Who converted from Iphone 4s to Samsung Galaxy SIII?

I have not had both, but why are you wanting to switch off of the iPhone?

Basically just bored. I jailbroke the Iphone 4s and it's better. But still want Swype and some other cool features. (generic Swype in cydia sucks for iphone, completely a fake version that blows).

Still skeptical that any other phone has as good of a camera for low light as Iphone? I know Nokia has something....but it looks ridiculous and would lose too much going that route.

So if I can find something that takes as good of pictures in low light and snaps them quick I will switch. I have a 3 yr old and pictures are very important to me.

Hey that's completely understandable, the S3 camera I have heard is pretty good, certainly better than my Galaxy Nexus camera, again though, since I haven't owned either, you might want to get some speculation from someone who has actually taken pictures with an S3 or go into a phone store and take a few practice pictures with one.

Hope this helps.

I was in the same boat, just needed a change even with Jail break the 4s was missing customization.
With that said....I think the S3 is the best thing going.....I hace had it for 3 months yet and can customize this phone with practically no end. I ALMOST thpought of the iphone5,,,then asked myself (reminded) self why I switched in the first place.

Since you asked the question, I think you know the answer!!
Go and try out the S3, the screen is a little big form----BUT you do get used to it quick...I truly feel that a 4.3 in screen is the sweet spot (for me anyway)..
I have NO regrets in leaving apple.

I just switched from the Iphone 4s to the Galaxy S3 and I will tell you the camera is really good. Not as good as the Iphone 4s but, you won't totally miss your Iphone camera.

I switched because I was bored after four years with the Iphone and so far I am loving my S3. After a week, the size of the phone did not bother me. It feels good in my hand. No regrets at all!

I was the 10th person in one day at the ATT store in my neighborhood, to trade their iphone in for the S3 (This was the day after the Iphone 5 was announced).
