Whoa look at you go, Apple Taliban in action.... Everything I said was in relation to windows phone which how long have you used?

1. Still no spell check on maps and search. I wouldn't know honestly, I never use maps.

2. Actual spell check is not nearly as good as windows phone 7s which gives you a slew of words to choose as well as pick the most obvious one. Iphone only picks 1 word and is wrong most of the time. The english spell checker works perfectly for me, I type the wrong letters the whole time but the checker gets it correctly 99% of the time.

3. Sorry I meant every time you want to purchase an app. you can't save your password for app purchases which is idiotic. Also, very few apps have trials where on windows phone every app has a trial mode. Once in each session, if you install three apps for example you will only to insert it once.

4. No one doubts the apple store is amazing but I prefer to have features integrated than having to spend hours in the app store looking for apps to do things. If I just took a picture I don't want to have to save it so I can open facebook app, log in, find the picture and post it. I want to take pic, choose "post to facebook" and move on. I prefer to have the apps , a lot more useful.

5. Lock screen still doesn't tell you shit other than a text message that may come in or an appointment and time. WP7 lists a slew of things on the start screen. You have a point. However, the iOS5 has improved in this area A LOT.

6. I have a work phone which is email locked. I can not set up a personal email account on it. Therefore I can't sync with gmail or hotmail. Only work exchange. Only way for me to get my personal numbers on to this iphone would be through the sim or manually to enter than in to work contacts, which isn't ideal. So yeah, importing sim contacts while old and outdated, can be useful, despite what you and Apple think.  I never had a similar limitation but I see where it might be useful for some now.

Also, I buy monster PCs because there is no other way to run 3 monitors in 3D. However there are other ways for people to do pretty much everything iphone does, besides buying iphone 5.

I will buy the next iPhone because I am assuming that it will have a dual core processor to render big pdf files more smoothly than my current iphone 4 does. Hoping for a bigger screen too. The camera is already pretty cool, according to the reports , the next one is gonna be a lot better.

You get the point now.

I do get your point and I agree that Iphone 4 is beautifuly designed. Its probably the most esthetically pleasing device out there with still the best screen. I am really curious to see what apple is going to do to make people buy iphone 5 and not stick with iphone 4 which in my opinion is still one of the 5 best phones you can buy in terms of features and specs.


I agree. There must be more than Dual core and camera improvements to get people to upgrade the next thing. I suspect Exclusive iOS features to i5 at some point.

App store needs password every time you log in, WP7 doesn't.

I'm pretty sure that is there because a lot of kids would get on their parent's phone and purchase many things from the app store without their parent's knowledge. Kind of like when kids get on xbl and buy stuff with the "saved credit card info" store on there.

Once you type in your password the first time, then it stays active on the phone for about 15 minutes I think, so if you get dl something after you won't have to type it in again.

That's all fixed by not saving your CC there in the first place. Why are people so stupid that they do this? Just leads to easy theft... is it really so hard to type in the CC info when its needed?

Meanwhile I can't wait for Google Wallet on my next phone lol. But, then I'll add a pw to my phone's login screen.



Until my iphone4 decides to die on me I wont get the new one but ill always secretly want the new one. :(

I might just be a cynic but I believe that Apple has purposefully designed their products to survive until they release their next model.


Almost every company is doing this nowadays, modern economies are consumerism-driven. So why blame Apple?

I'm looking into a smart phone for business. I have been told by game developers I have talked to that I need an I-Phone 5 this winter. They said the new iOS will be different then the last one. They also said that there will be games made for I-Phone 5 exclusively meaning they won't work on I-Phone 4 or Android devices.

Honestly I was thinking of getting an HTC Android since I heard they make the best Android phone on the market. With Android having a larger market share then Apple I thought that software would be more prevalent on their phones. However after talking to several developers at PAX I realized that the leading gaming phone is I-Phone and I-Phone 5 will be the next big phone to have.

So obviously if all the developers say I need one, then I guess I need one. I've never had a smart phone before because in all honesty I never cared to use a phone for gaming, writing notes, surfing the web etc...etc.. But with the way businesses work these days I need to be connected 24/7 and a regular txting phone isn't going to cut it.

What do you guys think, should I get I-Phone 5 like the developers say or the best Android I can get? I'm leaning heavily towards 5 because if I am going to cover and report on the games industry I need to be able to play all their latest products.

All the money business wise is with the iPhone..  so yeah the developers flock to iOS.. even biggger gane companies like gameloft don't release all their games on Android.. ask Mr Stickball for more information.. he created flurry.com

If you are to buy an Android device, then the Best Android device is Samsung galaxy II. HTC sensation doesn't come close. GSII has the better screen, a better battery life, a better camera and the BEST browser between ALL smartphones. Overall the experience on GSII is smoother than any other phone out there, including the iphone 4. The only downside to it is the "grip" and how light it is, at least in my hands. Nothing major though.



If you're going to be previewing and reviewing smartphone games, then an iPhone is definitely the phone to pick. Whether iPhone 5 will have a lot of exclusives and what not, I don't know. I can't imagine Apple doing something so different that developers would prefer making exclusive games for that one model, but that's just me.



Just waiting for this to cause a price drop so I can get an iphone 4
