    Nothing beats the iPhone 5 build quality, it's nigh on indestructible. One issue though, the black one scratches up if you look at it wrong, so as tough as it may be, you'll need a case for the back if you plan on selling it when you're done.



    Completely disagree - Two mates, two iphone 5's, two cracked screens - Like anything, drop it in the right place and you're fu.cked.

    Check out any comparison review and the Galxy S3 comes out on top against the Iphone 5.

    S4 comes out around April/ May time.

    Although at the end of the day it comes down purely to personal choice - I much prefer android to Iphone and I woked in the mobile market for 5 years so know a bit of what I'm talking about.

    -----------------



    To be fair the s3 is something I was looking at. The note2 is just too massive.

    Why do you prefer Android?

    One look at youtube on drop tests between the two will show that the iPhone 5 wins hands down, from whichever height you want to drop it from.  
    Of course any phone will break if dropped in a certain way, but there are very few ways you can drop an iPhone 5 where the screen will break, not so for Samsung's. It's all down to build quality and Samsung's don't have it. 

    As for Android vs iOS, Android wins hands down, iOS is pathetic in this day and age, it was never that good anyway. 

    I'm a mobile phone fan boy and research, try & buy the 'best' ones once a year. I know quite a bit too mate.

    you obviously misunderstood me Deus....I was answering your statement that the iphone 5 is nigh indestructible only.

    I was not comparing toughness of the two phones....I was comparing overall performance and capability including vfm...

    Galaxy S3 wins hands down every time.

    The S3 is a better phone, no doubt, i still had the Apple rose tinted glasses when the 5 came out. Apart from your mates, i've not heard of a single one breaking though, and i work in central London, a lot of people have them. What are your mates doing with them! Build quality aside, my other reservation with Samsung would be Touchwiz, Sense ****s all over it. If HTC can design a better skin than Samsung, there's something wrong there, given Samsung have more than enough cash for R&D these days. Having said that, i want a phone with a huge screen and the features and stylus on the Note 2 make me want it. Plus the Android Market is more than a match for the App Store now, Apple may have a gazillion apps but most of them a ****.

    I'm just waiting for Google Glass or Samsung's equivalent. Apple will have to come up with something very special for me to ever line their coffers again.

    After carefully considering your opinions I went and had a look at the phones. The Samsung Note 2 looked good but was the too big. The S3 looks like it was made in a back room in Vietnam. The HTC just looked crap so I got an Iphone 5. In case Winston is right I've ordered an anti smashing case off Amazon. Got my daughter the same.

    Thanks for all your advice which I largely ignored. TC is a reliable source and all round good egg. His word is good enough for me. Deus, you need a girl mate.

    You wouldn't want any of the ones in London. If you're after a quickie in the bogs you're sorted, anything else forget about it.



    I'll see what i can do.
