    hummm iphone 5 what are we (android folk) expecting,

    For countless people to be ripped of if paying cash or be duped into silly length contracts.
    i am not rich but a proud owner of a phone that i love sony xperia s. 32gb memory, 12 mp camera, software suits me, hd screen, hdmi socket. cost of phone £220 cash after old phone trade in. Contract none. PAYG sim on three 17.50 a month with all you can eat data and that is the biggy for me. streams net flix beautifully. my data usage this month is 3.7 gb. i nearly got duped into the t mobile unlimited data but i found out it meant unlimited browsing.
    so even if i had money i am afraid i wont be following the craze or queing up for hours waiting for the shop to open on release day. when i saw my phone i waited till price dropped some and then waited some more till phone shop had a deal on. money saved. £17.50 is extravagant for me.
    i on nights by way not normaly awake this hour:rotfl:
    The word about the scammers is spreading like marmite here in the westcountry.
    We workers all love it and the ppc hate it :rotfl:

    Liam, just because people disagree with you and have opinions about the iphone 5, dosent make them an "iphone hater". Maybe if you stopped calling everyone that with a different opinion to yours people might take you more seriously.




    :rotfl:

    Take the leading android phone, the Galaxy S3. Cheaper to buy and much better specs :)

    The days of iphone leading the way are over. Apple fans dont want to admit it and only seem to find comfort it bad mothing another mobile operating system.

    All of your comments are starting to remind me of a little kid with a new pack of top trumps.

    Next you will be telling me that your dad is bigger than mine.

    All I would do is suggest that you actually use and have experience of a product, before you start telling people about it.

    You have never owned an iPhone, it doesn't even look like you own the S3!
  • I suppose it's better than the 4s but the cutting edge has gone all apple has to rely on now is the brain washing power of the old days there hanging on to the zombie followers that will pay massive and when they come up with something good I am sold I will buy it , So at the moment it's a Nokia 920 for me because it leaps and bounds over iPhone 5 :D

    Goodness me. As much as you try your not going to belittle or drag me down to your level. Keep your childish remarks for the playground please. I came here for adult discussion.

    I said ive never owned an iphone, didnt say ive never used or tried one before. Also in my first post I stated I currently have the Galaxy S3.

    Specs mean a lot! Its the basis of establishing what apps are able to do and achieve.

    Try running Android Jellybean on a HTC Hero or a full version of IOS6 on the iphone 3GS - They just wont be able to handle it.

    Specs dont mean anything if your choice of phone dosent have them.
  • like it, don't like it, who cares. They will be bought and loved by the barrow load. Only a fool would try and convince others that one thing is better than another. If you like Apple stuff then great, if you don't then great. There's enough choice out there for everybody.
  • UPDATE: Apple briefly offered to include its spendy Lighting to 30-pin adapter with pre-orders for the new iPhone 5 in the UK, . . .

    . . . then removed the offer. . . .

    . . . Welcome to Lightning-gate.
