The phone is not overwhelmingly better in any one area than the Galaxy S3. The phone is prettier, that's for sure. The phone is faster, but not hugely so. The screen is better - it's bigger (slightly) and brighter, despite Gizmodo whining about it. Color rendition is somewhat better. I can't see a difference in image sharpness, even in text. The control are for me easier to find by touch despite, again, Gizmodo whining about that too. Sound as a speaker phone is far far FAR better than any android phone I've ever used. It's even better than my Blackberrys, and that's saying something. I never thought I'd find a phone as good on speaker as the old Storm. But I did. I even like HTCs Sense skin, but I dumped it for Holo launcher for the higher matrix density. But I love the lock screen. So everything just adds up to a more satisfying package than the vaunted S3. It's just as close to perfect as I've seen. I also swapped in Chomp SMS, which is as close to the Blackberry SMS system as you can get, plus Aqua Mail, which handles multiple email accounts as gracefully as BB did, if not better. So yeah, I'm a happy camper 
I don't like that USB cover though. Know what? I wish they had the lightening connector like the iPhone5. That's an elegant little connector.
