Interesting to see this
Love the comment by the guy saying he doesn't want the S3 because it's too big, yet he will be standing in line for the new iPhone.
I would go wit a iphone 5 jus for the resale value and the ios good there releasing to many android phones so after a month ur phone is old also the value on ur android drops so fast it's unreal

Resale value doesn't matter if you're not going to sell the phone. Still can't believe what people will pay for iPhones and macs, but to each his own.

You buy a phone based on the resale value? Not because of usability and your own liking?

I have iphone and I felt as tied, android makes me feel more free.
Buying a phone for the resale value is worse than the people who hold off on buying a new phone forever because the want to always have the top phone.

Does that really matter when Android 2.2 already has more functionality than iOS 6?

I have a feeling this thread is going to get hectic
I'm will buy the iPhone 5 when it is available because:
- it is an iPhone
- it is the best device
- Apple is the best company
- iPhone is more expensive than other devices so it has to be better
- Everyone has an iPhone
- All the Actors, Actresses and Entertainers have an iPhone
- the iPhone is heavy and built strong
- it has a lot of apps
- people wait on long lines for the iPhone so it has to be the best phone or people wouldn't wait on the long lines
- the iPhone is indestructible
- I want to support Steve Jobs.
- it has the Apple logo which looks cool, and people known that I am Hip
- having one shows I don't follow the crowds, and am able to make my own decisions.
- the iPhone has basically remained unchanged for years, so it must be the best device, as other manufactures keep changing their devices because they are subpar.
- it doesn't have a removable battery or SD card because it adds weight and it's better not to have them. It makes the iPhone more indestructible,
- when Apple decides it is in the best interest of their customers to do so, Apple will make changes to the iPhone.
If I think of any more Great reasons to own the iPhone. especially the Great iPhone 5, I'll be sure to post them.
I hope the above reasons haven explained why the iPhone is the Best, and helps others to make their decisions based on these Facts.
Thank you.
UPDATE:
- I know people who have told me that they have accidentally went swimming with the iPhone in both the Pool and the Ocean. The iPhone continued to work without consequence. This means the iPhone is also Waterproof. Apple doesn't say this because of Liability reasons, But this is just Another reason to buy the iPhone. UNBELIEVABLE!!
Update #2:
- The iPhone 4s has been used by Astronauts to make phone calls and texts from the I.S.S.
Some of Astronauts have even been able to use Apps from the International Space Station.
They have even used Apple's GPS system to guide the Shuttle back to Planet Earth when the native system failed.
Simple Amazing!
Imagine what the iPhone 5 will be able to contribute to society!!
The iPhone....... Truly a Smartphone Above & Beyond the boundaries of Planet Earth!!
Now throw those Androids away, and pick up the iPhone 5 when it's made available!!
I coudn't resist
Galaxy S3 all the way! Had mine for a few weeks, rooted it, and put CM10 (Jelly Bean) rom on it. The thing is amazing! So snappy, battery life is excellent ~13.5hrs today with 30% left to go.
IMO, android allows more customization and cheaper apps (amazon market has free app of the day). I cannot agree with Apple's business model of f'ing the customer. They change the pin outs for their $80 chargers for every other generation purposefully to screw customers into buying more accessories. To be honest, that is the only thing apple products have going for them is quality of accessories.
Apple makes good products but they are not for me. I enjoy the freedom of open source and the abundance of the development community that android provides.
Anyone else get pissed when someone asks "Is that a Droid?" NO IT IS NOT! It's an ANDROID PHONE!

It's a little silly to get upset at people who use Droid and Android interchangeably. Would be akin to being upset because someone confused your iPhone 4s with the regular iPhone 4 IMO.

Hm I would sell it and either wait for an iPhone 5 June/July or take the SGS II. It is just about your needs. Big hands and gorgeous screen --> SGS II
Most beautiful apps and polished and awesome build quality: iPhone
decide what you really need and then choose your phone. Making a list should be helpful =)

i like the iphone!
..but you're right
it is like comparing a spork with a drawer full of utensils
SGSII but since it's not out yet, Cappy all the way.
iOS and Android, I will pick Android.
Apple and Samsung, I will pick Apple.
Also.. the iPhone 4 screen shatters with barely a strong glance at the GLASS screen.
Don't mention the word Apple or iPhone on xda. The mentally challenged will come out and bite rabidly. A better place would be HowardForums.
I would sell the iPhone 4 if you are comfortable with an x10. A sealed box will sell for a good price. Then you can wait for the SGS2. The iPhone 5 probably won't be announced until June, which is quite a while. I wouldn't buy anything right now though, since the stuff on the market right now isn't really an upgrade from what you already have.

OP, if you like the SGS2 then wait for it, or wait for iP5 see what apple puts out.
I am doing that right now, between SGS2 or iP5.
Most of the stuff you will get here is android fans, but in reality apple has much better hardware than anything on android (my opinion). The OS, well they are pretty similar, if you want your phone to just work apple all the way, if you want to customized then go android.
Just be aware that iPhone can also be customized by jailbreaking.
I have a 3GS that's almost 2 years old and it's working as good as day one.

Reality and personal opinion don't mix sadly. Anyway, depends what you mean by "hardware". Apple A4 was Samsung's Hummingbird, just with a lower clock and a slower GPU. Overall build quality may be better... until it falls and you're left with cracked glass all over the phone. Antennagate? Not sure about the much better now...
Software and integration is another story, that's where iOS definitely wins.

It's all relative to needs.
Sure, the iP is a pretty piece of hardware backed up but the brand fandom. everyone has it, everyone wants one.
As far as jailbreaking goes, the cat and mouse update/jailbreak game with apple gets old really fast... Every update of iOS patches something that dev team fixes and then they fix it and apple releases another update and .... you get the idea.
Jailbreaking every two months, playing with the unlocked baseband and risking ending up with a brick is no fun.
Personally I've decided to move away from every apple product, because apple doesn't necessarily have the greatest most advanced hardware, what they do have is massive marketing department with lots of talented people to make people want those devices (just look at apple product placement in the media).
In the end, it's a matter of usability, preference and what works for the individual; at this point in time, the iP4 is clearly outdated compared (hardware wise) to the devices coming out right now or in the coming month (Atrix, SGS2, etc...) and they will have had 6-7 months to prepare and get the iP5 design ready and produced by June-July-Sept with better hardware based on what they saw coming out from the competition at the CES and other events. By the time apple is done promoting their revolutionary iP5, Motorola, HTC and Samsuncg will have come up with somthing better based on the iP5 specs...
The cel phone war will never end, it will be the eternal peeing contest between large companies. As far as the consumer is concerned, we're just trapped in a vicious cycle we have created.
For me what weighs in, is the ability to have full control of my device. Therefore iP is a no go and thus a lesser device in my perception. Atrix was on top of the list until the Moto fiasco with the signed bootloader. The remaining option is the SGS2 depending on how easy it will be to update without relying on Samsung to do so.
On a side note, I've been using a iP3G since it came out and haven't upgraded the device, so I've been with it for almost 4 years; and seeing all these new android devices coming out everyday makes me hate it more day by day.
Android, for me, offers many more possibilities of growth than iOS will ever be able give me. I am not limited by a company as far as what I can do with the hardware that I hold in my hands.
I would rather take an operating system that is designed to let me do anything to it per my own needs and requirements than one that is marketed to the masses for mass consumption. There is nothing wrong with either, it is all preference. Apps fail to interest me as I have a busy and fun enough life to not care about too many of them In fact many people around me have pages of apps which i rarely see being launched except for the odd score checking/email app.
There is no point in comparison of the phone. In fact I would like it if Android makes its own features and chooses its direction instead of following iOS.
Well I would say to just use for a little while and see if you like it. If you do, great. If you don't, sell it.
Either way you could sell one now or keep both and sell both layer then the SG2 comes out.

So yeah.. seems like the iPhone 5 wont be announced until September.. which means SGSII will be safe for another few months.
I'm just joking.. or am i?
Iv just had so many problems with the SGSII... I just dont know what phone to get right now.. since the SII is the best out. I dont want to buy it again.
Iv never owned an apple product before.. but my brother has owned lots..
Wish they announced it so i could compare the two and see which one is the best
---- IF it is the SII then i might have to go back to it >.>... so i hope they do something good with the iphone
Fanboys gtfo thanks.
No phone is perfect but remember when you buy an iphone no flash, no flash, no flash...it's not that it's not possible to run run but apple have decided for you the user experience it just not good enough, you can't even try it for yourself and remove if you don't like it or keep it even if a half baked flash is good enough for you, nope apple have made the choice for you: no flash!
Expect to wait a while longer than september. The iphone 4 plus will be coming first with some minor improvements but no major changes.

And you know it's not only that I dislike the apple mentality of them making the (right) choices for me I also despise apple as a company, I am a free market capitalist at heart and very seldom find companies evil but apple is one such rare company:
the way they abuse patents and trademarks (ie. steal ideas from small companies) and patent/trademark them and then sue the inventing company is truly evil.
I'm sick of my iPhone 4. I've been a hardcore blackberry user for years, and yes, while the experience wasn't as nice, it was A LOT more open than iOS. iOS has some good ideas, unifying a single format / layout, and all its apps follow the same guidelines, which makes it a good phone for people that know NOTHING about phones! A friend of mine DECIDES to pay THAT Much more for an iMac just because "it works right away, I don't need to configure anything" and Apple products are basically that... "It works without having to do anything" I personally jailbroke mine, and I still can't stand it. Apps apps apps apps! No personalization past ordering up the apps, and 2 pictures (lock screen and behind the apps).
I think Android will be safe for a very long time. They run on a different market. Not to mention, Apple sells things WAY over priced. The iPhone 4 16 gigs cost me the same RIGHT NOW as my SGSII (which should be here at ANYYYYY moment! Come on vodafone! It was shipped! GET TO MY DOOR!)
Apple makes good products for a good demographic, but you also need to understand that the majority of the population doesn't want to configure, or decide. The simpler the better. My BEST FRIEND of 15 years now has a blackberry and an iphone, still, she only texts and uses facebook. Hmmm....
Regardless, you shouldn't see it as "the SGSII is in danger or safe" as it's the family of Android phones. You don't see people saying "Oh no! The iPhone 3G is in danger! But there are 2 other models out! BUT POOR 3G!" No, who cares! more choices = better, for us!
Smartphones BEFORE the iPhone were pretty much all resistive screens, tiny ones, big and bulky. The iPhone has helped us out. The more Apple "revolutionizes" (AKA. taking something that has been there for years, making it pretty, and calling it new) the better for us!

Really the first multitouch capacitive touchscreen build in 1972! when apple introduced it, they meant they dug it up from a grave and reanimated it!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-touch
The only thing i dislike about andriod phones are that there are so many with lots of different specs.. I cant just download any app and use it right away. As for iOS there is only one phone each year that uses it.. which makes it more easy to download any app you want and use it right away.
I hate downloading apps just to find out that it crashes, lags or doesnt even start up.
I like andriod OS better then iOS.. but like i said.. there are too many phones using the andriod OS.
As for Macs.. yeah.. i think they are worthless. You pay so much more money for something that is less powerful than a custom built PC.
I built my PC a few months back and i also got a 27" 2560x1440 monitor (to match up with the iMac 27" screen)
It cost like £100 more for my PC but its 100times more powerful than any iMac.
Also.. the reason why the iPhone4 is still the same price is cause apple only lowers it once a new iphone comes out. They know that people will still forke out that much cash for an iphone.. unlike samsung nokia htc etc.. they always lower the price of their phones cause they just bring out so many per year that they have to.
I really don't think iphone5 would've affected SGS2 sales that much. I'm preety sure I5 will be a good phone but not better than SGS2.

your right.. its better than any iphone.. out right now... unless you can tell the future
My personal uneducated guess would be that the iPhone 5 will be a speed bumped iPhone 4 shipped along with iOS 5.
Which in the end, still doesn't make it better than the Galaxy S2 right now.
Do you really think people cross-shop iOS and Android? Apple people follow their leaders cult-like and keep re-purchasing Apple products. For people that want easy and consistent, nothing beats an iPhone. But those same two points, especially the second one, is what make people turn away. I for one can't stand the banal conformity of Apple products and can't see myself becoming one of the Borg. To test the theory, go to an iPhone forum and post a question about iOS vs. Android. They'll skin you alive.
If you are okay with a smaller screen, having to manage music,photos,video library via iTunes (having a mac helps ) then even an iPhone 4 is a nice choice.
It has unrivaled battery life, does everything its supposed to do pretty good, has enough apps to keep you busy (if you are a heavy apps user that is) etc.
Me, I couldn't get used to a 3.5 screen after using a captivate for a week, the itunes is horrible on my windows machine, drag and drop ain't bad and the retina hype is not enough to match the super amoled awesomeness....
Its all preference, IMO try your options if you can, and settle for what is good for you. I am here today because flashing my captivate and the screen plus music playback is awesome, and battery life after modded is almost on par with iPhone 4. So all good for me.
What you like may be hated or laughed at by another, and that's life.
i wouldnt be able to live with a 3.5" screen. There have been rumors that the new iphone will have atleast 4" screen.. if not then i wont even think about buying it.
My opinion: I don't think Apple will be releasing a mind-blowing, bar-setting iPhone 5 this year.
Perhaps next year, iPhone 6 will be.

Please don't forget that the iPhone is a device mainly targeted for the women crowd (can't remember where I read that over 70% of iPhone users are women). As such, it can't get bigger than 3.5" screen, since their small hands couldn't handle it.

Hmm...Atrix 4G spots a 4" screen but the phone itself is about the same size as the iphone
i think the OP has made a decision that he should buy IPhone simply because he is fed up with one or two annoying features of SGS2.... is that true my friend ???
just because of 1 or 2 features which u might like it better on iphone, dont make ur decision of buying an iphone 5.... because no matter what, SGS2 can beat the iphone 5 right out of the box... in addition to that, so many customizations r coming including the CM7... which is great... u never feel the same as before...
so be patient & wait for some more time... then u give us ur openion... which inturn will be favouring SGS2 i am sure....
till then enjoy the positive things about ur SGS2....
One of the reasons why I moved from the iPhone 4 to the S2 is because every 2nd person I see has an iPhone 4, it was depressing.
And the inability to change notification sounds meant that whenever I heard the notification tone play, I had to second guess if it was my phone.

Until Apple decide to change the way they make their iPhones, android will still be way up top.
Even when iPhone 6 comes out, the SGS3 will probably be 2x better lol.
Also, the majority of iPhone users who purchase an iPhone don't even know what android can do/is capable of and assume iPhone will always be the best phone out...
I was going to buy an iPhone but the only thing appealing about is iTunes.

Haha very true! Recently one of my colleague bought TWO iPhone 4Ss (one for him and another for his wife!). He was boosting like he has got a gold mine before I told him about GS2. He started telling that some Chinese phones even have TV tuners
I couldn't stop laughing at his ignorance that he was comparing SGS phones to Chinese replicas! Realized that he is just a small kid who never BOTHERED exploring the market to understand what he is going for. Thats what I call true iPhonetic!
I used to be an Apple fan, then I took an arrow to the knee.
Seriously tho, it won't be long till alot of them realize Android is the real king.
Thinking on tbh I'm glad people are Apple fan boys who are blinded by the fruit because we as a community of Androidians would never be the same. Aka - We dont want dipshits on our hype.

Thinking on tbh I'm glad people are Apple fan boys who are blinded by the fruit because we as a community of Androidians would never be the same. Aka - We dont want dipshits on our hype.

Have you been around here lately? We already have dipshits all over the place. We need the dip**** terminator. Where is Arnold when you need him?
For all you Android fanboys - stop trying to prove a point. Android is good for people who want control over their device and aren't afraid to tinker with stuff. iOS is good for people who don't care, and just want their phone to work straight out of the box.
Android is getting more intuitive with ICS, but its still not as intuitive for new users as iOS. Deal with it. I absolutely love my SGS2 and Android, but I'm not about to fool myself (or anyone else) that Android is right for everyone.
What he said ^^^
I still have a 3gs which my sis gave me. I still play with games and use it as an ipod, also it can be used as an emergency fone ( you dont say!). Iphones are more fitted to people who just want a phone that works, games, entertainment. Android phones are for people who isn't afraid to muck around with their ****s. iOS and Android are both equally good and fitted for different purpose.

+1. Best comment on here. Stock galaxy s2 has nothing on a stock(not jail broken) ip4s. But im into tinkering thats why the iphone isnt for me.
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
Iphone is the best smartphone in the world. Even the first iphone is much faster and smoother than the cheap plasticky SGSII. Glass is much more stronger even than titanium, and much costlier, that's why other manufacturers don't afford to use it.
Previous iphone had the 4G's, the Wi-Fis and sh!t and was cool, any fool can realize that the new iphone has 4Ses and not just 2 as the Galaxy, hence is twice as faster!
Android not good, it's only for rocket scientists.
Just to call someone you need to read "Android for Dummies, 3rd Edition" - chapter 10 "How can I make a phone call" and then read FAQ section: "How do I end a phone call".
Installing an app is covered in Chapter 45, Section 18 - screen by screen instructions with drawings.
iPhones are more of a status symbol than anything else. Apple give you a phone with pretty basic features and you will love it because it has a little badge on it. Samsung give you a phone with the capabilities of a mid-range PC. I'm not for or against both, I own a PC and a Mac, an S2 and an iPad. It's personal preference at the end of the day.
If anyone knows of a Winterboard equivalent for Android please let me know!

As much as your Market is improving, I still think that is has a long way to go before it can reach the likes of the app store in term of quality! In term of quantity it's there but the apps on IOS are so much F***ING BETTER!!!
It puzzles me why when ever somebody starts a discussion like this a bunch of apple fanboys show up? Are you patrolling the internet looking for somebody who might insult your beloved icon?
Besides, what are you doing at xda in the first place. This is a forum for modders apple does not want you to do such things...

Well..... Good luck with that.
Meanwhile, do you think this will have any effect on our update? Slow it down? Speed it up???
Why not go after the new one?
I hate Apple now.
Apple must have some pretty low self confidence if they are trying to ban their competition instead of trying to do what all the other companies do.. Make a better product.

Apple successfully tricked Samsung lawyers in to admitting that they, from their table, could not identify which tablet was which (iPad vs Galaxy Tab). Not only that but their tablet is far outselling ours.
Maybe Samsung needs to make a better product. Just saying.
I think if the iPad is outselling the Galaxy Tab 10.1, then all this is not even necessary. I just hope Samsung doesnt stop working on this tablet. The Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is out anyways.

If Apple wasn't afraid of Samsung, they wouldn't try to ban them from selling their products. And just because those lawyers work for Samsung, doesn't mean they use their tab, or any tab for that matter. So if they couldn't tell the difference, maybe they're just not tech savvy. To anyone who uses either tab, you can definitely tell the difference. Obviously they are going to look similar, they are both tablets. It's just like Samsung suing magnavox because their tv looks like a tv.. They all look the same. Can't do too much to make a tablet look different, other than change the color.

I agree, apple stinks. Competition is good for development. Aplle has this self righteous attitude that they created everything. Then the stuff they do produce is not enough to supply the original demand. They think that they are this really cool club and only the lucky selected people can come in. Anyway, the suit is about slide lock, how petty!

It makes sense. They already lost the phone war. They are trying to win the tablet war. So far the numbers are on their side but if they keep loosing sales it will be the same as with phones. They will be selling tabs to less than 40 percent of the tab buyers...

Nope. The iPhone is outselling any handset Samsung is offering. Android has to group all their handsets together to make it seem like it's doing better, when in actuality if you look at this from a manufacturer point of view you start seeing their failures.
And we all know Android numbers are padded with tonnes of lower end crappy android devices.

I hate Android phones, not Android as a whole. I think Android belongs on tablets. My phone should be fast, powerful,and easy to use, with minimal crashing and issues. Hence the iPhone. But a tablet should be more like a PC, which is why I put up with a laggy tablet instead of an iPad.
Anyway, I'm not arguing about the OS itself. Just that the numbers are wrong. Only 1 person makes the iPhone and the iPhone 4S is outselling every other handheld out there. When you bring Android devices together they sell more, because there's like 1000 devices and a lot of them are cheap, low end ones that are appealing to people that want an iPhone, but can't afford one.

You're right, the 4s is outselling every other handset. Toyota (as a whole) is also outselling the Honda Civic (see what I did there). Your logic is nonsense, but if it makes you feel better about your phone then tell believe what you'd like.

I sell Android devices at work all the time instead of iPhones. Because we have an extra incentive on the high end Android devices. Galaxy S 2, Galaxy S 2 HD, Galaxy Note, HTC Raider/Evo, the new LG Optimus. And all I can see is crashes, laggy UI (even in ICS) and fragmentation issues. I don't want to wait months for an official update like we are with our Galaxy Tabs. Sure I could and have put on a custom ROM, but things are missing, not working, etc. Point being I prefer the speed and power of an iPhone and it's reliable updates. Nothing against Android. I just don't see it as a good phone OS yet.

Nope. My logic is spot on. No other handset can beat it's sales numbers 1 on 1. I could care less about OS share.

Well; of course it will. On one side you have the Iphone, by itself and singling out 1 Android device which competes against countless other Android devices & the iPhone. Not quite a fair comparison.

Why should we not compare them 1 on 1 for sales? iPhone 4S vs Galaxy S 2. iPhone sold more. iPhone 4S vs any other handset? iPhone hassold more. I don't get why everyone thinks it's such an accomplishment that Android has a bigger overall OS share. Low end devices that have bad life cycles and never get updated isn't my idea of how a phone or tablet should be. Hopefully we can get an Android developer who's on the ball with these things, making updates available quickly.
I know both are totally different phones and I am not trying to compare them at all. But considering the price tag it is pretty much where iPhone 5 will be. So anybody sharing the same thought to compare S3 and iPhone 5 side by side to decide which one to buy.
By the way I was hoping that my next phone will be LTE capable. S3 is not there and I think iPhone may also not be since they have to manufacture specifically region specific. Any ideas if S3 plans to support LTE later

It's always better to compare them side by side, but it's going to be a long wait, as the iPhone 5 probably isn't due for at least a couple of months. I'd rather be playing with a new phone, than waiting for an unannounced phone.
Hello ,I am too confused like you.I have aleardy SIII and don't know to sell and wait iPhone 5.But I decide to remain on SIII because this phone is really great don't have big problems with him and I don't know what to say about iPhone but if SII is better than iPhone 4-4S , probably this thing repeatly with SIII and iPhone 5.
Sorry Android>iOS
To be honest I can't stand the iPhone or its operating system. It will be super small a measly 4 inch screen that's even if the rumors are true. The S3 is 4.8. Android just works.... a ton better than iOS. I would never go back to an apple product. But if you like it go ahead and get. But i will point and laugh at you

What do you mean S3 isn't there? LTE will be on all North American and the NTT Docomo version plus 2 gigs of ram. If you want an answer on which device to buy, dont come to a thread dedicated to the iP5s biggest competitor and expect to hear any answers in favor of it. Just wait for the iPhones release and play with it side by side of the S3. My guess the only new thing in iOS 6 will be a trumped up lawsuit against Google.
Woa... Cool down guys.
I own a galaxy S and not too much of an apple fan as such.

You probably wont have to wait. Odds are Apple is going to show off the iPhone at WWDC 2012 which is June 11-15, and usually they release them to the public not to long after showing them off.
In Android world SGS3 will be outdated by the time iPhone5 and next Nexus comes out around October/November. In fact Samsung may have an updated Note or may be an upgraded SGS3 kind of device with super amoled plus HD, it's quite possible.
But the thing is SGS3 is available to buy now and it's an awesome device. There will be always better devices coming in the distant future after buying any device.
Also about the price tag $$800 for a device that does what Apple says or $800 for a device that does what you want it to. If you enjoy the customization of Android then go that route, if you want a phone that has seven hundred million accessories go with iPhone. But by all means don't base your decision on others' thoughts.
Frankly speaking go wid SGS 3 . By the time iPhone 5 will come out samsung wud ve already readied or in the process of readying SGS3 successor so u wud put the same question again Wait for SGS 4 ? Or go with iPhone 5.
If u want phone for fun go with sgs3 if u want a boring OS with almost similar maybe slightly better app support then go with iPhone 5
For all we know, iPhone 5 could be this juggernaut with 99999999 new features. But:
1) That's the thing: we don't know.
2) Considering that previous upgrades have been pretty much incremental (and indeed, they pride themselves on this and call it "consistency"), I wouldn't personally hold my breath. After all, apple has such product differentiation with their iSheep that they don't need to actively compete in order to maintain their sales. (This is to say nothing of their usage of litigation rather than competition.) But again, this is just my personal guess; they could have adopted a completely new strategy, for all I know.
What's well-known, though, is that other stuff would come out around that same time: the Note II, the Nexii to list the best known examples. Whether you want to wait for these is down to your preferences.
But the iPhone 5 itself is just a big black box. One that I don't think is worth holding your breath on.

Great thread
Being part of the Apple of family for many years, currently owning a MBP, new iPad, iPhone 4 and an Apple TV, I am in the same boat. My contract expires in a month and torn between waiting for the 5 or switching to android and the SGS III. Even if a little biased, this forum is one of my main daily sources to check and help me make up my mind.
So thats that, keep the opinions coming..
I had a 4S, then the Note and now the S3. The S3 is very grown up, better than the 4S in many ways and looks better. Personally I would get the S3 as its available now and is a great phone. When the 5 is available check it out. You can then decide if you want to sell.
Unless iOS 6 starts offering widgets and customisation to the extent of android then I would stay with android. If you use iTunes and have a lot of media then iPhone 5 might be better.

You're best staying with Apple as it sounds like you love that ecosystem. Throwing in another OS at this point could just bring complications unless you have a great urge for 100% customisation.
And I suspect an upgrade from a iPhone 4 to a iPhone 5 will be a lot more noticeable than 4 to a 4S.
