You're not the only one. The widespread disappointment with the iPhone 5 is causing many people to give the S3 (and other high end Android phones) a try, and many are sticking. So much so that for the first time in over a year the gap between Android and iOS share is rapidly growing:

Even more notable is that past Apple releases (both iPad and iPhone) caused temporary (weeks-long) drops in Android share, but this time, the reverse is happening. Android is accelerating its adoption. Will be interesting to see what quarterly numbers reveal in a few weeks. Apple could be like the Titanic right after hitting the iceberg right now... still sitting strong, but water leaking in.
