    iPhone 4S or Samsung Galaxy S III
    I should be getting a nice healthy pay packet in the next month or two and I am phone hunting. I've wanted an iPhone 4s for ages but I am having second thoughts as I've now come across the new Samsung Galaxy S III.I could just as easily buy both phones and have an iPhone 4S and a Galaxy S III if i wanted to but I'm not exactly sure how I'd use both if you know what I mean. But nevertheless tis a possibility.I'm in a pickle to be honest. Should I buy an iPhone or Galaxy?I equally like both to the point that I cannot decide. It's like a fat bloke choosing between Burger King and McDonalds!!! X_X

    What phone do you have now? If it was to me, I'd probably wait for iPhone 5 to come out and buy it then OR just buy the Galaxy SIII now.

    The iPhone 5 will be inferior. Get the S3 or the One X or the Note 2 which is coming soon.

    I don't think there is much point in getting an iPhone this late in the release cycle with the new one coming out in the 3 months or so. Either wait for that and then compare the new iPhone with the S3 or just buy the S3.

    How can you possibly know this, no details have been revealed of the iPhone 5.

    Both are great phones, personally prefer the iphone 4s, test out both phones and get what you think you like the most, as both are great, no one can guess your preference, ask yourself *why`* you've always wanted an iphone 4S, and if you think the GAlaxy can do it better

    I wouldn't get the 4S seeing as the 5 will be coming out in less than 3 months time.

    as others have pointed out, the iPhone 5 release is going to be released within 3 months any way. I'd wait till then, or just get an S3.

    This question gets asked everyday, ever thought to check the forums first....

    S3 pisses all over the iPhone 4s, I cant tell you about the iPhone 5 as we have no info yet.

    Definitely an S3. The novelty of iPhones have started to wear off in my opinion, as people realise how amazing samsung and android are (and for less!)

    iOS is the operating systems which iPhones use. It's inferior because it doesn't do nearly as much yet it's overpriced.

    My mum just upgraded to 4S and my siblings are so amazed by it. I honestly don't see the fascination. I have an iPhone myself and I feel as though just I'm paying for the brand. My cousin has the S3 and it looks awesome. Is it too late for my mum to return the phone and get the S3?

    Does S3 have personal hotspot?

    It depends, if she bought it from the Apple store, she has a week to return it for a refund; otherwise she will have to sell it somewhere.

    Do you mean wi-fi tethering?
