    I went with an iphone 5 as well…I don’t feel the need to jailbreak it anymore. I think androids may be better if
    you feel the need to overly-customize your phone, but if you ask me there’s nothing wrong with the iphone and no need to fix anything. plus apple’s App Store is much better than android.

    the new larger screen does make a big difference for reading (in landscape mode), while not adding any noticeable size in the pocket. even with an iphone defender on it the size seems fine to me. the galaxy just seems so wide…but I guess it would be nice for watching movies and such, if that’s something you use your phone for

    I am SOOO glad I got rid of my droid DNA, yeah it had a bigger screen but I couldn’t use it one handed. Yeah it had wireless charging but how lazy am I if I cant plug it in. I can do everything I want now with my Iphone 5 that I couldn’t do with that other piece of junk.

    What is it you are doing with the iPhone that you could not with the Android?

    I couldn’t take video and send it in either email or text. I couldn’t use my Mac computers as easy and the software was much more difficult to do anything. But im biased to Mac and I don’t think ill ever change again.

    Oh and the camera sucked on it

    Just as a phone mostly. I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 (best thing ever) which I use for videos and internet when I don’t have my laptop with me.

    I’m kinda the same way. Customizing it isn’t a huge deal to me. All the live wallpapers and stuff just drain better… haha

    If you’re already invested in the Android app system, that would be a great reason to go with the S4. All (or at least the vast majority of) your apps will carry over to the S4. That alone will save you a good amount of money. On top of that, if you’re already familiar with the Android system, the main argument for iOS (ease of use) doesn’t hold up.

    Good point about it all carrying over. All of Samsung connects with Samsung Link

    Then a cheap pre-paid phone will do. 🙂

    Not sure how the app store is better than Google Play. For sure if you rank highly paying for applications, the app store does win.

    +1
    If you aren’t going to be using it for anything other than calls, get a tiny prepaid.

    Even though I prefer the iPhone I second this post.

    Android has came a very long way over the past couple years. Nobody ever thought Google would put together a mobile OS that would one day destroy iOS in market share. I think Android now owns 65% of the market and I just read an article that developers are now starting to do Android apps first.

    Of course, controlling the mobile OS market was pretty easy for Google since all they had to do was fallow what Microsoft did in the early 90’s with PC’s.

    I seamlessly interface my s4 and macbook pro. I would never give up the hardware and features of the S4 for an Iphone 5. it would be just silly
