The missus was mad keen on getting a Iphone then I said ok pop down the phone shops and check all the phones out, she went to the Vodafone shop which had not one Apple on demo but untold amounts of the Samsung s3 to use. Now she is of course a Pinay so hardly a big person so i thought she prefer the Iphone but after handling the S3 and realising how thin it is and how much bigger the screen is she is not saying she is not interested in a Iphone as they do look like a kids phone.
Using a diddy phone like that for Video watching or calling or of course for sat nav is not so good she has informed me. I am still encouraging her to play on both phones in the shops and on my nexus (same size) so she is sure she can use easily..

Plus you can watch a video while smsing or using other apps at the same time rather than jumping from one function to another. I mentioned the iphone next edition is out this autumn and looks like it will have a bigger screen due to the purchases of larger touch screens being bought out in asia but she seems to be S3 set now. Even peer power could not persuade her with many friends having Iphones in fact she said hmm they a bit common now

She also like many of her friends is keeping her Blackberry as her comms phone as it does what you really need from a phone ie calling people and communicating via various message services better than anything else on the market as a rule plus the battery life is days not possibly most of a day

Just saying im not in to Apple better than android arguments at first i wanted her on Apple even though i would never use one myself as they are more simple not many settings to fiddle with phones.

Only problem with the S3 is the touch whizz over the top of the ICS, the pure ICS or soon to be Jellybean looks awesome on the Galaxy Nexus.

Ps if your only getting 12 hours on your Iphone you must be using and abusing it lastlid :O I get 13 14 hours out of my Nexus as measured by carat when caining the phone and its functions easily more (a day and a bit) if i switch off the work email sync and go gentle
