Should be returned immediately. Agree. Edit: I think that this is another of those big issue for the vocal minority things. Last edited by ScotiaBurrell; 09-25-2012 at 11:57 AM. |

Back to the ipone 5 I don't have an iphone, I just want one. I have an android phone now, but It is not for me, I don't like it at all. I read this thread (or try to) to find out if I should try to get my hands on an iphone 5, or if an iphone 4S is better for me right now. Clara |

And, although I am an iPhone fan, and naturally think everyone should have one, I think you should also look at the Nokia N9, and windows phones as well. They are all good as phones. The OS is what counts... what will work for you, and what you feel attracted to. But the only way to find out is to have one in your hand, switched on, and working. I think with the Nokia and Windows phones, you'll probably have to have a friend with one, to have a good play. With iPhone you can do that in a store. |

It does seem rather pathetic to use terms like "hater" just because people are critical of the newest gadget produced by some multinational. To use such language indicates that some people do not look at this on a very rational level. BTW, I am grateful to Apple for a very enjoyable Sunday morning, though. Looking at Apple maps on my wife's iPad was quite entertaining: seaside resorts moved inland, world heritage sites moved to other cities etc. It's amazing. There also has to be some awesome new app that manages to make recent satellite images look like WWII material. |

Phones have been used for reading ebooks (along with PDA's) long before there were such things as eInk readers or tablets.

I don´t hate all things Android, some things about the phone are really nice, but I am more of an Apple person I guess. I just don´t understand why some people feel that the choices they make should be for everyone. I may check out Nokia N9 or a windows phone. Clara |

We have that in the UK right now - Admittedly more because of flooding than poor mapping.

The streets in my subdivision have always had the wrong names from Google / mapquest, the street I supposedly live on is actually a dirt track running through a guys property. Apple's IOS 6 maps have all of the street names correct. |

More problematic are attempts to follow GPS routes through narrow bending streets while in a large truck and becoming wedged between buildings. The map makers and GPS companies need to differentiate more between car routes and truck routes. The same problem occurs with the vertical clearance of bridges. |
