Anyone going from the SGS II to the iPhone 5? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Just posting a question as I want to know and hear if anyone is even contemplating on making a switch? I'm no iPhone fanboy and think the Samsung Galaxy S 3 surpasses the iPhone 5 on many levels. :good:
Edit: The title states Samsung Galaxy S II but I meant III

I am but i will keep my sg3 as well as my one x.

How dare you. This is an insult to the galaxy s2 which despite being a little old, is way better than the iPhone 5

I won't be switching to the iPhone 5 because I love T-Mobile, I love tinkering with Android, and because I love my SIII.
However, everyone keeps going on about how it looks the same as the 4s and I just can't agree with this. Yes, the front looks the same (just longer) but they really have updated the features that I hated about the 4/4s. For example, I thought it was ridiculous that they made the back of the 4 and 4s glass. It looked lame and was just one more piece to easily break. I also didn't like the silver bezel (not a fan of it on the SIII either).
Now that the bezel is black and the back of the phone is no longer glass, I am actually a fan of it. I especially like that it is a bit thinner than the 4/4s and skinnier than the SIII.
If I was a big iTunes user, needed my phone to seamlessly work with my Macbook Pro (Android sucks at this), and enjoyed the simplicity of IOS I would probably get it. But I'm definitely sticking with Android. The SIII is the most solid phone I've ever owned.

Apple says the gs3 basically is an iPhoneso I got the best iPhone already

True that the SGS 3 might be like the iPhone 5, but I would take the SGS 3 over the 5 any day. The only nice thing I like about the 5 is the aluminum body and how solid it feels (if its anything like the 4). Other than that, they can have it

Why would you want to downgrade phones? Isn't the whole point of getting a NEW phone to UPgrade? iPhone 4SXL is lame...

OP just set himself up...

I Phone 3.5
I left Verizon and iPhone for this marvelous phone. Also there was a big progress from iPhone 3 to 4, compared to that, 4S seems like regressed version , so I would call it I phone 3.5 and when the I Phone 5 comes I am not getting that either, I made a mistake of going from Android to iPhone...never again.
Why would anyone switch from this to an iPhone?...

No way. Never had an iphone and probably never will. Trying to talk my wife out if it though.

Nope, this phone is perfect for me, I have no desire for anything different... esp the iPhone.
IPhone isn't even a remote possibility based on the size of the screen alone. Itunes is another dealbreaker. Having to jailbreak it just to do half the things I can do on Android without rooting pushes the iPhone option into the furthest reaches of the galaxy.
I'd rather be run over by two chimpanzees in a hot rod than touch an iPhone again.

Nope. My Olivia Wilde wallpaper will probably look like trash on an iPhone.
Plus, I just found out that auto brightness is stupid and wastes a lot of battery...And I also found out that 50% brightness is all you need to be able to see the screen outside.
Nope..
I just don't like the way Apple doing business. No i-anything in my household.
Android already has app drawer... No need for an iphone.
I would if it wasn't so locked down
Hate them but their stuff lasts
Samsung Galaxy S Dos indeed

My wife is a long time Samsung junky so after having problems with her HP laptop we ended up replacing it with a tiny 12" Samsung laptop and it has been amazing. Battery easily lasts 5-6 hours and its very lightweight but powerful. We are very happy with it.
Same with our two S3s, Samsung 3D LED TV, Samsung 3D BluRay, 6x Samsung 3D Glasses, Samsung 3D Sound Bar...she really is a Samsung junky. I expect when we move to a bigger place it will also be Samsung washer and drier and definitely a Samsung fridge... I dont mind though. They make sexy products!

What do you mean notification light being a deal breaker? It was confirmed to have one weeks ago and if you don't want it, just disable it?
A notification light is far from anything that could deal break me.

Metal was so 2009. With newer, lighter and tougher materials like carbon fiber, you aren't going to see many more phones with any type of metal in them. Yes, regular "plastic" can have a cheap feel. But there are lots of newer process we are seeing on these materials that can give it a high quality look and even better feel than metal. Even so, I don't think the Nexus 4 displays much of a high quality look to it. My guess is Google is trying to keep the costs down to make it affordable in the Play Store.
