Hi, so I've been using my nokia 7230 for years now, it's getting pretty old and I've never had a touch device.. feeling ancient and it's time to get something new.

So I've been comparing each company's top smartphone, I feel obliged to get an android phone, because getting a windows phone could make me miss all the cool apps developed for android, I don't really have much experience with neither of them, but from my little experience with android, I didn't like it, while iOS is a possible option too!
While the now so popular galaxy S4 feels like a cheapo phone with so much hype, most people recommended that one but I believe it's only because they have it.

and when it comes to the price, converting usd to egp makes them expensive for the average egyptian, but it's not just that, with all the taxes and stuff it gets 30-40% more expensive, so any of them will worth around 2 months' full salary.

So, help me deciding!

Smartphones are over-rated :P
Either wait till they get the Tactus button morph tech implemented or get a smart-watch instead :D

Don't waste your money on flagship phones. Instead of the Galaxy S 4, get the Galaxy S 3.

The Sony Xperia Z1 is bar far the most beast smartphone ever made!
If you want a device that'll receive way more updates, I would wait for the Nexus 5, which will be announced by Google on the 15th this month!

I'm personally really looking forward to the Nexus 5 as I just love the vanilla version of Android :sohappy:

It depends on what you use your phone for really. If you're just looking for a phone with texting, social networking, and a really user friendly interface, iPhone is probably your best choice.

I don't use my phone for much more than that because that's what a computer is for.

In my country, iPhone 5 16GB prices range from 508 to 580 euros, and it's $199 in USA. Galaxy S3 cheaper than iPhone 5, but it's still kinda expensive.

Galaxy S3 is 345€ in here, which is a bit much for me, but I do want to get one once I get some money.

i recently got this phone and the camera is amazing on it! But most of the apps i had on my iPhone, i cant get here. But the reason why i got this phone over the iphone (iphone user for the past four years) is for the camera!

+1 to this - as said above.
The phone will be great, and you'll be sure to get a lot of quick updates as it is Google's own flagship phone.
I currently have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (it is the Nexus 3).

You'd have to be insane to buy a Blackberry.

Windows Phone takes the shitty "features" of Android and iOS and makes them their own.
