    people that have iphone do so for what reason? Because the friend has one, you have to ask why is the warranty only 12 months and other manufactures 24 months...... thats right so they can rip you off with a warranty upgrade.

    I would look around, half the features they leave out on purpose are on cheaper phones.

    I love apple mac pcs for graphics, but the iphones are poor.
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    I'm loving my Nexus 4.

    And me! Bought mine unlocked from Google Play and have an unlimited data sim from Virgin on a rolling monthly contract. Not easy to get them like that though, but you can get them on contract.

    The calling card of the misinformed! People buy iPhones because they like them.
  • I would recommend you to purchase a smartphone with Android. Apple's iPhone pretty much has the same functions and UI as it had back in 2007. Ah, not quite. It has an extra row of icons this year.

    Don't forget it also has a faster processor, more RAM, LTE, bigger screen, higher resolution, new connector and a new design too. But in terms of SMS, calling, video chat, email, web browsing, apps, photography, music, video etc etc, this is all functionality the iPhone has had for years.

    I could have read it wrong elsewhere, but the LTE on the UK models of ip5 only will work on EE, when 4g arrives the ip5 won't work on other networks 4g.

    Yeah that's right.
  • Seems like there's not a lot of people impressed with the I phone 5

    I agree, the iPhone is getting boring. Same old same old.

    Personally I'm waiting for the nexus to come back in stock.Then I'm going for a 10 quid a month Tescos monthly rolling contract.

    Better phone cheaper contract, no brainer.
