One more thing, mine is 3D and it is great. I have heard the same thing BUT for $100.00, it is definately worth it.

Instead we get S Voice, which actually does everything quite well. You should see me and GG having little contests to see which one works better between Siri and S Voice.
Oh and one more thing. The darn phone is WAY FASTER.

What do you think about texting? To me, it seemed different than the Iphone. Not sure if it was better or worse. Also, something that I may have set up wrong, on the SG3, when you dial a favorite number, you have to press the name, then press the number. On the Iphone you press the name and it dials it automatically. I think this was one of my biggest dissapoitments on the SG3. BUT, I could have had it set up wrong.

Just look at your phone and it unlocks.
JB covered most of them. Another one for me is the Chrome to Phone app for Android, I love it and it makes it so much easier. Also, not having to deal with iTunes for moving pictures to and from my laptop is a huge plus for me.
Another is screen size. A lot of people say it's unnecessary but once you use it, you cant go back to a smaller screen.
You can go to your favorite numbers, and then swipe to the right for a phone call, or swipe to the left for a text message. Pretty simple actually, it it allows me to not have to worry about which name I am pressing.

I forgot about that one. Genius setup if you ask me with Chrome to phone. Plus having to use iTunes is/was awful.
Then I just swipe as normal.

thats what I thought
Also, the Camera app is pretty sweet. I love the rapid shutter feature as well as the stock panoramic mode.

The camera does so many things well. I thought the iPhone had a good app for your basic phone camera. The S3 just takes it up a notch.

I sent my SG3 back because I think it had issues. I have been sent another SG3 and thought I would just stay with my Iphone. I will give it another chance because the size is perfect.
Google Maps for Android is hands down better than that on iOS. It will be interesting to see how Maps is done when the get rid of Google Maps in iOS 6.
Google on the iPhone has never been updated or changed since the first iPhone.
I see the kindle HD just got announced.

I asked JB what program he was using because I wanted to install that app. When he told me it was google maps I felt dumb and slighted
New Kindle Fire is $159...wow.
Amazon is killing it with the price.

Just curious, what makes it better? Does it speak directions in Android?

No question about it.
Sure does. Also completely integrated throughout the phone to make 1 touch mapping and navigation perfect. No reason to pay for an app or have a 3rd party navigation app, its built in and free.

Rarely do I use Siri. If I do its mostly when I'm driving and need to make a phone call.
