Well, if your even concidering the 5, it must be quick enough to justify the cost.

Or is he a desk spanking fan boy..?

Since the iOS 5 update, the 3GS is starting to show its age, both lack of RAM and CPU performance. Probably quite slow NAND as well.

So toying with a 4 or later. 4 (8Gb) is cheap enough to buy. 4S is virtually same price as 5, so you'd buy the latter for better future proofing, although that extra 8-10mm would annoy me. Plus Mrs TB still needs to get me a birthday pressie .


But, I'll probably keep the 3GS, and see if anyone can make a usable mail client for a Galaxy Mini, or how WinPhone 8 pans out.

I know I keep banging on about mail, but its probably the most important part of my phone. I could (almost) happily get rid of the web browser functionality if the mail client was good. The crApple one is very good (for me).

Annoyingly most of the apps (that i use anyway) haven't been updated for the 4" iPhone 5 screen 

(such as eBay,LoveFilm,Natwest,TVGuid,SpeedTest,Photogene,Photobucket, etc)

[feeutfo]

So you get black or unused areas at the side in land scape?

J that coal fired 3GS has to go. It's as old as Stvensons rocket.

landscape and portrait    very annoying as the keyboard is slightly higher so one tends to miss the space bar etc.... naturally expecting it to be where it normally is 

[OmegaAnglesey]

Getting board with iOS tbh. But Ipad mini anyone? Looks a more sensible size.

...and I wonder if there will an iPhone mini too.

Same here    Also getting rather annoyed with iOS6 WiFi issues when the phone is locked it switches to 3G then after unlocking the phone takes a few seconds to get back onto WiFi which buggers the iCloud back up at night due to this and also notifications can become late 

(this is a software issue as my 4S and 5 are affected but when i was on iOS5 no such problem as this before)

This WiFi problem is also getting on my tits not that i have any tits

But for a little extra speed, its a lot of money.  Plus, I really don't want another overpriced crApple product, so more than likely will wait and see what pans out.

Lets face it, the gayPhone 5 offers very little extra than my strong, robust, reliable 3GS...

But it does what I require it to do. And does it well.

My complaint is it could be a bit quicker. Not sure it warrants £600 to make it a bit quicker.

it's ALOT quicker! You know it, I know it, everyone knows it.

Although... I wonder how quick it is when full. And with google maps open... Oh, no we don't have that issue do we.

Its slow loading apps, or switch apps. Running apps, its fine, mostly. But if typing and something happens, eg a text or email, I can get a fair few letters ahead before it catches up

As said, its probably not annoying enough to warrant spending £600 on it.


And, by not being all excitable over a new iOS version, I still have Google Maps

(such as eBay,LoveFilm,Natwest,TVGuid,SpeedTest,Photogene,Photobucket, etc)

For things like LoveFilm they will need to re-encode all films in new aspect ratio, live streams will need new resolution playlists.

So it's not an app update, it's behind scenes it needs to update
