    Hi i have iphone 5 and an s3 . Iphone is good for day to day use but When you play the same hd video in a S3 and an iphone side by side , the s3 just blows the iphone away . Amoled hd is truly awesome.

Separate folders that can be created by yourself to move your messages for later usage. I used N8 and now it's iphone 4s. My wife and daughter are still using the n8. Upgrading march/april. If those features are on iphone!!! Wow!!

            1.speed dial and smart find in phone book.
            2 lack of settings in camera for smaller photos.
            3. Lack of good quality software for call recording.
            If any one can help please write.
            I am loving the quality of hardware , camera quality and speed and best of all iCloud backup.
            Thanks

                  I'm gonna get my iphone 5 very soon
                  it's my very first iphone
                  before that i've used iphone 4s of my friend's friend for just 30min
                  i was never attracted by any phone like that
                  iphone always wins, it's worth of it's cost
                  i'm so excited about it

                    the s3 is so annoying to use with one hand. Sometimes even to answer a phone call you need to support it both hands. Thats the reason why I wanted to try the iphone.

                      Bharani , 26 Jan 2013Hi. I have been using android phones for the past 2 yrs and an S3 user for the past 3 months. ... moreI'm also using my phone for business. Got GS3 an note 2 and nokia...and iphone. What you are saying is so true. When upgrading my employees' phones I will definitely go for iphone. Read a previous post of me and please comment. It's to do with Apple using their own hardware and software. It just make sense to me. And iphone's os is so simple and easy to use. I don't want and don't have the need to do all this customizing etc. the only droid phone that's attracking my attention at the moment is the xperia z....but my first choice is iphone. I just wish Apple will increase the volume and weight a litle bit and put in a larger battery...that will be a killer!

                        Anonymous, 25 Jan 2013What I actually meant was some people come here and say "s3 has 1.5 GHz quadra core hahah... moreWell if you don't know the Samsung Galaxy S3 has a quad core processor and the iPhone 5 a dual core one.. so?Aslo, the iPhone 5 has 1,2 ghz and the Samsung Galaxy S3, 1,4 ghz so for me there's no difference..+ if I'm gonna buy, I'll buy the iPhone 5 because it has the same features, but it has an iOS6, so.. aslo I've got an iPhone 4 S, it's really good, but if you want more just buy the iPhone 5!

                          Hi. I have been using android phones for the past 2 yrs and an S3 user for the past 3 months. Bought the iPhone 5 couple of days back. The first that struck me was this is beautiful , both the hardware and the os. My S3 has a lot more features and it got updated to jelly bean yesterday. I have never felt the need the most of them ( at least for a business user like me ) the only thing that caught my attention is the smart stay but the irony is you have to help the device to stay smart most of the time by holding the phone close to you or stand against a bright source of light. With all the power of quad core , the S3 still hangs and stops for a second or so while opening an app or a picture after the jelly bean update. All this happens for everyday use and not while gaming. Finally I have started to understand iOS and its simplicity. It works flawless and is pleasing to look at. It comes at a high price tag but I guess it's worth it. My only worry is the home key as you are dependent on it everything you exit to home screen and I hope it lasts for a long time.

                            To angeliq: No mission here, I'm just giving you guys a taste of reality. No more argument please.

                            To sgnt: sorry for judging you too fast, you're a true good man.

                            And for the rest of all the readers: Please stop patronizing your phones whether its an android, or iphone, or nokia or blackberry. I tried all of them and they're all fine but there always will be pros and cons on each type of phones, just deal with it.

                            Have a nice day to all!!!

                            Me... Out....

                            Ps: please don't remove this one last post from me. Thanks!
