Why does Blackberry still have a stranglehold over South Africa? Are they just, literally, 5 years behind NZ on technology? (and so, 10 years behind the rest of the Developed World).

yeah returned a ip5 recently. lock button stopped working after ~2 months of use.
had to be fairly persistent for them to send a box with a new phone in it, they sure love people going to the "genius bar" (i couldn't think of anything worse) |

It'll make me feel extra cool when purchasing my latest turtle neck.
I was planning on the Galaxy S4 but i'll wait N see how much of a fuck I'd give about it not being "metal". I used an Iphone4s recently, no complaints there, was easy to use, almost converted but decided i'd buy the latest and greatest (probably will wait and see if Iphone6 is mint prior to making any jump in 'that' direction). Might just wait it out for a little longer and see what comes out Last edited by ?>Superman : 26th April 2013 at 14:12. |

the only real bad thing he had to stay was about the design and how HE felt it was gross in his hand (and the supposed people he handed it to) everything else was positive? better camera, screen, performance, battery than the competition |

it's a clear negative, or a clear positive depending on what you value as a consumer. The reviewer obviously thinks the S4 is poorly designed, that is enough to make it a "do not buy" for me because I value good design. Where the S4 excels is in it's guts and tech specs. I wonder these things: are guts and tech specs important on a mobile platform? Are application developers pushing the hardware limitations of mobile devices to increase demand for higher specs? Or are android / windows phone makers just having a tech spec race for the hell of it? |

so
faster than the ip5 better camera than the ip5 better display than the ip5 better battery life than the ip5 not as pretty as the ip5 MOST TERRIBLE PHONE EVER |

Alot of those points are subjective. For instance, I thoroughly loved the photos my Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro took. Regarding image capture, photographers who care would have a Camera Camera for taking photos.
What's the point of having a faster processor when you have no need for the grunt? And no apps to make use of the power? All relevant movie editing or music making, or 3d modelling apps are on iOS only anyway. The display may be technically better but who could tell the difference if we did a "blind" survey? Battery life is a fine point, but at what weight cost? I like how the iPhone fits in the hand and is light to hold. Lasts 3-4 days between recharges. Seems reasonable My phone just needs to do these things: - Helps me in my work, and outside of work - fit nicely in my hand and pocket. And sits absolutely flat face up on table. - ringer sound not muffled in hand or pocket - Suite of applications is consistently adhering to some design standards. - Worldwide support. - Added bonus: HUNDREDS of innovative music-making apps. HOW it achieves these things, I do not care. The fact that the final product does these things is what is important to me. |

Previous verge reviewer gives the S3 an 8 on design. New verge reviewer says S4 is an improvement on S3. But it's not aluminum and HTC is, so that's a 5.

I'm planning to buy the ivephone, but it will entirely depend on whether my ip4 still feels adequate to me. So far it's still doing an A-grade job, so I may end up going another 12-18months before upgrading.
I doubt many, if any, android havers have gone 3 years on the one phone.

okay fair enough top of the line prices are comparable but i imagine the average price paid for an android phone vs the average price paid for an iphone has a huuuuuuuge price gap therefore on average droid phones can be upgraded (or replaced) more frequently.
