The 4S is a great phone, and I'm sure the 5 will be good as well. However, I'm not buying another Apple product again because I object to what they do as a company.
In any case, the S3 is widely considered the best phone on the market today. You can't go wrong with it. It runs Android 4.0 with Samsung Touch Wiz, you might find the stock OS easier to use. In that case, I would suggest the Galaxy Nexus, which is really the pure Android experience and a great phone.
Don't get another Blackberry, they're still shit. Friend has the new Bold with the touchscreen, and it's just like the rest..freezing and crashing all the time. Hopefully BB10 isn't rubbish.
I think it was either Engadget or Gizmodo (can't remember which) who did a "long term review" on it. Apparently there are a number of small issues with the One X that, at the time of reading, seemed pretty significant (I already had purchased my S3).
About the only thing I'd take the HOX over the S3 for is that screen. Good lord I swear to god when I first saw it, I was calling my GF over saying "hey this is the dummy unit to the phone I think I want". Until I touched it.
Though at the sale price of $0 before school started, I would've jumped on that and just used it until I got bored, then pick up my S3

wait a couple months
lot of new devices coming and there will be holiday deals open to you
until then play around with some demo devices like the S3, IP5, WP8 Lumias, check out the new blackberry (should at least be announced by holiday time)
and once the holiday deals start you'll know which OS you want to go with at least and then you can narrow down which device model to choose

(and the camera sucks )
Iphone 5 though will hopefully show an upgrade in the camera but from what i heard not really; will probably be about the same as the lumia 920 and if not then thats just sad

My first cell phone, beating snake was the best feeling ever
Buddy gave the best advice yesterday

So here's my input on all this, ill keep this short and very informative and also useful..the iPhone 5 is most likely going to WOW the masses, use your eligibility to upgrade and get the iPhone 5 at a subsidized price ( save money) for whatever reason you decide the iPhone isn't for you, flip the 5 for whatever money you want they're going to sell for crazy amounts, and buy yourself whichever device you'd like whether it be the Samsung s3 or the new blackberry 10 device... World will be your playground my friend ( I guess this wasn't really short lol )
I think I might go with that route, smartest idea and I can have the best of both worlds if I want. I need a new ipod anyways so I may as well grab a 64gb so I can have my music with me as well. At least there's enough fanboys out there that will pay close to full price for the phone if I don't like it.

Nope you read it completely right, my buddy has the lifeproof case for his 4S and it's pretty cool, in Vegas had it in his pocket in the pool and he's beat the hell out of it and no issues at all. I'm really hard in my phones and I think it's hella great idea and he doesn't have any issues with using the phone.
Wow the masses? Lol. They'll buy it cause its the next iPhone regardless of any wow factor. But yeah that's a good idea since you can always sell it if you don't like it. Posted via RS Mobile

it pretty much is. my only gripe with it is that between the screen and the plastic portion that covers the screen, there is always air in between so when you're typing it kind of feels like you're typing on an old palm treo or something. doesnt bother me a whole lot but i only use the case while im at work (dusty, dirty environment).
Ok so with the news on the release of the 5 I'm not sure what to go with since it doesn't seem all the impressive. Buy the 16gb 5 and sell it for full money and buy the G3 or what? Fuck you apple lol
Right, ok. The 5 is out and it's really nothing revolutionary. It is, however, a decently sized phone for someone who likes to use their phone with only one hand.
Now then, back to the phones that are much more awesome.
Currently available.
Galaxy Nexus: a really good phone that's about a half generation behind. Dual core, 5MP camera, 4.65" screen and is good for at least another 2 or 3 generations of OS updates before it gets left behind.
Galaxy S3: Good current-gen phone that will probably get an update/refresh shortly (Asia has already received the S3 LTE which has LTE and a quad core). Dual core, 8MP, 4.8" screen. Samsung has a habit of only upgrading once or twice before they stop supporting with new OSes; Jellybean came out right around when the S3 did, so you should be good for at least another update...but there's no way to be sure.
HTC One-X. I dunno. It's a good phone and stuff. I'm not a big fan of HTC, so...anyone wanna help?
On the horizon
Quad-core S3 LTE: There's been no announcements or rumors yet, but it'd be pretty stupid of companies here not to put it out. We're usually 4-6 months behind the Asian release of those phones, so that means it's just a few months away (and it wouldn't surprise me to see it announced in the next couple weeks now that the iPhone 5 announcement is out of the way and companies don't have to worry about being pushed to the bottom of the page below iphone rumor stories).
"Next Nexus" phones:
Like I said in my previous post, the way that Google is doing Nexus phones is changing. What happened before is each company would pitch their best-at-the-time phones and would offer them to Google for some slight modifications in order to get the "core raw google experience". The Nexus One was the HTC Desire. The Nexus S was a Galaxy S1. The Nexus Galaxy is a modified Galaxy S2. Ah, and that company would get early access to the next OS, so that they would have a leg up on releases.
However. The way they're going to be doing it now is they'll be offering previews and the like to any and all developers who can meet their requirements; so that from now on it won't be The Google Nexus phone, it'll be like...a seal of approval. So we're likely to see three or four Nexus phones coming out, each trying to out-compete each other. Which will hopefully be good for us. Keep in mind though, that Google's purpose of releasing Nexus phones is to make the pure android experience, which means they won't be at the same cutting edge as premium phones. The likelihood, however, is that they'll be based on the current S3 and One-X and the like...so that's not all bad.
The downside? The Nexus in past has been announced in October, and available in the US in November, but not here until around February. Lesuck.
OK, I think I'm good. I have undoubtedly raised a whole fuckton more questions, so come at me bro.
Ok so with the news on the release of the 5 I'm not sure what to go with since it doesn't seem all the impressive. Buy the 16gb 5 and sell it for full money and buy the G3 or what? Fuck you apple lol
straight trade ur iphone 5 for my 2 week old galaxy s 3 LOL

LG and Qualcomm have an event next week for a purported Snapdragon S4 quad-core. The more interesting news? It's also slated to have LTE bands for the US.
I'm not suggesting you get the LG, but this corroborates what Graeme was saying about quad-core phones with LTE arriving in NA soon. These should show up end of the this year or early next.
And to add to that, a supposed HTC One X+ hit the FCC today containing none other than a Tegra 3 processor (quad-core) and AT&T LTE bands.
So after going over everything in the past couple of weeks I think I'm going to purchase the 64gb 4S, I don't need all this new crazy stuff and the 4S really has everything I need especially since I don't like the new lighting port would really drive me crazy since I have a Bose sound dock and that adapter would get really annoying.
So it's $279.99 on a 3year contract. Do you think it will come down a fair amount in the next bit or should I just grab it now?
It will come down, eventually. But, with taxes you are looking at $315. Are you sure you need all that space? You could buy a 16gb 4s second hand for probably around $350 now.. Saves you the hassle of the dreaded contract Posted via RS Mobile
yep I need all that space since I'm going to use it for all my music as well since i have the first gen ipod touch and its toast, I have about 40gb of music i'm going to put on it as well.
Murdoc, maybe it's just me but I'm in the belief that if I'm going to lock myself down with a dreaded 3 year term, I want the latest and greatest phone they've got. So to go backwards and get the 4S (even though to some the 5 is not much of an upgrade) I would simply say just get the 5. Even the resale value will be that much higher vs a 4S if you decided to sell. But if the price differential from getting a 64 I5 vs a 4 I4s is big then ok maybe not.

Very true but the 4S is a great phone and yes its not the latest and greatest but its tons better then my torch and it does and has everything I want already. Of course I can get the lifeproof case for it as well which isn't available for the 5 yet.
