People are going to take one look at the iPhone, another at the Sensation/Galaxy SII, one last look as the iPhone and then say, "why the hell would I buy something so much smaller" (and possibly inferior).

And please, don't say 3.7 " is more than enough... I have a 3.7 incher and I would love another inch or so.

Nobody who has even a slight knowledge in the current 'smartphone' market knows that Nokia arent even half way there. Their hardware is great, as it always has been, but the software is just rubbish! roughly 4000 apps for nokia....fantastic. Nokia gave taken on windows....that says it all for your beloved OS

The SGS 3 will suffer the same fate as the HP Touchpad and will not sell because everyone will be buying the great Symbian phone, the N8-01. Just wait and see. The hype of Android will fade away and the Android geeks will be drooling over the N8-01 and they will have the biggest buyer's remorse of their lives. The N801 will make everything even the SGS 2 look beta, over- priced, and outdated piece of tech.

Hardware does not bring functionality per se, but software does. The only news that is really noteworthy is indeed look&feel and screen estate, camera MP's and processor/GPU. But don't expect to be able to do 'more' with your new Iphone than you could with a version 4, it is just going to enhance existing options, maybe a tweak or new option left or right but nothing spectacular.

                  Like others have said, at some point a device is simply complete.

                    Some people on here make me giggle. I admit, i have an iphone, but i have a Sensation as well. But for people to say Iphone is nothing now is kinda laughable when Andriod owes everythnig to the iphone 2G from back in the day! And what phone has the biggest hype out of all of them....Iphones. No HTC, no Sony Ericsson and deffo no Nokia have people behind them as much as Apple. So what if IOS isnt for everyone, its the most easy to use software and its the most appealling. Iphones will lead the way, and for you Nokia lovers saying the N801 is will take over...get a grip! Andriod and IOS ftw!!

                              Apple has nothing, otherwise something tangible would've surfaced "in a bar" or so. Hell, didn't the iPhone 4 show up in Vietnam before release?

                              There is no iPhone 5, just a full spectrum of unfounded rumors. Of course, Apple likes to keep it that way, as it buys them time to sue other manufacturers.

                                I can now confirm that our mother company Deutsche Telekom has started a preorder for the Iphone 5. No specs and no details are available on the phone itself, but it can be pre-ordered for the EU (more specifically, German) market. Expected release in the first week of October.

                                      I'm wondering what the iphone 5 can offer, i think most people either stay with their iphone 4 (cause i can't think of a big difference besides dual-core proc.)"

                                      You are right, many who bought iPAd 2 wasn't iPad owners before. Same for iPhones, you don't need to buy every model, apple products are so good that you can still use one year old model like it's been released this year iPhone 4 is very powerful device overall. I still use iPhone 3gs which is two years old and it's still very good device (going to buy iPhone 5)

                                      Other hand if this is true, it's VERY BIG hook which get many iphone 4 owners also buy iPhone 5 :) http://www.macitynet.it/immagini/test/iphone5cover/index.shtml very interesting pics, if that's true maybe 4" screen and extremely thin device.
