    Hey Galaxy S3 lovers, why the benchmark scores are better for iPhone5 than S3? You are trying to say that iPhone is bad and using old hardware, but the scores shows something different :)

      2. design and built quality: Lumia 920 and HTC 8X have great design and won't be prone to shattered glass in a drop like iPhones.
      3. User experience: WP7 is already trouble free. WP8 will be much better with less restriction. Trouble free and Android don't go together. Android has the most bugs out of any platform I have used.
      4. WP8 has choices of bigger screen than 4", better maps, and offline navigation.

                there are simple three things that apple is so successful today.
                1. customer's support: IOS update are equal for devices not older than 2 yrs.
                2. design and built quality: No rival in this field. Apple always made good design and best quality phones. (plastic samsungs phones look cheap for $600)
                3. User experience: Apple has built up this since ipod. People know that they can use their i-devices trouble-free and if not they know apple will update it with new firmware.
                If everyone follow those steps, they can be successful too.
                Android phones look cheap and updates are inconsistent across manufacturers.
                Android phones look cheap.
                Android UI is a bit laggy but this has improved over past 3 yrs

                        iPhone 5 has nothing on the Lumia 920. iPhone 5 doesn't have the most advanced screen like Apple claimed. Apple has gone down hill.

                          only reason apple been selling its iphone is because ppl are scared to changed companies. even if the other phones are ten times better than the iphone. i have had the iphone 4s and the s3...and after having both i thought i was a fool for ever buying the iphone 4s. the only reason ppl get apple is for 'the name'....its about time ppl open their eyes and stop being conned

                            Andro, 24 Sep 2012If you hate so much Apple and iPhone, why are you coming he... morenope, bcuz iPhone is more like a fashion accessory than a phone to most ppl. trust me, most iP users around me buy the phone for the looks and a fashion statement. they dont really give a shit about the hardware inside. i agrees that not all iP users are Sheeps but there r more Sheeps than real smartphone users out there.....

                              5 million sold? Well done Apple. A lotta people were waiting for the iP5 for a long time. But I must say they are coining it with a sub-par quality, over-priced piece of tech. I've had two iPhones before and if I ever go back to iOS I'm getting a 4s. Same phone just a bit slower, shorter and a LOT cheaper...

                                  If you hate so much Apple and iPhone, why are you coming here and leave your negative emoticons here? Anyway most of the iPhone 5 buyers are not teenagers, and they don't care that some other phone can work 3 ms quicker or has microSD slot. If you look on the iPhone like a phone, it's very handy phone and very easy to use.

                                  I have Galaxy S3 and iPhone 4s and they both are nice phones. iPhone is smaller and thats for me is big plus. If you are talking about screen size, then 3.5" is enough for phone. Ig you can carry 5" then you can carry also tablet, which is much better for internet, movies etc.

                                  Just don't understand. If you don't like, then why you should write that it's bad and apple is bad company? Funny that it's so bad, that ppl still buying it. And more than others. Maybe ppl just want simple and good phone?
