone OS unless you and technology get on well.
Get a 4s or wait for the 5.
The S3 is an awesome device (currently doing the training material for the guys at work) and it will be my next phone when staff deals are announced. BUT i wouldn't recommend it to a apple user just because they are so different.

8 months ago I went from a 3GS to the SII. Pretty decent phone but really i'm just waiting for the iPhone 5.

I have the HTC one X and love it. I came from a HTC Desire and so I am used to an Android phone. I also have two iPads and love those as well. I can see the lure of Apple, but the HTC 1X simply does everything that the 4S does.....except faster! An iPhone 5 will have to be a big leap forward in tech to keep up with the current raft of Android phones. For me the bigger screen and better camera are the deal breakers - the iPhone's 3.5" screen is just too small for my ageing eyes! :sad1:
-
went phone iPhone 3G to Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which is near on the same as the S3, and it's the best thing I ever did. iPhones IMO are very "same old" with a better screen and a gimmick called siri.
I will look at the iPhone 5 if it's any different in the terms of the way it operates. Hopefully not the same, and also that it's built much stronger, and not blow on it and screen breaks. :fighting:
Just my opinion..

How does it phone someone faster? :confused: :evilgrin:
Having looked at the S3 and played about with it, yes it is very slick and has a nice screen (not as good as the 4S IMHO) but its fecking hoooge!! I might as well add a phone function to my iPad and carry that around.
Plus it feels cheap and flimsy. If you looked at it wrong it would probably break :grin:
Having dropped my iPhone a few times and it gets pretty bashed around in work I wouldn't say it had a flimsy screen. It is only used with an incase snapcase kept in an ortlieb waterproof bag like this whilst I'm in work as you can still use all the phone functions through it.

I disagree ref the htc doing everything faster.
It might benchmark well with all the power but the apps whether that be Facebook loading, tv catchup starting videos, cineworld etc etc all loaded much faster on my 4s. I think its the whole windows problem, sw written to work with so many different hardware set ups that it's never optimised to utilise the power. There was simply no time when the one x was a fast as my 4s. And they also looked nicer on the iPhone too.
It's nice for a change but when rogue apps start eating your battery and the only way to fix is a restore it becomes very tiresome very quickly (much faster than the 4S in that respect I will give you)

Just got an s3 and must say I'm very impressed. Had an iphone and a nexus before. The build is far from cheap. Very solid and feels fantastic. It's a tad larger than my previous phones but the screen quality makes up for it. Not got round to doing much on it yet but will keep you posted.

How do you rate it from the Galaxy nexus with ICS to the S3? Is it worth trading up ?

My wife picked up a Galaxy S3 this afternoon and if i am honest it outshines the iPhone 4s. I really hope Apple pull something amazing with IOS6 and the new iPhone, if they don't it could be enough for me to jump ship :grin:

I went and had a play with a Samsung galaxy s3 at an orange shop yesterday, gotta say it seems a great phone, does most things my iPhone 4 does, but quicker, a lot quicker. Made up my mind to get one as my upgrade, then changed my mind and came home. Been thinking of it again today, called customer services at orange after deciding to get one, an hour later I called them back and cancelled my order, just can't seem to get iPhones out of my head, so I'm gonna wait for the iPhone 5 and that. But I do have to say, the iPhone 5 is going to have to pull a few things out of the bag because the galaxy s3 seems like a very very good all round phone.

The rumours going around for the new iPhone are not that great
Taller screen but the same width
New micro usb dock connector replacing the current one (what this means for everyones docks and speaker systems is unclear)
4G, but I doubt it will be compatible with 4G outside of North America (like the new iPad)
Maybe the same A5X cpu as the new iPad
Maybe a new low power wifi chip which would give you airdrop if you also own a Mac
As much as I like the Galaxy S2 & S33, I'm feeling that the screen size is getting too large
-
It's not just the hardware. You have to get on with the OS, and I hate Android so very much. iOS 6 should be interesting. Can't wait for next weeks WWDC to see what it will bring.
