in contrast, the nexus 4 for example, i don't recall seeing google/droidfans coming out and proclaiming that this is the end all, be all, holy grail of phone which makes all other brands worthless except for the aspect of price, which is impressive. i have however seen even droid fans put the nexus4 down, but to be fair i haven't really been following the android/nexus4 until very recently | Seriously? It's Apple that says their products are the greatest when they do their product announcements. Please find me some examples of regular Apple users on RS who post comments calling their devices "magical" and "amazing". Again you're taking something done by one group (Apple themselves) and applying what they say to the average Apple user.
Nobody claimed the Nexus 4 was the best? Really? And I've never heard anyone online ever post "this is the next iPhone/iPad killer" whenever a new model smartphone or tablet comes out. What I have heard is countless people say the 4S was a failure because it didn't have LTE/4G and iOS devices in general were because of their lack of an SD card slot, but now that the Nexus 4 lacks both suddenly it's not a dealbreaker anymore?

Maybe you need to modify you definition of what a fanboy really is.

In fact, I don't see him ANYWHERE IN THIS THREAD!?...Either you're delusional or I lack some serious reading comprehension skills...Please direct me to his post, because I'm missing it and am confused.

Like I said before, take a deep breath and let it go. I find it mind boggling that people actually argue about this shit, like they're self conscious of what type of PHONE one chooses.
Go argue about some other more important issues, FFS. If I were admin, I'd just ban any fanboyism. It's friggin offtopic.

Why the fuck are you in every post that is about Apple? What's your MO dude? Serious question, do you work for Apple? Quote:

Ios6 was a huge disappointment. It didn't change how we use the phone at all. I believe this was the first major update to do that. Posted via RS Mobile

Did u start off with a fresh start or restore from backup? Posted via RS Mobile |

and still, some apps refuse to load data for me through wifi such as twitter and instagram, ive tried both my home network and BCIT's

I want to upgrade my old crappy 3GS to an iPhone 5 but Rogers wants me to pay a 40 dollar reservation fee and wait about 3 weeks before it ships. Are the phones available in stores yet or is there still some type of waiting list? If not I guess I'll just sign up for a waiting list. Maybe I'll switch to Telus if they have better plans and less lame fees.

just get the phone from an apple store directly, last time i asked they had plenty in stock, they can process the upgrade for you.

If they don't get shipped to you in two weeks, you get a $50 credit.
I ended up accumulating $100 worth of credit, only to find out that I reserved mine at a location that didn't deal with business accounts 
I'd love to argue with Rogers for a while, but never have the time during their business hours.

for those who want to try or heard about Nokia maps
Its now available for iOS6 https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/here-maps/id577430143
dubbed "HERE" Maps instead of Nokia Maps
i dont think it offers offline turn by turn navigation though on iOS, i could be wrong
