I dont know about you guys but I love to read phone reviews and mobile blogs, I love reading and learning about new emerging tech. As of late, every site Ive gone to raves about the Nokia N9, and yes I know what your going to say its "dead" its "obsolete" because of meego OS. But honestly, even under those circumstances I am extremely tempted to purchase this handset. Owned Androids, Ive owned iphones, Pre's, windows mobile(not 7). Ive become less biased in my mind. The fluidity of the OS, the simple swipe gestures are reallly starting to tempt me. I must
just purchase it, apart from that the design is truly stunning. Very unique what do you guys think? I love my gs2 dont get me wrong but I was just never a One phone man ....hope my girl doesnt read this
The phone itself (sans software) looks sexy as hell. I can appreciate the double tap to unlock feature, though wonder how it affects battery life. The launcher itself looks nice as well, I like the simplicity of it. I'll give it 3 months and bet someone can create their own version of their launcher.
I know what you mean about the phones thing. I cant help but oogle over the latest and greatest.

Glad I'm not the only one , well the screen is AMOLED so reports say battery life is good.
Yes the simplicity of it is what I like plus meego is open as well so if there Was enough support probably and ICS port. .... the build quality seems top notch I seriously might give it a shot
I been drooling over that Lumia 800. WP7 or not, that is probably the sexiest handset I've ever seen.

Really over n9? The lumia is like the castrated twin brother, sure it has the same outer design but no nfc no ffc no 1gb ram, I wonder why they chose a weak first wp7 handset

Just googled the n9, I didn't realize the two looked practically identical... I based my comment on looks alone, I could care less for the internals on those things. I'm shallow I guess lol.
Do any WP7 phones have 1gb ram? I thought they all had 512mb...

hes just trying to sell his product, that is all. what do you expect him to say, anything manufactured by his company and sold by crApple to stay away from? thats something that i would say..
The IP5 may indeed spank the SGSIII in some people's eyes, they do get to have a standard to go against now, it's an endless game of leapfrog and trying to raise the bar.
I'm an outlaw though, it's hard to be an outlaw with an Iphone, that's more of a yuppy/emo/hipster thing.
If it still has that stiff brick like shape its a doa
Lol don't buy that Samsung device, but the one we are manufacturing

Get the 4s then, cause it looks just like it, and the same iOS since 07 with a few added features.

Won't iPhone 5 be released like 4-5 months after initial international release of S3? That's an eternity for technology. I'd sure hope it beats the S3 handily.

I do believe the iPhone 5 will be a nice device but remember these are the same people that convinced iPhone 4 owners that they needed to by an iPhone 4S because of Siri and people actually believed they owned the best device because of this.
Luckily Android users are smarter then that and do not buy into the whole hype building from these manufacturer's. We need to see the worth in the upgrade or a lot of us will not spend the money like iHippies.
Plus we already saw what iOS 6 is bringing to the table, one of the main focuses is Siri fixes. lol
I dunno...
The thing holding back the GNex, SGSII, SGSIII and other Android devices is the AMOLED screen. If they had the display of the iPhone 4s but larger, it would spank the iPhone with one hand tied behind it's back.

That and Facebook integration, which they act like its never been done before. Taking more features from android.
What is everyone's thoughts about the new iPhone?
Me, I don't see much any difference between the 4s except it being 4" and having lte.

I think 4 inch would have been good last year by now is seems to small, I owned most high end smartphones, I think the one x has the best screen yet, and the Samsung s3 feels really good in the hand, the One S is better looking then the iPhone 5 IMO, but what I prefer now for my second phone is probably the new nokia windows phone it looks really good (including the OS), the only good thing about the iOS in general are the apps IMO, I never have a problem on my ipad or iPhone playing gta and I do sometimes on my GS3, I also miss tweetbot on my gs3 but I prefer jelly bean at the moment I can't wait till we get the official from Samsung

Samsungs got it in the bag with sgs3 and note 2 ....keeping the excitement alive with new innovation instead of flipping the old one around like Apple is doing. Seriously i was expecting much more from Apple they certinally have enough money to try new stuff so why arent they? i guess they are done, they are being blinded by the few ignorant sheep that call them "god" of phones. What about smart people who know their was something better from the G1 days,Apple cant compete i guess.

I would attribute the difference in software performance to the fact that companies put most of their resources into iOS development first then android. So you get a much more refined software on ios then you would on android.
It's honestly a flop. The back of the device is cute but besides that.. 4 Inch 4s. Same exact design and everything. I knew it was going to be bad but not this bad lol. I'm not even a legit Apple hater because i wanted the first Iphone (don't you lie and say you didn't want it when it first came out). Pretty funny though to be honest since i've been saying the 5 would be this ever since the rumors began like last year. :highfive: The ONLY thing i can honestly say apple wins over android is Apps. Been saying it for years even though i'm an android fan it's just the honest truth. The apps are better and always comes out first on IOS.
All-in-all a pretty standard upgrade across the board in typical apple fashion.
FINALLY the screen is at least somewhat larger. Fit and finish as always looks to be top notch. The single dynamic antenna is cool. I'm sure the new A6 processor will benchmark impressively. The camera looks to be even better and will likely be the best on a smart phone for the time being.
Some disappointments would be the lack of NFC technology (which Apple holds a lot of patents on, I would expect it to be integrated in two years on the new hardware model or next years refresh at the earliest), and the fact that battery life appears to be the same as the 4S (no improvement), new connector is kinda a bummer (although it was definitely time to upgrade)
Overall its a pretty substantial spec/hardware bump all around, and since people still buy them in droves I don't think Apple had much reason to do much of anything else.
A lot of the improvements are also part of iOS 6, the biggest of which appears to be seamless facebook integration from nearly anywhere.

Very true, which is why it was such a sigh of relief when all the GSIII's in the U.S. have identical specs.
In addition to a more refined software experience, the huge iPhone user base using essentially the same phone ensures that when a breakthrough app is conceived it will inevitably be made for iOS first and foremost in nearly all cases

You know that samsung commercial ? Where the ifans are waiting in line and in awe of the samsung galaxy s3's ? :cyclops: Yea that just happened to me in my daughters ballet class last night. Had like 3 different parents stop watching their kid to watch me video tape mine because they were in awe from my phone. Thats wassup. :good: They all had iphones which made it even more funny for myself. They were all like, "wow that is beautiful" "thats so big, but i like it" You should have seen their face when i unleashed the slow motion feature on them. WHOA !!!!! hahahahaha."What kind of phone is that" "Is that a phone" "Who makes it", Man they all lost it. Thought others would enjoy this story and if any one else has had the samsung commercial experience with their Note 2's. hahahahahahaha :laugh:
I don't actually have a story to share, but I just wanted to thank you, because I just woke up super bummed out that I have to work in 30 minutes with no mood whatsoever and you made me laugh loud with this post. Specially with "You should have seen their face when i unleashed the slow motion feature on them."

This phone CRUSHES any phone apple has ever made!! I have had ALL of the iphones and I can tell you that while the build quality is better they are heavily lacking in the software department and that is why Samsung is killin it!! I would rather have a phone made out of plastic then pay them greedy bastards one more of my dollars!! Apple has gotten to be too greedy and it's going to creep up on them in the end! LOL Just my opinion of course.... Maybe "the new iphone" that comes out next year will have a screen that I can see...? I need a MAN phone not a phone made for girls!

Hey guys happy holidays..just wanted to share a funny story that happened today.I was on my college social network site when the argument arose "apple or android?" I usually do not troll the apple users but what stuck out to me was a users response she said."I like apple because of customization. Android just does not have that!" All I could do was laugh. Anyways have a merry Christmas and happy holidays thanks everyone for keeping our phone kicking ass.

Don't forget about the wallpapers that end up getting covering icons and folders. Some of them I have seen even have spots already in the wallpaper for the icons to go in. I have yet to see that on Android. With Android, you can actually see the wallpaper and put as little or as much stuff on the homepage as you want...ewwww.
if you want real customization you need to try wp7.5 or 8....
now that is customization!
