I've been on Android since release date of the G1 and it was always annoying to see EVERYONE with that other phone, but since the s3 has launched I see nothing but the s3! Off the top of my head I count 8 people with the s3 (myself included) and another with a note 2 and plenty more eyeing the s3. I have 1 friend with a 5 phone and even he is getting fed up with that but he doesn't like the feel of Android, blah blah blah. In fact I've only seen one 5 in public. It's a bit refreshing now lol.
Have any of you experienced this?
Edit: My friend just moved back to CA after leaving the army, both him and his wife have the S3 (upgrade from iphones) and I noticed my new manager has a blue s3 sooo the count is up to 11. I'm still not seeing the 5 as much as figures would state.

I really don't pay that much attention but I have a friend who has owned every iphone, owns two Mac's and has an Apple sticker on their car (hipster) and when I took my phone out, she asked, "is that a galaxy s3?". I laughed and said yes. Changing apps on the home screen was amazing to her. It was like a person from the 1800's seeing a computer for the first time. It blew her mind. It was funny.

I live in NY where EVERYONE is on their cell phones during morning and evening commutes and notice the S3 just about everywhere now. To me, I see more S3's than iPhone 5's out there, and plenty are still on a 4s (including those I know personally).
I usually only see them at the gym but I don't really look when I'm usually out.

My wife has the 4s and she hates that hers is so small. I told her I would sell it to her for $200 and take her 4s and get her upgrade in a few months. The 4s looks like a play toy compared to this beast.

Agreed. Finally everyone is starting to learn and pick up on the advantages of android. More so, the sgs3 seems to get many compliments. I've talked to many iphone users that mention the sgs3 and how they're thinking about the switch. I really think people are getting tired of the same old boring ios.
I don't know how much of an impact this actually had, but the S3 was the last phone unlimited data users on verizon could upgrade to at a subsidized price. I feel this added to the perfect storm that was the S3's rise to popularity. I see them everywhere.

I don't think that was it. Majority of people aren't that concerned about unlimited data. I feel like most people had no idea of the new plans until they did actually upgrade. But it probably did make am affect for us techies.

So true....I personally know 5 people who own an S3. Seems to be about on par with how many iphone 5 users i know. Probably less actually, a few of them still have the 4s. (only other android phone I've owned where i noticed the same was back in the OG Evo days, some of these people still own one)
Two other people i know had an S3 but thought the phone was too big for their hands. One was my gf who i gladly traded my G Nex to. The other was my co worker, who upgraded from a 4s. He said the size and the fact that he couldnt group message with his iFriends made him switch to the 5. (rediculous i know)
I was very close this weekend to purchasing either the Note 2 or the Droid DNA. I just couldn't do it. The Note 2 just seems too big to fit in my jeans comfortably. The lack of an SD slot and removable battery is keeping me from the DNA. Definitely made me appreciate the S3 more.
Ive noticed the s3 creeping up on the iPhone with popularity. Most of the people I know still own iPhones which imho is an inferior machine. Ive seen the note 2 become pretty popular as well.
I'm just glad that Android is getting such a popular light lately. I really love my GSIII, but I am not brand specific. Many iPhone 5 users are typical sheep to climb the iPhone ladder. I had an OG Droid before getting the GSIII, and it was a huge leap for me as far as hardware upgrading. I waited and waited for the perfect phone to have exactly what I was looking for.There were like 3 phones I almost got before I held on and got the Galaxy. Same will happen when it's time to move to something new.
I'm happy that Apple's reign is over, though. Android is like that girl you know on the side, but you had been chasing down all of the wrong girls that treat you like **** and only stayed for sex. Then you realize that one girl was there all along and you ignored her. You finally saw her in the light as the one who was by your side and waited for you, and you two finally connect that feeling of love that had been there all along. This is what iPhone users are starting to feel.
Samsung really has done something genius with these new ads they push out. That's what's pulling in the iPhone people.

I always disliked the iPhone. It was original and cutting edge when it came out and has done but make slight upgrades and pump out phones since then. Im glad people are finally getting bored with have the same phone with the same capabilities, and android which has constantly worked on its product is becoming more popular.
I have actually. Feels good
Only 2 people I have seen with an iPhone 5 are my aunt and friend from high school who are die hard apple fans. Like seriously. No reasoning with them. Both even think android copied apple by the pull down notification and that by having the ability to change anything from icon to launcher is too much freedom.
Its like then why are you living in america, Russia or China sound like the place for you.

Well I was wondering what you guys think about this possible trade between me and a friend.
He offered me a jailbroken and unlocked white IPhone 3GS 32GB for my Samsung galaxy s 4g. I know the majority here are android fans but my intentions on this trade is for my wife, she needs a much simpler phone than an android. So please, any advice is greatly appreciated. I just want to make sure this is a fair trade, or if I'm getting an awesome deal, or even me getting ripped off..

According to the average Craigslist pricing here, 40 dollars. But you're losing quality here too. Android can be made into a dumb-phone so it shouldn't be too big a pain.

Lots of hate for iPhone around here. I believe they all have their strong and weak points. But logically the only reason to consider going to iPhone would be for the richness of the apps (not looking to start a war, but having used both, I simply find there to be more apps available for iPhone - now, not talking 3 or 6 months from now). But back to my point. If she wants a simple phone then she's not after apps. As far as simplicity goes, iPhone is simpler, simply because there is less choice. Its a little more closed. Really - I think the question you should be asking is Nexus vs a Blackberry instead of Nexus vs an iPhone though. I say sell your Nexus and put the money to a dumb phone with qwerty keyboard, or trade it for a BB. I'm thinking your wife wants a phone for communication primarly and this is what you mean by simple. I will stand my ground and say nothing - absolutely nothing beats a BB for txt'ing, email, and raw phone capabilities. Don't go with a Curve model or Torch - you should be able to trade someone straight across for a Bold 9780 in new condition.
Last note - you're looking at trading an 8 month old phone for one that's likely 2 years old. That alone indicates to me its not a "good deal".
Blackberries are terrible for everything aside from bbm...
I am all about android and would never use an Iphone, but I feel like that is a pretty good trade...
I wouldnt trade my galaxy s for an iphone 5.
Its a fair trade , ppl here are giving partial veiws. I myself is a Android user but I do know for a fact ios does suck at all, and specially for girls, its just the right phone.
success is directly proportional to hate, since more public is exposed to it,and human nature to look at negetives rather then positives. This applies to men , girls and I guess mobile and its platforma too ...lol

Assuming they're both in comparable condition they're around equal market value. From a hardware perspective the Galaxy smokes. From a usability perspective the iPhone wins.
For some reason, white devices tend to attract a little more attention, especially if they're for females.
I'm not an Apple fan by any means, but if I were in your position, buying for your reasons - I'd do it. Unless your wife is a geek. I'd make damn sure it was in good nick first, though.
Good luck.
I'd probably do it if it's what my wife wanted.
Not a bad idea.
what do you prefer the galaxy s2 or iphone 4s?
It's all preference I just don't like the feel of an iPhone to small and the glass breaks to easy, and ios can't really modify it to make it ur own.

Had iphone 4 over a year.....loved it jailbroke it, had all types of things going on...emulators, remote control, remote access, you name it I did it...I sold it after discovering iphone 5 was not being relased in October and decided to try Android.
The HTC Sensation was a great tablet but horrible phone...I knew Droid had great potential but I needed a better phone to bring out that experience
Enter the T989....
Coming from iphone 4, I had high standards. The Galaxy S2 not only performed as well if not better on the computer side, its actually turned out to be a better telephone.
Sound quality, bluetooth connectivity, ear speaker volume...speakerphone volume
It soars!
Screen quality...is actually very good. Last but not least Pentaband phone....research what that means
I can go on and on let's just say that I'm wirelessly tethering my laptop from my GS2 at 4G speed and enjoying every minute of it
Get this phone if you haven't already...you won't be dissapointed. It delivers every benefit you're looking for in spades
Thought about buying an iPad 2. Couldn't pull the trigger because of the thought of all I would be losing out on. Got a 10.1 Tab instead. Still in awe of it. So much so I got a GS2 yesterday. As a Sensation4G owner I have to say these phones aren't in the same league. Aside from a horrible firmware upgrade experience this phone is awesome. The i* products have nothing on these. The arguments about build quality aren't valid imo. Nothing about either of these devices feels cheap. Now I know why Apple is trying to stop Samsung from selling these. I'm probably going to buy a Samsung tv in a few weeks too.

i have to say that the opinions in this thread is actually very good. They're not biased and bashing iphones like how most of these turns out.
I would like to add that most people stayed with iphone over android because of battery life, but the gs2 battery life is actually really good. With the correct settings and combination of rom and kernel, the phone will outlast an iphone 4s.
another! 4g>>>>>3g
what most people miss about the iphone when going to the gs2 is the retina display. but come on... its a freaken huge screen lol, connect your gs2 to your tv and laugh at all the iphone users! muahahha jk.. not really.
well if your on tmobile, and using iphone u are sacrifycing your 4g speeds. iphone is a great phone. its just the screen is too small. i would use iphone, but without 4g and using edge, hell no lol
by functionality, Android, and that means SGS2 is better
a ton of people i work with have switched from various iphones (including the 4s) to the sgs2 and never looked back...

Why the sad face? On that page S2 clearly has better features although for some reason they seem to misunderstand ram as they say the iphone has more ram for playing games when it doesn't it only has more storage space.

but like funziebear said its all preference
Galaxy S2, mainly because it's android and you are note bound by the limits of iOS, but also because (I think) the look and feel of the phone are just better.
You should also consider the Galaxy Nexus by the way, it's imo the best phone on the market right now.
Depends on what you want
I do think that Apple products are a little easier to use for the average (non geek) person, I suspect they are designed that way. And there is something to be said for that, but Android is more powerful and more flexible. I can't think of anything the Iphone can do that the S2 can't do equally well or better, at least with the appropriate apps.
Yeah I dont bash on iPhone that's what started my whole "smartphone" experience, I just don't care for it anymore haha I'll still work on them and jailbreak for friends so I'm still western of all it's updates and features I don't care to go back

Damn you iPhone for ruining the general section of the S3! Now please disappear so we can can go back to discussing the S3. Wonder if when the S3 or new Android device gets released if iPhone forums get filled up with posts about it.
You know what...honestly...I was happy to hear the new iPhone had a 4 inch screen, that is until I saw it was narrow as ****. It is the exact same width as the 4/4s but with a taller screen.

To be fair, having owned an iPhone 4 for a few months back at its launch date, the camera on that phone for raw PQ far out does many phones on the market today.
My dad has the 4s and IMHO it takes better quality pictures, but is very limited in options. A side by side shot between his and mine I will loose every time.
To say the 5 will be better camera wise, going by specs I believe it, but you cannot say for sure until it has been tested.

That I'm now buying an iPhone 5. I was an original iPhone guy, but went when they went glass to the Aria...then the Inspire...and the Inspire is quite possibly the worst phone ever. No ROMs can help it. Complete garbage. Anyone else done with Android or jumping ship over the Inspire's terribleness?
I might be able to see why you would show discontent with the Inspire. I personally think its the battery life, weight, and lack of front camera that brings it down. Although I've played with iPhones in the past, and I can't consider this this being close the worst phone. I can still make it last for a day with above moderate usage, and have grown accustomed to the weight. More than enough to make me satisfy the whole contract, which has about half a year longer. Can you go a bit more detailed in why you hate it?
it's funny I was just telling my boy the other day how this is best phone I've ever had! 2 years and still going strong...i like the weight.
I couldn't agree any more with you DPLOY. I love this phone. It doesn't feel flimsy, has plenty of processing speed and does pretty much anything you could want. That and I like playing with different ROMs all of the time.

It's the best phone I've ever had. Like the construction, the way it feels in my hand and the heft. When I drop it in the cargo pocket on my pants I keep having to check and make sure it's there, so the weight can't be that bad. I did my homework before I got it and knew the battery was on the small side, so I'm not going to complain that I have to plug it in once or twice a day.
And ROMs? Kept it on stock Sense for a couple of months, then rooted and flashed CM7. Since then I've gone to Ice Cold Sandwich and am now running JellyTime. Each one has been better than the last. And my ancient single-core Inspire is still faster, on most tasks, than my friends 4S's. Every time one of them shows me some neato thing on their iPhone I'm reminded again how thoroughly unimpressed I am with Apple's products. It's not that they're bad phones, they're just not all that impressive.
But if my Inspire WAS the worst phone ever, if it went nuts and ate all my personal info, sent all my contacts an F U text message and then caught fire and exploded in my pants pocket it would not be enough to make me send any of my money to Cupertino. Their product is nice, if a little bland, but their business practices are abhorrent.
If I ever get tired of Android (and after a couple of weeks on Jelly Bean I don't see that happening any time soon), Windows 7 is a darn nice OS. And Windows 8 looks even better.
But hey, if you hate it that much, send it to me. One of my boys would be happy to have it.
IMO, the Inspire was the best phone ive ever owned also. I started off with the very first iphone, then the 3g, 3gs, then 4. Basically ive owned every iphone out. Then i decided to try android and fell in love. Started with the captivate, had an atrix, then went to the inspire. I tried other phones also like the infuse, galaxy s2, vivid, and skyrocket and eventually ended up going back to the inspire. This phone runs perfect (smoothness, performance, and battery life) with the right rom, kernel, and radio set up. Only if the inspire had a FFC, thats the only thing the phone lacks..

You just have to know what your doing. The iPhone is made for your type so it will probably be the better choice for you. Android is made for people that want to be able to decide what their phone can or can't do, and have the tech knowledge to achieve it. IPhone is garbage and apple is a terrible company that stifles innovation. Iphones only good purpose is to make smart phones accessible to my grandma.

The iphone is basically a simple phone. I believe that the hype behind it is just because the apple name. Coming from the experience of being both iphone and Android owner there is so much more I can do with my android that I could not do with the apple. So in my opinion the apple is just an overpriced useless piece of crap, a suped up ipod thats all. I am completely amazed with my Inspire.
Terrible Phone??? Really?
The Inspire is a terrible phone??? Yet no comments on what made it terrible. Aside from the fact that HTC decided to give the phone a slightly inadequate battery, the phone has been great. For a single core it has been great. Once I got it rooted it was an excellent phone. I love the fact that I have so many options for this phone. If I want apps, music, or videos I can download direct, get from the market, or get from outside sources. With apple you have one choice...itunes...which I can't stand.

Inspire with ICS... a sight for sore eyes. It's a great little phone when you get all of the bloat off of it. I've had mine for two years and now I'm giving it to my girlfriend to replace her iPhone because she's done with Apple and it's lockdown on everything you pay for. I've personally had four different ROMs on it and each had pros and cons. They've all been top notch though... ICS has been the best easily by far (but that probably has something to do with being an completely different operating system than Gingerbread).

You're right... typo!
IMO, one of the best single core phones ever. The amount of ram this phone has. I run Gingerbeast and have a little over 400mb free. This was my first Android, coming from the iPhone 3GS and a 4. I'm never looking back. I've had this baby since release and still love it!
Go enjoy your new toy phone.
I have the s2 and I love it but its starting to get slow and bogged down. I have 1 upgrade credit and im wondering is the S3 a good phone to get? Im through ATT.... I want it bad and the S2 rocked so much... I do lots of **** on my phone use it a ton for everything anjy thoughts on phones name some good ones? what about iphone5 compared to s3

Skyrocket is an S2. Need to go to the S3 forums and ask there. And almost no one here will recommend you go to Iphone unless they hate you.

Its an interesting question and honestly there isnt anything WRONG with the iPhone 5, but it comes down to, do i want to spend $180 , or save that $$$$ and get something like the Skyrocket or S3 which is just as good if not better.
Im not gonna sit here and bash the iPhone because it is a good product, but like most apple products are not cost effective.
Save that money and buy groceries or something with it man.

My friend has an S3. He went over to his parent's house recently after his dad bought an iPhone5. They did some comparisons and then my friend laughed as his dad rather sullenly acknowledged that the S3 was easily the superior phone.
my impressions when comparing said phones
galaxy s=iphone 4
galaxy s2=iphone 5
galaxy s2sr=iphone 6?
small screens suck for a smartphone, apple should of went larger on their screens and to mention that we can mod the frack out of our phones.
people still cant believe how nice it is to view the browser on my sr w/the larger screen compared to their iphone 5, compare the 5 to the s3....fugetaboutit

Your just about spot on. I don't "hate" the iPhone, I just find that it is more of a child's toy than the rest. However back to the OP.
Keep the SR for now, wait until next quarter when "supposedly" the S IV is supposed to be released. However having both the S2 SR, and the S 3, I love the S 3 immensely over the SR.
xxsicknessxx--do you have an SR now, or the regular S2? If you have the regular S2, moving to the SR isn't worth it. If you already have the SR and are thinking of the S3, I would just wait and upgrade to an S4 when it comes out. In the meantime, root and flash a ROM on your phone. It will give your phone some new life, IMO. :good:
As for the iPhone 5, to each their own, but it would feel like a letdown for me if I were to move to that.
My gf S3 on stock ICS(haven't updated to JB as yet) is a bit laggy, but I have played with my friends S3 with a custom rom and it's definitely worth it. I personally would wait for the next waves of phone releases though. They are definitely worth the wait.

That's why I was suggesting to root and flash a ROM, especially if that ROM is JB. My wife also has a SR, and after putting a ROM in mine (CM10 stable), has no lag, while hers feels sluggish with stock ICS. A wipe/factory reset might help hers a little, but seeing the TW skin and all the carrier bloat turns me off.
Woah woah woah now. I stopped reading anything below the op as soon as gee asked about the iphone 5 lol...... Really op? Why do you have an xda account everyone here is droid nerds
