Had my iPhone5 2 weeks and sent it back. Le boring.

I'm interested in the 5s only as far as the software goes. FINALLY it gets a revamp, so will be interesting to see.

Don't be daft Fut, it's horrid. Apple have nothing going for them bar the moronic sheep who keep buying their devices and their app store, their new hardware however is laughable. They've made a "budget" device which barely costs any less than the full-fledged one and the fact you have to pay £160 more for 48GB more storage in a 5S is pathetic.

I wouldn't say horrid....but maybe it isn't the best...

709£ is ridiculous though **** that

Iv had my iPhone 5 since around march (2nd iPhone iv had) and tbh they're nothing special at all.. However I am looking forward to see what ios7 is like but I can honestly say I'm going back to Samsung on my next upgrade, I had the S2 and even that is so much better than a iPhone 5 there's nothing about iPhones that keep me interested bar the wide selection of apps/games etc.. I think I made a huge mistake :')

They're unbelievably outdated now. Just throwing gimmicks at it and hoping for the best. Try Windows Phone 8.

I have a WP8 and you're right there is a big lack of apps. I'm not even a big app user though, but it doesn't even have a banking app ffs, I used to use that all the time on my blackberry bold so that's been a right PITA.

I'm more of a facebook/text/call/email person phonewise so for that reason I can't wait to get back to BB, as soon as I can afford a Q10.

I'm also missing a banking app but it's not a huge issue for me. Wouldn't mind one though. The phone is worth it imho. GDR3 & 8.1 will make WP awesome. The app situation isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

Didn't think you'd have a WP Tai.

Im debateing whether to get the Q10 but the lack of trackball....my bold 9900 is dead so using my Bold 9750 for time being....but blackberry sucks bro, the ONLY reason I use it is because of the keyboard for emails...

iPhone has done the job for me, simple yet effective, good camera, good games, good size, good music....simples.

Lack of trackpad...it has a touchscreen. Fortunately I never had any issues with with bold 9780

iPhone does NOT have a good camera though lol. It's actually embarassing how many people say "sorry for picture quality, iphone pics" after posting an imagine of their car over on VAG forums etc. The rest I agree with you on.

The iPhone's camera is alright when the conditions suit it - for example when there's studio quality lighting everywhere or it's noon on a glorious summer's day.
