I used to have an iPhone 3G, however since then I have had various android devices, a Desire then a GS2.
I do much prefer the look of andoid and the various launchers that most manufacturers have added over the top over the original one. IE Sense and Touchwiz. Samsung have made a lot of changes to touchwiz for the GS3 and some neat little shortcuts mostly involving gestures.
eg swipe across the screen with the side of your hand and it takes a screen shot. Holding the phone to your ear while on a contact or in the messaging app will call that person without pressing any buttons.
While I have an iPad I would never go back to iOS for my phone. I have fallen in love with android too much and how flexable and customizable it is. Don't like the font, simple download new ones from the store.
Don't like the keyboard, go get a new one from the store. There are o many things you can do without even having to root the phone.
Apps wisw android now has almost all the bigs games and apps that were on iOS previously. GTA3 looks so impressive as does Real Racing 2 although RR2 isn't yet compatible with the GS3.
Anything else?

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
I suppose you don't have an iTunes collection to move across?

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
I do have a very large iTunes collection of music, movies and apps but they are either on my iPad or my iPod nano. Don't use my phone for music.
The GS3 also has a fantastic video app built in, it plays everything without any issues, even 1080p HD mkv files! So I sometimes load TV shows or movies onto the phone. Used to do the same with my GS2.

I think I can just drag the files across. I like the podcast apps on Android so i'll probably use that.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
Yip, if I ever put new ringtoes or music/movies, its just a case of plugging in so it shows as a USB drive and then dropping the files on to it.

Yeah, seems like there are a good few applications for music playing as well. Google Music might eventually come out over here and solve that problem as well.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
I am also tempted by the HTC One X. I've heard it's a better interface/skin that keeps with Android 4.0's conventions and sprit.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
The stock interface isn't that nice on the HTC One X, but a nice little Launcher would sort this out.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
Sense isn't that special anymore. Samsung stripped back touchwiz for the S3 and it's really good.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
I got it! The Galaxy that is! Going to spend a lot of time getting used to android and the phone. I am going to get a MicroSD Card but need advice, is it worth going for the performance ones or not? Do they make a difference?

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
What do you need the memory for?
Mainly Music?
