I personally choose the s3 and did so because of the removable battery,
and SD card slot, I got two years of 50GB of drop Box and at that time,
no longer in existence, a $200 rebate making my down payment 0. Having
said that, the one thing that disappoints me is that samsung doesn't
update the operating system the way they should. They have just brought
Android 4.1.2 for their handsets, (still 4.1.1 on t-mobile) whereas the
nexis 4 is on Android 4.2.2 and will soon be on Android 5.0. The
accessibility is better in 4.2.2 with the ability to turn speech off and
back on when needed. Short of initial setup, in 4.1.2 and earlier you
either needed sighted assistance to do this, or from 4.0 could set it up
initially but needed sighted assistance afterwards. Also, if purchasing
the Nexis through play.Google.com, it is cheaper than another channel
and less then the s3 unless subsidized. Finally, in 4.2.2 unless you
use ma which sort of does this, you can get specific status information
without having to listen to everything. It is because of the OS that I
would recommend that you go Nexis 4 over the S3. Here is a proviso, if
you could wait a moth, you might be able to get the s4 or wait for
Google to announce the nexis 5 coming shortly. If you need it now
though, the nexis 4 is the way I would go at this point.

Hi Paul:
I know some people don't like physical keyboards because they are small. I had
the same problem you did at first with accidentally hitting the wrong letter.
The backspace key became very popular. However, since I'm a fairly good typist
with the PC, I soon got used to the keyboard layout and can send a text message
fairly quickly. I still miss sending a text through my old N86. I was very fast
with that phone, even though it did not have a full keyboard. But you have to
move on with the times, I guess. I also like the ability to type my messages
with my Braille Sense U2. I think if you're a good typist, it's a lot easier to
adjust to smaller keys. If you're not, maybe having a physical keyboard doesn't
matter as much. I chose my phone so that I could have some choices. I can use
my touch screen, the physical keyboard, or the Braille keyboard on my
notetaker. Although I don't think Mobile Accessibility is where it needs to be
in terms of Braille support, it's a start. Again, that may not be important to
some, but it was to me.
