Ive currently got a desire hd, great phone, altho a little bit big and feels like your on a computer when typing etc, not a phone!!

Because of that i downloaded the iphone keyboard and messaging software, so it looks like a iphone but works like a Andriod!! All was good until i smashed the desire to bits, its been sent to the insurance and im using a iphone 2 or 3, dunno which and i love it!!

Thinking of selling the new phone there going to give me and get a iphone 4!! Altho mine now looks like a iphone, soon as you go into a app (settings etc) it goes back to htc and i hate it

Wish I knew what was going on with the iphone 5. I've had my 3gs since launch and it needs replacing badly. I broke the original screen after 18 months of abuse, made the mistake of fitting a cheap screen which lasted a week. Fitted another cheap screen and broke that inside a week too moral is do not but cheap screens.

I'd decided I wanted to move away from the iphone and saw the HTC sensation spec, waited for it to come out and made the purchase.. Lucky for me o2 had run me through the returns procedure when I bought it (it's like they knew lol) and it went back within 14 days. You think the iphone battery is bad, try a sensation! And you couldn't even see the screen outside!

I'm not sure how long the iphone 4 design would last with me, I drop mine a lot and the glass back wouldn't lkke it.

Just wish there was some reliable info on the 5, I know apple like the secret squirrell stuff but I'm not even sure if there's deffinately going to be a 5 let alone if it's going to be different than the 4 (hardware'wise)

Nothing wrong with the iPhone 4 battery. I use mine for a few calls each day, bit of surfing and still get home after a 10hr day and its still 90%+.

Some iPhone 4's are better than others with batteries. My original 4 was very good if charged every night, but my current one has to be charged twice a day at present, but I am using it on FaceTime for 1-2 hours a day

just got off the phone after calling to upgrade my 3gs to a 4 and the camp guy at the call centre said they've just been given the nod that the iphone 5 is out in the next 30 days. i've left my upgrade for now and gone on to a 30 day rolling contract, if the 5 isn't what i want then at very least the 4 will come down in price when the 5 is released so i should get a better deal.

Sorry pal, but you obviously know nothing about cameras as its not the mega pixel you look at in a camera its the picture quality in different lights.

And ill be the first to admit i'm a ''Apple bummer'' as currently i belive they have the best products on the market hence why most people who've had one stick with them.

ok your all jumping the gun a little.because i'm lead to believe the the 4gs will be released first rather than the 5.

Published Tuesday, Oct 4 2011, 17:40 BST | By Andrew Laughlin | Add comment










18.07pm Discussing new Apple stores opening in Asia, particularly in China and then showing a video of consumers.

18.04pm All eyes on Tim Cook, the new Apple chief executive. Its his first product launch since taking over from Steve Jobs. He says its the "privilege of a lifetime" to lead Apple after having worked there for almost 14 years. He's not wearing a black turtle neck jumper.

17.56pm Earlier, Interbrand placed Apple as the biggest riser in its 100-brand report, with the firm's brand value increasing 58% year-on-year to $33.5bn (Ł21.8bn). However Apple's ranking in tenth place still lags behind rival technology giants Microsoft in third and Google in fourth.

17.51pm TechCrunch is reporting that Apple's Japanese website has leaked the new iPhone 4S will launch on October 14.

17.40pm So, the waiting is over - Apple will announce the next generation of the iPhone at a press event this evening. Speculation appears to be divided over whether the firm will officially announce the iPhone 5, or a new midrange model called the iPhone 4S, or, indeed, both. Regardless, rest assured that something big is coming...

Reports emerged this afternoon that mobile networks have been told to expect two new iPhones and prepare for a shipping date of October 14. It seems the smart money is on this evening's event to reveal an all-new iPhone 5 and an iPhone 4S, which will be priced to serve emerging markets and to take on the cheaper Android-powered phones.

Apple is tonight expected to confirm the release date of its new iOS 5 operating system for iPods, iPhones and iPod Touch models.

The firm may also announce details of the European launch of iCloud, a new service enabling users to store their music on remote servers for access anywhere. The service, dubbed "iTunes in the Cloud", was launched in the US in June.

Finally, the much-loved iPod Classic is expected to be discontinued after a decade of housing people's digital music collections. Apple is likely to focus its energies on the next-generation iPod Touch and iPod Nano products going forward. o you can find this blog on digital spy

Actually, I was thinking of changing my Flatscreen tv and bluray player for a 7" Black and White and a Betamax.

Personal opinions are exactly that. I don't go logging into "samsung" threads just to troll them.

The iPhone is my preferred phone. Simple as that. I don't see the SGs2 being a leap forward like I hope the iPhone 5 will be. Even the recently mentioned stats of the 4s are superior to the Gs2.

I'm happy waiting for the iPhone 5, using my 3GS in the meantime.

Yes, but why class the Galaxy S2 as a betamax, at the moment Not just my opinion its the opinion of Which and all the rating people the S2 is the best phone on the market today!!!!!


The IPhone 5 is a massive test for Apple and they know it, it better work.

Android phones are selling 3 to 1 over the Ishit and if this IFuckup5 cannot even make a call correctly again they are going going to fuck it, as only Apple fan boys will buy them, which is a small market.



he latest iPhone 5 rumour: It is said to still have the capability built in to make phone calls...



Lol just seen the news "It will have a better Camera" what a fucking quantum leap, it will take pictures as well as HTC then!!
