I’m looking for my first smartphone and I guess for now am considering the iPhone5 or the Galaxy S3. I am already familiar with the Android o/s since my wife has had a DroidX for a while and I have an Android tablet.
I like the feel of the Android o/s, and the fact I can add memory and new batteries to the Samsung. The iPhone5 I think may have a little more stable o/s but of course restricts you from memory expansion and battery replacement.
All my friends that own iPhones rant and rave about them but I think that may be because they are cult members.
I guess the app selection is pretty similar between the two of them, are the Apple apps more stable, or is the problem people trying to run free and untested Android apps? Seems like if you shop smartly for and Android app, you might have to pay a few $$ for it, but you may end up with more stable phone.
Both these phones cost about the same for a 2 year contract (Verizon).
Am I missing any other good phones that I should consider? Thanks!
PS-This phone will replace my LG Octane
