Brian's review seem to be more objective.

At least now you understand that i DO own the best htc droid phone. I clearly illustrated my problems with it in this very thread if you just read my posts with an unbiased mind.

I definitley do have a problem with sprint as well or id stay with with them and get the iphone on their network..but why do that? The sprint network is horrible for smartphones here. I thought it would finally get better but that was clearly BS so im happy to leave.

What is your issue with people buying an iphone? Have you seen how many racquts we buy here? Anyway, i paid $200.

We all know PP buys some rackets!

received a text on my iPhone from Tebow (TW Central Chapter) this morning. We were able to schedule a hit at night. Had a great time playing tennis and chatting.

All made available because of the great soft and hardware available on all Iphones.

The iPhone. Keeping tennis players across the world in touch so they don't miss a set.

You met the mighty tebow? Nice guy. Loved hitting with him at the CFl spot when he lived up here.

One thing about the newest smartphones..they are so thin. I love it..huge plus for us front pocket people. I am interested to see if the iphone is indeed the thinnest.

Ahh, but did you turn up late after getting timings confused? Good old iPhone timestamps!

It's very odd, i've been waiting for years for them to put it in! Every blog I seem read about a new iOS before it gets released, people are always saying this is the one that will have it implemented, only for it not to be. On the Apple forums there are countless threads of people asking for it.

By nature i'm all over the place and am always running late, if you're arranging something last minute over text, you have to guess when someone says they will meet you in 10 minutes for instance. I've used it for work too and it's even more of a problem, especially when the business keeps a record of messages about different clients. I work in law and sometimes records of conversations are used, as you can imagine, a message seen with no way of finding out the date or time for it is useless.

Yes. We've played about 3 times. Very nice guy. Unfortunately, having a bit of a hard time getting adjusted to humidity, but being a great sport.

It's so thin, it could also be used as a steak knife. No more need for spending on cutlery.

iPhone, helping the world save money on needless spending in cutlery, and saving space in kitchen drawers for more important things, like your monthly issue of Playboy.

I think it probably happens with all smartphones over time. The iPhone 4's in the family are quite laggy these days. Even so, i've heard of Android phones not being as responsive over time.
So far had it for 8 weeks or so and seems not laggy but i'm not a heavy user either. I did watch some of the Olympics and the US Open on it. I also used it for Sirius radio, other radio stations, and Pandora which did lag a bit but I heard it is a Pandora problem. I used the Carfax app to read the serial number of a car I wanted to buy and give me its history instantly. Bought the car. I also transferred files back and forth from my PC to the phone wirelessy using WIFI. i understand that you can also access naughty internet sites with it also.

I'm in love with the 5.

This phone will change the overall course of mankind.

It's like a KPS88: epic beast of a phone.

Astonished beyond words at how epic this device is. Personally designed by Steve Hobbs. In in Lourve.

Does anyone want to buy my 5 when the 6 comes out with a 12 mp camera in 2013? I will be getting the iPhone 6 for sure with the improved camera.

Exactly!

It was ridiculous when CNET wrote about the imap debacle after their inital review of the me phone 5 where they said absolutely nothing about the major problem

I wonder if they get paid by Apple or are just looking for clicks by brown nosing for Apple...

I guess you need another option if their website is flash based.

I assume you're used to making compromises when it comes to that...

Apples maps is actually beautiful. The 3d flyover mode is awesome. They did my building in summer as you can see girls laying out on my rooftop. No ioke. Friggin hilarious and cool.
