    I'm joining this a little late but have to ask... What brought you to these two handsets only? I mean, there are tonnes of phones out there at the moment yet your choice just so happens to be the two phones that are currently most popular. Based on specifications alone there are several other options at much lower prices. The HTC One X has great hardware on par with the Galaxy S III and is going dirt cheap atm. The Nokia Lumia 800 and 900 have similar appeal to the iPhone in some respects (smooth to use, different OS). Again these phones are going dirt cheap at the moment. From a money saving view the S3 and the iPhone are probably the two most expensive phones out there. Are you really looking at a phone that suits your needs?
  • a bit of both because those phones are attractive to me looked lumia and htc x but both were not attractive enough for me

    so galaxy or iphone for me earthworm
  • but yes your correct in terms of money saving view

    I have a samsung galaxy and OH has a iPhone we are both very happy, they are more similar than different and both are very good.

    The galaxy came with more software preloaded (that can be good or bad), but simialar apps tpo those that were preloaded could be obtianed from the apple store.

    Many apps can be obtianed on both android and iphone shops, but some are only on one, so there is a slight different here.

    OH Likes the iPhone as it also syncs with iPad etc.

    I like andriod perosnally as I find it easier to use.

    OH had to call apple tech support to help recently and they were extremely good.

    Best thing is to go play with them in the shop and see which you like the best as there are advatages and disadvatages to both
  • thanks for that Amy sound advice ;)
