    Apple just revealed its new flagship. How many of you are impressed and how many disappointed?

    It's nothing earth-shattering, but it's still a very nice phone. Personally, I'd like it to have a little more screen real-estate but it's not a deal-breaker.

    Really... what else can you cram into a smart phone at this point?

    An upgrade from the 4S. Not sure I will upgrade, as I actually don't want the larger screen as it becomes less pocket portable. We will see. Enhancements to the camera are very nice though.

    Personally I am not impressed. All the technical specifications were pretty much expected considering the competition's hardware specs. I know LOTS of people were disappointed they did not overhaul the cosmetics of the phone with the exception of the two-tone backing.

    I won't be getting one. I'd rather have the S3 any day.

    "late to the party" they weren't even invited again? They are now like someone's ugly cousin who spends Friday night alone crying into a pillow.

    Until Samsung or someone buys them the downward spiral will continue.

    BB10 was supposed to be relased this year originally... had they done so prior to the iPhone5 they would have had better results IMO

    All review of bb10 are fantastic. I'd take one over an itoy every day. If someone buys rim, it would be a sad day for one of canada's best companies in history.

    Agreed with Reza! S3 is very impressive. I just got one and there are features I didn't even know about before purchasing that are awesome!

    You should check Note 2 as well. It has 2 GB ram and a bigger screen

    Android is cool and powerful for the 'power user' who enjoys flashing their phone's firmware to get new features and apps and such, whereas the iPhone's hardware was built with iOS in mind. You don't have to worry about GB's and GHZ and all that marketing bull, it just works. I have so many friends who have Droid devices, and they're always flashing their phones to Jellybean/Icecream sandwich/Vanilla Enima/Whatever is next... I just wouldn't be able to have the time to worry about all that stuff.

    At the end of the day, both Android and iOS are simply phones... you buy what makes you happy. I like my phones like I like my steak at the restaurant... I don't want to have to cook my 50$ steak on a stonegrill, I paid 50$ for them to cook it for me. Same with my phone, I unboxed my iPhone 5 and I haven't looked back; It's been a phenominal user experience!

    it bb10 really late to the party? maybe postponing is actually a good idea. think about it this way, who else will be releasing a completely new phone around that time? with the exception of HTC but all of there phones are the same.
