    It's just as bad as those who flock to buy the latest Android phone. Those of us who want to see Android significantly improved from it's current state never get a look in because too many people are happy to settle for it as it is now. I guess you're in the same camp, but the reverse.

    As to the iPhone 5, it's never missed a beat yet after 2 months of ownership. I love how compact and easy to handle it is in comparison to the high end phones from other camps, but it could really use the glass back of the 4 and 4S to give it a more premium feel in the hand.

    Four months later. Troll much?

    I'm glad you find it more premium feeling. Maybe that's where the extra hundreds of pounds go.

    Nexus 4 is undisputed leader anyway. Premium device for bargain price.

    The Nexus 4 is undoubtedly a great device in comparison to other Android devices, but it's still an Android device at the end of the day, with all that that entails.

    The extra few £100 go on making a better device that's nicer to use I guess.

    I'm sorry you don't like to see or hear about people who prefer the iPhone over whatever device you chose to evangelise. I hope one day you grow up and learn to accept and value that people are different.

    Don't particularly evangelise android. I look for value for money. That's not a category apple falls into.

    As for people who prefer apple. I don't care. Although you do have to wonder what makes the people who flock to apple search for four month old threads to justify a product.

    I look for value for money too, which doesn't necessarily mean buying the cheapest product (a crap product is still a crap product no matter how cheap it is).

    I actually came back to the forum to see if there was any decent conversation going on in the vague hope that the trolls had left and gone elsewhere. Seems my hopes were dashed in the very first post I made in months. You've reminded me precisely why I stopped posting in the first instance; you're immediately labelled a troll if you dare to think outside of the constraints.

    Seems to me you're doing exactly what you accuse others of. They express an opinion, you disagree, they don't accept your argument, you flounce off.

    Calling someone a troll isn't disagreeing, it's being rude and obnoxious. We need to bring the ban hammer down immediately on these sorts of people because they just ruin the community with their insesant name calling.

    Ban hammer eh? Feel free to report the thread. That is what button is for afterall. You resurrected a four month old thread accusing me of being an android fanboy. That is trolling. I call it like it is. If you don't like it then too bad.

    Re: So...the new Iphone 5...

    I challeng you to point out where I called you an android fanboy. I can very very easily point to where you called me a fanboy (which was completely unwarranted and outright rude). Why can't you just be civil and respectful in the first place instead of me having to report to get you told off? Is that really too much to ask?

    As above. I am done with this thread. I encourage you to report it if you feel so aggrieved.

    Your English comprehension skills require a little work. I accused you of calling me an android fanboy. I then proceeded to tell you that you were trolling as you resurrected a four month old thread to call me an android fanboy. Can't make it anymore straightforward I'm afraid.

    Re: So...the new Iphone 5...

    I think you're digging yourself a bigger hole. First you've called me a troll, now you're amusingly attempting to mock my reading comprehension skills, all the classic call signs of someone desperately trying to get out of a sticky situation they've found themselves in. I suggest you leave the thead now if you've nothing valuable to add.
