Please, tell us.

Is it because both phones will be obsolete?

Something like that, the S3 will be junk and the iPhone will be valuable. But I guess if you got it 'Free' then that doesn't matter.

Jack dude you complain about all the non fan boys jumping on Apple threads claiming how great the Android stuff is but yet you do the same. I've had apple products for the full term if the contract, I now have android products for full term of the contract so I have had more than a week on one before slating them. I also agree with you where there are horses for courses not everyone will like the same thing, it would be a boring world if we did but........

Please explain your last comment with fact, not some **** n bull theory. As if you look at the tech specs on both phones which one is better spec'd?

Exactly. Android is a kludge that needs ridiculous specs to run anywhere near smoothly. Perhaps Ubuntu for Mobile will do a better job, but again you're in a user environment where no one wants to pay for anything, that doesn't buy many development cycles.

Jack, ive never thought of you as being human, are you some kind of Steve Jobs bot experiment that runs on an apple operating system thats designed to flood the internet with typical apple, brain washing propaganda ?

Dude I'm not just talking processor and memory although it does come into it, to me the S3 and my previous android hand set ran smoother,quicker,less crashing of handset then the equivalent iPhone at the time, as for spec I also mean screen size, resolution, refresh times, camera quality, battery life, expandable storage, replaceable battery,weight, screen glass etc etc........

Oh and the joy of not using iTunes, personally I can't stand it again horses for courses and for the record I do have an ipod so I'm not an apple hater lol

It still gets me that there are still many apps that are not available for the Android market

This will be a debate that will never end, there will be no winner but it does make for a bit of fun

Compare the Galaxy S1 with the iPhone 4S, which has more value? Not just monetary, but you should take that into account. That's the future of the S3.

I'll take a smaller screen, one day battery and 64GB limit, you keep crap apps and organising your music in folders. And mine's a 4S.

Good topic Stevie, first of the New Year.

Brain Washing's involved for sure, if you read my posts you'd realise that they're not extreme, the reaction by the Fandroid/Windblows members on here though are often astonishing, and have fooled people into believing what they say. Some of the brainwashed think I'm a upper level fanboy, some even go on to buy products on Anti-Apple advice, nearly all regret that, but can't bring themselves to admit I was right.

Jack, you were the one that came into this thread trying to **** on the guys bonfire.

Just let the man enjoy his purchase.
There really is no point getting into another pointless 'iPhone vs The World' argument again is there?

I will be reporting back here soon when my HTC One X+ arrives tomorrow.
The only thing that concerns me is the battery life. Some say is an improvement over the One X, others say say not.
I am used to just over 1 day on my Desire S but then it is still on the original battery.

Jack is good entertainment, i half knew when i started the thread that he'd make a major contribution and try to put the Galaxy down

I deffo won't get eat up over a phone, to me its just something that i can make calls on, send texts and check email, a bit of web browsing and listen to music on the go etc.

Jack i was hoping for more to be honest, i was hoping you'd say its a right pile of junk and its not worth w@nking over like the iphone

You're wrong there, I said he'd love his phone. You should try reading, it's more accurate than propaganda.

What I don't like about the S3 and the Note II is how plasticy/cheap they feel, just like one of my 2 years old's toy phones. Sure the hardware inside might be great but having an iphone 4 I like the weight of the glass and solid feel to it. I had thought about changing to a Nexus 4 but again it's just too flimsy so will stay with my outdated 'slow' iphone 4 until something comes along that feels equally solid/strong.
