i personally dislike the S3 and opted for the HTC variant, Evo LTE. its a better build quality and i prefer the customized skin.
I did try out the S3, it would have been my other choice but didnt like the build quality.. it was a deal breaker. Nonetheless im willing to forgive Samsungs atrocious design since Android nonetheless slays effortlessly over ios.
HTC's designs are worlds better and more unique than Samsung's. The phone you purchased is very nice (not like my opinion matters). I hope you flashed it with a custom ROM to get rid of HTC Sense.
i too once had the iphone 4s. It was a pretty sturdy sexy phone...but a boring OS. To each his own.
True, I just have been with iPhone since the 3G and I wasn't to keen on the iPhone 5 so I thought I would give the S3 a try, but I just couldn't get into the OS
I don't think iphone 5 must be pitted agaisnt Samsung S3. The real enemy of iphone 5 is still Samsung Galaxy 2. I think. The design goes to iphone 5 but overall it's still Samsung Galaxy S series.
I prefer Android for the customization and less restrictions on what you can do with it. I used iPhone for a few years and its nice but I don't like being constrained to the 4x4 apps per page, no widgets, no file managing/downloading, etc. I see the appeal of iOS but its not for me.
An s3 would be nice but my S2 running a Jellybean ROM is heaven.
How did you upgrade your to Jelly Bean? I have Samsung s2 too.
