Hey!
I got my iphone 5 as a birthday gift. That was about 1 month ago. Until then i ve never had an iphone. Been using nokia since 2000. I could choose between s4 s3 and htc one. I took a good friends advice and settled with the iphone. I honestly must say that im amazed. The camera on the phone is brilliant, it records like a video camera. Also its really easy and intuitive to use. Everything seems to be where t should. Android based phones are more juiced up lets say but the feel and usage of the iphone are unbelivable. Furthermore it doesnt lag, i can open all my apps and still get the same response ehen wrtting an email or playing a video game. I have some cons also. The baterry life is poor in my opinion, you can use the phone for just one day with wifi and 3g on. Ive been used with my e72 which could go on for a matter of several days. Besides that the iphone 5 is the best phone for me. Hope ive helped people who are in doubt on what to buy! Cheers from romania!

> In reply to iOS @ 2013-05-20 04:51 from t1$E - click to readYes drunk mode should be available..When I go out I take my Nokia N8 its better for low light and can handle bass in video recordings instead of it coming out a garbled mess.I don't have twitter or email on it and disable network data so don't sms mms of phone someone under influence.With no twitter or email less likely to do anything untowards ..Just activate data if an emergency occurs or need a taxi..

Drunk mode could disable all means of contact but still be able to call 999,designated taxi company and one other person in case of emergency like a parent.

> In reply to danny @ 2013-05-20 00:59 from v0q3 - click to readI sat down few years ago and wrote down what I need my smartfone to do..Biggest are camera and video recording to be sharp/smooth,twitter,email,good notes app,good calendar,alarma multiple,led flash torch,good outdoor visibility screen so on..Biggest set back to move away from SAmsung was Sound effect it is Samsung concert hall setting..I tried all android apps but no success so could not buy other android company devices but got iphone and found app called Music Field used to be called Point Echo,this replicates concert hall setting and often sounds bit more dynamic..So now all my choices are iphone or Samsung..


So what do you want in YOUR smartfone what are absolute musts..Its like me I use iphone 4s and sgs2 as they both suit my needs no need to go for top end..

I have always bought top spec mobiles since 1999-2000 and only recently stopped few years ago because everything coming out was same,,Have had iphone 5 and sgs3 but sold them or sent back..Have tried S4 in Tescos but I found lag in video opening and taking photos and nowt s2 cannot do and these gimmicks on S4 don't really work..

I would wait a bit longer to see what apple bring out and get a second hand 4s to put you on..I have no intention of buying or trying a HTC fone their back up and updates are crap,so where their cameras speakers and microphones until this One model come out..Had Sony and tried mates Sony Z and just not good ..

That's best advice I have, people will argue forever as to which is best smartphone but the best smartphone in the world is the one that's suites your needs.

Which is better? iPhone 5 or HTC One? Which has better quality (both hardware and software). Im planning to buy one but Im confuse between them.

best phone ive ever had, way better than the android based phone. it NEVER LAG even if the storage is full thanks to the iOS. I also highly recommend to jailbreak it so you can customize the phone however you like so it brings you a lot of new features and tweaks

As for any slow downs when full I am going to fill my ip4s full tonight and test web,open games,twitter,send email, and see what happens..I know this is iphone 4s but I am now interested to see what works with it full.

Hey guys...If u wanna know a real and unbiased opinion, then read this.
In terms of usability and reliability, just go for iphone 5. Iphone 5 hardware maybe low compared to most high end android phones; iOS makes better out of it. iphone 5 may only have 1Gig of ram but most 3d games runs smoothly in iOS than a 2Gig ram on android. Apple products have only one disadvantage, proprietary. If you don't mind the bucks and only care for quality in both hardware and software; go for iphone 5.

I've heard from alot of people that iphone have all the games that other phones (specially Android) dosen't have! Well I don't think so. I have both iphone and Snapdragon 600 powered Android phone and I only find Nvidia Tegra Games on Apple App Store but not Snapdragon games like (Reign of Amira and Team Dragon).
