      What scratches in daily use and been carefull my ip5 is fine,,it is a bit smeary on aluminium back with grease.If you put money and keys in pocket its bound to scratch..I cant seem to believe your comment..

      If its scratched then WHY are you not just returning it to Apple you have 14 days to return for full refund,,sorted.

        No one even cares about negative comments about i5 we are going to buy in the midst of savage Samsung wolves. I bought IPhone 5 yesterday during afternoon at Voda World worth R11,500,00. What I like the most about this it's the velocity thereof, it is very fast. ios6 it's sublime. Thanx Apple for this masterpiece...

                  Been using iphone 5 for 2, days,
                  Cool phone and very user friendly..BUT always have to keep it boxed cause scratches easily...And I completely disagree with the speed taste against s3,a rooted s3 with jb and also an active ad killer app,s3 is fastest, totally lag free...
                  I also saw the speed test in youtube,,
                  I wonder that s3 had updated or not.
                  Trust me,android can be very best, unless you follow some rule, for an example,,
                  If you don't clear your ram and kill applications on every 10 minutes, you will find at least 20 to 30 applications constantly running in the back,, which is awesome and ridiculous at the same time.
                  To me,i love both of my phones, they r good and efficient, because I run them efficiently..

                        i'm an iphone user since 2008 and i must say i'm pretty satisfied. however as time goes by, and as smartphones continue to give extrat or additional features like gigantic screens offered by android phones, i made a switch to android(although my gf satyed with her 4s) i admit i got lost on how to use the android festures, but eventually got used to it. one thing i really noticed is how scrolling is not as smooth as when ypu used iphone 4s for the first time. i tried researching on how to root the phone (sorry i'm really no a geek) but find it hard to understand the steps, also i use a mac. in fairness, both platforms has it's pros and cons-android for superphone/computer like functionality and iphone for simplicity of use and it's responsiveness. as for os update, you can rest assured the iphone you invested money with will have an os update as long as it's supported, that i don't know about android phones, unless you use a custom rom.

                                  What's wrong with Apple?...my brand new black iPhone 5 came with a scratch along the side, the touch screen is not as responsive as my 4S - sometimes have to press a few times before it react! And now I notice there is WiFi connection issue - my friend told me it's problem with iOS6, and one of the thing I can do to make WiFi work is to turn off security, which is crazy!!!

                                  Maybe I had made the wrong decision to go for the iPhone 5, thinking that it's an upgrade to my 4S!...to me, it feels more like a downgrade in a way. Maybe I should have waited for the Samsung Galaxy Note2 !?

                                  Any suggestion?...I only had my iPhone 5 for four days only.
