It takes a second or two to reflow the text on the Web Page, which might hamper the speed in which you navigate the Web Page. But it makes reading Web pages much easier. The safari browser doesn't, just zooms in one the "picture" of the Web pages. Quicker, but less easy to read.

Things I like about the iPhone:
Meh...it's a very nice phone, but when you compare it against the high end Android phones? Nah...I couldn't see myself ever getting one.
To each his own though. If you like it and it works better for your situation than an Android phone does, then go for it.
- Build Quality
- Phone Design
- Pretty much zero customization abilities
- No flash
- No widgets
- No removable battery
- Tethered to iTunes
- No file transfer via bluetooth
- User interface is dull & dated
- Removal of Google Maps in iOS6 & replaced with Apple Maps, which is horrible
- No SD-Card

WAIT!!!! Scratch "build quality" off of my "likes" list of the new iPhone.
Apparently, the finish on the iPhone 5 chips and flakes off easily. Nice. :biggrin:
They chip so easily, that some were already chipped when they took them out of the box, brand new.
Apple's Schiller: iPhone 5 Scratching, Chipping Is 'Normal' | News & Opinion | PCMag.com
Some guy wrote Apple asking what was going to be done about the scratching/chipping issue and Schiller himself replied and said, "Any aluminum product may scratch or chip with use, exposing its natural silver color. This is normal."
Uh, normal? Are you kidding me??
On brand new devices only a day or two old? And I like how he says, "...exposing it's natural silver color.", like seeing the silver is some kind of pleasant thing..."oh, there is it's natural silver color, isn't it nice? It's natural, so it's ok."
What a tool.
Why do people love that company? All they do is screw over their fans and talk to them like they are idiots when the point out a flaw, such as Antennagate: "You're holding it wrong." or now, Scratchgate: "Scratches are normal." Because Apple could NEVER do anything wrong...no, of course not.
And some bloggers are saying scratches are no big deal because folks put cases on their phones anyway. What?!?!? How is that even a valid response? First, why put a boring/plastic case over what is supposed to be the most elegant metal and glass phone on the market? Second, why even buy an iPhone if the major selling point is how it looks but you are going to put a case over it??
Makes zero sense.
Also, I got to play with a new iPhone 5 today as a friend brought one over.
Honestly and seriously, I wasn't impressed...at all.
It felt too light, and kind of cheap...but the cheapness may have been due to the plastic-like bumper he had on it...which totally killed the look and the whole vibe of the phone.
And it looked odd...like it was too tall for how wide it was. It looked skinny...and not in a good way...in an odd way.
And upon using iOS6, I was reminded again how great Android is. You really can't do anything in iOS except open an app. No widgets, no menus, just one button. Ugh. I felt trapped.
I got out my phone and I was like, "Ahhh...this is so much better." So many more options and things you can do.
And, of course, I asked her about Apple Maps. And she acted like wrong directions, missing towns, screwed up 3D maps, etc. were no big deal...she wasn't concerned. She said she was real happy to have turn-by-turn navigation and would trade off the quirks/bugs to have turn by turn. I'm like, "What good is turn by turn if it takes you to the wrong place, 8 miles away from your actual destination???"
I seriously, really, really, really don't get the iPhone fanboy/sheep. They just don't make any sense at all.

Wow now that's bad! Reminds me of the Xbox 360's red rings of death. Hmm.... Now this is gonna make me think twice if not three times. Kinda a bummer. I mean i do dig how the phone looks and i wanted to get an iphone, but aluminium is a soft metal but still arriving with the phone already scratched? I shouldn't have to buy a case, screw that. I'd be pissed off to fork over that kind of cash and to get my phone all dinged up. Maybe its a bad batch.
Yea i don't get the apple fanatics either. There was some guy waiting at one of the new york apple stores for a week just for the phone. I mean i wouldn't mind a midnight realease(since i go to those for a couple video games) but waiting for a whole week now that just a bit on the crazy side

Interesting thread.
I have had so many droids,
Og droid
Droidx
Rszr
Nexus
I live my nexus.....jelly Bean is so smooth and fast.
I want to try out iPhone 5 but not sure.
Maybe galaxy s3..? But it feels plastic.

I don't think I could ever go to an iPhone because one of my most favorite things to do with my Androids is setting up the home pages and designing some of my own widgets. It would drive me crazy not being able to do that.

Same here! Sometimes I want nothing on my home screen except the background and clock, other times I may have it full of awesome icons. I couldnt handle looking at the same screen day in and day out. Another thing is I can not stand the keyboard on an iphone.
On my Nexus7 I have a different photo slideshow on each screen, no icons on the homescreen because they are all in the dock, my ICE and radio toggle widgets on the lockscreen.
On my phone I have my icons custom made to theme with the wallpaper on 2 screens and a slideshow on the 3rd. Radio toggle and ICE on the lockscreen as well. Same with my Galaxy Tab
Yes the homescreen on my Ipad drove menuts, especially having to do several steps to turn radios on/off.
