    Why not? Some days with my job I can't get to a charger and all phones go dead. I kick the switch over and boom more battery.

    IMO, I like the iPhone 5. I have no need for a NFC, the built in memory is plenty for me, no need to add external card, and the battery life is good enough for me to get 2 days of use on one charge. And I hate plastic phones, love the glass/metal iPhone 5.

    The main reason I like the iPhone 5 is because its not too big. I think the iPhone 4/4S was a perfect size for me. The large 4.5 + inch screens are too big IMO and uncomfortable in my pocket.

    Look out for snakes in the grass guerrilla marketing.
    Don't know if it's been mentioned yet but there is no easy way to set an http proxy using a droid while on a wifi network without rooting it. This kinda sucks.

    Yea you can blame Google for that one, I think its a conspiracy with the Telecom providers or something. But I think you can use a http proxy in Opera, but it only works for Opera browser.

    Check this comment 1537 out for a work around.

    The comments all the fanboys make (from Android users and iPhone users) are so hilarious. :rofl:


    "The phones weren't dropped the same, this test is inaccurate."
    "But the Android doesn't have as much protection."
    "iPhone sucks S3 IS TEH BESTEST"
    "NO S3 SUCKS iPHONE FTMFW"


    I love society...
