MrIanB said:Take it from an iPad owner and android Galaxy S3 owner. There is nothing new in the iPhone 5 that the GS3 can't do other than retina display. If you like Apple and need bigger screen, then go for it. Otherwise there are more android phone options for the same or lesser price. Just go to store and try them all.

I don't think the connector is a big deal, they have an adapter to the old 30 pin, for older accessories.
No one has explained what that change gained, but for me, it seemingly stacks up like a "no deal".chris1howell said:New propritary connector: Fail
MrIanB said:Someone correct me if I am wrong but, the retina display really only comes to play when you want to take that phone picture and enlarge it without seen pixels as you enlarge it. To me a cell phone pix is just a pix, I do not print or anything. It is a memory of the moment.
I went from iphone 3g to HTC Evo to Galaxy S3 and never looked back. I like customizing my phone since I bought it with whatever I want. I don't need Apple or anyone else limiting what I can do to MY phone.

The device feels great, based on the short period of time I was able to touch one without security taking me down. ;-) It fits nicely in your hand, and feels lighter than it should. (FYI: I have no interest in giant screens on phones, so I have no complaints about the 4" 'taller' screen upgrade that I can still operate with one hand.) It may not be game changer geek phone, but this is a near perfect upgrade of the iPhone as the masses know it.
Of course not, esp. since you recently got a new phone. However, if you're out of contract and have an older phone, like me (with a 4), like iOS, it makes some sense to upgrade to get a better camera, finally get Siri, faster CPU, LTE, etc. It's not like the iPhone 5 will get any cheaper until right before the next gen launches. No sense in my holding out for 3 years w/my iPhone 4.TomT said:Nothing there that would make me even remotely consider changing from my Galaxy S3 (now with Jelly Bean)...
FWIW, I upgraded from an iPhone 3G to a 4, right after launch and I don't care about the terminology and whether it qualifies as a "retina display", but the resolution of the 4 vs. the 3G (and 3GS) was amazing leap forward. It was better than any other smartphone available, at the time.MrIanB said:Someone correct me if I am wrong but, the retina display really only comes to play when you want to take that phone picture and enlarge it without seen pixels as you enlarge it.

I didn't think it sucked that badly. I'm one of those who hasn't broken any dock connectors on either end.grommet said:The old dock connector really, really sucked. (I don't know one person that hasn't broken one.) It was time for it to die. (10 years old?)
