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? The hypocrisy is amazing.

I did not initiaite the "Android" comparison, Ronin did and I simply expanded on it (I even mentioned Ronin and DanHibiki in my post, but I guess you missed the reference). Then again, maybe Ronin and DanHibiki are rabid fans since they seem to agree with me. I mean, nothing I say could ever have any truth to it since it's all based on fanboyism, right?

And yet everyone is running from my core question because nobody wants to answer it. That is, why are Android users who post online far more prolific in their posts than Apple fans are? This is directly related to the topic of who the bigger fanboys really are.

I find it funny that people who don't use Apple, don't really like Apple and have no plans to buy Apple have a higher post count in an Apple specific thread than a fanboy like me does. And yet a fanboy like me who seems intent on "spreading the gospel" doesn't go around telling people what to buy nor do I waste time posting garbage in Android threads.

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

I saw the reference...It just didn't make any sense to me...You might be right, I must be really missing something, because I've gone back at least 3x now, as far back as 10 pages and I don't see Ronin's post about his Android comparison. 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.

exactly this thread should be about the greatness that is the iPhone 5 and it's 10-years ahead, iOS6

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

As I mentioned before I think it's mainly the ios and not the iPhone 5 itself. 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.

That's very odd to hear since the iPhone 4 is 2 years old. My 5 is pretty damn snapping and loads apps super fast. I remember my iPhone 4 being slow at times.

Did u start off with a fresh start or restore from backup?

have done both, basically my main issues are websites hanging and having to be reloaded time and again, whether i'm on LTE or 3G

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.

Wow, $40 reservation fee?
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.

That reservation fee gets credited back to your account when you activate your phone, or abandon your reservation. 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.
