re: nice
Thanks! Went out tonight and got quite a bit of attention with the gold 5S, everyone wanted to see it and I got some crazy offers for it. I think the grey is cooler but I'm looking for a case tomorrow so it'll be covered up. Did you get a 32 or 64?

I just received mine ...
... changed my old iPhone 4 (no S) under warranty for a new iPhone 4, still no S :-) . I'm an Apple fan when it comes to their computers but every time i see a Samsung or other with those big screens .... Bim
re: mine
Did you update to iOS 7? They released another update ( iOS 7.02) the other day. On my iPad3 it's still laggy but slightly better. iTunes is not as wacky as before. What's wierd is some people are reporting visual disturbances with the new ui. -MW
Didn't update ...
... ands i was still at iOS 5 untill i got the replacement .. which features 6 ... :-( .... . I'm getting tired of Apple being so sh...y on their upgrades, just like the upgrades on the macs where you loose all the cool stuff .... :-( Bim
You have great friends....
apparently people have set the finger recognition to their toes, pet cats paw and also the owners nipples..!! Male and female..!! Yours, Andy.
hehehe..
I just use my finger, no other body part! LOL! Wouldn't it be awkward to scan your nipple in public? =O -MW
I bet you've tried it..!! ;o)
I can tell your a curious guy..!! LOL Funnily enough a lot of my female friends keep their phones in their bra (don't ask me..!) on nights out so they would have to ensure it is the correct way around ;) Andy.
This clip...
This classic line from Blazing Saddles comes to mind: 'Excuse Me While I whip This Out!!!' LOL!!! :) -MW
Ha ha...great film :-)
I'm after a new phone next month and I am thinking of the S4 or S4 Mini.... which would you suggest..?? Yours, Andy.
S 4 is the way to go ...
I'm using one for two or more months and I'm very happy with it. The camera is outstanding. I just need to learn if it's possible to shoot in RAW. Cheers, Nilo
Interesting...
I've always avoided phones this big... but they are all doing it so I might jump into the big phones and try it out. Cheers my friend, Andy.
S4 vs S4 Mini...
The S4 Mini is not just a 4.3" version of the 5" S4. The Mini has a lower resolution qHD screen with a slower processor and less RAM. The camera on the S4 is 13mp vs the 8mp on the Mini. Some of the cool TouchWiz features are not found on the Mini. I pers...
It's one of my favorites too...
I still laugh when I watch the movie, so many great lines in Blazing Saddles! -MW
IMO, they nailed the color...
My thoughts exactly as yours. I was expecting a over the top pimped out tacky looking super shiny gold plate but to my eyes it's more of a elegant shade of Champagne color. The bevel polish to break up the brushed side and back was a good idea. For those ...
Honest Opinion from iPhone Lover
I enjoy Apple products. I have loved all of my iPhones. Currently, I am on an iPhone 4S. I saw the 5S the day it hit the stores, but didn't buy one. It's a great phone, and I would certainly buy one if my current phone died or disappeared, but I didn't se...
IMO my Galaxy S4 is way better than the 5S....
I totally agree with you that if you do a lot of movies, tv, youtube, or even browsing the web the larger screen makes a huge difference. I haven't had any issues carrying the S4 but I also prefer a removable battery, microSD slot, and the multi windows f...
Always slow to upgrade...
I never upgrade until the general public has had a couple months with a major revision to an OS or application. I've got a stable iOS now, so I'm in no rush. I'm rather locked into Apple products, though not absolutely. I use a Mac and have a huge library...
re: upgrade
The iPhone is a metal build vs the plastic on the S4. The HTC ONE has a nice solid feeling design. -MW
I did and have not had problems
My 4S is happy and feels like a new phone. Battery seems to drain a little faster but I can't quantify it. Cazalea ...
good to hear!
Looks like you updated your iPad as well, cool that it's working out for you on the 4S. If you haven't already done so they just released the iOS 7.02 update. HAGWE cazalea! -MW
Very Encouraging!
Thank you for sharing your positive experience. Perhaps I won't wait so long to upgrade. I have both an iPhone 4S and an iPad Mini. Regards, Jon
Whats the battery life like on the S4...?
I trust it is better than the i-phone..?? Yours, Andy.
IMO...
Battery life on the S4 is great and the bonus is that it's removable! Factory is 2600 mAh but aftermarket higher capacity ones are available. I just got the iPhone 5S so I'll report back in a week or so on usage. -MW
I feel Apple really needs to release a much larger sized screen
4" is just too damn small now. It looks funny when people are using their large fingers trying to type out an email on such a small screen. I hope Apple releases a phone the same size as the Samsung S4 next year. If they do, they will definitely grab shar...
Agree, I like my Galaxy S4 much more...
I really like the Galaxy Note 3, will have to play with one when it comes out and see if its way too big or not. From my limited knowledge of iOS you can't roll back from 7 to iOS6. On Android I can do a full backup and restore. I hope they update and fix...
I'll definitely be upgrading to the Galaxy Note 3 when it comes out in a couple weeks
and can't wait to use this large phablet. I'm going to love its 5.7" screen! - AT
re: upgrading
Samsung had a cool booth at CES when I went. I'm going there in 2014 so I'll report on all the new mobile stuff on this forum. -MW

Plan on getting the 32gb.......for now. Or i could just sit and wait for the next iphone...I hate to Q.
Wow you got one!
You have a nice friend! I read on the news how people are asking ridiculous prices for the gold iPhone 5S because of how rare they are. Enjoy your new toy. Regards, ED-209
Only prob is--when you add a case
which--I have learned--is essential. Sort of cool looking though!
re: problem
The shade of gold is a Champagne color and it actually came out nice. My brother got a Grey one and IMO I like it better. They make clear hard cases that snap on as well as the usually thin clear skins if you want to keep the naked look. Bad thing is it's...
you rebel..
I knew this would not last... make some $$ on the gold... now any texts to you will go against my allotment! iMessenger is a good benefit..
iMessage is a mess hope they fix it.
I gave it a try but not really happy with the iPhones. The main thing is the screen size on the 5S its just too small. As this is gift from a very good and long time friend I won't sell it probably pass it back to him or give it to a family member. I'm lo...
the conversion between android system and apple..
is not as smooth..so... yeah..I am a fanboy..I am hooked line and sinkered..
re: system
The customization/flexibility on Android is what I like. Maybe when the jailbreak comes out for the 5S I might enjoy it more. -MW
