The wait for the new Galaxy S3 has been longer than anticipated and my iPhone has been running particularly slowly since I upgraded to iOS 5. Sensibly Jane waited for me to do the upgrade, saw the poor performance and decided to stay with iOS 4.

So how is the new phone. Well initially I couldn't get my phone to send email although it was receiving. Jane's phone wouldn't sync with her PC and therefore didn't download any of her contacts. Over a period of a week I struggled with a number of issues with both phones but eventually everything was working and the syncing was running smoothly.

I admit I went into a deep depression over the weekend when things were not going well. I don't cope well with technology that doesn't function and even less so when Jane is cursing at her phone, I take it personally although it isn't my fault.

So now we're really pleased with the Galaxy S3, it's fast, clear and has some very fancy features once you know how to work them. Android is stable
