We are lucky to have a lot of options for smartphones nowadays. Increased functionality, battery life and performance due to heavy competitions between android, iOS, WP and BB is always a plus for us, consumers. I rally hope we can stop bashing each other for our phone choices because, afterall, in would came back to each individual needs, taste and personal experience.

I just received my iPhone 5. I've been using it for 2 days and here a couple of my initial observations. This phone screams. Web pages load extremely quickly, battery life is exceptional (at the time of this writing - 1:59 pm-, battery percentage is at 86% and I've been using the phone for games and browsing since the morning), the most intense 3d games are buttery smooth and the screen is absolutely dazzling. The feel of this phone is beyond premium and I mine had no nicks or scratches out of the box and was in a spectacular state. The phone doesn't feel light at all.

Been using Galaxy S3 for 2 months after having used iPhone 4 for 1.5 years. I think I made a terrible mistake of ditching apple for samsung. S3 = Call drops, over heating, sluggish, useless battery life, MMC issues (check google to see 1000s of complaints), Kies doesnt work as well as itunes. iPhone is classy, gets ur work done, can be used with one hand, better battery life, fluid. Only maps, motions, 50GB dropbox are better in S3.

first 3 iphones are good, but the last 3 iphones suck big time. The only thing good about it, it look nice. That why iphones are for girls or grandmas or kids who like to play angry bird.

have booth phones, and i have to say iphone 5 is 3 times better than galaxy s3.

- why have quad core when usual task are so slow.
- why have SD card and much storage space when there are such bugy & slow aps ? (business apps no games)
- why have such huge screen when i rather use Iphone for browsing becouse of bad feeling when typing on Galaxy S3

I have two phone numbers (bussnies and private) and use booth phones everyday.

galaxy have just feew apps clean instal at 12:00 batery is on 60% with few calls

iphone on 18:00 pm is on 50% with active usage.

my conclusion, galaxy is for kids

bye

HTC and Nokia Lumia already launched better ppi rate, more than so called retina display. Nokia has highly sensitive capasitive display you can work with cloths on. again Nokia has reputation for best out door visibility. Samsun, HTC equaly good in fluidness of transitions with new OS's. Just don't make Fanboy comments. The fact is iPhone 5 lacks innovation and they are taken by supprice with number of Innovations competitor offered.
