I've only ever had iPhones, cant complain when they're paid for by work

I would like to try out a samsung s5 or something similar though, no doubt theyre great.

[Plattsy]

Samsung should come with a satchel to keep it in the things the size of a friggin cricket bat

like the one you need to carry your charger around to use every ten mins?

[Sunkist]

I'm happy I left iPhone. But I wouldn't call them far behind.

Na they're good for some people, android are good for some people.

High end models android models are about the same price as entry model iphones, and are just as usable as iphones.

Specs aren't everything, so although iphone specs are a bit behind the 8ball due to their release cycle, the apps are designed for the specific specs... so the User Experience is the same. If you've got a low end android then you're going to have a bad time...

8 MegaPixel vs 16 MegaPixel.. who gives a crap... They both take great looking photos and handle low light really well. If you wanted a pro camera, you'd buy one, instead you're using a phone which is more than capable.

The Samsung S5 has a slightly sharper picture, the iPhone 5S has a slightly more accurate colour capture. Does anyone notice? No...

Personally, I'm an android guy, 100%... but the iPhone is still the best phone for some people, definately not for me though.

yeah 6 months ago we rolled out 300 iphones for work.. not many issues thus far which is good, android I'd imaging many noobs screwing their shit up

[viper2002]

again. who?!

people who own iphones.

having swapped from an 5s to an s5, i wont be going back.

Reviewers for one. Most prefer the shots from the 5S. I use to work as a systems administrator and I currently do mobile app development, so I've worked with my fair share of phones from the different platforms.

Both iOS and Android are good platforms, I just can't stand the people who dismiss one or the other, it makes them look stupid and 99% of the time they have no idea what they are talking about.

This is true. The iPhone 5S processor is faster than the S5 though, even though on paper the specifications are lower.

Oh?

I know they're waterproof but are they beer-proof?

And do they take micro sim?

About rinsing, it could be a issue... Especially where I'm heading.

just piss on it if you have too.

[Count Grantleyish]

Was looking at these sites just then, now to decide what car to use.

Should look around for lap tickets pricing. And decide what package should I go for.

Thanks Martin.

Also, whats the place where you go on a factory tour in Italy and you get to drive supercars or something?

if in the modena area as well I strongly recommend this new Museum

http://www.museocasaenzoferrari.it/en/

when I went there they had the history of F1 from early Maserati 250F through to senna's Maclaren and some newer one, all real cars dripping oil right in front of you

so not just a ferrari wank fest

[Count Grantleyish]

Muchos Gracias Martin.

Gotta include Nurburgring, Oktoberfest, some of Italy, Greece, the sphincter of the universe and Russia, do wonder if I could fit Hungary and possibly someplace into the trip.

Off to do some planning.
