The Blue Board

something thats not even out yet is already behind http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-vs-iphone-5?utm_source=ac&utm_medium=twitter

By the end of the year probably 12 android phones will be in front of it. 3(maybe 4) are now

My 2 year old Galaxy s2 has pretty much identical specs

You guys do know that it's one company working against many right,one phone against many? That competition and drive is what makes these phone's specs so much better. The funny thing is that Apple really doesn't give an ish because their revenue stream doesn't have to worry about this completion. The majority of the market cares about accessible functionality. Apps, iPod, social status etc.

that was my biggest complaint with my droid. mine was mostly bc of the screen. my iphone kills my droid battery life, but my droid was 3 years ago lol. im sure its a bit better now.

The best deal I've been able to find is 300 (no contract) for the Galaxy S2 X

Would you guys say that Apple or Android has the better market?

Android is pretty bad for apps if you don't have it rooted imo.

IPhone has better apps by what I've heard and had hands on experience with.

Not ignorant - Think it is f-ing retarded that you are on a football message board shitting on a Billion dollar company's product that has increased its sales 28% for iPhones and Ipads into 3rd qtr 2012. It is hard for me to sit and look at stock market shares and transfers then come to a football message board and see your "self indulged" jerk off session over a phone and how one phone is so "SEC" and the other phone is so "Big East"

Really ghey that's all

well the galaxy nexus is a year old phone for one. but the main point of why i tend to buy nexus is that nexus is not altered in any way by your carrier or manufacturer.....Nexus branded phones are Google's from the factory version of Android. And they get updates from Google, not your carrier. So you get updates as soon as Google creates them, no waiting.

then again, if you are OK with replacing your ROM and kernel on your phone then updates don't even matter......you just put whatever you want on the S3. for instance right now there are multiple S3 ROMS out there of JellyBean that are available before Samsung has even created the official ROM of JellyBean. (doing this isn't hard at all, i've done it over 50 times on my phone)

install setCPU. set up a screen off profile. set up a screen on profile governor. the phone will last much longer.

i dont remember if those apps were verizon related or droid related. oh well, haha

im sure ill have plenty of new options come feb.

yes. thast why both OS have their positives and negative. both are awesome and both have their flaws.

it really just depends on what you are looking for in your phone. me, personally, i use it like a laptop. id be better off getting a tablet lol.

I have given iPhone props for what Apple does well. They target a user that wants something simple, easily accessible, and really just easy to use. There is nothing wrong with that. Like I said, my Grandma got an iPhone 4 about a month ago, and I'm glad the iPhone was available for her to get.

On the other hand, Android is better for the more technically inclined user that wants more out of their phone. Anyone that has owned both will agree with everything I just said.

You act like Google is some slouch with no money. Google and Apple own the market, and they appeal to two different fan bases. I like to do a lot with my phone, and I like the customization. I also like the screen size. I have the Note which has a 5.3" screen. Perfect for me because I surf the web a lot on my phone. Android is perfect for me after owning both.

I feel the same way. Personally, I think the current dimensions feel the most ergonomic.

Let me ask you guys this...without getting into a debate...I've had an iPhone for the last 5 years and love it. The only thing I don't like is the size.

I was really looking forward to buying the iPhone 5, but the size and demonsions have me second guessing it.

My questions are on the actual phone, not the software etc. Samsung phones have always just seemed cheaper. I listen to my gf's nexus on speaker phone and it sounds garbled compared to my iPhone. The volume and speakers between the two arent even close. Mine blows her out of the water.

I like the screen size of hers, but my screen looks sharper and brighter. I can't even read her phone on a sunny day on max brightness.

These are the things that concern me. Android guys, what say you? Specifically if I were to get gs3
