brylee, 22 Sep 2012Amazing I couldn't have said it better even if I tried. In fact, the original iPhone was made of aluminum and PLASTIC, and the iPhone 3G was made almost entirely from a HARD PLASTIC material. These are the sturdiest iPhones ever built. Even today most of them still decent.

So nothing wrong with choosing plastic. Samsung chose well.

Really Missing Steve JOBS!! If he was alive he wouldn have allowed such lame things to happen, MAPS, Defective body. Infact he wouldnt have launched IOS maps.

Time for Nokia, It is continuously showing quality products like Lumia 800, 900, 610, 710, 920, 820.

i was really looking out for the iphone 5, was ready to give up powerhouse phones, and wigets on home screens, even the costum ability of android.
the last few months i saw some of the best phones ever being lunched all over the world, i followed all of the, check out all the specs, but the one i waited for the most was the iphone 5. alot killed it for me on lunch day, the fact that the iphone5 is really just an updated iphone4 and not a new design, but the maps totally stoped me from byinging it. byt this is why i am glad i never bought it. I will insted give my money to htc as even though the one x has a few thing not going for it, built wize, its alot better.
