Personally, I'll be buying a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 early October. With 1.6GHz quad core processor, 5.5" super AMOLED screen, 64GB internal, up to 64GB microSD, 1280x720 HD, and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

Note 1 will probably outperform an iphone 5.

As a iPhone use who had it since day one, I'm not excited for the new one. I'm starting to look at some of the other samsung phones, they are impressive.

My first iphone was a 3gs that I got right when it came on. I have been waiting for the 5 to come out but I am not to happy with it. At this point, I would rather but the 4s for $100 or convert to samsung.

This is all I hope for. That iPhone users will look at what's actually being offered to them and carefully consider if it's what they want. You don't have to be an expert to know that you want a bigger/smaller screen, or better battery life, or a heavier/lighter phone.

The sad thing is when people just blindly upgrade like sheep because it's a new iphone without giving a thought to whether it even offers them anything useful over the one they've got. No matter what your preferences are these days on screen size, battery life, colours, weight, materials (plastic or metallic), the look of the thing. Whatever it is you like, there's a phone for you. Specify what you want, and you yourself (or some sales assistant in a store) can direct you to your perfect phone.

What are the chances that whatever Apple decided on all those criteria is exactly what you want.

If it coincides with what you want, by all means, get the iPhone 5, but for fuck's sake, have an opinion (is what I say to other people, not you guys).

Baaaaaa !!! As I was saying. To even say the Samsung is pretty sweet, then admit you're not impressed with the iphone5, and then order it anyway. There's no hope for some.

As I said im a iphone user. I like their products. Apple made the smart phone what they are today. Other companies following what they do is I think a bit pathetic.
Saying I wasnt impressed did not mean I didnt like it. Obviously I was impressed enough to buy it. I dont know why your being rude about it, saying "their's no hope for some" We all have our own opinion. No need to judge me on mine.
