Mark, I am just wondering if you actually feel this way or just wanted to start a topic of conversation. In my opinion the 5 beats out the 4s hands down. Having the phone just that little bit lighter is heaven! I really did not think that it would make that much difference, but I was wrong. I will admit that I did purchase a Ballistic case for it as I like to keep my stuff as pristine as possible for the resale value. That said, if you do go naked I think that The new type of glass strips at the top and bottom make a huge difference in how slick the phone is while holding it.
As far as quality goes, I think that you are mistaken in your assessment. I have help a S3 and quite frankly it feels like a plastic piece of crap that would break the first time you dropped it. I think that having held the phone for such a short time and noting the weight difference you may have come to the conclusion that it felt cheaper. But after having used mine for the last 3 days I would have to disagree. I think it feels just as well built as the 4S and having the extra ram and boost in cpu was well worth stealing my daughters upgrade! Keith On Oct 1, 2012, at 2:41 PM, "M.
