    I've never owned an iPhone, although I've got an iPad and an iTouch. I was really disappointed with my last Nokia (N8), so have gone for the iPhone 5. So far I'm really pleased with it.

    So, what is odd - that these people don't like or never owned?
    I am not sure whether you ever owned Android, but you definitely don't like it. Why are you so obsessed with posting here all negative information on Android that you spend your life on looking for all over the web?

    In other posts he has mentioned he has an S3 and previously an S2, so it's not that he does not like it, perhaps he hates the fact that he does like it. :eek:

    If you see someone walking around today with an extra spring in their step, it might well be an Android user. Worth reading how sad Android users are excited about one app. When Android Phones are full of malware / Virus apps in 000's but for odd reason ths is ok with them

    android have done nothing about malware as nobody is getting affected by it,
    not true if any one search the Google for Android Malware
    Or try Google Play Malware
    you will know who is right by number of hits.

    Then search malware Windows phone or iPhone or blackberry and see how many hits are shown.

    The malware on Goole play can be stopped, how come Amazon Store on Android is safer then Google Play?

    And you get one free paid app a day.

    In case if you don't know what malware is, it's the doggy software installed on your phone without your knowledge which can send expensive text messages and make calls.

    The malware problem on Google Play is much bigger then Apple Maps. On ios people can also use other maps including Bing Maps, Google Map and Nokia Maps

    I know what malware is supposed to be, just that I don't know anybody directly affected by it, what has malware got to do with gushing reviews on the iphone 5? You are always harbouring on about malware, have people not posted on here about malware on iphones, doing just what you describe? :T

    As per post above search the malware and you will know which os have a higher rate. Much more important for users then one app.

    If you search for Google Maps error even after many years in use you will still get many hits showing errors with the maps

    As per reply, I won't be searching anywhere! malware does not affect you , me or many users, if I go onto the bbc news or listen to the radio, they are not reporting on malware but they have reported on the bragged about ios6 maps which have failed to meet expectations, that my boy is not a gushing review which is what you started the thread on, I'm off to wash my feet as it is more interesting than debating with you :)

    I am going to be 1st to market with the 'must have' iphone 5 upgrade. I will be listing on ebay a kit of a small pot of Black touch up paint and a very small brush, yes you too will soon be able to make your new iphone 5, look erm.. new!

    ~Mother in law is in the shed as we speak decanting some left over Rover Midnight Black into old yoghurt pots and uncle Pete has gone to Poundland for a job lot of kids brushes.

    watch this space!

    I was sat next to someone who had one on a train yesterday; I think I prefer the iPhone 3.
