But they are coming out with a bigger screen, LTE, and maybe NFC. We're talking revolutionary technology here.

No NFC on the new iPhone? Wat. How will they use their Google Wallet knock off software to pay for things?
I use Google Wallet a lot and I find it to be a nice feature/tool. NFC in general is pretty cool technology. |

Why anyone buys one of these smartphones before they've been out for several weeks is beyond me. Someone will be bitching about iOS 6 Day one, same for Windowz 8 phone. Let the masses beta test for you first?
I'm still on a 3GS. Will be upgrading to the 5 but probably after iOS 6.1 and I know how LTE is in SoCal. Might switch to Verizon. |

I have zero issue with the functionality of my iP4 but if the 5 has a much better Camera I will probably upgrade.
Apple for lyfe. |

Like I said before, I actually don't have anything against Apple products and i do think that they have their places and uses. I used to own an iphone4, i bought I phones for both my parents and my wife and normally recommend the iphone to most of my less tech savy friends. With that said, I admit that I have been completely put off by the recent lawsuit craze and the way apple is handling itself. It feels like instead of innovating and making the iphone better than the competition they are trying to drag the competition down to the iphone level.
Now, I will still buy the iphone 5 for my wife because I still like to have sexy time in the future but for everybody else, apple will not be my recommendation. |

I'm still curious, but so far I'm fond of the Nokia 920 and the S3. |

If I were to guess, it would be either: a) they have so many apps and music that they think they won't have the functionality on Android or W8 (for apps), or they think they can't transfer their music b) want something very easy to use and simple or c) lazy and don't want to do research and rather someone just tell them what to buy (trolling a bit here) I also don't know why it bothers me when people do this.

Don't get me wrong, I will likely be watching some live blog about the announcement on Wednesday, curious as to what is actually announced after all the rumours. And if it blows me away and still does when my contract is up next spring, I would consider an iPhone. |

All that being said, I have used Android phones and work with several people who use them. They are good phones and I can see why they like them. I just don't happen to like the UI. I haven't tried JB yet, so maybe my opinion will change when I do get a chance to really try it. I would be more interested in the Nokia as I like the industrial design and I like the WP8 interface. |

I got a chance to play with a Nokia 900 recently and animation and scrolling feels very very nice as well. My problem was that it wasn't immediately intuitive when you can/should scroll vertically or horizontally. Most times it's very clear as things are cut off, but there were times when words met the edge perfectly, or I felt there should be more stuff but there wasn't, etc. Quote:
I'm really happy to see Android really coming to it's own now - I was really disappointed w/ my Honeycomb tablet, so much hype for it but it was just not good. But as I mentioned before, Jellybean feels top notch. And I'm still interested in Win Mobile - the one ecosystem I haven't tried yet. The 920's low light/OIS capabilities have been impressed, but with an early Nov launch date, and them fibbing the advertisement has me somewhat reserved. Not sure if I can wait for launch and reviews. We'll see. I don't get how people can blindly adopt the next piece of hardware/software like that. Competition is good, and fanboy-ism really goes counter to that. If the iPhone 5 doesn't come with NFC like rumoured, I think it'll spell really bad news; that or a very quick 5S refresh next spring/summer. |
