What should I buy, Samsung Galaxy S3 or iPhone 5?

Q. I'm getting a new phone next week (Thursday) and I really need to decide which one is better. My current phone is a Blackberry Bold and my dad thinks that iPhones are better since they have greater value than the Samsung.

So please help me which to buy. I'm really confused. Btw, I never really had an iPhone and any Galaxy S series but I have an iTouch 4. And most of the people are buying iPhone 5 now. My friends has iPhone 5 or even the iPhone 4s now.

A. Don't be mainstream!
I hate it when people are like this on Facebook/Twitter:
"Ermagherd, check it out a iPhone i'm so hipsterrrrrr #swag #yolo"

Anyway, Samsung Galaxy S3 is better value than iPhone 5, why? Here are some manufacturing costs for you to consider:
iPhone 5: $207 for basic 16GB (estimate: IHS)
Samsung Galaxy S3: Around $200.

Now, consider outright price:
iPhone 5: $649
Galaxy S3: ~$410.

Hence, Galaxy S3 better value for money.

Better value for features too:
iPhone 5
Apple Maps (not a feature, a negative, really.)
Passbook (Does not work for us here in Australia, not a feature.)
App Store (Ok, real plus)
Facebook App actually works.
Retina Display (not a feature anymore, really with 1080p phones now available).
Siri (Still broken)

Galaxy S3
S Voice (Very Very broken)
Play Store (Some second rate apps there).
Google Maps. (Good)
Smart Stay (Gimmick)
S-Whatever (All Gimmicks)
NFC (Good, you can use your phone as a travelcard)
SuperAmoled Display (Depends on whether you like them or not).

Ok, so about even on good vs useless features (Those are the ones I know off the top of my head).

If you can wait another 2 or 3 weeks, get the Galaxy S4, it's better than the iPhone 5 by a long shot.
And you have an iTouch 4, so you don't need an iPhone
(I have the same deal, iTouch for Apple account cause I got lots of iTunes stuff, and Galaxy S2 cause I like Android).


im going to thailand and im wondering how much a cheap iphone 4 would cost?
Q. im not looking to spend more than 100 aud

A. at the top level of jungceylon in patong phuket they are 26000 thai baht.
i was thinking maybe they would be cheaper in thailand but i found most apple products were generally about the same price as they are here in australia.
however if your interested in other brands you can get some great deals.
i bought a samsung galaxy mini running android for 5700 thai baht unlocked (about 170aud) and im not sure about now but 1 month ago this wasn't yet released in australia. its the best phone ive ever had. i also bought this laptop acer aspire for 20000 baht which is about 1/4 of what the equivelant would cost here in australia.
its good if you shop around but dont expect $100 iphone4's to be falling from the sky.
as somebody else mentioned, be weary of fakes. Some of those fakes look pretty original.
