There's no guarantee that the Samsung Galaxy S3 is going to be good though is there.

I have an iPhone 3GS. I was about to get an iPhone 4 when it launched as i'm very happy with my iPhone - the only things i don't like are the camera quality & the fact there's no flash. Other than this, i'm happy. So then the iPhone 4 had all those issues with the signal (& before you tell me you have no problem - i tested one & the signal DID drop).
The iPhone 4S is essentially the same.

I'd get a Galaxy S2, but as you say, the S3 is on its way.

So personally i'm waiting to see how the S3 & iPhone5 turn out after they've been out a while

I confirm the 4s signal is 200% better than the 3gs and the 4's as i have all 3 and have tested them all at once in different locations

OP - what specifically don't you like about the iPhone?

Knowing this might make the advice you receive a bit more accurate for you...

I dont like the fact that i cant turn the bluetooth to invisible like you can with nokia.

Also dont like the fact that when someone text you the text shows on the screen, when it is locked (requires passcode) this should not happen in my view.

Both the above could probuably be solved in a software update if apple wanted to.

Other things that bother me is the fact you need to sign a contract to set up the phone, sign a contract to set up iTunes and the fact you are tied to iTunes.

Also it does not have a FM radio.

But wheather the samsung would be better i dont know.

No idea about the bluetooth issue but you can edit the text settings so the actual text body doesn't show in the notification. (Forgot how though!)

Can also download lots of free radio apps so you can listen to whatever station you like.

Unless you have unlimited data allowance you have to be very cautions with internet radio - like with any streaming.
