No irony, I turn on my Xbox it works, it breaks, I'm sent a new one. It's still great years after I bought it. It has great online features. It could be an Apple product, Bill must be proud.

me personally....I love my iphone....i am still on 4.3.2...but....when people go and update to a newer firmware and it screws up already perfectly working features, something is wrong. hense me not updating to IOS 5. heard too many bad things about it. i wont be updating until there is a much more stable version of it.

the whole my iphones better than your andriod is getting stupid. It all down to personal preference.. i like the HTCs Samsungs etc.. I just dont like the Android OS... simple.. bit like me loving my old nokia menu system but hated the Sony menus...or the fact that i prefer Windows OS to OSX animal print (or what ever it currently is)

This thread seems to have gone off on a tangent, when the OP just mentioned about a flaw with IOS 5 that affected the way his already working iphone and how he sorted it out lol...

Let's face it, IOS 5 has been racked with flaws and bugs since it's release. Where's Apple's much famed "it just works" and quality control? Apple had to release a patch for nearly a hundred security flaws in IOS 5 within a week after its release!

Jon, you can't just make this stuff up you know. There is no update for iOS5, I'm sure there will be, but right now there's not.

If only you could just take off the iBlinkers, you'd see for yourself. Denial is not a river in Egypt, nor is it an app from the App Store.

How to upset dual brand lovers with one post

To clarify the point, because I doint have a f*cking clue what you're ranting about, Apple dont have anywhere near the same product failure rate as Microsoft do so I didnt think it was a great comparison by Jack.

IOS5 is the update patch for IOS4 which had all the security holes in it. But rather than call it a patch, Apple decided to call it an OS release and made a huge song and dance out of it

Okay okay, I admit I was wrong what I really meant was "Apple had to release a patch for nearly a hundred security flaws with IOS 5 update."

So now you either have a choice of an unsecure IOS 4 or a buggy IOS 5.

They still are Tony. Samsung may well throw more phones out of the door, but I still don't see many being used. Nothing like the ubiquitous iPhone.

what bad news? the fact that its easy to change to various versions of android even modified versions etc etc. ICS has already been leaked and there will be a rom available shortly (to be honest though plenty of apps to get the phone looking how you want anyway - got to love open source )

I don't have any bad news, it's Jon that seems to delight in passing on the bad news. You have fun with your hacking hobby.

Just proves that the theory about Android phones being for geeks and iPhones being for sexual Stallions being correct.

All in unscientific jest of course.
