Nokia 603 or 701, Wanted to buy Lumia 710 but lack or Sd card support and bt transfer forced me to change my decision, i dont like android and iPhone is way out of my budget plus i think iOS interface is boring.

I would get the Iphone. yeah yeah. I like the size of it. It is easy to use. I do not need something cracked or hacked or jailbroken. Just make phone calls, skype and message and sometimes check web. GIII is too big for what i want even though I think the screen is wonderful.

Galaxy S3 anyday.

Its totally different to my current Blackberry Bold 9780.

The specs on the S3 is good, the xpPhone looks good, but I get bored of using the software operating system, need something new and different.

Hence I use Windows 7 on my desktop, Ubuntu on my Netbook and hopefully get android OS on my phone. Mix it up a little.

There is a lot that I would like on my phone, such as Steam, Dungeon Defenders, Skype, and more space for DropBox. All this cannot be done on the BB and iPhone are a little expensive and too restricted for me.

It'll be another iPhone, love the way it works and is so simple and all phones still try to be an "iPhone killer" so it's saying something!

Plus I've bought apps, so if I changed phones i'll have to buy them all again, though I'm suprised there isn't a law about this yet :/

Galaxy Nexus. Love that it'll get OS updates as quickly as Google releases them and I really love the high-resolution screen.

Exactly the reason I sold my sgs2 to get the Nexus after the price dropped to $399. I'll be more than content with this phone for a few years until I finish grad school.

if all goes well the GS3 but only time will tell, as i will not be making the purchase until late august.

If you are going to wait until August, you might as well wait for the next Nexus that will come by the end of the year.

The subject of "iphone killer" is simply a matter of marketing. Those of us who really care about superior hardware and enjoy the flexibility of Android modding without restrictions, most androids will beat the iphone in that aspect. For people who simply want a solid all around smartphone without getting all technical or already invested in the iOS/OSX ecosystem, iphone is still a great default choice.

For your sake, I hope the iphone 5 is actually competitive this year against the htc x one and sgs3, unlike last year's iphone 4s. I mean, siri is nice, but it's still ahead of its time and too awkward to use in public situations.

If Apple don't release a true successor to the iPhone 4 this year, then i will choose between either the Lumia 900 or Galaxy S3. Still by the time my contract is up (August) then there may be a better phone by then.

Ideally i'd want a new iPhone but i don't want another slightly faster phone with a better camera, like the 4S.

same.

Have a Lumia 800 currently and its a joy to use. Can see myself getting another Nokia because of how good this phone is.

Yep. My partner has a Lumia 800 and it's a great phone. I've got an Omnia 7 and it would take something amazing to make me stick with Samsung over Nokia at this stage.

I currently have 4S so according to natural progression, my next will be iPhone 5S/6 whatever that thing is called. Unless someone comes up with mind blasting design that entices me to re-purchase all apps from apple in to their platform again.

    • (Topic to get the juices flowing this Sunday morning!...) Actually, the situation has almost nothing to do with "lack of skills", especially since assembly-line skills can be taught to anyone, including Americans, certainly. Rather, the inadequacy-to-impossibility of large-scale tech manufacturing in America today, and the reasons why America finds tech manufacturing completely onerous in the 21st century, has to do with politically driven laws amid a plethora of non-scientific, utterly politicized "science-fact" that is patently false, punitive business taxation at every turn, an array of judicial fines of unimaginable scope and complexity, and, last but not least, American unionization strictures that serve to actually slay job creation and hobble all such manufacturing endeavors in America before they can get off the ground. Globalism emerged, they tell us, as the needed answer to American hubris and an unholy American drive to excel. Unless one is buried under mounds of political propaganda, it's easy to see the absurdity of labeling the employees of SpaceX, for instance, as "unskilled labor"... Etc. ad infinitum. At one time in the recent past, American manufacturing prowess was the envy of the world in a wide variety of technical fields! The current federal and state government roadblocks against America becoming competitive globally in tech manufacturing are considerable, it's true, as anyone with a working brain knows. But remarkably, that is only half the story! The other half of the story is, of course, the corporations themselves... Chinese tech manufacturing is simply unassailable in terms of profits, because the Chinese government wants to see its tech manufacturing second-to-none globally so that no companies/nations can compete in terms of ROI, and China has completely succeeded in that goal. Let's tic-off a few things: *Chinese tariff policies are set according to what is considered best for Chinese business, Chinese employees, and the Chinese people. Huge difference with how things are done with tariffs in the US--as the US government (SCOTUS in this case, Congress in others) plainly feels that tariffs are "unfair" for the limited number of citizens who may pay them, whereas nothing is "unfair" when Congress considers the Personal Income Tax rates to be infinitely hike-able, along with infinitely enlarging annual budget deficits. *The Chinese government boldly subsidizes Chinese companies to artificially amplify their profits. *The Chinese government deliberately refuses to avidly demonize Chinese businesses and does not consider Chinese businesses "the enemy", so very unlike American (D)s these days. *Chinese labor laws and businesses are allowed to set their own labor policies according to what Chinese companies consider is best for companies and their employees... Simply put, American workers in tech manufacturing are not allowed to set their own labor policies! It is the height of hypocrisy for Americans to decry working conditions in China while simultaneously ensuring that American products are manufactured in China, not in the US, simply to maximize profits. There is nothing wrong with making a profit, of course, absolutely nothing. But there is plenty wrong with attempts to normalize hypocrisy of this kind! But rank hypocrisy and the (D) party in the US are longtime bedfellows... The current government in Washington is working overtime to see if it can toss out the horribly poor, failed economic policies of the past, while the (D)s still in Washington work very hard to bring back the stupidity whenever possible. With the right policies in place, America can be an infinitely competitive manufacturer.
