    I prefer to keep my phone in a case to keep it looking brand new (and to protect it considering how many times I drop it) so I can sell it for almost as much as I bought it for. :thumbsup:



    If you hate cases, obviously the iPhone is the way to go based on those videos. The S3 cracked almost immediately. :laugh:

    Went into verizon, took me all of 45 seconds to put the sIII down. I didn't like it. But don't let me make the decision for you. I love my iPhone 5

    The IPHONE 5 is boring. It is basically an IPHONE 4s with LTE. The SIII has everything the 5 has and more. I have had every IPHONE and switched to the SIII and will not look back unless Apple steps out of there comfort zone. Plus the 5 is having a lot of issues with maps and other stuff. I say SIII!

    On ebay there are iphone 5's going for nearly $900.00 bucks. What is so much greater about this phone than a 2 or 3 hundred smart phone. I guess prestige. I would much rather pay 900 for a really good laptop that I can actually see than this little thing.

    Constructive point. The galaxy is as good as any other phone out. All these phones have there goods and bads. If you want a vanilla phone then the Iphone is the one. If you want something you can modify and make look different then you get an android phone.

    why stray from a good design? i just want updated technology and slight enhancements on a good foundation. if you need something radical everytime you release a phone, chances are it will be less than ideal just to make it new.

    I like porsches for the same reason.

    why release a new phone every year with marginal changes when they could have made an iphone5 equivalent a couple years ago? oh yeah, their loyal sheep will buy it regardless so apple just makes minor changes every year to sell more phones.
