Claiming the SG3 is comparable in that regard is just obtuse.
This is all true. Most of the time, HTC phones have a more solid build / feel than Samsung phones, but for some reason, Samsung is killing HtC right now, so they have become Apple's prime competitor. Still, an HTC device on its best day does not feel as solid as an Apple device.

Nonetheless, I am an Android user, because the Google services integration is better with Android, and I can pick up my phone and see more information, faster than I can with iOS. I do like my iPad, though.
