I'm still on my iPhone 4, will most likely get the iPhone 5 when I actually have the money for it. Hell my 4 works just fine though, but having that extra speed from a 5 would be much better, plus it's quite noticeably lighter.

I couldn't believe how much lighter they made it compared to the 4 when you have one in each hand.

Google doesn't have the clout that Apple does, but wants the power to dictate control like Apple does. In the end, they chose to not build an LTE Nexus 4 (which is a shame, because it looks gorgeous and sounds fantastic) instead of putting Verizon and Sprint users through the same bullshit they've gone through regarding the Galaxy Nexus. It's unfortunate, but it's the reality of the situation.

I'm tempted to jump off of CDMA/LTE and onto HSPA+ forever because this locked-in CDMA system is for the birds, but the fact is the the HSPA+ networks just can't cut it for data speeds and breadth of coverage.

Galaxy S3, Released May 29, 2012
iPhone 4S, Released Oct 14, 2011

A BRAND NEW PHONE sold more 1.8M more units than a phone that was almost a year old? WOW. Who would have thought THAT could happen.

It's a very good phone. But use some common sense. Apple sold 5M phones in 3 days. Two months after release, it's still a two week wait to get them since they can't make them fast enough.

i wouldnt call may a brand new phone. the s3 has a track record of selling extremely well. over 10 million sold.

besides, isnt this the first time since iphones release another smartphone outsold the iphone for any period of time?

Bought the Nokia 920 yesterday and am coming from an iPhone 3G S. It's taking a bit of time to get used to, but its pretty interesting. The lack of some of the more popular apps is a downside. The camera is really good, I'll post a pic that I took from the Amerks game last night.

Honestly, I think that's what people will base their phone choice more and more in the coming years. It's hard to justify walking away from all the money you invested in one app ecosystem to switch to the other one.

Yeah, that was probably the biggest downside. But, it has also helped me be less glued to my phone checking multiple apps for sports news/scores, automotive news, and moderating social media pages, so that's a plus in a way. Not having Pandora is probably my biggest pet peeve. No headphones either, which seemed a bit odd after coming from Apple. I did get a free wireless charging station that matches my phone's red for free (I'm waiting for it to be shipped to my house).

The OS has taken a bit to get used to as its not as simple as the iPhone's OS, but it's not overly complicated either. There are some neat things with it like the camera, cinemagraph, Microsoft Office (good for me with writing/reading).

I'd go further and say it's not just apps but movies, books, and the like, too. It's no longer about software, now it's about media ecosystems and that's how companies are locking in users.
