Iphone 5 Observations

[jeffdanger]

Went to Apple yesterday to check out the Iphone 5. Had a 3 GS and a 4 before my Galaxy S3. Nice phone, well made, light, but comparing it to my S3 just seems like a toy, the size is so small. Had vision that I might go back to Apple but after seeing it realized its just no comparison to the S3. Once you have this screen size, there's just no going back to a "mini" phone!

Your in the company of alot of people with that observation. While the i5 is nice to look at, but not touch (scratch, scratch) its just plain small and rocking a very very tired OS, could you imagine if Android hadn't updated the look of its OS for the last several years? Jeeeeez! The one company that comes to mind to me that refused to listen to anyone about updating the look of they're OS and follow the times was RIM, and look where Blackberry and RIM are today! They were mobile giants for more then 10 years, and now they are on the outside looking in because they felt they had all the answers. Sounds like another company I know right now that's on Top...Hmmm? All giants must fall sooner or later.

The i5 is what the 4s should have been, and in my eyes I love the customization of the entire Android OS. The only thing my S3 will get traded for is a brand spankin new Nexus with kick ass specs, otherwise I'm more then happy with my S3, which IMO is the best phone of 2012 so far.
