How many people disappointed with the new iPhone? Are people actually going to buy a repackaged iPhone 4? Yes, because there are always sheep.
Apple is really great at repackaging their products, iPhone 3g > iphone 3gs.
I would stick with an iPhone 4 if.I already have it. Only thing great about this whole ordeal is that the previous versions are way cheap but a bit outdated.
Nexus Prime it is!

Can i just use this thread to get a bit of fanboism out.
They changed the camera and all hell will break lose on release day. And the price.. good god. For me in the UK i won't get use of 4G until 2013, not that i was ever going to buy this piece of junk. Makes me love my Desire HD even more.

Ok back to normal.
What happened with all the rumors of larger screen, teardrop design, supposedly thinner? Maybe in the works for next year.
If people actually line up for this and wait for hours it has to be the end of our civilization as we now it.

That was an Epic FAIL for apple. And when I say Epic, I mean Epic Touch already has all those features hardware wise! Nothing new frrom Apple but a repackaged iPhone 4 with the same hardware already found in other phones. In fact, they are already behind with the Nexus Prime rumored to have the new Exynos 1.5Ghz Dual Core in it, so by the time the iPhone 5 comes out, they will already be behind again.
Copying BBM, Android Notifications, Google's cloud, 1080P video recording, and hardware found in other phones already, I was totally disappointed.
Instead of being the innovators, it looks like Apple is now playing catch up.

I have an iPhone 4 and knew over a month ago that the new iPhone would be very much the same as the current one but with upgraded specs and internal hardware.
Nevertheless, I'm a bit glad because I won't feel compelled to exchange my iPhone 4 for the 4S. I will, however, enjoy using iOS5 on my iPhone 4 on Oct 12.
the major difference is just a faster CPU
and now it can do both CDMA + GSM in one phone
everything else is not even worth mentioning as they are really seasoning on top of the meat
their marketing team is pretty good at what they do, i'm assuming the 5 will be along these new specs but with LTE chips, NFC and maybe a little something else?...
christmas time?
Here is what the 4S provides:

Siri is really cool, and the upgraded CPU and GPU is nice too, but it looks like i'm going to stick with Android and buy the Galaxy Humongous aka the Galaxy Note.

Wow! I didn't realize how bad off MS stock is. MS stock
Google looks to be the highest earner. Google stock
Goes some way to explain why Apple feel so threatened by the other phpne manufacturers, Apple didn't have anything in this year's pipeline to compete.
Wow, I was waiting to see what Apples response to the Galaxy S2 would be and they release an iphone 4 with a different processor. I wonder how dumbfounded Samsung and Google and HTC are. The Christmas season is just around the corner and Apple is still trying to milk a phone a year and a half old. I swear, if they get record sales I'm going to lose all faith in humanity.

I guess there is a significant rise in stubborn people who claim that windows phones are better than android and ios at the moment(it may get better in the future but certainly not now).I got a friend who had an htc sensation and was stuck with sense and ics,the phone still lags like hell and no matter what he still thinks all android phones lags like the htc and is too stubborn to accept the fact that he choose poorly.
Nexus 4 is still a flagship phone, despite the release of Nexus 5. It's just one year old, for crying out loud. It packs better configurations and way better day-to-day performance than most of other available phones. I do not understand how it is compared against Lumia 520. Also, I noticed it is getting lower votes than the Lumia, how come?

Man I had that phone too, and without customizations it DID suck. Not everyone is savvy enough to root their phone (read: 90% of users) to make it more usable. But that phone was a POS until I rooted it. Before Jelly Bean I wouldn't have recommended an Android to anyone, let alone ICS. It was bad enough that I can't blame some people for having a tarnished image now (literally caused so much frustration).
Having said that, I'd recommend a Nexus 4 to anyone and their mother. It's user friendly and lightning fast with way more options than a Windows Phone. Although a Windows phone may still be smoother...

I have a lot of friends that think this way. Here in Brazil ppl buy those crap and old samsung phones like the S duos for the same amount of money they could buy Moto g then starts to blame android. Here on brazil ppl just dont realize there are life outside samsung world. When I got my N4 my girlfriend got OG and my best friend got S3. All 3 for the same money. No matter what I cant convince him that S3 for the same money was a poor choice. Now, after 4 months his S3 lags like hell, he is afraid to root and use lag fix. 4.3 and its trim support didnt arrive yet and he regrets every time he see me playing games or trying a new feature in android.

I guess its the same everywhere!

They buy s3 and after it starts lagging, they say android is a laggy os!
This really pisses me off!
However it's only human psychology that if something is costly, it must be good!
Maybe that's why a company like apple makes an i5s for 150$ and sells it for 700$!
They rob people and people love it!

see the comments bro,there a lot of wp fan boys in gsmarena,always criticising android and thinks windows phone is superior to android,its quite funny actually when the try to cover up all the downsides of wp,some of them responded to " lack of apps in the windows store problem" saying we dont need any apps then why the hell do they buy a smartphone
results are out
"The Nokia Lumia 520 found itself trailing at the start, but the most popular WP handset gathered enough support in the latter stages of the game to turn it around"

here in brazil is way poor. moto g is 450$ here .
also here samsung make lots and lots of exclusive entry devices with old armv6 processor, and so ppl blame android for hte lag.
when i took my nexus 4 and compared with my friend´s iphone 4 and when ppl saw that n4 was more faster. they were like "omg omg android is not lag, omg omg omg"
Wtf!! Tech writers and so called tech experts on tech sites are to blame here, they have no knowledge, use same techniques to compare, most of their views are on how a device looks, could give thousand examples of this
And once a phone is 6 months old, it becomes a dinosaur for them, they often compare it with crap.

What is it about the Nexus phone that wanting me to keep coming back...
I bought it when it first came out on the Google store. After a few months of using it, I traded for the LG G2. The G2 is nice and all but it is not as smooth as the Nexus for sure. So, I traded to Nexus 5 again.. After another month of using, I traded for the HTC M8. The M8 is nice build but with a case on, no one notice any different. I can not even deposit checks to my bank using the M8 camera. So now I thinking of coming back to the Nexus again..
Just wondering if anyone in the same situation like me..
Thanks..

i think you should ask yourself: Why the hell i keep buying every phone that comes out?
i've been though like 6 phones in the past year <.<
had the nexus 5 twice and just sold it again cause I managed to get a OnePlus one
I think we all love the nexus mainly because how easy it is to upgrade, customize and because its really the best deal.
I sold the note 3 to get n5 and n7 2013.
I can't complain at all.
Best thing about it is they are light way and easy to develop for
Nexus5 usually is the best on XDA for Development and Fun
I'm personally thinking of getting rid of my N5 and getting the M8..
I've thought about buying several phones since owning the N5 since launch day. I like gadgets. But I've saved myself the grief and just held on to the N5 as I've played with all the 'latest greatest' flagships (sans the 1+1) and still to this day there is not a smoother snappier Android device than the mighty N5. This phone has spoiled me bad with its stutter-free blazing fast operation. It's going to take one hell of a device to get me to upgrade
I decided to get m8, couldn't be happier. Although the Nexus 5 was and is a nice phone I find the battery to be mediocre. If it wasn't for the battery I doubt I would have picked up the m8
---------- Post added at 03:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 AM ----------
I will say I periodically go back to N5 and am reluctant to sell. I will soon...as I need to handle some bills lol
After using the iPhone 5s for a few months, I bought the OnePlus One, didnt like it... but that got me itching for Android again so I sold it and bought another Nexus 5. Literally just booted it up a few minutes ago. Super excited to be back.

Umm, I just ordered the 1+1, I have N5 currently. What didn't you like about 1+1? I am probably going with 4.4 on it instead of CM.

Mainly just its size. It was too big for practical use for me. I had a hard time making the decision to sell it, there is no question that it's an amazing phone, it just wasn't for me. If you have no problem with a phone that large, then you will absolutely love it. It is a seriously bad ass piece of hardware.

Tried the GN2? My Note 2 is my backup, love it but N5 is way easier 1handed. May just sell my Note, Note 2 and N4 and keep N5 and 1+1.

Yeah, the Note 2 is too big for me too. I guess I'm just not a phablet guy. The N5 fits my large screen needs perfectly. I also have a Moto X which I absolutely love, and an iPhone 5s which will get upgraded to the 6 when it comes out. I think 4.7" is the absolute perfect screen size, so I can't wait for the iPhone 6. Gaming on that thing is gonna be amazing.
leaving BIG RED to either Tmob prepaid or ATT GO PHONE.. Im kind of in a smaller town but all have stores here so I am assuming they are ok.. I bought a N5 on swappa.com. I am a little nervous to leave vzw been with them over 12 years but I am tired of the locked down phones and games they play.

Bad idea lol. I just came from an M8 its good but the 1 flaw which is the camera is such a huge let down. The M8 would be the greatest phone Android has ever been on if only HTC would quit ignoring us and put better cameras in their phones. HTC is like Nintendo, kept ignoring the community/tech industry suggestions for hardware for years now they're in last place. They have been for 2 console generations now. On topic lol, if HTC had the camera sensor from a GS5, hell even a GS4 it would be perfect.

Is the camera really that bad? I'm thinking of doing the same and getting the M8. I did see some HDR shots which didn't look as bad as people made the camera out to be. Even on the Nexus I keep HDR on to get better shots. Is the front facing camera better on the nexus also?
Here's something that I want to share with everyone out there, regardless of age, gender, region, fanboys of a particular OEM or anything.
If you don't like it, you can surely leave a comment or report this. So here I begin :-
1. for the love of GOD, stop pushing out larger phones.Some phones are over 6 inches, my small asian hands need 3 seconds to traverse from its end to end. We all want a sub 4.7 inch phone with good specs. Somewhat like Xperia compact, but practically useable. We need phones, not display units in the Olympic games.
2. Samsung should change its naming strategy. WTF is samsung grand, samsung grand prime, samsung grand max, samsung grand prime max, samsung grand prime max ultra pro, samsung grand prime max ultra pro mini, samsung grand prime max ultra pro mini kitchen sink windshield wiper??
3. Sony should sell off their mobile division also and go back to manufacturing cassette walkmans, (hint: they will be ip58, ip68, ip78, ip88, ip98, ip108, ip118, ip128 certified)
4. HTC is totally lost, they need to put some "SENSE" into themselves not their phones. And why not use Boomsound speakers while they think over at it.
5. LG is like a moon. Their market shares keep on fluctuating like the moon phases. Laser auto-focus my a$$.
6. Windows, well why not put curtains on them. Lame implementation. Denim?? seriously?? Cortana is nice, i admit it, but needs a shutload of bandwidth. She can suck my duck.
7. Xiaomi, heavy UI, very pretty, similarly useless. And how the duck do you pronounce it?? Shia-wait for it-oMi??
8. Apple, well an apple a day keeps the doctor away. After all the amount you pay them, you literally don't have any money to pay the doctor after selling your entire family's kidneys, duh..!! Might as well sell your brains in the process, wait iFans don't have any.
9. Motorola, moto e,g,x were well made. Poor mans nexus. Should stick to manufacturing police walkie talkies.
10. Lenovo, clunky, feels like using windows 95, hell maybe even windows 11th century if there is any such thing.
11. MicroMax, just wait untill i break one of your service center displays and windows and smilingly say "sorry sir, its not covered in warranty, have a good day", then you'll know how we customers feel.
12. Google, Nexus 6, people think why the hell am i holding a portable TV in my hand. Can't wait for your next 1023485479 inch phone which you would say is "surprisingly pocketable", well surprisingly "duck you".
13. Nokia, such nice, much stubborn, too fail. Amaze.
Hope you enjoyed it. I just wanted to share this.
I'm not supporting or disgracing any particular company, and in no way affiliated to any of them.
Just shared this for some fun. :v

Well that's hurt my brain but it's OK, your opinion...
Although I kinda of agree with you I totally disagree regarding screen sizes. I absolutely hate sub-5 in phones. Yes my Nexus 4 can be an exception but I just hate flimsy and small phones like the Galaxy S Series phones. Maybe its because I am used to 8 to 11 inch screens but its a pain typing in portrait mode with N⁴ and its really comfortable to type on a 7 inch tablet. I am waiting for the day I can get a reasonably priced 6 or 7 inched phone with reasonable specs. So far there's is no good 6 or 7 in phone that has sub $400 price and everything that's below $300 have really crappy specs.

1. No. I will never buy anything below 5.7". Just like most of the 80 million Note users. I'm woman with size 6 hands, and I can use the device with one hand.
Proper market research has indicated that most users prefer larger screens.
2. Where have you been the last 8 months? They're doing exactly that, the system is being replaced by a few lineups with easier names.
You are not the ruler of the world. There are 7.3 billion people in this world. Don't presume you to have the right to decide what everyone else wants.

Yeah, I agree. As it was something I just wanted to share, and you can leave your comments here.
Idk why people out there are so rude.. Including you. But it's absolutely okay to me. Thanks for reading it!

Because you were pretty hostile and demanding in your first post in this thread. It's all 'must' and 'should' and 'everyone'.
For instance, 'We all want a sub 4.7 inch phone with good specs.'. Clearly, 'we all' do not. The 5.1" S5 sold 10 million units in 25 days. The 5.7" Note 3 and 4 both sold 5 million units in the first two weeks.
You are proclaiming your opinion to be that of everyone, and people tend to react rather violently to being told what to think, particularly when they disagree.
XDA is also notorious for its lousy attitude towards those who post in Off Topic with less than 10 posts. Has to do with the rules.
Perhaps English is not your first language (From the looks of it, it isn't.), in which case you may not have intended it as such. However that is how it comes across to everyone else.

Don't worry, you do make good points.
Some people just need to chillax *cough*ShadowLea*cough*
While your tone was strong, it just means you are passionate about your opinion, which is great.
I'll stop here before this becomes a flame war.

Here's something that I want to share with everyone out there, regardless of age, gender, region, fanboys of a particular OEM or anything.
If you don't like it, you can surely leave a comment or report this. So here I begin :-
1. for the love of GOD, stop pushing out larger phones.Some phones are over 6 inches, my small asian hands need 3 seconds to traverse from its end to end. We all want a sub 4.7 inch phone with good specs. Somewhat like Xperia compact, but practically useable. We need phones, not display units in the Olympic games.
2. Samsung should change its naming strategy. WTF is samsung grand, samsung grand prime, samsung grand max, samsung grand prime max, samsung grand prime max ultra pro, samsung grand prime max ultra pro mini, samsung grand prime max ultra pro mini kitchen sink windshield wiper??
3. Sony should sell off their mobile division also and go back to manufacturing cassette walkmans, (hint: they will be ip58, ip68, ip78, ip88, ip98, ip108, ip118, ip128 certified)
4. HTC is totally lost, they need to put some "SENSE" into themselves not their phones. And why not use Boomsound speakers while they think over at it.
5. LG is like a moon. Their market shares keep on fluctuating like the moon phases. Laser auto-focus my a$$.
6. Windows, well why not put curtains on them. Lame implementation. Denim?? seriously?? Cortana is nice, i admit it, but needs a shutload of bandwidth. She can suck my duck.
7. Xiaomi, heavy UI, very pretty, similarly useless. And how the duck do you pronounce it?? Shia-wait for it-oMi??
8. Apple, well an apple a day keeps the doctor away. After all the amount you pay them, you literally don't have any money to pay the doctor after selling your entire family's kidneys, duh..!! Might as well sell your brains in the process, wait iFans don't have any.
9. Motorola, moto e,g,x were well made. Poor mans nexus. Should stick to manufacturing police walkie talkies.
10. Lenovo, clunky, feels like using windows 95, hell maybe even windows 11th century if there is any such thing.
11. MicroMax, just wait untill i break one of your service center displays and windows and smilingly say "sorry sir, its not covered in warranty, have a good day", then you'll know how we customers feel.
12. Google, Nexus 6, people think why the hell am i holding a portable TV in my hand. Can't wait for your next 1023485479 inch phone which you would say is "surprisingly pocketable", well surprisingly "duck you".
13. Nokia, such nice, much stubborn, too fail. Amaze.
Hope you enjoyed it. I just wanted to share this.
I'm not supporting or disgracing any particular company, and in no way affiliated to any of them.
Just shared this for some fun. :v

It's a true monster. I'd ordered mine a few days ago, and just can't wait for it. ^~^ However, it won't receive OTAs of CyanogenMod in India because of the f*cking Micromax. >.<
It's still a good buy.

No wonder you did not include OPO because you like it. As for OTA, this is not an issue because you can always flash.
We are flash-holic.

Do you own an OPO? And if you do, have you flashed CM 12 Nightly? I'm waiting for a stable version. But I guess they will provide us with their Oxygen ROM soon.
Moreover, rooting and unlocking the bootloader doesn't void the warranty!

Hope it doesn't have that Yellow tint issue, and some people are also reporting that their phone crashes and hangs. I don't want my device to be pathetic. I've been waiting since long.

The new batches don't have the yellow anymore. As for the crashes and hangs, you can avoid this by choosing a stable ROM. As for CM, so far so good but I still prefer other ROM though.

I got my OnePlus yesterday, and I have to say that it is a true beast. It doesn't crash, and doesn't have any yellow tint. I get approx. 1.8-2 GB RAM free on heavy usage. It doesn't heat up. And I love CM as always.
I have one word for it - "Superb"
Come on Guys and Gals have a guess what Mobile I have just purchased!? NOT to replace my stunning Note 8 but an addition too.
I feel as sick as a parrot, not only do I have 'man flu' but buying this mobile has not helped!

Nokia 3310
The real deal, not the new version..
LG V30?

Yep. iPhone SE 32GB. Why you may ask? I will explain.
Music is important to me. The Note 8 has a very pleasing sound stage but its not good enough for me so I had the choice of purchasing a dedicated DAP or an external DAC-Amp. I choose the DAC-Amp that being the Oppo HA-2-SE.
When connected to the USB-C connection the Oppo will take command of the music players internals and use the Note 8 as the source only.
PROBLEM. The Oppo doesn't like the USB-C connections? You see the Oppo can not only replace the mobiles amplifier and DAC but also act as a battery back up to the mobile. :good:
Not with the Note 8....When connected the Note 8 charges the bloody Oppo!? :silly: At present there are only unsatisfactory work around's for this and I don't like any of them hence my buying an iPhone to use purely as the source for the Oppo.
I have joined an Apple forum and much to my absolute amazement they have a thread dedicated to the Note 8. Also other android windows mobiles. I could never see that working here. WE can't even agree on the colour of snow never alone the differences between IOS and Android. Could you imagine it? :angel:
I now own an Apple device again. Lets see how that goes. I bought it last night and have yet to remove the plastic cover as once I do that I cannot return it for a refund. God that one point alone truly pushes my buttons. I must not set myself off. the sky is blue and the sea is green.

I should send you a gift for guessing. It may well end up the iPhone SE!
I must behave myself! Stop that! (talking to myself).
You on macrumors? That forum is an absolute blast to watch, especially around release time.
I've been tempted to buy an iPhone through the years, because I write apps for iPhones. Haven't done it so far. That and just about every computing device that I own is made by Apple.

What?!? NO! not another Apple device! I really hate Apple's modern flat UI design, that's why i switched to Android, and also back to Windows!!!!!
iOS 6 and Mac OS 10.8 are the last great versions of those OSes, in my opinion. And then Google seems to be slowly going the way of the Apple, both in hardware and software.
I just wish I had the power to develop some kind of unofficial hacks to re-skin Mac OS and/or iOS with the classic skeuomorphic UI design I love, or even very good clones of those OSes as it was from those days, but with some changes.

Yeee. Like a lamb to the slaughter eh!

BTW I have still not opened the iPhone SE box! It just doesn't feel right? Plus a 4" screen after the Note 8! Dare I open that box?
Just an update.
I sold the iPhone SE. Bloomin spectacular mobile, always wanted one because its one of my personal favourites in terms of design, I like the square sides. The quality was, as expected, superb and it ran like a dream. Perhaps the most accomplished 4" screen mobile around at present, certainly one of them.
Looked at the iPhone X. The screen for some reason gave me migraine as it does some others? Bought the iPhone 8 plus and though it could NEVER replace my Note 8 as my daily I do like many aspects of the iPhone 8 plus. I only have it to pair with my portable DAC-Amps and paired with Sennheiser HD650 the sound reproduction for a portable set up is hi-fi nirvana.
Not a fan of IOS, its a learning curve I guess. Phone is superbly made as is my Note 8 so now have the two! Very different mobiles both with their positives and negatives. The one big positive with the Note 8 is its completeness, it just does every thing a mini pocket PC can do and on times even better! Its the 'best' mobile I have ever owned.
BTW the Apple forum guys are gals are a very nice community who are very helpful and welcome newbies like me with open arms.
