and again I will point out that Windows Phone has done both of these things since launch ;)

I know, but I'm just trying to make the point that Windows Phone had Facebook integration into the OS almost 2 years ago :) I've thankfully not needed to test any companies customer service for a good couple of years, but back in the day Nokia were pretty good :)

first of all i would liked to tell you that apple has doing great job...i phone 5 is very powerfull AT&T mobile,the image processing is very heavy.........ipad also have .

Really? :andrea:

My HTC Desire is 3 years old and it had FB already back then when i bought it.

Also HTC just releases an upgraded version of the One X, called One X+ which have a faster CPU,
larger battery and doubled sized storage space which is now 64GB.

I Still don't like that HTC have gone down the Iphone road with non exchangeable battery and non extendible storage (although 64b should be enough).

In this industry they take influence off each other, and with some many silly patent battles going on, this is obvious I would have thought.

Its not about that Henners, but mere about how apple and its followers (ajfåns) constantly talking about as it was something new in the world of smartphones.
This is just anothe case of Apple generally claiming that they invented / were first with features and functions.

Pretty much like how the Chinese communist party constantly claims that every invention was invented in china.

Must we get into this all the time - Oh I just did XZY on my CoolDevice.

Hey - OldDevice was doing that in 1952, so you can stick your CoolDevice up your....

No, he was responding to a specific question from me regarding whether it was easy to import contacts for someone who previously used an Android phone.

If this illustrates anything, its the way in which you interprete just about anything involving Apple in a negative light. I have no idea when Apple started 'integrating' (whatever that means) facebook but its irrelevant to the question I asked Henners and his response.

All round so far I am able to report back in a positive light Malbec and would highly recommend a switch, but have to say the Galaxy S3 is also a stunning phone as an alternative. I'm enjoying it and feel I made the right choice :)

Thanks, I appreciate hearing about your experiences.

Right now top of my list is the new HTC One X plus which seems to cover the shortfalls of its predecessor that I was worried about. The only concern is that the only way I get my current sensation to improve its performance is by physically removing and reinstalling the battery every few days, this wouldn't be possible with the new HTC as the battery is fixed but then again I shouldn't encounter the same performance issues (fingers crossed).

The Xperia T is next on the list with the iPhone 5 a distant third at the moment. I go through phases when the iPhone sounds like exactly what I want then at other times I don't fancy it at all....
