    The new iphone will "look" nice, but will functionally be still retarded.
    Windows phone 7 is ok, but both apple and windows are still catching up with functionality to android.

    The S3 is superb, but so is the HTC ONE X. I have the ONE V and it's pretty decent too (for half the money).

    Apple have over $110 billizillin cash in the bank = over priced by a HUGE margin.

    I like the HTC one thing. Seems to be equivalent to the new samdung s3 overall but is slimer and lighter for the same battery power, AND it is a bunch cheaper that the snapple thingie.

    No you just belong to the tall poppy club, Apple are supremely successful (they wouldn't have all that money in the bank otherwise) and make first rate product - I know this as I use it after using windows and android shit for yrs.

    And you have used what apple products?
    Don't judge me based upon your ignorance.

    Profit is not a dirty word, yes they make a first rate product and yes I've used theior products - so nananananah, still doesn't mean that they are not over priced.

    Please do tell how you decided that I'm a tall poppy knocker? When over $110 billion cash reserves does not equal over priced, and yes i'm aware of their retarded dividend policy.

    arrrghhh - why is the planet full of idiotiotic teenagers willing to pay huge money for a set of functionality that can be bought for far less from companies without the "brand image"? I dispair at where this "brand awareness" is taking us.

    My problem with your post is I've had most of the "android" phones, samsung, sony, glofissh(?) and none of them are a patch on our iPhone's, have built my own windows computers to my own spec's and given up our mac's and their associated software for us are worth every dollar we spent. Apple wouldn't have the money in the bank if most didn't value the quality of their product - and I'm a sight closer to retirement than being a teenager.

    Yeah, apple makes good gear, I still think its over priced, and no you wont convince me otherwise!

    Example, last weekend I got Mrs P got a new laptop for her b'day. Top spec with a few farkles for just under $1000. The entry level maccrock was $1500 and was significantly down spec cf what I got her. So for another 500 pingers she would have got a "flash" macbook that has about just over half the grunt.

    As to your age, I'd already worked that out by looking at your profile before posting. I was complaining about my spawn.

    I have spent many months deciding what to upgrade to.

    Apple can fuck off and die a painful, horrible death with their crap. Android wil be the choice.
    Sony or Samsung.
    Motorola were a strong contender for a while as well.


    Apple can fuck off. I have had enough of their poorly built shit.

    The phone is pretty large though, but very light and the display is fantastic. Envy....

    Don't see how the Apple is over priced when mine (and many others) was free. Good phone, had an android for a while and kept crashing. Never had a problem with iphone so pretty happy. Also like being able to use it as a controller for xbox, tv, stereo, computer. mind you android probably does same thing.
    Try them out in store and see which feels best.

    What are you using it for?

    Mines a work phone that I can use to control our entire office network/servers and Cloud machines if I need to. That way if something bad happens at work while I'm at the race track I can fix it.

    Because work paid for mine and the boss is an Apple fan I got an iPhone. Would be interested in seeing if the Samsung Galaxy is a better fit but no chance of that.

    Probably the biggest factor in choosing which to buy is peer pressure - what do all your mates have??

    Unless you stole it or gave head, there's no such thing as a free phone. The "free" phones always have this shitty thing called a "monthly contract".

    Android/iPhone/Apple/Linux/Windows.....buy the one you like....but compare Appes with erm....Apples. You can't compare an Iphone with a $300 Android phone and you can't compare a Macbook Air with a $700 Windows notebook.

    Apple make quality products...but then again so are high end Toshiba and Samsung kit.

    I can control my telly and use VLC media player on my droid. If I really want I can control my Windows machines, some webby servers and do some "cloudy" wifi controller stuff but it beats me why the hell anyone would want to on a phone's 4 inch screen and with no bloody keyboard. Out of fashion cheapo netbook + wifi tethering is the shizz

    PC World, I think reviewed 30+ Smartphones recently and the top 2 were Galaxy S2 and iPhone 4S. Wife and I have iPhone 4's and one daughter has the S2. We all love our phones and wouldn't change so for anyone to say a particular one is crap says more about them as a person than about the phones...

    We were going to get iPad's but got a steal on two tablets so got them instead. Still setting them up so can't say how good they are except that they are easy to use and laid out logically. Anyone used to an iPhone should be easily able to operate one.

    Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!
