IPhone 5?
Talks up a phone because it's "better". Asks a person why they got a "better" phone over a "lower grade" phone.
It seems you would have the answer to that question, now wouldn't it?
Maybe I wanted something nice with proven hardware & software?
Tell me what you use your phone for that you can't do on an iPhone. It does "more", you say. Let's hear it. I'm interested.

if you have a signal you can use wifi correct? if i had a signal, id just use my phones internet. and the free wifi is a verrizon vs att battle.
music can be listened to for free with a free app from itunes.
as for the rest of it, id suggest getting a girl friend. lmao
"So to you I pose the same question, what can your iPhone do that my GS3 can't?" im not the one arguing that my phone is better.
as for swapping batteries, do you even own another battery. and so you know, there are accesories that can be bought that charge an iphone with out needing a wall outlet or a car charger. they are basicly external batteries that act like chargers..
each phone has its highs and lows. i wouldnt say either is better than the other. they pretty much can do more than any person will ever do with a phone.

2.) I have one already, thanks.
3.) Why would I buy something to charge my phone for 50 bucks or even more when I have another battery already? I could buy a battery much cheaper than that to use in my phone, no need for something to be plugged into the bottom of my phone like the extra battery packs I've seen for the iPhones.
I'm not arguing that the iPhone isn't a nice phone. I'm simply saying my phone does more. You say they both have highs and lows, what are your highs vs my lows? I just pointed out plenty to argue my point.
I can download any kind of file directly from my browser. Music, apps that are not in play store/app store, zip files, etc etc.
My battery is removable, which means if I for some reason need multiple batteries or decide I want an extended battery, that's possible.
My phone can be mounted as a USB drive essentially, which makes transferring data MUCH easier (and sometimes faster) than syncing.
Android has had voice controls for quite a while now... not that I use them.
I have widgets. While your checking your facebook or looking up the weather, mine is right there, on the home screen... waiting for me instead of me waiting for it.
I have NFC if I decide to use it, although honestly that's not a feature I really use.
Removable storage. Pretty self explanatory. Also expandable storage, so I don't have to spend a bunch of money for the 32GB version since I already have a 32GB micro SD.
I can broadcast a wifi signal from my phone, for free.
All of that is right out of the box. If I choose to root my phone (which I did) there are a whole lot more things. Custom roms, kernels, the ability to make full backups of my phone incase anything were to happen, even overclock my processor. Custom roms keep me up to date on the newest software, I don't have to wait for it to be officially released or the next phone to come out. I download it, "flash" it..and enjoy.

Led puts ur phone above the iphone im not gonna sit here and pick a side but come on my freaking sidekick from years ago did that that is not a feature to u in ur favor sorry..
Although the attach thats kinda cool give u that
Although the attach thats kinda cool give u that
What about when responding to an email on your IPhone and you want to attach a picture or video.You cant but my GS3 can, or what if you step away from your desk and while away you have a missed call.No led flashing so if on silent i would never know i missed a call, text or email.However my GS3 has a led light that is customizable to change colors and flash pattern.i could go on and on but these two features erked me the most.The list above speaks for itself though

I can attach pictures in e-mails with my iPhone 4s. I do it all of the time.
My iPhone 4s' LED light can be and IS set to flash when I am receiving a text or call.

I've got the Galaxy S1, but am debating on whether to get the S3. I'm extremely pleased with my phone and haven't had any issues with it. Apart from being outdated, it really can hold it's own against my friends iPhones (haven't played with an i5 yet). So it boils down to whether I just want a 'new' phone, because I cant complain about my current one.
My 2 cents- Don't buy a smartphone if you don't plan on using it to at least half of it's potential and capabilities. I've come across way too many people who just buy an iPhone because it's the new-cool-thing to have.

with a 2 second search on google, mobile wifi tethering is available free through verizon (im sure you are paying for it in the data plan) for the iphone and is a small fee through att.
another 2 second search showed me how to turn my led on for notifications
and the battery thing... who really grabs another battery as they are leaving the house or has one in their pocket at all times?? this is a very mute point to me.

So to you I pose the same question, what can your iPhone do that my GS3 can't?
iTunes has it's ups and downs. USB...I can transfer my pictures from my phone to my computer straight through Windows Explorer or other software...just like you would a regular digital camera. Simple.
Widgets are kind of gay. You can see the temp outside at a glance. I can swipe my thumb in a downward position and see the exact same thing. It takes about a tenth of a second at most. Checking the outside temp 600 times a day? You save 1 minute total. You win.
Much like the battery issue. You have to buy your extra storage. Nothing is free.
You got me on the tethering. AT&T wants to charge me for that. I clearly don't need it, or I'd have it. With that said, the iPhone will do it.
In my opinion, they are both good phones which is why I won't bash either one or it's user.
ummm i dont see how this is just true of iphone users. what i wrote applied to both phones. and if your friends cant figure out how to get directions on their iphone, then that is not the phones fault but only the lack of knowledge on your friends' part.

Like said earlier. There are protective cases for the iPhone that have built-in batteries/chargers. You think that's dumb? I think lugging around an "extra battery" is stupid and costly.

This is what gets me the most from iPhone users/fanboys.

and with icloud, any pic or vid taken on the iphone, shows up on any other device that is connected to icloud within minutes of taking them. and itunes now syncs wirelessly through any wifi connection.

im an iphone user if you couldnt tell,lol, but im not arguing one phone is better than the other. just trying to show that for what most android users think makes their phone sooo much better, the iphone has something that will compare.
and back to the battery thing, who wants to lug around a five pound extended battery which would also mean buying a different back plate to cover it. id rather plug my phone into a "go anywhere" charger that takes minutes to recharge my phone then throw it back in my backpack, car, desk or whatever and stick my phone back on the clip and go.

My complaint about the phones I see my buddies use, whateverthehelltheyarecalled is that they are huge compared to my iPhone. If I want a big screen I'll buy some not book. The iPhone 4 I am using is perfect size. Everything else I see just seems it would not fit in my damn pocket. Otherwise, I could care less about what another phone might do, my compact apple product makes me happy, I seem to get every other generation, never the S model.
I do have friends whine about having to download software to use other software. I do get annoyed I cannot use adobe.
