I watched a live blog of the iPhone reveal Wednesday and I have to say my initial reaction was disappointment. I was expecting all the leaks to be fictional and the new iPhone to be totally revolutionary and different than expected. Instead all the leaks were 100% confirmed.
Before the reveal I had decided to myself that if the iPhone did not look satisfying to me then I would be going with the S3. I was currently using an iPhone 3GS. Well I've had my S3 for 2 days now and I find myself contemplating if I should return it and preorder the iPhone 5 instead. I really loved my 3GS and like iOS but I was really looking for a bigger screen. The iPhone 5 screen just looked like too little too late to me.
My S3 has a good camera and a nice screen but to be honest I expected the screen to be brighter and have a little better color than it does. And the camera is not as great as I expected either. It seems that if there even the slightest bit of motion when I snap a picture the picture ends up looking blurry. I find that the app store and trying to download music is much more cumbersome than it is with iTunes and Apples app store. I think some of the widgets are cool and I like the customizability of the different screens and the ability to have as many screens as you want and with as many or little apps as you want on each one.
I just want someone else's UNBIASED opinion on the matter of the S3 vs the iPhone 5. I know no one has really been able to handle the iPhone yet but what are your thoughts?
