Got my new "replacement" phone yesterday. It's a Samsung Galaxy SIII, an upgrade from my
"dead" Galaxy Nexus. The old case fits too, and I trimmed an old screen protector to fit!

It's OK if you're an Apple aficionado, but I see no great advantage. That goes for computers too.
I've had several Dells over the years, and one MacBook Pro. Guess which one needed repairs. ;-)

To Don's point (and mine), neither is superior. It's what you like and what works for you.
