The laser keyboard and halogram features are actually quite impressive...

If true

After using Swype, every other type of smart phone keyboard is crap in comparison.

Do like the looks of the iPhone though, just not sure it justifies the premium pricing.

I feel sorry for you now. You are trolling so hard you just keep showing your ignorance. I have had a droid for 3 years. Yes I have made compromises in that regard.

Grow up.You are shaming yourself with your horrible posts that are suited for the general players forum.

My ignore list grows.

With that said, when Voice over LTE deploys, it will render the third radio useless, as the LTE connection will simultaneously support an LTE voice signal as well as an LTE data stream. This is likely why Apple left the additional radio out. In a number of months (hopefully, lol), the third radio will just be a waste of space.
Yep, that's probably one reason. And as the article pointed out, another reason might be that if Apple included support for it, they would incur a weight and size cost, which makes it bulkier and it starts looking more like a Samsung device (the irony). The form factor is part of what makes the iPhone somewhat unique and why the masses (aka sheep) flock to it.

LOL. A little reminder for me on a Friday morning that it's not Apple I despise, it's their fanboys!

Jimmy Peralta, a 30-year-old business management student, waited three hours before getting the chance to buy his new gadget. Was it worth the wait?

"Definitely," he said, noting that the new phone's larger screen and lighter weight compelled him to upgrade from the iPhone 4. "A little treat for me on a Friday morning, why not. Why not be part of something fantastic? It's just such a smart phone it does all the thinking for you, you can't get any easier than that."

All iPhone owners who have abhorred the battery life and bought a Mophe like me: rejoice. I have 100% battery now for over 2 hours.

It's a dream.

Same phone as the 4s. Just a little bit lighter and longer.

Best phone ever hands down

Finally. Good battery life is here for an iPhone

RIP blackberry.

Man I hope battery life is that good for everyone. I know the LTE EVO made huge strides there. The problem is sprint was so bad that the phone grinded on battery searching for signal when njot on wifi.

Anyway, Verizon plus iphone5 should be a win. I expect big things.

1 reasearch study showed these iphones are part of people now, many people think of their Iphone as their 2nd brain. so they can become very sensitive towards topic

Bwahaha, I never thought I'd like Apple. But, they clinched again.

The maps are fine, total BS from Google PR machine.

This phone is the real deal. Paranoid without a case!!!

PS Fedace - thats not my phone in the pic. Mine still has the plastic on it.

Seems like power player will soon be in that group. He acts like it already and supposedly he's never had an iphone

then he goes and admits that its his provider that caused the main problem he had with his 3 month old Android Evo; go figure...

Anyway, have you tried the new laser keyboard and halogram features?

Those look really amazing...

JD is your os laggy as hell like Droids? they never fixed that.

Another thing I love about iOS, is if you like to make music on their apps. Loowww latency. Droid never fixed this issue, and they plan to try and get it under 10ms in Jellybean. Which some people will never get.

Basically you can use your iphone as a practice amp with low latency.

Speak for yourself!

My Droid is not laggy at all...

Stop trying to rationalize your pricey choice with gross generalizations!

But you're in the minority of those that have 4.0, with a solid processor and memory.

Everyone I know that has an Android phone made from 2009-July 2011 hates it. There is a huge difference in quality between the 1st half of 2011 and 2nd half of 2011 in terms of quality of phones, and likelihood of getting updates.

It's too bad that 4.0/4.1 are such good OSes, but only 1/5 Android users have that OS on their phones. 4/5 are in the dark now, and likely will be going forward.

It wasn't laggy when I had Gingerbread. Nor was my original Motorola Droid laggy from over 2 years ago...

What sucks the worst is when my current EVO freezes up and runs slow because of the multitasking issue it has, they aren't even sure if Jellybean will fix it. And then the next question is when does Jellybean come out? And no one knows.

HTC basically programs the phone to aggressively kill apps to save battery. Problem is that they close and reopen over and over so fast that it actually lags the phone. iOS is great because you can just close the apps out in the tray and they are done. So much easier.
