Goodbye HTC Windows 8x phone; Hello Samsung Galaxy S3

It's true....I went back to Android.  My two day experiement with the new HTC Windows 8x phone is over.  I really wanted to like the Windows phone, but I just guess I expected more.

After work, I spoke with my fiancé Amber and told her I wanted to switch it out.  I was still going back  and forth with either the Galaxy S3 or the Motorola Razr M.  While waiting for Amber to get home I looked online for deals on the Galaxy S3 and saw that every place had it for either $149.99 or $199.99.  I still can't believe that after 6 months of being out the S3 was still going for that much (under contract). Then I saw on the Google search that Amazon had the S3 on sale for $99.99 with renewing my Verizon contract.  This was the same price I purchased the Windows 8x for.  I contacted Best Buy and yup they price match.  Off to Best Buy myself and Amber went.

So.....I am the owner of a white 16gb Samsung Galaxy S3.  I have to say, even after two days I really missed the Android operating system.  This phone is fantastic!  Again, I did like the Windows phone, but not enough to use for the next two years or longer.  I really do think that Microsoft and maybe RIM (Blackberry) could make it in this cell phone world, but they will have quite a ways to make up to compete with Android and the Apple IOS.
