I am a long time iPhone guy - going to this platform due to the screen, and a couple of network tools that are on this platform that weren't on my iPhone. I am still weighing the options, but prefer the iPhone for what it does, and what it does well. For enterprise level things, the iPhone is just better. The speed of which it handles email (default app to default app). I can swipe to delete "fast" on the iPhone right out of the box. I can swipe and delete SMS messages, right out of the box. The sound level when I take it to low, it remains low. On (1) on the android, it's just too loud. (Google it, it's a big issue). One of which I half cured with an app, but you should not have to. The increments in which the sound moves up/down is large.
I will be replacing my third phone tonight at Tmobile due to an issue with notifications coming in and the sound relating it self, over and over again unless you hit the power button. I have a bit of lag, but not anywhere what some people are getting. Not sure if it's because I store most everything on the SD card or not. I have apps that just "stop working". SMS messages, games, apps, email.. all stock apps (except the two games). Nothing else has been put on the phone either.
I have gone through all of the steps on these phones that I have had. Best buy Samsung Rep doing the inlace software restore. Master resets. Keeping "apps off the phone" which defeats the purpose..
Some other cons are the fragile nature of the phone. Scratches... which all phones get. But for sporting a "new glass" that is supposed to be this and that, it's not any better than the iPhone's gorilla glass. The EDGE is a pain in the butt sometimes. If you're holding the phone in your hand firmly and depressing the phone to keep it secure in your hand, sometimes it triggers actions on the side of the glass. It still accepts on the side of the edge, as it does on the top of the screen... It's more of an annoyance than anything.
Also reception issues. Some people claim they have none. Others have a lot of issues. This does seem to be carrier specific however... As ATT and Verizon owners in some places were able to get in place upgrades out of the box. Where as TMO has not...
There are other quirks too... but you get the idea.
The s-pen is pretty cool.. and a necessity for some things. Especially with the edge design.
IT's a good looking phone... But as of now to answer your question that you asked
