Default Upgrade time!!! Cell phone..

ha.. so the time has come for an upgrade..

Ive got a Iphone 3GS and have had it for 2 years now. Battery completely sucks and service is even worse.
So pretty sure i wanna get away from the Apple crap.
The speaker and ring isnt loud enought to hear driving down the road.

So... what do you guys have? And do you like it?

I have the 4s and love it. My first apple phone and no problems going onto 2 years soon. I know a lot of people with the s3 and they like them a lot too. I had an android before the 4s and hated it. But maybe they have improved now

My wife has a Galaxy S3 and loves it. I have only played with it a little bit and it seems like a solid phone but I have heard that the S4 is due out sometime in the next few months. If I were to buy a phone to day it would probably be the S3 or the Razr MaxHD. I'll keep rocking the Droid X for a while since Verizon wont let me keep my unlimited data plan with a phone upgrade.

Razr MAXX is the only way to go if you use a lot of battery. I love mine nice big screen long battery life 4G and super thin. Definately the way to go.

Ive been eyeing the Samsung Rugby Pro.. $99

My 3GS has been acting really crappy after i updated it, and i really dont want to go back with apple stuff.
My biggest quirk with apple phone is if i have a file on my Email and the iphone doesnt recognize the suffix it wont download it. My last phone i could download it, hook it to my laptop and pull the file off the phone.

I have never had an iPhone, but I have been through 3 blackberries and 4 Android phones. I am on the Galaxy SIII right now and it is the only phone I have ever had that I am not tired of. It hasn't slowed down, it hasn't broken, I haven't run out of room.

The one thing I know the iphone is better at than pretty much any other is battery life. I go through 2 full batteries a day with my Galaxy, but I am on it A LOT

The colors are bright as ****, the 4g is just as fast as cable internet.

The biggest downer is the size. I have large hands and I have trouble reaching all the keys with one thumb. i shouldnt be on it while driving, but that's the biggest problem is blasting through stuff with one hand. Other than that it's been great.

The HD video on it is really 1080 HD in the right light. I was blown away. I use this instead of my Canon during the day .

I have a 32GB micro SD card as well as 8GB internal storage, so I have all my music, documents, PDF< etc. You'd never run out of room.
