Making the switch

I never thought I would say this but here goes, unless the iphone announcement that is speculated to take place in September knocks my socks off, I am going to make the switch to android I think. I have already made an agreement with Gazelle to sell my current phone (Iphone 4 for $175) and will need a new one. I havent seen anything that makes me really want to stay with the Iphone. I have an Ipad so I can keep my apps on there so I am not losing my investment in the ecosystem. I have owned and used the Iphone 3g, 3gs and the 4 and I love how smooth it is and love the appstore, but I have friend with a Galaxay S3 and a friend with the Note and they seem to be more fun than the Iphone, I have big hands so a bigger screen is a draw. I know there is a lot of discussion about the S3 and the HTC phone and the note, and wanted to see what everyone thought. I havent really thought about any motorola phones but am not opposed to the brand. so FIRE AWAY. Also, any really good android only apps I should know about?
