[General Questions and Answers] demarcmj:
Clearly you missed the title of the OP... "HTC incredible 4G or Samsung s3?"

He's not looking for a comparison of the year-old Incredible 2/S. Not to mention the specs you gave for the SGSIII are clearly not those of the Verizon one (looking specifically at processor, for one example).

Getting back to comparison the OP wanted...

They'll both be great phones... so it largely comes down to personal preference.

TouchWiz vs. Sense 4

For folks who prefer vanilla android and are going to wipe any manufacturer OS off of their phone immediately, this may not be a factor. But for someone like me, and it sounds like the OP too, Sense 4 is a major factor. Sense 4 is an amazing OS. TouchWiz is a steaming pile of poo. It's as simple as that. You can always take TouchWiz off the SGSIII, but you can't pus Sense 4 on it.

4.8" display vs. 4" display

Some people prefer large displays, some prefer smaller displays. For me, I'm the latter, but it's not one of my major priorities. If not for TouchWiz, I could consider giving up my preference for a smaller display in order to get the SGSIII if the Incredible release keeps slipping out. On the topic of displays though... while size is mostly personal preference, in terms of display quality/technology, the Incredible 4G has the slight edge there.

Setting aside those two subjective/personal preference items, there are some areas where the SGSIII objectively bests the Incredible spec-wise, although the differences are not all that significant...

The SGSIII processor is clocked a little higher, but needs it for the huge screen. I don't expect much actual difference there. Not to mention, the jury is still out on exactly which chip will be in the Incredible 4G... so far most signs point to it being 1.5GHz underclocked... so that would erase the small difference here.

The SGSIII camera is a wee bit better, but not overly so. If The Incredible 4G had the ImageChip, then this would be a different story, but it doesn't so the SGSIII wins here. Having said that though, the Incredible 4Gs camera is still a great camera in it's own right and won't disappoint.

The SGSIII has 2GB of RAM, the Incredible 4G only has 1. Its debatable whether or not all that is necessary, but nevertheless the SGSIII wins here.

Aside from those differences, everything else is more or less equivalent. They both have all the bells and whistles... Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, microSD, removable battery, etc.

The only other thing to consider is the dev community. Originally, I surmised that the Incredible 4G would have a pretty great dev community... it was slated to be released right on the 2 year anniversary of the original so it would be capturing a lot of 2 year upgraders. Unfortunately, Verizon has botched the release of this phone so badly, that's not really the case anymore. They've likely already lost a lot of those upgraders and will probably lose more to the fact that it's being released more-or-less at the same time as the SGSIII. The Incredible 4G will probably still have a good dev community despite that, but not nearly what it could have been. Regardless, the SGSIII is being released on all major carriers, so it will surely have the better dev community anyway.

So as I said... it's mostly personal preference with only small differences in specs.
