iPhone 5 or Samsung Galaxy S3?

Alright, I'm definitely going to get a new smartphone when my old cell phone plan ends this time around August or September.

So, should my next new phone be the upcoming "iPhone 5" or the new "Samsung Galaxy S3"?

Please give in your opinions or/and any suggestions and which one you would get. Thanks!

    the newer phone will always beat the current phone on the market. I suggest wait for iPhone 5 to be released in the next couple of months and compare the specs. It all depends which you prefer, apple or android. Go to phone shop, play around with iphone and samsung galaxy, see which you feel more comfortable, which easier to text etc. check if the samsung s3 can fit in your pocket lol (if you are a female!).

    Personally I would go with the S3. I stay away from all Apple products. I am getting this phone for my birthday in two weeks! Cant wait!!!

    I've got the iPhone 4, and LOVE it. I don't know why I haven't bought one sooner. However, the data plans is pricey. My personal vote is for the iPhone 5.

    I've recently discovered I can cancel my contract with AT&T, take my phone over to their sister store (it is one of those pay month to month places similar to Cricket) and pay half my monthly dues for unlimited everything.

    There may be something similar with the Galaxy phone, maybe you should do the math on all things involved before buying either phone? I guess I am not nearly as helpful as I was hoping to be.

    Good luck, stretch them dollars :-)

    Galaxy S3 for sure.

    I just got one. Fastest phone I've ever used. Large, nice HD screen. Lightweight.

    Definitely Samsung Galaxy s3. I have it and it works great, and everyone else I know who has it loves it. You can do a bunch of cool stuff and it has a good layout on it. :}

    The 'Home' button on the Galaxy S3 is loose and wiggles a lot. You're not going to believe this but that's a deal breaker for me.

    Im waiting for the iphone 5. I have a friend who just got the SGIII and that thing is just too large. I have an HTC EVO and that's a big phone. The SGIII is larger than that. Feels like Im holding a mini tablet..

    iPhone 5 for me please. I heard it will be amazing.
