Up until just a month ago.

I never owned an iphone
I never owned any android phones

In fact I never used owned any smart phones before.

I had a nokia x3-02 so as you know, I do not know the history of how much android or the ios evolved. I know windows is very new.

I was only able to play around with these phones by playing with my friends devices. Most of my friends own an ip4 or the ip4s. Alot own the s3. I can't Have a bunch of co workers owning the s3. I only know a few friends who own the ip5. My sister owns a windows phone.

After months of sampling them ios and android through tablets and phones, or whenever I walk by my local apple store at metrotown, I can tell you right now, the ios to me comes out on top. It's just so smooth and simple. Quality build is top notch compared to the s3. Not impressed with that phone as they considered it samsung muscle phone. Sure as hell doesn't compare to the ip5 in quality build. NO f in way. Please don't tell me other wise. the ip5 is wonderfully built. I did really enjoy using the note 2. really did. No joke. Very nice phone. But much to big. Windows phone. Very good. Very easy to use. However IOS is the best all around ios on the planet. by far. Sorry fandroids, but just speaking the truth. I got a 4s for christmas, and love it to death. Sure It will be nice for a bigger screen. again, I won't be fully biased. apple needs a bigger screen, but in the end, ip4s works great for me.

        [deleted post]We buy the phone cause we like the phone. Nothing to do with apple. Do you buy a phone because af the company manufacturing it, or because of what you like? Btw, we are happy in this forum without trolls like you....

                          I am amazed at cheap low end iPhone launched, announced, it will route its vip status. How cheap it could be as replicas chinese avail fr 50$ hoplrss. IPhone 5 has not been successful and till now been repentant by users. Omega gold is still being sold at exorbitant price, when chinese replicas no bodies buys.

                              As far as i know, for normal sms to show delivery reports varies with different telcos.. and each implements differently.

                              apple might have skipped it to simplify stuff.

                                    [deleted post]Your name says it all... ihate ....... The MAIN advantage is: We, apple fanboys, like the iphone and ios a lot more than we do like note 2 - it gives us satisfaction to use it, and in the end we don't need uninformed haters to try and tell us what we should use or decide. So, I assume that's the same reason you like your note 2, only difference is that we don't force our choice down your throat!!!

                                      [deleted post]Ok 1. Feel free to add more if you want :)

                                      We can install 64gb worth of apps, or any rubbish apps on the apple store and our battery life still remain constant.

                                      Try that on note 2. ( you will see that android OS process will start to take over as the main battery drain )
