Samsung Galaxy S3 or iPhone5? (no bashing please)

You're lucky you have 4G coverage. Sprint only has about 15-20 cities with 4GLTE, and Chicago is the closest for me, which is over an hour away.

Glad you like the phone so far. You might want to consider rooting it and putting a new ROM on there. I'm sure you'll get MUCH better battery life and it'll probably solve a lot of your application/notification issues. Check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1563 for all of your phone needs :)

I'm really torn on upgrading to the S III. I'm up for an upgrade currently, and have until the end of December to get a $50 Best Buy gift card with my upgrade, but I feel like if I get the phone now, they'll announce a new one to be released in October (that's always my luck).

For the T-Mobile version, last I checked, last month, there's not a 100% daily driver Rom available. When I root a phone, I want EVERYTHING working as it should. That's just me, but I'm sure there is something in the works.

@devilgirl, is there a lot of bloatware on your phone?

Not that I've really noticed.I didn't see it for long while it was full factory (hubby snatched it from me and started downloading apps). What I have found is that for the majority of the preinstalled stuff I was able to either "uninstall" or "disable" it. Some of the pre-installed apps have been replaced by others that seem to fit my needs better.

As for rooting it, I probably won't. I never did jailbreak my old i.
