They especially don't want to make it too big as they want you to buy both the iPhone and iPad / iPad Mini.

TBH I don't even know if they would feat in all my pants :laugh: .

I found my S3 disconcertingly big for about the first day, but it's amazing how quickly you get used to it.

Agree with Dave that you quickly get used to it, however, as I may have mentioned previously, I downsized from the 5" Streak and couldn't be happier with my iPhone. I have no need to upgrade apart from the memory :p :

You should be able to get a good deal on a 64gb iPhone 4S once the iPhone 5 is out.

200£ for a used phone when you can get a new one almost for free when you subscribe or re-sign for a 2 years contract?! People are really crazy!

Agreed, I was especially stunned when Henners mentioned "desperate" to buy used phone for 200 pounds. I'm out of words ....

So, those with Android phones running ICS, how is it going? My sensation needed a factory reset followed by regular (every three/four days) physical removal of the battery to keep it going at anything resembling bearable speed.

Very well, thank you. In fact, I've just upgraded to 60 Meg broadband at home because my 10 meg connection was slowing the browser down! I've been using my S3 for about a fortnight now and had only one lockup, and that was on an app which also used to crash my HTC so I guess it's poorly coded.

The only time I thought it was running a little bit slowly it turned out I'd accidentally activated the power-saving mode which cuts the processor speed and manages the screen brightness a bit stingily.

No noticed loss of speed with my Droid Razr. I did have to do a soft reset the other day, which is the first time the phone has locked up since I got it. Only time will tell... I hope I don't regret the update to the new OS.

Not a phone, but I've owned my Samsung Tablet for several months now with no problems at all.
