so i went back to the store to return the otterbox i bought for my iphone 5, and asked to try another case, that maybe the one i bought was a freak defect. every otterbox commuter they had did not fit the iphone 5, however the defender fit, although i didnt want that one cuz it was too big.

weird thing i noticed.. on the outside of the defender box it says "for iphone 5". for the commuter it says "for new iphone".

Unless you want to pay USD$515 for a 4" Samsung phone. Not too much of a difference compare with the $300 Galaxy Adavance S, in terms of spec wise imo

iphone 4 and 5 size are great for most people. To be honest I have short fingers, anything above 4 is useless with one hand. That's why Note 2 is not a phone for most people. I text, I game, I remote control, I watch video with my phone more than I talk on the phone, so yeah...iphone is a phone for people use it as a phone not really a PDA or entertainment device.

Newest does not mean best. Look at Vista when it came out..

That doesn't seem right, cause iPod use will count?

do you guys find that something is loose near the top of the iphone5?
if you have it flipped face down and tap lightly near the top of the phone, do you guys hear something loose inside? or is it just my iphone

smoothie. 10-11-2012 11:53 AM

apparently all the 5's have it.

i thought it was the camera, since all my previous iphones did it too.

theyre saying its loose power button or something.

I really dont see my phone getting more than 4-5 hours of my usage: gaming with music on, rs chat, or maps

Just surfing the web, checking emails, and some light gaming. The last couple days when I reached 1%, I got between 7.5-9.5 hours of usage and 24-28 hours standby. I take a screen shot everytime for my record :D

Lol iOS 6 maps. Finally someone stepped up to the plate

i still use Apple Maps... its not horrible. only 1/5 times it gives me a wrong route. If that happens i just look at the map and find my own directions.

dangonay 10-11-2012 07:34 PM

Still pissed there's no stock on the Lightning to 30 pin adapters. I don't mind paying $30 considering the hassle it'll save me - I just want to be able to buy one.

For now I use a Bluetooth to 1/8" AUX adapter and stream BT audio to my stereo in my car. For handsfree I'm also connected to my factory stereo through BT and when I get a call the phone switches between the two BT connections. While it works, I really miss being able to browse playlists with my steering wheel instead of having to actually use the phone to select music.

Hondaracer 10-11-2012 08:23 PM

i'll give it to apple with the lightning connection, thats how it should have been all along but now all my peripherals are useless and adapter is a headache cause realistically i need two one for home and one for vehicle

MarkyMark 10-11-2012 09:11 PM

The pricing on the adapter is still ridiculous, how anyone that buys one and doesn't feel like they are being absolutely ripped off is beyond me.

If I have a locked iPhone on Rogers what are my options if I wanted to use a phone in the US? I'll be there for a week and would really like to be able to use my phone.

MTV Cribs 10-11-2012 11:16 PM

You can roam and pay Rogers roaming charges. If you don't want to do that, you can bring a unlock phone you have in your drawer and get a prepay SIM card in the states. If you really want to use the iPhone than just roam or buy an unlocked one online.

I just unlocked my old 3GS through fido. They just do it over the air, and when you connect the phone to itunes, it detects that the IMEI's been unlocked for any carrier. $50, call in and ask for unlock.

If you still owe money on the device though, you have to pay it out first.

I use my 3GS with T-Mobiles $3 unl talk text data (200mb 4g, then edge), and its pretty dope. All my VOIP apps work, Google Maps, and I still get some imessages on it lol.
