Yeah, I bought a S3 tonight and I was totally surprised at how thin it was. I bought a case because I am pretty prone to dropping shit and I also wanted to add a bit of thickness and weight to the phone. It's still goddamn slick though. I can't believe a phone this big fits so well in my pocket and is so light.

That being said; I don't feel like I need to carry a brick around in my pocket so I don't drop it. It'll take a bit of adjusting; but I'm sure handling this phone will be no problem.

You really might be the only one that wants to carry around a phone that needs a case manufactured by LL Bean to support it.

I preordered the phone early Friday morning and I'll get it on first shipment. Wife is getting one as well since her 3Gs needs a massive upgrade. If Amazon wasn't going to give me 395 for my 4s, I would have held off.

Picked up my Iphone today at the Sprint Store off 135th and Blackbob. Pretty sweet phone thus far, I'm coming off an EVO 4G, first edition, and this thing blazes by it as most phones nowadays would I suppose. The thing that pissed me off is that they only had 64GB Black phones, and everything else was in white that was in stock and I had heard there was about 100 people outside the Apple store so F going somewhere else when I was fourth in line.

A couple things:

It is light... holy shit is it light. Get a case to heavy it up.

The screen doesnt seem to be made out of the same stuff my Ipad 3 screen is so it takes some more wipes from the cloth to get out smudges, but just a few more.

Pictures are amazing and so is video and the fact that I can now just click and share to facebook easier than before makes it a very nice edition.

The overall thing is that who cares is you like Apple or who cares if you like Android, do what you do. I had the first generation Iphone, thing was awesome for the 2 years I had it, I then went to the EVO 4G for the past 2.5 years, and now I'm back to Iphone. Honestly this phone is a bit on the small side, so I'm sure when my contract is up again I'll go back to Andriod, one of their huge phones probably. I'm happy with my purchase, I know it'll have some little nuances, but I was due for an upgrade and this was the phone that was new at the time so I snagged it.

For me personally, this phone is superior to any Android phone I had. I can't picture ever going back. Yes, I understand some features on Android are better. However, I just think the 5 is superior to any cell that I would use in my every day life.

I feel the same way, but opposite.

Its just a matter of personal preference.

Hilarious Samsung commercial today mocking you iPhone sheep that love to wait in line to get a subpar phone that you can't customize.

I didn't wait in line, nor am I stupid enough to know that you can't customize it.

Ive owned both platforms multiple times. I love both for different reasons.

Androids obviously customizable you can do things i like like emulators and such

Iphones are just easier to use. And they were the only phones that could take screencaps before the new androids. They also have better battery life and dont feel cheap.

I do hate how apple always takes a "madden" approach to where they dont improve much year to year but they know "iSheep" will buy them anyway.

I have an iphone 4 right now. In a few months ill probably have an android lol im always going back and forth. Before this i had an s2 skyrocket which i absolutely loved and had no intention of getting rid of but i tried messing with it and bricked it.

Are the Apple true-believers actually doing a disservice to themselves by lining up for marginally better phones? Does this make Apple complacent?

L.A. Chieffan 09-24-2012 09:50 AM

Its not marginal dude. It owns.

Pablo 09-24-2012 10:23 AM

I asked my boss how he liked his new iPhone and it was a resounding meh.
