Normally I advise people to go where their apps/music/video purchases are although that is a line that is further blurred now - oblique Nov 19, 08:27
There's quite a few Galaxy S3 deals on Black Friday. (Target has it for $79 on AT&T, $99 on Sprint, I think) -- nm - JaxSean Nov 19, 08:21 1
- And my argument for: cheaper, but works just as good or better. Plus, since it's android, the Google apps are extremely seamless. - JaxSean Nov 19, 08:23

You'll have to rebuy accessories either way. - spamlet Nov 19, 07:50 11
- I have no accessories really. -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 08:12
- And truthfully, given the same set of circumstances we went with the 4s to save $100 upfront and not rebuy accessories. -- nm - spamlet Nov 19, 07:51 9
  - Does the 4s have a working map program or did they all get upgraded to imaps? -- nm - Bacon Nov 19, 07:53 7
    - As long as you,re on iOS6 you'll have Apple's Maps, no matter the phone model -- nm - Guigue Nov 19, 07:54
    - They all have the same maps, but as I've said it's like saying Windows sucks because IE does. - spamlet Nov 19, 07:54 3
      - Aaah so you can load Google maps on it, but it doesn't come already loaded? -- nm - Bacon Nov 19, 07:54 2
        
        Google doesn't offer a map app yet, but you can use it through the web interface -- nm - Guigue Nov 19, 07:55
        
        Google maps will work fine as a webapp but there are a ton of other mapping programs. - spamlet Nov 19, 07:55
    - imaps -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 19, 07:53 1
