So... what's keeping you from getting the Galaxy SIII?

Cost. 6-700 us dollars for a mobile phone is RIDICULOUS be it s3 or 4s. Much rather use a dumb phone and an iPad.

This will be fun. It's expensive, it has hardware that's beyond unnecessary for a phone and still manages to lag (although only occasionally).

I don't see how those threads are fanboyism personally everyone on the site has an apple device and a lot android devices as well, I think the S3 is an amazing bit of mobile tech it's probably better than my main PC, While it is overkill for a phone and I would have preferred a slightly smaller screen it's exactly the same as a 4s price wise at least in the UK.

T3 compared the S3 to the 4S yesterday but it will probably take iphone 5 to be a good comparison.

I came very close to buying one if it was released at the time I probably would have truthfully.

Hey Kidd, can you add to the poll "I'd rather eat dirt than own anything from Samsung". Thanks!

@Teknikal
I guess you haven't seen the back and forth wars in the other threads. Each side firmly planted in the sand.

I personally feel to each his own, however they believe if you are not with them they definitely believe they need to argue without any objectivity at all to convince you otherwise.

Pretty good comparison, but it doesn't always make sense, at least in my opinion.
Firstly, they praise both screens, which would normally result in a draw, then pick the S3. Just because it's bigger? That's personal preference.
Furthermore, the most annoying point was power. Yes, the S3 is more powerful, but who cares? The 4S is more fluid (even they mention lags on the S3), handles beautiful looking games and does everything just fine.

Exactly my reason... Why pay so much for a phone?!
