You guys are in a different boat obv. - if it cost so much more than Android alternatives I wouldn't go anywhere near an iPhone. But it doesn't work out like that in the US.

EDIT:
And the lack of external cards is just a joke.
The A5 chip was only a Dual Core 1GHz, the A6 is slotted to be about twice as fast as the A5. Both the One X and the Galaxy run Quad Core 1.5 GHz procs, so yeah I dont expect the A6 to match it. However until we see full specs, we can only speculate really.
As for external cards, iphone pisses me off heavily in this department, not only for not providing one, but for being the twats who started the bandwagon rolling so other manufacturers now follow suit. At least the S3 is expandable.

Ah, I assumed it was still speculation. I didnt know they had released it was in fact an ARM7. Well that settles it. iPhone 5 is a waste of cash if you want hardware and speed and the ability to customise your phone in anyway you like, yet iOS5 and App Store(and the general following) will see it outsell everything else as usual.

In Germany an Apple Store is being invaded by hordes of iPhone5 buyers. Do you remember those old FPS games like Doom where you had to wipe out wave after wave of enemies? :giggle:
