    And I'm just talking OS and UI here.

      What i hate is you buy your new phone then in case it scratches or you drop it you are forced to buy a case out of common sense...So you cant enjoy the phone you bought and liked the look of because it has to be put in a case of some kind,,i hate that..

      Build fones better is the solution. The Moto Defy was water resistant and scuff resistant and costs no more than a normal fone..So it can be done without charging extortionate prices..

              It’s too small, it’s too big, I am more private than yours, it too ugly.
              None of these things are defects that affect the functionally of a phone. Yet people use them as reasons to say “the phone I have is the best phone ever made and all the rest is crap.”

              “My daddy is better than your daddy” syndrome. LOL

                  Me myself I'm quite careful and have had three iPhones, without any major mishaps. Also I don't really mind wear and tear as that's natural I'm any device. If I did get a case though, it would be the Lunatik TakTik which I think is gorgeous! (Check the video while you're there)

                    Anthony, 08 Oct 2012http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=N7-T53_pOSM&desktop_uri=... moreUnderstand one thing, I am not trying to troll and at no time do I force anyone to thi k iPhone is SUPERIOR. I only prefer iPhone, because it suits me better, others may prefer SGS3 as it suits them better.

                    I am however against baseless bashing of iPhone just because one prefers Samsung, or bashing of Samsung because one prefers Nokia.

                    Your answers and others here who have been reasonable, probably mean we can discuss rationally. It also probably means that we are similar in hating trolls, whether IOS, WP8 or Android. To me, they are the ones who need to be flushed out of the comment sections.

What you guys don't realize is that issues can get overblown. You hardly hear any more scuff stories now, why is that? Because it was a small batch, but media blew it up cos iPhone news gets hits.

                      Many won't realize, but SGS3 was also plagued with similar issues at launch. Did you know that many complained of the phone simply cracking without any wear and tear? Android Authority reported it.

                      http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-casing-issues-plague-smartphone-samsung-repair-affected-units-101957/

                      The only difference is that there was no media uproar. So, be fair. No phone is perfect. I don't claim the iPhone is.

Now, with more than 5 videos all demonstrating iPhone 5 outlasting SGS3, you expect them to be charitable after the bashing they got last round?

S3 have a curved display and that makes the screen more fragile if it drops on any of the curved corners, but the TPU-case "Belkin Grip Sheer Clear" protects those fragile curved glass corners!

                                or do you want to drop yours without a case and come back to say how it looks after? be stupid and belive ever thing you see on the internet.

                                    By the way, not trying to troll. My personal opinion is that iPhone 5 and SGS3 are both the top dogs in the smartphone market right now. Both are excellent handsets that anyone would be happy with.

                                    My first comment was more towards Shakil and his trolling. I can take insults to iPhone which have a basis, but just plain out insults and trolling should be stamped out. Trolls like Shakil, and trolls from Apple side as well, have no place here and I am against them.

                                    Peace!
