Dee, 12 Nov 2012Apple on a spending spree this year:http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-paid-21-million-for-s... moreApple knows they've ran out of original ideas so all they do is steal ideas because they know they can make more an stealing ideas than what it costs them in legal costs and fines, because it was Steve Jobs himself in a 1994 interview that said "Good artists copy great artists steal"

    Anonymous, 12 Nov 2012dude now android has more apps than iOS...so sadly apPle fans cannot brag about that :) even ... moreWell 70% of iPhone Apps have never been downloaded even once where the majority of Android Apps are free so people will install it just to see if it's worth using so I reckon Android developers have a better chance to make money through ads, but not that many are free on iPhone so the only reason they get as many as they do is because they made for Android because they have some chance of ad revenue and once it's made its easy to port it over to iPhone and hope someone buys it.
    But the iFans still actually believe it's the other way around and believe almost everything is made for iPhone first and Android just gets it because they feeling charitable, and maybe 6 years ago that might have been partly true but the fact is that the only reason iPhone has as many Apps as it does is because us Android users are subsidising most of those Apps that never get downloaded.

          Anonymous, 09 Nov 2012Yes Apps are better overall on iPhone but that's generalising because most are about the same ... moredude now android has more apps than iOS...so sadly apPle fans cannot brag about that :)
          even the quality of apps is good and in some cases better because of the functionality that android provides

                The screen size on this phone is a joke. You get letterboxing when trying to play videos in full screen. No google integration. The maps app is a joke too. You have to pay for most of the good apps on ios. It's like you haven't payed enough for the phone already. The notification bar compared to android jelly bean can't even be compared, and people use that a lot. I have both phones but come on guys, the iphone 5 could have offered so much more. The build quality is great, it's a shame its functionality isn't the same.

                      My Iphone 5 is not sending SMS, though every other app works perfectly.
                      IF somebody got the same problem and found the solution, please share it. Thanks

                          My iPhone 5 has been an amazing handheld device that I have used for less than a month. But since I came from a BlackBerry device, I started missing the keypad from using my BlackBerry 9780. The iPhone is nice and all, but I feel like it's too fragile to hold. So I stuck with my BlackBerry, hoping one day I will get back the interest of using my iPhone 5, which is just on my cabinet, collecting dust.

                                  One of the best features of the iPhone which makes it most compelling is simply iOS, which when combined and optimised with iPhone hardware, simply make for an irresistible combination.
