Re: AT&T Galaxy S III First Impressions/Reviews
OK...I had all the iphones and the galaxy S II and the Note.
I loved the Note, but found it a tad too big for day to day use as I also have a tablet. I decided to go to the iphone 4s as I have a Macbook Air and my wife has an ipad.
As I get older, I have realized the screen on the iphone is just too small. Not sure why apple cannot understand this issue.After using the other Samsung devices I decided to try the Galaxy S III.
My main use of the phone is for work, but the apple universe had me in a bind. I purchased a heart rate monitor, blood pressure monitor(I am healthy just starting to train for a 3K) which works with the 4s.
Well I thought about switching as I loved the look and feel of the GS3 in the store. I ended up purchasing the GS3 and added it as a line on my wifes plan. Then today I added google voice so I can use either phone on any given day.
So far the GS3 kicks butt over the iphone 4s. The speed, screen size and design is much better than the 4s.
Most of my music I purchase is from Amazon, so I did not lose any music from that. Also being a Amazon prime customer, I can watch the videos on the phone through the browser. This is something the iphone cannot do.
Also I have a Toyota Prius with the Toyota Entune system. For the iphone to work 100% with the internet based apps you either had to use the cable or have a hotspot. Also not messages were viewable on the display.
With the GS3, I am able to use the Toyota Entune system 100% with out any additional things needed to be done. Also I am able to see incoming text messages on the display of the Toyota.
Also I purchased some of the Samsung programable tiles and find them to be interesting and a good example of the NFC technology.
It will be interesting the next few weeks as I interchange the phones I carry day to day. But thus far I am leaning towards the GS3 and the android world again.
Now if I can just get my Nexus 7 here in a few days!!!
