Ok the postman(actually city-link but infact the next door neighbor) just delivered this, I was wondering are they any good? CLICK

Any way I have an iPhone 4s already as some of you know so I will now be able to give my full honest unbiased comparisons of the 2. Being one of very few on here that have and can show evidence of owning both.

It actually came yesterday but we were at Alton Towers. It was left with a neighbour who only popped it round 15 mins ago.

I'd suggest you pop it on eBay as you have been very vocal about disliking android.

Might be sensible to advise you stop spending your hard earned cash on tech that you don't want !?

I thought those linked to education were always striking and complaining they didn't get paid enough and needed more holidays etc

You worry about your cash, I will worry about mine. But at £26 a month or £6.50 a week its a bargin. An that's without me ringing up in a few months to complain about signal and getting £5 a month off.

Everywhere else the phone is around £149 at £26 a month.

Anyway the TAB-7 an S2 are going on ebay, leaving me with just the Nexus7 S3 and my Apple devices.

So far it feels like a small TAB-7, Not as smooth as the iPhone but I've literally only started it up set it up and set up a Google play account.

Screens very bright though. Although I keep my iPhone screen on a low brightness so will drop this one down to.

Yes mine was a little sluggish at first, but after everything had time to setup it runs very smooth.

The brightness is too much for me so I have it on the lowest setting or sometimes on auto brightness.

I've had mine for about 2 months now and I still find myself discovering new great features almost everyday lol

Yeah send it back - I hate to break it to you but it is an Android device

The phone you crave is an iPhone (note it has an Apple rather than Samsung on the back), apparently its a common mistake

Give her a chance to decide for herself. Everyone has their own preference, so just wait and see.

Nothing so funny as a spectacularly failing troll thread.

I've just had an iphone 5 delivered early have to say it's a bit rubbish.

Once you get jelly bean on it you will find everything much smoother.

In terms of its capabilities, it kicks an iPhone 4S out of the park,especially its camera and processor.
It's also far more flexible in the way you can personalise the device's appearance, and because you can have widgets which work right in front of you, instead of having to tap through icons, it's also a more 'immediate' experience. Add in the facts that more apps are free-of-charge on Android, that you can change out the battery and expand the memory, there's simply no contest. The iPhone 5 is going to have to be pretty damned special to beat it.

The downside? Possibly iPhones are more reliable, and the way IOS restricts what you can do with it also makes iPhones easier-to-use, so there will be a bit of a learning curve.(You'll doubtless be finding that out right now.)

No earning curve, We have a few Android devices around the house.

She had already said she dislikes Android. Why would the S3 change her mind? Verdict: Troll

Ok firsty I didn't start 24 month contract to troll you lol, I'm not an Android fan but the deal is too good to miss.

A free quad core S3 for £26 a month? Its a very cheap way of find out if I can get on with 4.7" screen and hopefully it will get JB soon.

But most importantly my opinions on both with be valid. I own iPhone 4s and S3, to be fair its its just like a small tab-7.

Keep in mind though I have 7 days i which to return it due to distance selling laws, at which point T-mobile will try to make the contract more appealing I'm sure

Funny you should choose to highlight the camera as both handsets use the same Sony-manufactured sensor.

Yes, but the way the camera is implemented, things like burst-mode for instance, give it an edge.

That doesn't make them the same. Both cameras are good, and both have features that are better than the other, but I much prefer the SGS3 camera.
