Samsung Galaxy S3 or iPhone5? (no bashing please)

[Shroomster]

Galaxy is not just over 4" it is 4.8". Also if you're used to apple then stick with it, unless you're the kind of person who can adapt to a different UI. It's open source so there is more available to android phones concerning apps and amenities. Also if you want a physical keyboard, or a specific style of phone or brand, odds are you'll find it in an android device. Plus you don't need to go to a geniusbar if you have a question, almost everything you would run into with android, is posted online in a forum with great detail.

I'm actually partial to HTC devices, I have a sensation, that's heavily modded and wife has a mytouch 4g slide ( physical keyboard). The closest phone to what you asked for is the amaze 4g from htc, its a little older but has a great camera. I'm not a fan of the "one" series from HTC as they are almost identical to the iPhone (no removable battery, no expandable memory). Hope this is helpful.

AT&T. In the area I am most in, I have yet to have an issue with cell service. (Plus, we have 5 lines on our plan, and we are still getting the best bang for our buck. I've looked at possibly converting, but nothing beats what we have nown).

No, I don't want an i5. I'm actually getting rather tired of Apple and how they run things. Whether it's my PC or iTunes, most every time I try to do anything on iTunes lately, it completely locks my computer and is such a pain in the rear end.

Starting to hate Apple. As stated above. I think I'll stick to just an iPod from them. As for a different UI, I don't see that being a big problem for me. I have a Nook Color that I have booted from a microSD card from Nook2Android to converted the Color to a full Android device. So I have had some experience with Android, just limited as the OS is a couple versions old (Gingerbread 2.3.4, running off of CyanogenMod).

I know Samsumg makes a good phone. Especially since a good number of parts in the iPhone are actually made by Samsung, it can't be that bad. I know Motorolla's from many moons ago (had a Motorolla on Nextel when I was working construction).

It seems as though I'm asking for the impossible.
1. A new phone (within the last few months), that's a screen size of around 4 - 4.5.
2. Excellent camera (I'm constantly using my phone's camera, as that's usually all I have with me at the time).
3. Fast (I know the i5 has a quad-core processor, while most others are still running only a dual-core).
4. 16gb internal with expandability
