Plastic, cheaper iPhone. I'd imagine it will hold up better with the wasted female crowd.

They copied the style from Android. Windows Phone should get more looks though. It's very fluid to use.

Agreed. It's a good platform, I use it for work and prefer it to Android and iOS for business purposes.dlazz;1498599 wrote:They copied the style from Android. Windows Phone should get more looks though. It's very fluid to use.

I think it's a mix of both. The flat design is definitely a signature of Microsoft's recent UIs but it isn't unique to them so Apple could have based their design off something else.dlazz;1498599 wrote:They copied the style from Android.

And yeah, I have a Lumia 920 and I really like it. Some frustrations but overall pretty happy.

That's just the 5C. You know, the phone for poor people. The fancy people, like me, will be getting the 5S.Pick6;1498588 wrote: Also, whats with the fruity ass colors?

Which I think they fucked up big time. $549 off contract (how most of the world buys phones) is not a budget phone by any stretch of the imagination. Can't imagine this selling all too many in India or China.TedSheckler;1498604 wrote:That's just the 5C. You know, the phone for poor people. The fancy people, like me, will be getting the 5S.

It officially rolls out 9/18. But I think you'll probably see it sooner than that. My guess would be Friday since that's when pre-orders on the new iPhone start.

If you don't want the newest, you're kinda SOL. The 5 is going away when the 5s launches. So you can get either of the new ones, or an 8GB 4s.Ironman92;1498693 wrote:So I have been due an upgrade for a while (I have an IPhone 3 lol).....should I get a 5? Is there a 5s?

Motorola got close with the first one on the Moto X, but I still have to setup a NFC tag and tap my phone to achieve the latter.
My phone is always on Bluetooth.

it's not really a memory, that's just how NiCad's work. Lithium ion works full tilt until battery drain so cell loss isn't an issue. I can't remember the last time I saw a Nicad in a cellphone though.. they're all lithium ion and have been for years.sherm03;1498543 wrote:Not anymore. It's a misconception that phone batteries have a "memory" and that if you charge it when the phone is at, say, 50% that the phone will only charge up to 50% capacity after time.
With the new technologies, you can charge your phone multiple times a day...at any discharge level...and it shouldn't affect the life of your battery.

She has the 3gs right now. She told me she wants whatever is free (4s), so this is actually better than what she is requesting.like_that;1498877 wrote:Getting her the vanilla iPhone while you hold out for the iPhone 6. Good husband.
