    Hated how Android and Google monitor/spam you.
    Build quality of note - very plastic and cheap.
    System flew but android was long winded.
    I was told to buy a virus killer?!

    Well I enjoyed my iPhone 4 and getting a 5.

It doesn't affect apple haters bcoz android is on the lead, you know apple can be the best phone manufacturers in the world if they will make an entry level and mid range phone they should stop the iphone era as if theres nothing new as well they should develop more and thats why more people are switching to android bcoz the ios 6 features are not new to us thats why we are bashing apple

                  digger, 13 Nov 2012good for the salesmanit's true. I'm not joking. Taiwan Hong kong, Singapore,Malaysia is like that. Indonesia, if they are a point were they are about to buy a s3, salesman will tell them for a another 80 bucks or so you get can the new iphone. It works all the time.

                      In Asia, if you ask for the S3, the salesman will say,

                      "for 100 dollars more, you can upgrade to an iphone5. It's just another 100 dollars."

                      another iphone5 sold, and commission to the salesman. It's so easy in asia. to sell iphone 5. Pretty much if someone can afford a s3, they can afford an s5. Especially in asian countries. LOL.

                          Anonymous, 13 Nov 2012Yeah and at the same time more bugs and spam with them. What can you really do with Android a... moresome of these apps are fake. It's a unworking app, so some hacker can just make money out of. I'm so glad apple decided to make it that, the app needs to be approved before being uploaded. It was bad at first, but now we understand why they are doing this. Apple also have top end developers writing programs for them, as for android, is small time developers hoping to one day make good enough apps to make the apple line up.

                            Andy, 12 Nov 2012The screen size on this phone is a joke. You get letterboxing when trying to play videos in fu... moreThe screen size of the iPhone is just perfect,as long as i can hold it with one hand.
                            When i wanna have bunch of neighbors helping me with holding the phone with two hands,one guy holds,another one scroll,then i'll get myself let's say SGS3.
                            People always forget two major things:
                            1. We should be able to hold the phone with one hand,and
                            2. We should be able to carry our phones without the purse,for example in the pocket.

                            When i need anything bigger than iPhone screen,then i'll get myself a tablet,or mini laptop,but as long as i'm looking for the phone,i definitely am ok with the size of the iPhone screen

                                    But top end Androids are like the BMW M5 because they fast as Hell but can do everything you ever want to do at a reasonable price.

                                      Just received my iphone 5 two days ago after a loooong wait for delivery and am NOT impressed! What I don't understand is that all the hype and hardly anything different to my 4s! After you upgrade your software on the 4s it's pretty much identical to the 5 other than the physical size screen! Not much else! So disappointed with you Apple! :(
