        I was waiting for Xperia T or V, but it's not even available yet for my country. The thing is iPhone 4s took more than 6 months to come here officially, but the iPhone 5 took less than that, it's available last week.

        Since it cost just about the same as Xperia T or V, I got an iPhone 5 instead, bye Sony.

          Iphone5 lauched last Friday in my country & it's already out of stock, those who got it had to line up overnight.
          Such situation never happen to any Samsung phone.

                  Well done apple. I don't even know if any other phone in history has sold 2 million phones in one country over a weekend period. Well done.

                  Was just a my local shopping mall, (Metrotown Burnaby Canada) 80% of people I saw was using a iphone.

                  Also ipad mini's 16 and 32 gb's at the apple store all sold out :(.

                  Nice.... simple..... well made phone. Worth every penny.

                          Hong Kong is not a country... and its population is only 7mil. Singapore also has a tiny population at 5.3mil. So you are effectively comparing 7 countries with China.
                          China has a population of 1.3 billon, which is most likely more than all those 7 countries combined.

                            iPhone 5 isn't the best smartphone in the world after Nokia Lumia 920, Samsung Galaxy S III and Note II surfaces. I'm not impress for what Apple had did to their iPhone and iPad. The design is always similar to its predecessors lols

                                      Omg.. Apple, Good phone. Good OS.

                                      I'm hoping for more open OS.

                                      eg. USB OTG, Bluetooth freedom.
