And to answer that last question, I present to anybody who actually reads this thread:

iPhone 5 64GB
Ick, white. Damn Apple for running out of black models...
So I finally got me an iPhone, and it happens to be the first one that's been stretched into a longer screen. It also happens to be the first one with LTE (the SGS3 only got an LTE release a few months AFTER I got it...). LTE is fast. iPhone 5 is fast. SGS3 is faster, except for the whole LTE thing. So now I get to dual-wield my phones - iPhone 5 in my right hand with LTE contract, and SGS3 in my left hand with PAYG SIM and 6 months unlimited webs.

All I can say is that whilst I'm putting both phones to good use, iPhone has a wider selection of games, but SGS3 is better with media. Especially reading apps like Kindle.

Would you have gone with the GS3 had there been a UK release of an LTE model when you bought it, or were you pretty much set on the iPhone to begin with?

I've owned some flip phones then I got the Nokia N8

It has a crappy OS, GPS and a decent camera while not needing a expensive data plan. Paying $200 a year for 2000 minutes is great.

If I did not have the SGS3 or iPhone 5, then I would pick the SGS3 LTE over the iPhone 5.

However now there are a few other good phones to pick from, so it would have been a difficult choice. SG Note II just to name one.

Thanks. I'll keep my ability to run my OS to my specifications instead of Apple's, with the ability to legitimately access multiple different marketplaces and sideload an app that is not available on any of them, all the while not drawing animals fucking each other.

Also, Apple Maps.

Enjoy your multiple marketplaces with a plethora of shitty apps. Running Android is like living in a city with McDonald's on every corner and one Five Guys compared to a city with multiple In-n-Outs and a Five Guys every three blocks.

Anyway, enjoy your quality apps.

Also, Google Maps came out last week.

I do however not have the charger pillow. It cost 80 euro or so, but maybe I'll get it at a later point when I actually got a good income.

I'll play games with my right hand and turn pages with my left. I'll select an ebook... and read it!

On-topic:
My current phone is one I got from my brother after my previous phone's ringer died. He had it since high school, so it was pretty old:
Samsung SCH-A950

It gets the job done (usually) so what more can I say?

I don't even wat

Anyway, I sense a troll. I suppose that's what the iPhone does to people; don't reply to him, it's what he's looking for. Inferiority complexes will do that.
