This is the best phone I've ever owned (I've said that about every new phone I've owned :-))

1280 X 800 screen res is higher than the iPad 2 and it really is beautiful. I only have the iPhone 4s to compare it too and it beats the iPhone hands down, due to the amount and clarity of information it can display.

It's faster overall the iPhone as well, it might not be as smooth but it gets done what needs to get done faster probably due to the Exynos Proc.

My only gripe is you can't use the stylus on the touch buttons at the very bottom of the phone beside the physical home button.

If you can handle the size its a no brainer, best phone on the market and that includes the SIII I'd say.
