Brief expert addendum to the original thread: ’s three-way choice reflects the common trade-offs of the 2012 flagships. Replies from and lean toward the Galaxy S III for Android flexibility; (Nokia engineer) highlights Nokia hardware strengths; flags the app-ecosystem question. Those positions map to distinct priorities, so a short, practical framework helps where the thread’s opinions leave gaps.

Core decision checklist (concise):

  • App ecosystem and update longevity — historically the iPhone line kept receiving OS updates longer; the iPhone 4S’s final major iOS release was 9.3.6. (en.wikipedia.org)
  • Hardware and extendability — the Galaxy S III offered microSD expansion and a user‑replaceable battery, useful for storage and long-term ownership. (en.wikipedia.org)
  • Platform longevity and app availability — Lumia devices ran Windows Phone, a platform whose consumer support and store were later wound down; that affects long‑term app access for Lumia handsets. (en.wikipedia.org)
  • Model clarity before comparing specs — the thread’s “802/902” looks like typos; common Lumia models from that era are 800/820/900/920, so confirm the exact model when matching features. (en.wikipedia.org)

Context and practical takeaway: each recommendation in the replies reflects a valid priority (customization, camera/build, app ecosystem). For a buyer circa 2012–2013, match the platform to the most important need (apps/updates → iPhone; moddable hardware/storage → S III; Nokia optics/build → Lumia). For readers years later, those phones are legacy hardware with limited security and app support, so they are only sensible as cheap/basic devices, hobbyist units, or collectors rather than as daily drivers.

Best phone on the market right now in my eyes is the Samsung Galaxy S3

Ok. First a disclaimer: I am a senior systems engineer at Nokia.

My wife has an iPhone (recently got the latest iPhone 5 to upgrade from her previous 3g). I have an Android (actually 2 - Google Nexus Ones - personal phones), a Nokia Lumia 900 (work phone), and a Nokia C3-00 Series 40 phone (work phone for testing purposes). All of these are great phones, and using the Nokia Lumia daily has been generally a pleasure. It is reliable, responsive, and has some really good applications. As good as Google maps may be, they are still getting caught up with Nokia's technology (purchased when they bought Navteq a couple of years ago). Both Google Maps and Nokia Maps (with turn-by-turn driving/gps capability) are available on the iPhone.

The Lumia 920 is a major step up from the 900 I have. Nokia has the best cameras on any phones, and the 920 is no exception.

Android S3 is the best if you use it for multiple purposes includeing entertainment. there are lots of apps for android out there you can convert your phone into almost anything. go to play.google.com and you can see them. Nokia is doesn't have as much as good apps like that (as far as I know). iphone is ridiculously expensive and even if they were the same price, s3's hardware performance is better.

So if you use the phone just for calling and stuff mostly go for a Nokia other wise S3 (or iphone ) . go for an S3.
