From everything I've read from people coming from iPhones, the SIII seems to be the way to go.

S3 or the next Nexus

Depends on what you are looking for. What in particular is making you move away from Apple? Is there a certain screen size you need, the latest and greatest hardware, more physical buttons, the latest OS version (aka Jelly Bean), etc. You can't just ask a broad question like that without some specifics. Maybe the GSIII might not be for you even though it is one of the current flagship phones available.

You need to start with Carrier and then decide the phone. Who is your carrier?

S3 is an iPhone killer (all time) lol...

I'd start with carrier and then a screen size u are looking for to narrow it down

Currently, it is the Galaxy Nexus.

Galaxy S3. So far, it is widely used and has got lots of great features.

Heck a Samsung SGS Fascinate would be a better phone for any former eyephone user. :-D

Users that have had years of iPhone experience should contribute, as I have.

I went from iPhone 4S to the gs3.

The nexus is great and I would not discourage you, but the SGSIII is more feature rich at this point, especially if you put JB on it.

Just one feature alone make the grade for me. I can shoot a video, and snap 10 pictures at the same time.

I know a lot of people do not see that as a real upside, but combine that with the other features out there, it puts the SGSIII ahead of the Nexus.

If you have a month, see what happens with the next Nexus.

I agree with the above. Next Nexus puts the GS3 on the back burner.

good read:
Why I switched from iOS to Android and why I am never going back… | Lookatthemonkeys

(He got the SGS3)

I have a couple of friends that were long time iPhone users, bought the SGS3 and didnt turn back

Thread supporting the Galaxy Nexus:
[Update] I just switched from a GNex to an iPhone 5. Spoiler: I switched back. Here's a list of reasons why. : Android

This is just my opinion, last year I tried to change my iPhone 3GS for a Galaxy II but i couldn't stand Touchwiz and a couple other things about samsung phones, so i got the 4S, this year I went for a Razr Maxx and really love the phone I feel like there is so much more I can do now, I use smartactions all the time
Also GS3 seemed a little weird holding it and didnt like the cheap plastic feeling

Honestly, I'd go Galaxy S3. I had the original iPhone, 3G, 4, and the 4S briefly. I purchased a GS2 Skyrocket as the GS3 wasn't available at the time but its great. Touchwiz really helped as I do like tinkering with my phone (I used to jailbreak my phones) but with Android there is a bit of a learning curve. Samsung simplified some things to where I was comfortable switching from the always the same iOS software to a new platform.

Now after owning my S2, I rooted it and am running CM9. What I liked about Android is the ability to leave it as a stock device that's great, or as I got more accustomed to it, be able to make the phone work as I wanted with rooting and custom roms. Basically I vote the GS3

HTC Hero will rival the iPhone 5 probably.
