Weighs as much as an iPhone 4 with a case :) Not a deal breaker. The iPhone 5 feels way too plastic to me. As I always point out to my friends iOS and Android

Weighs as much as an iPhone 4 with a case :) Not a deal breaker. The iPhone 5 feels way too plastic to me.
As I always point out to my friends iOS and Android needed ~3 years to become competitive. It's getting there. The App argument is also kind of flaky... Other than Mint app, everything I use is there.
- FredFredrickson 14y agoThe app argument used to be more of a "thing", but they've made great strides over the years to get competitive there, and as a WP7 user, it's just about at the point where I can feel comfortable recommending it to people without feeling any regrets. The OS itself has always been pretty great though, in my opinion - they took a lot of lessons from what Apple and Google did and used those to build a platform that does a lot of stuff right out of the box. I think your comment about the iPhone 4 + case is funny. I see people carrying around these ridiculous brightly colored foamy brick-ish things that are iPhones in cases, and I wonder why they would put up with that. It doesn't matter how beautiful and lightweight the device inside the case is if it can never come out!
- CamperBob2 14y agoThe iPhone 5 feels way too plastic to me. ?! Are you sure you didn't buy it from some guy in a trench coat behind a dim-sum dive in Shenzhen? My iPhone 5 is the most solid, monolithic piece of consumer electronics I've ever seen.
- rayiner 14y agoThe 920 may be brick like, but physics being what it is, it'll land harder on the ground than an iPhone 5. I don't use the 920 with a case but never used the 4 with a case either. Most people at my office don't have cases on their work-issue 5's from what I've seen.
