          lio_drake, 19 Sep 2012ahaha u wanna talk truth? hmm let me see. apple comes out... moreYour facts are baseless, done without research. 2 million unconfirmed orders are nothing it's who wins in the long run that shows significance. Everyone likes to get their hands on the latest technology. Apple or Samsung. The sales will always drop when a new round of phones take stage.

          Looking at the truth and facts are much more convincing that blabbering from your mouth. It's your choice if you believe iphone 5 is better, but you have no right to say that others that have chosen an alternative is wrong.

            Best gaming device is still the Xperia Play,of course if you put the specs aside unless your a typical droid fan who says the spec is "outdated" or a apple fanboy who say this copied that OR a nokia fanboy who just cant get back to the real world with their "smoothness" crap.So yeah.

              Anonymous, 19 Sep 2012again, man i would love to know how well this phone would s... moreofcourse u wouldnt care if apple has 2 million pre orders. u are a 13 yr old fanboy.
              and how does gsm arena know whether its the best phone or not?
              there are no reviews or facts stating this conclusion u made. as i said let the reviews come.
              and u know why apple has such high brand value? its coz its original.
              Retina display?
              iOS?
              Siri?
              itunes?
              the processing chips?
              the design?
              u guys have nothing thats original.
              so ofc u r crap. absolute crap.
              talking about the advantage google's OS has given u?
              tell me 1 thing that samsung came up with on ITS OWN and nothing in the world at the moment can beat it?
              apple sells coz it has quality and originality.
              samsung sells coz u are copy cats and unoriginal.(yet CHEAP)
              and nope. the phrase is "nuff said". u r just trying to act all educated and shit coz u have no comeback. xD
              go sleep fanboy.
              "NUFF SAID" xD

                  lio_drake, 19 Sep 2012ahaha u wanna talk truth? hmm let me see. apple comes out... moreOh forgot to mention your precious iphone 5 is using LTE Technology.....hmmmm who owns this again and who doesn't have the rights to use it? Listen Every Manufacture copies off one another its always been the same. The difference is Apple make a big thing out of it and sue everyone. Android OS is better then IOS Simple as, its more customizable to the users preferences for one thing and you get a lot more apps for free on it and yes they are to the same standards as on the iPhone. Hardware in the s3 is better then in the Iphone however the casing is better on the Iphone5. ts the same as last year the arguement was which is better the iphone 4s or the s2. The s2 won mobile of the year. We will have to wait and see which is crown this year.

                      anonymous and d666 speaak the truth

                      It really proves how limited apple customers can be. Buying something without any reviews, specs, nothing. Same for the lag of course low end androids lag, that's why they cost 50 euros. I'd like to see apple make a phone that costs 50 euros and doesn't lag. But that would prob be a black and white screen phone since this icrap 5 costs this much without much to offer.

                      I hope apple makes a lot of fans, and when they want to sell one last iphone , they don't release any specs, pictures nothing, let all of you preorder. And sells you a brick. To all of you. Seems plausibile seeing as apple are greedy bastards and you guys don't really spend to much time thinking. Would laugh till the end of the world.

                      Almost forgot. Having this many preorders and people that want it doesn't make it better. Just shows how many limited people there are in the world, wich we all knew. I mean everywhere you'll go, and look, schools, work, cityes, countryes, everywhere, there will be more stupid people than smart. It's a fact, wich is once again proven right. Also the fact that you people relly on each other for a decision, and rush to buy icrap 5 shows that you are uncapable of thinking for yourself.

                        Why you guys can't accept the truth the new iphone is here, and it's time for you to take a bow- especially android/nokia fans.

                            This iPhone 5 is dated even before appearing, it doesn't stand a chance around even 5 month old Droids, and then you have to wait another one year before upgrade feeling jealous and envious to the more superior droids just like the 4S did, oh that must hurt...I have seen so many 4S users in that situation and iPhone 5 will fall into that again pretty soon. Enjoy your one screen banjo with behemoth icons hahaha....ugghh that ios is boring

                                sold 2mill per order before specs where still yet to be confirmed, no reviews nothing loll kinda shows apple coulda have used a brick for the cpu put ,it in a new housing slapped '5' on it and it still would have sold like hotcakes...

                                sale figures mean nothing to me, nor do brands.. im after the best phone period and apparently gmsa agrees here that the iphone 5 is not it

                                what were your words 'enough said'

                                peace!!!
