Iphone vs Galaxy S3 LTE
I am a long time iphone user and a longtime fan of apple products and currently use a iphone 4S. However, I was curious about the Galaxy S3 and I did want a larger screen and I liked the idea of a removable memory card up to 64gb which I could access file through as if they were on my computer. I was so anxious to get it and waited patiently for the mail to arrive with my new Galaxy S3.
It finally arrived and I opened the box and it is a nice looking phone with a sharp looking screen. I downloaded the Kies software which is samsungs version of itunes used to update the phone firmware, software, and contacts, music etc.
As a longtime itunes user I found Kies software to be very basic and disappointing and not very user friendly. I was able to update the phone and upload my contacts from my google (gmail account) although a lot of my contact information was deleted and had to be re-entered.
I was now ready to start using the phone. I set up my email account and downloaded my email and downloaded a bunch of apps from the Samsung App store and was ready to go. First thing I missed was the smoothness of the ios software and the crisp clean format of email on the iphone. The email app on the GS3 was very basic and no where near as smooth or aesthetically pleasing as the iphone email.
I also missed the switch on the side of the iphone that puts it in silent mode as you walk into a meeting or restaurant - so convenient. Going back and forth between the different screens and learning all the different buttons and putting up with android software was just so different and lacked the user friendliness of the iphone. Just my opinion but the Android OS sucks!
Within 24 hours I sold my Galaxy S3 to a colleague at work and went back to my iphone 4S. I also ordered an iphone 5 that should be here in a few weeks. If you have never used an iphone then the Galaxy S3 is probably a great phone with lots of great features. However, if you love the iphone IOS I can't imagine you liking Android. Just my opinion, but I am sticking to the iphone from here on out.
