Should I keep my iPhone 4S or switch to a Galaxy S3/Note 2?

So the gist is, I've only ever used Apple handheld products (from the Classic now to the 4S), and I'm sick and tired of being locked down in what I can and can't do on my 4S, however I'm hesitant to switch to an Android as I've heard some grand and some terrible tales about Android devices in general.

So, being the tech-heavy person I'm, would switching to the Galaxy S3 or Note 2 offer a somewhat same experience as if I had a jailbroken iPhone, or would it be greater or lesser than having a jailbroken iPhone? And if one chose Android over iOS, any phone model recommendations (or suggestions towards the S3 and Note 2?) Thanks in advance!

You should get the iPhone 5. How about that for yah!

Android is ( although a great OS for customization ) still lacks the fluidity of IOS, even though they have recently started on "project butter", a plan to make android smoother, the OS is still pretty buggy at time, even if youre using a note 2 or S3.

My opinion is, stick with Apple. You have gone such a long way in supporting IOS, why not hold on the Apple fort and continue supporting it? Buy the Iphone 5, its a great phone despite the small screen ( but who cares? Unless you want to use it as a personal TV, no comment)

Ok look. I was one of those people who loved Iphones. I would always google the next iphone to read and know all about it. I was going to buy an iphone 5 when I was given the opportunity to try out the galaxy s3 for a month. Ever since that day I never looked back at the iphone
