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.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
