        I'd love to hear about that Battery life GSMArena. LTE and a little over 1400mah is going to be hilarious. That battery will be gone in less than an hour which is why most review sites (including this one), try to avoid talking about it. Lol

        Anyway, congrats to all that preordered the iPhone 5. I hope you all enjoy it.

              AnonD-8850, 19 Sep 2012What about multi-touch???
              if microsoft were as greedy as crApple and patented the touch screen, where do you think crApple will start developing the multi touch?

                  Naturally the reviews will b good, it is Apple were talking about. So of course the net would b flooded with great reviews by ppl who are yet to even touch the iph5 and r reviewing strictly based on what Apple has told them. And @ the end of the day, the iph5 is an improvement over the iph4s even if it is below the ranks of the top droids it will still be a step up from the iph4s. When compared to the top droids(which we all knw is gonna happen in abundance) it will b clear who is better in terms of hardware
                  I'm yet to see just how good the A6 is, but I don't expect much since the geekbench that Apple gave us isn't that good and is most definitely the best apple could do or they wouldn't have gave us the info. I'm looking 4ward to REAL reviews.
                  Btw GSMArena there is noway all the reviews were good since we all knw the droid fans are gonna be just as excited to bash the iph5 in a reviews as the apple fans were to praise it. Even the article you guys popsted on the iph5 announcement had criticisms.

When the human mind creates a phone like iPhone, you shouldn't just thank them, but instead let the entire world know what the Human mind has created ;)

                          KJZ, 19 Sep 2012Oh your getting to romantic and sensitive there,, Loving so... moreI appreciate your sarcasm :P I was just saying that people get overexcited about companies that, at the end of the day, only want your cash. And worse, you can get bullied because you don't like the same stuff, or you disagree on any matter. That's a little exaggerated, don't you think?

                            i went from blackberry to iphone, and from iphone to an android, and once you{ve tasted the android world your phone usage will never be the same, the freedom it offers, and there's no limit on applications, plus you'll never be chained to the itunes sh&t, android rocks

                                        It doesn't have a wow feature and doesn't need one its the smoothest, fastest and with the A6 processor continues to have the best apps it just works better.
