If the battery and performance tests there are accurate, the silly Android fanbois should have a real cry, since even their typical raw numbers arguments have been shot out the window.

Based on other Braun products that have been plagurised this is what it should look like.

[Cyberbob]

Updating to iOS6 now.

Voice assisted GPS navigation.. Shared photostreaming, Instant 'fob off workmates call with SMS' mode, built in panorama, all available day 1 on any iOS device purchased in the last 3 years or so.


But you know, Monopoly.

i guess i can officially be on team samsung now
picked up my SGS3. pretty happy so far, got it for a bargain

Currently have a (work supplied) HTC One X, seriously considering going iphone because this thing is just a smidge too big. The only thing that's really stopping me ordering right now is the nano sim... micro would've been perfect as I could just swap sims between phones, but the whole apple-must-be-different thing has fucked up that idea.

You know you can just go to your carrier and swap to smaller sim right?

[sidbo]

I want a SIM that will work between phones. AFAIK you can't do that with 2 separate SIMs as the carrier will deactivate one, otherwise you could end up on the network from two devices at the same time.

Your number can only be burned to one SIM at a time, the existing one stops working. You'd need an adapter to chop and change with the one SIM.

"But this one has 4G and a big screen!"

Yep, the only reasons people are flocking to the iPhone5.

Fixed once updated the Find my Friends app.

Wont bother updating my iPod Touch 4th gen... doesn't seem to be anything new that will work with it anyway. Still won't offer Siri, and a dumbed down mapping app is even more useless if you don't have GPS.

Tried using iTunes Remote today, didn't work. iTunes/Home Sharing was supposed to discover my device wirelessly, but couldn't, or wouldn't or didn't even know it was supposed to. I must have got a dud with faulty magic.

[Whiplash]

Well, Vodafone are offering pre-orders for iPhone5 in NZ and they're just awful.

Apple Totally Stole the Design of the iOS 6 iPad Clock

Kudos Telstra, arrived back home today from a few days away. shiny new phone sitting on my bench.

It's thin, it's light, it feels like quality. Now lets see if I rejoice or regret this purchasing decision

[p01s0n]

8.8 on the verge, lost points for more of the same but still recommended as the best smartphone for the masses.

black version looks fucking amazing, want so bad.

[cyc]

Whirlpool and Macrumor users (along with sites like Ifixit) are reporting the sides of black Ip5s to be very prone to scuffing. The white Ip5s are not affected.

[p01s0n]

i like to think of it as the iphone5 being characteristic and susceptible to exquisite patina

[TnT]

It's certainly a nice feeling phone. Light and thin. Screen is kick arse. Black is boss looking, dunno about the scuffing.

[chiQ]

TnT, please stick it into wifey's back jeans pocket, and get her to sit. If it slides out it's a piece of crap.

[A Corpse]

And if it breaks, her arse is too big?

Who puts a phone into a back pocket and sits on it though?

If it breaks she probably sat down hard on concrete. My mobile lives in my back pocket.

Out like, 'oh it's on the ground out' or out in 'it's not much further out than my iPhone4, god womens jeans have shitty back pockets, that's why my phone doesn't go in my back pocket.'?

[Ab]

The fuck who sits down with a phone in his back pocket

[TnT]

No one in *his* right mind does.

[cyc]

Scuffing issue on the black Ip5 is definitely real. Lots of pictures on Macrumors' forums of Ip5s looking pretty butt ugly around the chamfer/edges area.

Some pics on the first page of this thread.

[Dusty]

Rats...why was I so hastily ready to upgrade my iPad?

Oh well...at least I've got Siri now..makes up for it ....right?....right?

Apple gets caught copying someone else...'s clock.
