Anyone who has used this phone would DEFINITELY not say it is the best phone on the market. I used one, it was kinda cool, but has seemingly endless bugs and hiccups and a weird design that doesn't allow you to use it with either one hand or two hands.
I own the S3, was getting bored with iPhone, same OS pretty much since day 1 release, owned each iphone and it's time for a change, iOS6 again, looks exactly the same, I guess if it works and sells, why change it.
I will say that the S3 is easy to hold and use and I have no bugs at all so not sure what endless bugs you are talking about, And I am a heavy user of the phone, the battery could be a little better but I guess if you want 4G, it's gonna cost ya somewhere. Other then that, the phone blows the iPhone away in my opinion, I guess it's all personal preference but the screen is awesome, very customizable, love that it has an LED indicator on the top of the phone where it belongs, A lot of the widgets are very useful for instance having 1 page dedicated to just favorite contact shortcuts to instantly call, It killed me when apple did away with the fast home button shortcut to go to favorites, again why people look other places, all the customizing stuff people wish they could do with the iPhone, they can do with the Droid. One of the best things I laugh at that we cant do with an iphone is simply use songs or tones in the phone or email to set as the ringtone, With the S3, my buddy emailed me a sound clip we liked, thought it would be funny to use as an alert so i simply saved it from the email and set in alerts, try doing something that simple on the iPhone, you have to import it, convert it, sync it, its a joke and 10x longer worth of work to just add a friggin ringtone/alert you want
Yes, when Droid was new, it sucked, I owned a bunch and test a bunch for my job and I still to this day hate Ginger bread, ICS is the best OS they have made and JellyBean is even better and as much as it kills me to say, The OS, again in my opinion, its nicer and more fun to use then iOS5, until you own one for a couple of days, dont knock it. some people think the S3 may be hard to hold because you're so used to the tiny iPhone, once you use the S3 for a little bit it's very comfortable and when I look at my wifes iPhone now it's so damn small
that being said, the huge Apple fan I am (own macbook pro's, imacs, iphones, iPads, airport extreme and use them all daily at work and home) I will be following the next iPhone release because I will still be able to get upgrades throughout my family plan and if it is more impressive then just a tiny bit more stretched screen and 4G, I will consider buying one to play with. I still think the i4 has the best build quality on the market and the s3 is more plasticky, but I more care about the larger screen and OS at this point
