Comment: Doesn't have anything special that makes my current phone redundant.

Good: A6 chip, solid build, LTE, iOS6, battery, comfortable to handle

Bad: price?....

Comment: building a huge screen phones just for the sake of being different and call it innovation is kind of pointless... some people would find big screens useful though. I personally don't find it attractive not being able to fully operate the phone with one hand... Ofcourse a bigger phone gives much more space inside to fit all these gadgets into it... and I think this is one of the hidden reasons why phone designers are promoting this concept.

Regarding apple's approach building the iphone 5, they just polished current design to its maximum capacity giving us maximum performance they could fit into the phone body.

Reinventing the phone obviously requires more radical steps, but would happily enjoy iphone 5 for a while.

Good: Everything, its way better than 4S if you still have the 4G on contract plan ^^

Bad: mabe the size, its a little bit BIG but if they had used the ideas of the people who made the video in google for their ideas it would have been way better.

Comment: I really could not complain much as would be getting mine for free from the upgrade of my contract to a 60GB. Still think its an amazing phone compare to all other phones with its features what you cannot do on it, whilst the iphone can.

You guys obveously dont seem to know whats good about it... have everyone forgooten about the Jailbreak capability whilst all other phone cant? the free apps? the use of SSH and all other Cydia component which expands the Apple iPhone capability so you can use it like a computer, you can even have a game emultor in there. It is a hand held pocket computer for Christ sake what can you ask for more - all what you ask are just extras, although it is good if they could do it, you can view and edit all Microsot component, edit and view PDF etc. you can do almost everything. has everyone forgotten about the usage?

Apple have created their phone as like an aid for their people, and not just for fassion, if you all think ahead it is way better than th S3 and all the others, what is comming out and the rest, the use and transport of files if you use the SSH to connect to PC, there is a programe that enable bluetooth on all other devices.

If there is a phone which can and would do all htese things its apple - if it was possible to make a hollographic phone for the first time and its capability, it would obviously be apple. Steve Job would obviously planned all of these out in his book somewhere of ideas before he died and for it to launch it of its component tiny bit at a time would probably be one of his big idea to help him and the company invest - they cant just release everything at one go. you just have to waite ^^

I just think its a waste of money for all those people who doesnt seem to know anything about it, its a crazy way of spending if your money if you dont use it to the full usage.

I have been with Apple since the start and I still think they make an excelent product comparing to any others.

PS. Sad for people who cant seem to think of it this way...

Good: NOTHING

Bad: NOT WHAT YOU WOULD CLASS AS INSPERATIONAL

Comment: If this is Apple's creativity at it's best then i think Samsung should give them 2 billion dollars, to spend on thier creativity department..Maybe samsung should step in and help them...From what ive seen of this number 5 there's very little difference between it and my HTC Incredible S bar it's speed and better Camera.... and my phone is outta date...Definitly this new number 5 is only for Apple fans because there's nothing here that would inspire any half sensible thinking person to buy it.... sorry Apple but what a let down number 5 is....

Good: erm....

Bad: 2 year old phone .. today?

Comment: The most uninspirational iPhone launch ever??

the iPhone 5 should have been a great "next gen" phone, but instead it is the iPhone4sXL. 2 year old tech today.

Its the last project Steve worked on apparently, but something tells me this was really meant to be the iPhone 4S. With all that was going on around the time maybe it has thrown them a little.

The 5 isnt revolutionary enough for a "5th Gen". To be honest its the most unimpressive launch of a iPhone. Not one feature stands out as being new or striking enough to pull you in! Its a stretched 4 & 4S with a bit of tweak.
