iPhone 4 to 4s didn't offer enough incentive for people to make the transition imo.
5 doesn't look too exciting either.
Then your vision's obscured.
I don't see that much of a difference, just thinner and the new iPhone is thinner than the iPhone 4/4S. Unless you want them to change the form to iPhone 3G/3GS kind of design again.
Fav thing about the apple presentation.
Yes, lets compare our new phone to a really old one, that way the changes will actually seem important.
I still have the iPhone on the left

I might get one of the Xperias Sony revealed a couple of weeks ago. Yet to jump ont the smartphone train
Exactly. It's a far cry from 3GS to 4, which after the time they've taken, I was expecting.
Doesn't matter, contract doesn't run out for a while anyway so I was never going to get it, but I might in the future, and hoped for something with a little more sparkle.

I've taken to dropping mine when it slows up.
It's brilliant because it resets the phone which is what it needs. And I get the satisfaction of watching the back come off and the battery pop out.
Think I'll steer clear then! Will need to replace my Sony Ericcson K750i sometime though.

They weren't actually Boris' words. Were published in his paper but wasn't an article written by himself. He's still responsible of course.
I went from 3GS to 4S. I'll probably get whatever the revision of the 5 is.
Watching the Hillsborough vigil. It's devastating...

I am rocking some Nokia phone from the mid 00's. It's awesome.
Yeah, he was the one with editorial responsibility.

I have an Alcatel from '97.

iPhone 5 I am disappoint. Well, good, but not amazing. Was hoping for fireworks.
I've got a 4 so I don't know if I will upgrade. Although I am due an upgrade in a couple of months...maybe I'll just revert to a cheap monthly plan. My 4 is a bit slow at times but nothing crazy.
Also, lack of google maps has me worried. Siri wasn't great in the UK and I don't know if the new maps app will have everything covered.

We're gonna get clobbered by Everton... their home record is disgusting.

Yeah but the fact the called it the 4S and not the 5 should tell you something.

Smart phones are like any other technology. You get what you pay for. If you actually need the phone to do reasonably demanding tasks, then go big, because you'll just be wasting your money on a phone that costs £150.
I would love a better phone, but the prices, for me, are far too steep. And really, anything I need to do, I have a laptop and desktop for. The phone gets me by when I'm out, but if I relied on it, it wouldn't be up to the task.
Good. Next step.
Don't see how anyone could argue against that.
My current phone is 6 years old, so I know nothing about smartphones or if I need one
5 doesn't look like a massive improvement either.
Its about what you'd expect from a new iteration of a mobile phone.
It certainly didn't warrant a huge conference for it.

fuck yeah.
Although I also have a Moto Defy now. Bought it for jogging tracking, but then I started using it to browse gaf/check mail and now I'm about to buy a Sammy S3 or an equivalent near christmas :/
It feels like a 4S2, it's a tick update not the tock it should be for a new number variant.
I'm calling it the iPhone 4"

Greatest phone I ever owned.
Owned this from when it came out to when I got my Galaxy Ace less than a year ago.
It's a great phone, like living in the future. You can text, make calls, the works.
Some fantastic memories with that phone. Early months of uni, not a care in the world...
S3 out of those two.
I'd get a 5 because I'm one of those Apple bell ends, but judging the phones on their merits, rather than the company making them, the S3 probably wins.

I keep hoping they'll do a major redesign of iOS (because it's a piece of shit) but I think at this point Apple are

I still prefer iOS.
S3 is good but I'd go 5.

I've said it once in this thread and I'll say it again.
Everybody needs to get down to wherever you do you're shopping and pick up some Cookie and Cream KitKat's.

I don't know if I want to try that. Can't deal with such a change.

I rarely eat biscuits, but I'm on to my second multipack.
Yeah, the only thing holding me back from moving to Android phone is, well, Android itself. The lack of consistency in updates, the android market is fragmented so having iOS-apps-quality is almost impossible.
So yeah, iOS is great.
But Android phone have a much better price. For example I could pick a Galaxy Nexus (unlocked) for 370$, in the iOS front I can only get an iPhone 4 (unlocked) for that price.

Ok phew, that took forever. Skimmed through a lot of pages and read through a whole bunch of them. Had so much fun, hearing Wilbury and Kyle was top stuff, and the cartoons you guys were posting all over the last OT filled me with beautiful nostalgic feelings.
On a guess I think I'll be dealing with around 60-70 quotes....sounds like an awful lot for one go. I'm thinking - go berserk and have it all in one post once I'm done, or to divide them into a number of posts featuring 10 quotes tops? Decisions, decisions...

I really don't get the app argument. What are the apps that Android's missing? There numerous apps for all sorts of websites & services. Or do people generally mean games?

You're crazy if you're going to go through everything, especially the mess this internatioanl break.
Because I managed to destroy the screen on my SE Vivaz and currently I don't have enough money to buy a fancy Android phone
First of all, let me apologise for Wilbury's uber-sexual behaviour, he just can't help it. Anyway, post them all at once.
Interesting rumor about Becks and Alexi Lalas buying Malaga.
