Lots of people making a mass exodus from iPhone to Android these days. Probably a pretty good reason for that.

been a bigger fan of the samsung s3 with an otterbox, probably the best phone on the market at the moment
Be careful with the iphone 5, the screens are much more brittle. I've had many friends drop it just once and then the screen is useless. It's now replaceable for $300... I keep hearing great things about the Galaxy S3 or whatever it is.
The SGS3 gets a lot of attention but be sure to check out the HTC Evo LTE. I've had both & the HTC phone is a better device.
Edit: that statement is obviously carrier specific so find out the name of the device for your carrier. The phone's generic name is the HTC One.

I would HIGHLY suggest this as well. The new DNA is a phenomenal device. One of my buddies who was a devout iPhone user for many years had recently purchased one when he say how little the iPhone 5 had offered him over his beloved iPhone 4. Since he asked me right when the DNA was released and was a VZW customer I told him to give it a look and I thought he might like it. He updated me a few days into owning it and said he had listened to me earlier as it was a better device in every way than any iPhone he had ever used. He just thought that I was an Android fanboi the way he was an Apple fanboi. Now that he has come to the dark side he sees that it was a neutral decision that brought me to Android in the first place. His words, not mine.Quote:

With an Otterbox, my DNA is the same thickness if not thinner than my previous phone. Just something to think about.
So what did you get
Well he did say in his DIY'ers thread that he is a cheap bastard so probably thisQuote:

Good for you wise decision in both waiting and saving money plus you can also demo the new one before your final decision.
I figure we both already have 4g phones. We aren't in desperate need for new phones other than the fact we can go through batteries pretty dang quick. But we have chargers all over the place so no big deal
I voted for the 5. But It's helpful if you're fully integrated in the Apple universe. I also admit to being pretty drunk on the iKOOL AiD.

Come to the Darkside Sniper... we have open source software.
I gave up on un-brainwashing people years ago. It's just so much easier to enjoy amazing mobile devices w/o worrying about converting others like it's a religion. Most Apple users couple learn something from that.Quote:

In fondling different devices, comparing specs, and just doing research in general, I've come to the conclusion that when you take all things into consideration, and put comparable devices against one another (i.e. the latest and Greatest from each company), arguing smart phones is like arguing pistols, it all comes down to personal preference. I don't think the newest Samsung, Motorola, or iPhone is better than my HTC, but I bet they all perform about the same. I've become not only a loyal android user, but an HTC user as well. They work very well, and the layout of the phone remains relatively unchanged from phone to phone, so I don't have to relearn the device every time. Just my humble opinion on the smart phone battle.
I don't think my iPhone is better than your droid. It's just better for me. We play well together. I hated on Apple for quite a while after a poor experience with the original iMac. Swore off Apple for years. Gave them a second chance and now I'm an Apple whore. Works for me.
Well, there's always Blackberry...:p
Lol, I said the BB word in the Verizon store, and I swear the "music" stopped and all employees stared at me. My wife likes blackberry and I was wondering if there was anything new from them I could get for her, apparently not lol.Quote:

personally, I say iphone 5. I ended up getting a 5 because all of my friends have 4's or newer, my job issued me a 4s for work purposes and about 90% of the people I work with have Iphones. the compatibility is just to nice to have.
Well here's an update for you...my wife dropped her phone in the washer. The new I phones aren't out. 16gb iPhone 5 for $200 a piece....or $150 for a RAZR Max HD plus an extra $50 off and my wife wanted the RAZR HD for only $49.99 plus I bitched about a few things and got $20 off our bill for the next 2 months.
No iPhone here! RAZR Maxx HD and loving the battery life! Not to mention 32gb and expanded 16gb sim card from my old phone.
Wife got an otter box commuter series in pink. I want one in camp but they only make red white and black....meh.
If it had to be 1 of the 3 then the Razr. But as I can have any smart phone I went for the HTC One. It syncs my work email and calendar so it's great for me.
