In reply to Greg.

And your massive circle jerk over at phandroid is different… How?
C’mon even the name of the site states your blind fanboy tendencies.

I’ve looked at the 5 and I like it, but I couldn’t help but feel that it’s more of the same. That’s not to say it isn’t a beautiful device, but phones like the HTC One feel like a fresh breath. The iPhone, while still continuing to be really nice hardware, hasn’t felt like it has made any big improvements in design since the 4. As a 4S owner I haven’t felt that the differences have compelled me enough to get it. I’l likely go back to Android for my next phone unless if the next iPhone hardware and software gets a noticeable improvement or change that I like.

While I can’t speak from personal experience, the 5’s body sounds very malleable and susceptible to scratches and dings. Kind of detracts from the ascetics if it’s easy to mark it up.

In reply to Ronnie Ron Weez. Really? You should check out the build quality of the htc one, iPhone 5 has nothing on it. Oh not to mention the better screen on the one

In reply to IronHorse01. I'm sorry but I'm gonna call you out. When he goes to phandroid he does rant about is SOFTWARE. What he's talking about here is strictly HARDWARE two different subjects. I love android and hate iPhone software but the iPhone build quality and design is second to no one

I’m sorry but you’re a bit of a hypocrite, then you go over to the android site and clamor about how much you miss android and the opens system
And the widgets and all that. Had to call you out on that

I’m a four year Android guy and am waiting for the 5s this fall to make the switch. I hope they stick with this form factor with little change.

I’ve also recently switched from Android phones to the iPhone 5 and I appreciate this new device for almost everything (mostly speed, screen brightness and small form-factor) but I have to say I don’t like its ergonomics very much. The phone is indeed sexy but also feels quite awkward in the hand. It’s cold, the pronounced squared angles don’t feel good and I’m always afraid to drop it (even though it is quite sturdy). With a plastic case, it’s much better but then, the looks are gone.
I would have preferred a more rounded shape with different materials.

iphone 5 is even better with Evasion jailbreak on it. Beats anything out there with it on.
