Two things I wasn't able to reliably do with an S3.

You're right though.

Internet nerd: someone who posts on a video game forum for 10 years straight and gets banned after a full-blown meltdown, only to come back several years later begging forgiveness.

Get mad, mini-bro.

I'm enjoying my iPhone 5 guys. It's everything I liked about my iPhone 4, but faster, thinner, and lighter.

0psys wrote:So you know how earlier on I was praising the Galaxy S3? Well, turns out I was wrong, it's a piece of shit.

I've had a week or so to live with this phone, and any angst I felt about the iPhone has been eradicated by how palpably unusable Android is on a daily basis.

I wish it wasn't the case, as I truly despise Apple as a company, but I've come to realise that IOS is far and away the better phone system to live with.

The galaxy is fucking massive. You can't do anything one handed unless you have full concentration. The typing, no matter what program you use to help, is utter shit. I emailed a client yesterday, and accidentally typed "bedt regards" at the bottom. I didn't notice it, and happily, Android decided to change it to "Bedtime regards". Funny, but fucking irritating. That's just a small issue as well, as overall, it's an absolutely useless interface that needs constant concentration and correction.

When sending an email yesterday, the client crashed for no reason just as I was sending it. I reopened, checked my sent items, and it wasn't there. I couldn't trust it to have gone out, so I re-sent it (typing it out again, obviously), only to get a reply to the original email two minutes after I'd sent the second.

The app support is just weird. Everything in the Play Store seems to have a minimum 4 star rating, yet at least half of the reviews are 1 star complaints.

Playing music is a fucking chore. While Android is certainly more open than IOS, at least with IOS I can jailbreak and run 'activator' to assign the volume buttons as next track/previous track. No chance on Android, you get some shitty implementation that only works if the phone is unlocked, which makes it pointless.

The phone is also insanely complex in a way no phone should be. I like having a bunch of options on my computer, but on my phone, I just want ti to call people. The 50,000 settings for sound, haptic feedback, fucking screen brightness, colour, vibrance, all of the shitty options that drain the battery, it's just too much.

Oh, and the battery is shit. It doesn't last two days like people claim, it lasts one. Just like the iPhone. The difference being that my iPhone only takes an hour or less to recharge, and the Galaxy takes about two.

The whole experience is that you're just playing with a toy, which would explain why I was initially completely enthralled by it. Once the lustre wears off though, anyone who believes they have an easier life with an Android is fucking kidding themselves.
I don't really think that makes the phone a POS, sounds more like there are things about it you don't like. Perhaps you should use a different email client. Battery life? Can't really say much about that, but I guess it depends on what you have running and how much you're using it.

I agree that large phones can be a bit cumbersome, but I've had zero complaints about my Note. I do have fairly large hands, but one-handed operation is still a bit challenging. I just accept it as a trade-off for the massive screen. Oh, and acting as if auto-complete errors are S3-specific? Please, go to Autocowrecks, you'll find a TON of iPhone-generated stuff on there. All phones do that. Still, if an iPhone is what you want, enjoy it. It's just a phone, after all.
