Randy,

I like the SIII also.

A few observations

1. sighted issue. The color on the screen is too vibrant. there is a web
site related to this issue. The iPhone 5 has a much nicer screen.

2. The Samsung Galaxy SIII feels cheap. The back battery door is flimsy, and
the phone just doesn't have the same fit and finish as an iphone. So if you
are going to get one. Make sure you get a case that the phone fits into.
Like a Switch Easy, or Speck. With that said. The HTC phone is built better,
but has ZERO expandability in the area of removable battery or micro SD ram
card. The Samsung Galaxy SIII has a removable battery and memory card.

3. However, if you want a full featured android smart phone which includes
really cool stuff like NFC (Near Field Communication), a less than annoying
user-interface, and a really cool quick access slide down preference menu,
then the Samsung Galaxy SIII is a wonderful phone. Just don't drop it, ever.

4. If you have some vision. The telephone keypad on the Galaxy SIII is very
visible. The onscreen keyboard is your typical "okay" keyboard, which can of
course be traded out for other keyboards in the Android Marketplace.

There are my two cents.

I own an iPhone 4 for twitter, facebook, and word with friends.
I own a blackberry Torch 2 for work and personal email, and as an actual
phone.
The iPhone 4 is a horrible telephone. Limited profiles, and the sound
quality on both the earpiece and speaker phone is abysmal.

There is always the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, but that is a huge phone. 5.5"
screen and a pen stylus.

Matt.
