I changed to the Samsung galaxy 3, the galaxy 4 had not been released when I upgraded last December
its the best phone I have ever owned and puts the iphone light years behind with features
I was paying £36 per month with O2 for the iphone with limited download txt messages etc now everything is unlimited for £26 per month and a much better phone and no additional charges

I've always been a die hard supporter of the Iphone and swore that I would never change over. However I've got to say the galaxy is calling me. Everyone is raving about it and the camera on it is second to none. Something better will always come along I suppose. That's progress

50 Reasons Why Galaxy S3 Is Better Than iPhone 5
I agree with Mark, I bought the best cover I could find in case I dropped the phone and the screen cover is a must working in a dusty environment

I've got a Nokia 6021.
It doesn't have a camera but it makes calls and takes them plus it does something called texts but I try to avoid them.
I'm not a total technophobe.
I've tried the internet on other peoples Galaxies and iPhones but it doesn't do it for me.. For me the internet is something to be enjoyed on a full desktop pc or at the very least a laptop.

a lot of feature come in handy when out and about Bob
I was at Convent gardens last year and could not find a restaurant we had a table booked at, I turned my maps on and the compass guided us to the front door
if we are in a strange town and need any materials, skips etc I can instantly get the information I require
another great feature with the galaxy is the barring of numbers, was getting lots of calls a couple of months ago with unusual numbers and just the beep of a fax, banned them all now

Yes I can definitely see the advantages.
I think for me it's the way I use computers. I often have multiple windows open and a cluttered desktop and the transformation to a phone is too frustrating for me. I keep finding myself thinking if I was on a pc I could do this and that. It's probably possible to do it on a mobile but I can't be arsed.
One thing I failed too mention is I have a firms laptop with built in 3G which makes the switch even more difficult.
