That pic I posted earlier is the Note 2 that is coming out this year.
Honestly I spend about 10 minutes a month talking on my cell.
I spend more time texting than anything, I even text with my mom.
I would be in heaven if the Ipad mini had cell capabilities.

The unibody design and flush glass make it unlikely that it will crack like the previous models. Maybe not impossible, but apparantly much harder.

The bumper won't be fixing "death grip issues" with the antennae problem from the first models of 4 with the new 2 antennae design.

The aluminum body and "gorilla glass" on the 5s supposedly make it very durable.

Gorilla glass is made by Corning and is already found on some droid phones, which will undoubtedly invite plenty of "ho-hum" comments from the droid camp.

Please, please, please use a case. If you can deal with the Otterbox Defender series size, its probably the best of its kind.

Gorilla Glass prevents scratches and hazing, and offers some protection in a small drop. But when dropped from a decent distance, Gorilla Glass will shatter, and when it does, it shatters into a thousand pieces. Its just like a tempered automotive windshield. And if you try to use it after its been shattered, the glass will continue to crack as it gets warm and glass will find its way into your ear!

A couple of Android sets have had Gorilla Glass for some time... Thats how I know firsthand :-)

Lifeproof case FTW! Best case ever for sure, if you don't mind the cost.

On a side note, iOS6 comes out tomorrow for the 3gs,4,4s :-)

I love the idea of panoramic view in photos....usually you have to download an app for that and usually they are not that great.

I can't wait to see how the turn by turn compares to the Waze app i use already.

That's one of the things I like about my 4s. I had an HTC Evo and while not a phablet it was still bigish.

I was happy with the 3.5'' screen because I like having my phone comfortably in my pocket. Some people like bigger screens, or don't put their phones in the pants pocket. Another reasons why subjective things like screen size cannot realistically be used to show why one phone is overall better than another. I've heard the argument 100 times, just doesn't make any sense.

I agree. I always carry my phone in pocket and the iphone is just right for me. no way i could pocket one of those note phones.
[Reply]

Yup, I personally desire a larger screen, that is my personal issue with iPhone. But I know many like the smaller screen. I don't wear skinny jeans so no issues for me.

I ordered a 5 for Lisa yesterday. I had an upgrade due, but I'm perfectly happy with my 4. So I used it to get her a 5. Her upgrade doesn't come around until October, I think.
