    Had a GS3. And yes it was big and cool. But a absolute POS phone. So. I traded for a new 4s for the wife and gonna use her upgrade for the 5. I hate Samsung because they don't work as they should. I love Apple because they work perfectly.

    Look up no sim error. Shit would happen every week. Wifi was piss poor, and my s3 would NoT work in my house. But EVERY other phone never missed a beat. I could barely send a text from my house. The phone is fucking huge and impossible to use one handed. The iPhone on the other hand has zero issues. It works and works well.

    Same here. Love the size of the Nexus. Nothing that the iphone offers would make me want to switch. Anytime i hold someones iphone i cant help but think it was deaigned for woman hands. Or midgets. I know plenty of people with iPhones that have issues. Its hardly the flawless device everyone thinks just because theirs works. They can have issues like any other phone.

    I had the droid x (first gen) and after two years of battling with dumb OTA updates and ways to un-root my phone. The basic software and android os was always crap. I couldn't stand the bloatware as well always slowing down the phones and what not. Also some droid phones (Motorola phones) would randomly restart, including mine. My X also froze, crashed, and did everything else. If I was able to successfully root AND ROM my phone I would have stayed with android os. But the iPhone 5 works, its faster than hell, and most importantly...it works.

    The Droid X was crap. Mine always gave me issues too. I'll never buy a non-Galaxy Android phone again. The Galaxy phones don't have all that junk that carriers put on their other phones.

    Agreed. But it turned me off of android phones. I did love my droid x when I could ROM it with different images but Motorola stopped that quick and in a hurry

    Since I switched to all Apple products 4 or 5 years ago ... never had a crash on anything ... period.

    Yes, I pay through the zzz ... but the Apple stuff (Laptops & iPhones) just plain works when I need them to.

    FWIW ... I like the same company building the hardware AND software on the laptops and cell phones.

    PS ... I think the droids can do more stuff, but are too complicated for me. My wife has a droid and will go iPhone next time too.
