    Anyone T-Mobile UK got an adapter when they ordered their nano sim?No person has that ive asked...It does seem only O2 UK are giving out adaptors,not sure on other networks..

    Two tech mates online have ordered one black one white with 2 per customer order,,now they think the white one is better and has better finish.So they are returning black model..Mmm i will have to wait and see ive ordered black.

    Downlink speeds are up on iphone5 v iphone 4 which i find hard to believe in reality but cant prove otherwise just yet..Other reports are saying battery is only slightly better with IP5 with it having to push extra pixels and the extra RAM bank taking up some more juice..My mates have been work allday so only had few hours with device..Overall outcome so far is very nice..

      AnonD-67255, 22 Sep 2012Don't led anyone mislead you. You are the judge here and yo... more2gb on the quad core S3 would be better if they optimised it for the exynos but it really wouldn't make that much difference unless you a heavy multitasker, because it has around 220MB only allocated for system processes so for certain things I doesn't matter how much memory you have, then Android has become very good at prioritising ram allocation so certain things stay in the memory no matter what. And it's only when you really start hammering the phone with open processes that the extra ram makes the difference.
      And that's why iPhone 5 doesn't need extra ram because when you close an App it clears it straight out the memory so you'll only ever need the ram 1 App needs and nothing is gonna use over 1gb.

          AnonD-67255, 22 Sep 2012Don't led anyone mislead you. You are the judge here and yo... moreWhat a load of poo have you not heard of governers ??So a 2GHz CPU constantly runs @2GHz burning through battery and producing most of it work as heat..

          RAM can be fast or slow the iphone5 is using 2 x 512MB RAM banks with clock speed of 1066MHz,,cant say for SGS3 but it could be just using standard 800MHz 1024MB RAM in one single bank.

                Clivens, 21 Sep 2012plz can u tell me why galaxy (siii) has 2g ram and iphone5 ... moreDon't led anyone mislead you. You are the judge here and you have your own brain. Samsung S3 uses 2GB RAM because it's faster and better with QUAD-CORE processor and that's like twice the speed of Iphone 5. Now someone saying that 1 litre of water is more than 2 litres of water is plain stupid so same goes here. The unit is same and Ghz and RAM is always constant. They do not get faster or slower themselves. They do what they show like 1GB of RAM means less room and 2GB of RAM means bigger room and more capacity to run stuff and that means pure and smooth multi-tasking. You can barely run 2 apps in Iphone 5 but you can run 5 to 6 apps simultaneously in Samsung Galaxy S3.

                Even then, you are the judge and you should use both to experience the difference I have described above and you'll know the REAL difference. Samsung's way ahead with sales and technology.

                Thank you.

                Apple has been stealing ideas again with their Swiss clock design.

                                Clivens, 21 Sep 2012plz can u tell me why galaxy (siii) has 2g ram and iphone5 ... moreIt's just the US and Japanese S3 that has 2gb but the international S3 only has 1gb.
                                And that's because the US S3 uses a dual core Snapdragon processor and the GPU it uses doesn't have its own memory built in so needs an extra 1gb for the GPU.
                                But international S3 has quad core Exynos and Mali-400 GPU which has memory built in so only needs the 1gb to run, and the international S3 actually runs better than US so ram isn't everything.

                                  Anonymous, 21 Sep 2012Having invited Erich Schmit on the boardHaHaHaHaHaHa...
                                  I knew you were gonna say that because you said that a few months ago when you actually criticising Google not Apple with that because you saying he stole some ideas from Apple to give to Google.
                                  So like I said just give 1 piece of Proper criticism, and if you have trouble just read all the quotes in this section and even normal strength Apple Fanboys have loads of criticism.
                                  And I remember last time you were asked to find any Apple criticism you kept changing the subject and insulting everyone so you didn't have to.
