iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 vs Lumia 900? What phone should I get? 10pts best answer?

[Farhan]

I'm going to get a new phone soon. I've been a iPhone user for about 4 years now. I like galaxy s3 and the lumia 900 but I'm afraid I'll lose all my apps and music I bought from iTunes and the apple store. Anyway, what phone do you think would be the most suitable for me? Also, can you tell me what each phone is good for? (ex. texting, Facebook, etc.)

Ok. First of all Nokia Lumia that's already out doesn't compare. If you are a person who likes a lot of features and a customizable [hone then get the S3 but if you will need the app store a lot definitely go for iPhone 5. In my opinion Apple will always be #1 so I vote iPhone but it's your choice! And iPhone 5 will now be Facebook integrated!

I don't know too much about the lumia 900 so you will not see any stuff about it in my comment. I'm sure there is way to transfer your iTunes to a media player. the Android play any type of media Player on their phones.

What phone is better? It depends on what you want and look for in a phone. If you want a phone that obviously makes phone calls, you do a little text messaging, a little but of Web browsing, no watching videos on Netflix or YouTube, want a decent camera, and a simple phone. Then get the IPhone 5.

If you want a phone that obviously makes phone calls, do a lot of text messaging, a lot of Web browsing, watch movies on Netflix and YouTube, Facebook, has a good camera, play games, big screen, and is customizable. Then get the Galaxy S3 or the Galaxy Note 2. The Android phones always had Facebook integrated with there OS Systems.

The Galaxy S3 US version has a 1.4 GHz Dual Core processor, 2G of RAM, 4.8 inch 1280x720 16:9 aspect ratio screen, 2100mAh battery, 64G expandable micro SD slot on top of a 16G-32G internal memory, picture in picture (you can watch your movie at the same time your text messaging), 4G LTE, swipe technology (means you can text words without having to take your finger off the screen for each letter. You might have to google it for better description), and more.

Me personally I like big screen phones and will be getting the 5.5 inch Galaxy Note 2 with a 1.6 GHz Quad Core processor, 2G of RAM, 16G-32G-64G internal memory, up to 64G external micro SD slot, removable 3100 mA battery, SPen, supports JAVA, has google talk now, YouTube, google search engine, google maps, customizable screen, great camera (with 20 picture burst and as fast as you hit the button it takes the picture just as fast), picture in picture (means you can continue to watch your movie while you text message), Sbeam for sharing pictures instantly, you can share pictures to people that are on the same wifi you are on, put things on any smart TV with wifi connection from your phone, swipe technology, screen shot movie to make corrections to grafts or emails and send it back to the person also has sound, you can write on the back of your digital pictures, actually sign your email, organize your pictures in to folders, does the same stuff as the Galaxy S3, and more stuff. That's why I'm getting the Galaxy Note 2 oh and it fits just fine in my pocket. The screen also moves the keyboard over to the left or right off the phone so you can easily do one handed text messaging. . I would say go to YouTube and look it up. They have so much more stuff then what the IPhone 5 has it would be a long list.

I was very disappointed in the new IPhone 5. If you have an IPhone 4 or 4s you should just stay with it. Siri isn't really worth getting if your coming from the IPhone 4. The IPhone 5 has minimum upgrades from the 4S. They should have called it IPhone 4SL (L stands for long). The new new an upgrade features for the iPhone 5 from the 4s are IOS 6 (the 4 and 4s will be getting too), A6 chip (which is slower then the new Android phone the Galaxy Note 2 and all other Quad Core processors coming out), updated Seri, 4G LTE, 4 inch screen, 3D mapping (Android has had for years), turn by turn navigation (Android also had for years), little upgrade for the camera like panoramic picture (another thing Android had for years), a little bit bigger battery (3.7v instead of 3.6v and 1445 mA instead of 1435 mA), 3 microphones instead of 2, a smaller power charger (which makes all your other charger and docking ports irrelevant), No google search engine, No YouTube, and No Google Maps. Apple is going to charge around 30 dollars for each adapter you buy. Google dropped their stuff from Apple. Like I said minor upgrade.

I feel that Apple is behind on the technology side. They have been on cruise control. The new stuff they came out on the IPhone 5, Android has had for a few years now. Apple is also very restrictive on what you can put on their phone and what you can do with their phone. Android is open to what you can do to their phones.

The Galaxy Note 2 will not be out till around October 21st if you are now interested in that phone. But again it's all about what you are looking at in a phone. If you like the big screens get the Galaxy S3 and or the Galaxy Note 2. I tested out the Original Galaxy Note which is a 5.3 inch 16:10 aspect ratio to see if it would fit in my pocket. It fits perfectly fine in my pocket and even in my dress uniform. definitely youtube the galaxy S3 and the Galaxy Note 2 for more of their features. Also go to the store and see what feels right in your hand. Hope this helps you out.
