Which do you pick?

I was so ready to break up with Apple but now they've said I can have either or. The Iphone is marginally more expensive.

Help me!

Galaxy I think. I've heard people saying the iphone is too lightweight, or something.

iPhone. I wouldn't need 24hrs, I could make that decision in a split second.

I've had too many Samsung issues to ever go there again.

Iphone5. It would take me about 2 seconds to decide.

Samsung S3

Tbh I don't think there is much between them, it's purely a matter of which operating system you feel happier with. I have always been an iPhone user but have switched to S3 and am loving that too.

Jake, how was it leaving Apple? Was it a pain transferring all your data? Do you miss iPhones useability?

Samsung. I want a Galaxy Note that does both phone and tablet.

Having a 'phablet' is the way to go.

IPhone. Too many reliability issues with Samsung in the past to go anywhere near them again.

Tried note. Doesn't fit in my pants. And as you'll see in my note vs Galaxy thread, I don't want to store it up my fanjo just my pocket.



So ...... need a big screen for mnetting.

Samsung has a two year warranty, this is a big deal.
It needs to be tough too.

What issues did you have with Samsung?

Chaos. What word would you use to mean useability then?

Useability has useability about it as a word as you can see. So pray tell me what I can say to get the point across eruditely enough for your sensitive eyes? Grin

"useability" isn't a word.

"usability" is, though.

And iphone5, but that is at least partly because everything else in the house is Apple and I can't be doing with the faff of not being able to sync so easily, and having mine and my husband's diaries automatically being synced is worth its weight in gold!

But I thought Samsung was supposed to be the better phone? I thought Apple was meant to be for poncy people who value style over substance?
