Anyone returning their iphone 5 and getting something else?

You're not going to really win the hearts of many people here with a question like this, seeing as its an apple forum.

You should get what you want and not worry about what people think. It's a valid question of course but sadly you're just going to get mostly negative feedback with a question like that here.

The S3 is a nice device and I don't find it difficult to use one handed but that won't be the same for everyone. Another thing people don't realize is that Androids UI doesn't call for you to touch the top of the screen as often as the iPhone because it has a dedicated back button.

Regardless, get what makes you happy and works for you. There is no perfect solution thats suitable for every single person.

I think I'm an iOS-er for life after Siri helped me with my NFL picks this week. (I'm not kidding--she can tell you who is favored on specific games.) I was blown away by its ability to access that information.

I have not had one problem yet with Siri or Maps (I'm coming off an iPhone 4, btw) and I have been loving Passbook as well. It is already coming in very handy for my trips to Walgreens and Target, both of which I go to semi-frequently.

I love the thinner and lighter design. I love the 4" screen, especially because I watch a lot of TV on the train. I love the longer battery life. I love finally having Verizon LTE after suffering on AT&T for the last few years. (AT&T's LTE sucks in Chicago, btw. SO glad we switched.) I love that Verizon allows me to use it as a hotspot for my WiFi only iPad for no extra charge. And most of all, I love that my wife finally got one. Now she understands why I'm always staring at my phone screen.

There's literally nothing about this phone that I don't like. I will give it up for something else when you pry it out of my cold dead hand.

As much as I want to love this phone, I think mine is going back as well. My home button is already dysfunctional. The WiFi issues really drive me nuts, I realize this is a software thing but there has yet to be a fix released. Also noticing calls dropping a lot more. I have a replacement on the way from Apple but I am considering sending it right back, returning my 5 and going with an S3 for a while. Figure if I don't like it, I'll sell it on ebay and go back to a trusty 4S which I am now kicking myself for selling mine.
