In regard to the cost of manufacture vs retail price heres the first thing that struck me when looking at Iphone 5. Iphone 5 16gb £529. Iphone 5 64gb £699. £130 for a memory upgrade when on every other phone on the planet you just buy a bigger memory card for a few quid extra. Even if it is the best phone around the Iphone 5 is still a huge rip off.

Lucky You! I had my original pre-order from Apple cancelled last week only to be reconfirmed today, however I've been trying to get on on their 'Reserve' page for the last two weeks and have gotten nada by way of a confirmation email from them. Bloody frustrating given I can visit another High St Phone shop and buy one from them (albeit it more expensive)
If I don't get mine soon I'm going to cry.....and cry and.......sulk!

Ordered my new iPhone 5 64gb in white on the day of pre orders at and 10secs.
Actually, I manged to buy two as my mate couldn't get on the net to order his.
They both duly arrived on the Friday of release at
Had an IPhone 4s 64 gb but had an interested party wanting that, so that was gone.
Ive got every apple gadget out, I think,but not because they are apple,just because they are another gadget. :lol:
IPhone 5 is an ok phone but not really a massive difference from the 4S, roll on the jailbreak for it tho, and then it will be more like the phone I want

Sat here wondering how many are buying the iPhone 5 for it's 4G capability, when it's available.
Shame those on O2 and Vodafone contracts are in for a nasty surprise as Apple's 4G capability is in a different part of the airwave spectrum to the ones available to O2 and Vodafone, as well as several others to be honest as well.
:small-print:
Ho well, pays ya money and takes ya choice - just bet it's something several providers won't be telling their customers about unless specifically asked.

A Galaxy S3 is what I would like as well...
Can't see that happening so looks like I'll have to put up with my Galaxy Ace...

Hi All
Sorry to be a bit late to the party on this one.
I'm an ex Apple engineer and so naturally I'm more Apple than anything else.
I think it all stems from what you use at home for a computer. I used to use Windows up until 2000 when my (ex) wife wanted to buy an iMac because the colour matched the study. With OS 9 there wasn't a lot of difference with Windows, but the game changer was OS X. Amazingly simple to use and there was no going back to Windows from then.
Like Lilith and others have mentioned, the iPhone is fundamental to seamlessly having your home computer with you on your travels. Whilst I could get a Samsung Galaxy SIII (which is a damn good phone), I can't put up with the excessive size, and the fact that Andriod is susceptible to viruses. One of the major plus points about everything being developed having to pass through Apple is that they ensure you don't get your security compromised in any way. Even if you wanted to get around that you could always jail break your iPhone (not that I'd recommend it).
Having used OS X for 12 years now I'm used to computing without worrying about viruses, malware, spamware, adware, etc. I can go onto any website, open any e-mail attachment and not worry about my computer being compromised like my Windows counterparts. Being so used to 'computing without fear' is something I don't want lose with my phone.
I've had an iPhone 4 and now I have an iPhone 5 I'm not blown away by the differences. But to an extent that's the point. It's evolution more than revolution, and it'll come into it's own more over the next year as iOS 6 develops. Plus 4G potentially opens up loads more applications for both Apple and Samsung (still not sure if it's worth it at the mo though).
I personally think you can't go wrong with either the iPhone 5 or the Galaxy SIII....it's all about what's right for you.
Apple is right for me...and I'm very comfortable with that.

I have to take exception to a couple of points you made.
first, Android is susceptible to malware not viruses. And then only through unverified sources not the googleplay store. Any Android app on googleplay that needs comms permissions goes through the same type of security checks as stuff on iTunes.
Second, just because your OS is secure does not mean you are not open to other attack vectors. Quite recently OSX had been infected via the java runtime that apple themselves created. You say you feel safe browsing websites, that's how the infection was spread.
I have no real axe to grind here, but blind brand loyalty and misinformation really grind my gears.
