Q. I really like the Galaxy, but I know the new iPhone is coming out. I have a 4th generation iPod Touch that is almost exactly like the iPhone, and I will be able to download iOS 6 for it.
A. Hi, buy the Samsung Galaxy SIII (Samsung Galaxy S3) here is my experience

I am so happy with this phone. Just got this phone on July 20th so I haven't tested out all the features. But I still say that it's just amazing and worth every penny. Apple fan boys beware cause Samsung is here to stay. The phone is extremely light and the display is very big and beautiful. The phone does look big at first, however web browsing, reading books and playing games is very easy due to the screen size. In addition after a while you do warm up to the size and it's hard to go back to a smaller phone. In addition the user experience is great.
I had read tons of reviews and articles about problems with the battery and mic etc with this phone. However I have not experienced any of these.
***Battery***
Battery is great. After charging it for about 4 hours or so and browsing for about 3 hours, downloading games, making several phone calls (over 3 hours in total), taking pictures, playing music and using S Voice; I got over 36 hours and counting on the phone on a single charge. I should note that I did make some modifications however by occasionally turning off WIFI, turning off Bluetooth, syncing and a couple other battery draining options. In addition Samsung has a cool power saving option that helps to maximize battery life.
***Microphone***
Had no problem. I could hear the other person clearly and they could hear me clearly too. There is also a volume boost option for when you are on a call and what extra volume. Pretty cool if you ask me and it does make a significant difference.
***No Overheating***
I haven't had that problem at all. Even with a phone case on the phone did not overheat.
***Charging***
Phone charged perfectly fine. Didn't get stuck or anything. And it also charged very quickly. Probably charged less than 4 hours. Didn't really time it, but after 4 hours it was fully charged.
***WIFI***
The WIFI connection is great. Signal didn't drop or anything.
SOME CONS:
1. User Manual and set up - Had some problems at first because the phone came with a printed Spanish manual. But luckily they have the user manual in all languages online and the set up is also pretty easy to follow on the phone. Several programs like S voice also defaulted to Spanish even after setting up the phone with the default language being English.
2. Back Cover - Some people did complain about the back cover which I agree could have been designed better as it does give it a somewhat cheap look. However it is easy to remove, clean and who doesn't love a removable battery. I have also seen at least one pic on the web where the back cover was cracking, however I have not experienced this for myself.
3. Color Saturation - Another thing is that though the camera takes great pictures, the phone display makes the colors look very saturated when compared to other phones. Will see if there are any options I can select to improve this.
4. S Voice - S voice unlike Siri can open up all the apps on the phone and has some other cool features. But S voice can be a little annoying as it doesn't get what you are asking or telling it to do at times (Siri does have similar problems but not as pronounced). It also at times didn't recognize my wake up voice command (Hi Galaxy). If you ask S voice if you need an umbrella it is smart enough to pull up the weather forecast for your area. However I had some difficulty setting an alarm as each time I would say 6:00 am, it would register it as 6:00pm. I eventually got this fixed by changing how I said the command. If you also speak too slowly it doesn't pick up on what you are saying. S voice also isn't as funny or intuitive as other voice recognition tools. If you ask "what sound does a cat make?", it will ask if you would like to Google it rather than just be proactive and google it. The only workaround is to tell it to "search for what sound does a cat make". Not a major game changer; but again if you are expecting S voice to be as perfect as you see those "Andrew" Android straight talk ads, then forget it. Be prepared to repeat yourself a couple times before S voice gets it right. But as annoying as it is, it does make hands free driving and cooking some what easier. Had no problems telling S voice to make calls or send a text.
I have the verizon broken phone warranty, (replace for 100 dollars) can i do this?
Q. I have a samsung galaxy s3, can i change the color of the phone from white to say, black if its damaged and under warranty?
A. no..... wireless insurance (not free warranty) will replace a damaged or lost phone for $50-$150 depending on phone make/model..... you will be shipped the same identical phone in 3-5 days. If Asurion Wireless Insurance has none of your phone, then you will get a similar/like phone. You will be notified about this in the phone call to Asurion. Per Wireless Insurance agreement, you have no say in the matter.
FYI - Asurion covers insurance feaures for ATT, Verizon, Tmobile, Sprint, and many other companies around the world
If you have experience in android AND iOs please answer ?
Q. 1. Does iPhone has better apps than Android?
2. Should i ditch my android for iphone 4S? I have never had an Apple device (i am not from USA, just saying, cause it seems that all Americans love Apple, lol)
3. Is iPhone smoother than mid- range (S2, for example) androids?
4. What phone do you own?
5. What do you prefer and why: android phones or iPhones?
A. 1. Since many apps on Android started off on the iPhone (Instagram), many of the apps on the iPhone are slightly better with a little more features.
2. If you want a change from Android but Apple isn't as customizable (design wise/wallpapers, etc.) with it's UI.
3. It depends on what iPhone it is really! :)
4. Samsung Galaxy S3
5. They both have their disadvantages and advantages, but I personally think (not biased!) that Android typically runs smoother and their build quality (S3) is thinner. I also really like how you can customize a lot more with Android. However, iPhone's build quality is much sturdier as they are made from Glass unlike the S3 (the back cover is made from Polycarbonate.)
Choose wisely!
