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

[S.I.D. CrAzY]

Mostly cost, not eligible to get one on contract yet.

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

the cost.

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.

You can have the best hardware in the world but you'll still get lag and unresponsiveness with a crappy OS.

I actually doubt it has any lag at all, T3 is a very good gadget magazine but they are always quite pro Apple the fact they let the S3 win speaks volumes, also I've been watching lot's videos of it as I was close to buying one and from what I've seen it's like butter and I really don't believe the S3 would lag when my own Samsung phone doesn't.

I'm not that interested with it being compared to the 4s though I want to see how Apple reacts with the iPhone 5, I think it's a good thing for everyone that Samsung is pushing Apple to improve specs it can only mean better mobiles all round

Yeah, I'm curious about Apple's reaction aswell, but the only thing I really hope is that they don't change the screen's ratio. Anything but that. :|

Lol. Why would I get an Android Device when I have a Windows Phone?

Because no current window's phones have microSD cards for a start. The space limitation was why I discounted them, apart from that they do look like they could have potential.

Also read a few about rumours Microsoft won't be supporting the Mango phones when they shortly push out the next version. That didn't appeal me to buy one either.

Android devices will always have a laggy interface. A former Google intern got in trouble a few months (a year?) ago when he said publicly that Android wasn't designed for a touch interface and it doesn't put that touch input as a high priority on an OS level. iOS on the other hand has 60hz input at the least and it makes everything feel much smoother.

I'm not an Apple fanboy, I can't stand my Mac or OSX, I think Win 7 is much better, especially to develop on. However, their devices have a great interface, and while there are Android devices that have some better hardware features, I have yet to see one that isn't laggy compared to iOS. Every generation I'm hopeful, and every generation is laggy.

Actually, a phone or two had microSD expansion slot. You're right, though, none of the new ones do. That'll change when WP8 (Apollo) is released.
