There's this app called SwiftKey on Android, download it. I heard it's just as good as an iPhone's keyboard.

I'll give that a shot, thanks.

Picked up an Iphone 5 a couple of months back. Not that impressed with it. It's been a hassle at times too. Wish I waited, like the look of that new Xperia. I wanted the new Lumia, looks beautiful but lol Windows 8.

Not sure, just rooted using Odin.

There were a few other files I downloaded too, would the ROM have been one of them?

For anyone one who's rooted, do you know how to move apps to the SD card? I've used Gameloft to SD and titanium and neither have worked properly.

Am I the only one that finds the iPhone 5's design blocky and outdated?

by Onyx Tue Mar 05, 2013 11:04 am

Blocky as in it has a narrow screen design?

by BarrileteCosmico Tue Mar 05, 2013 1:38 pm

as in it looks like a brick compared to the more smoothed edged designs

It's just everywhere. Every room I walk into its there on the table in every house and office lol. Be it the 4, 4S, 5 etc..

by FalcaoPunch Tue Mar 05, 2013 2:42 pm

You probably are I have no idea how someone can say the iPhone 5 is blocky/outdated.

Outdated = Samsung Juke
Blocky = Jitterbug

I'm not sure what your interpretation of the above terms is though

by Onyx Tue Mar 05, 2013 3:15 pm

Thing with the iPhone is it's expensive and there's phone that are cheaper and better.

by Firenze Tue Mar 05, 2013 3:57 pm

Pretty much the only reason I bought my iPhone 5 was because I'm not a fan of this "tablet" phone phenomenon, they're all way too big these days. I pretty much bought it primarily for aesthetics, I'm vain like that. I only use it for music, calls and texts. For me it's the best looking phone on the market, but I'm a fan of simplistic, elegant things.

Yeh, a lot of the high end smartphones nowadays are over 5 inches in terms of height.

not really most are 5 to 4, majority being 4.8.... all if not most phones above 5inch are called phablet hybrids aka Note

if you go by screen size, Gs3 is 4.8, Htc is 4.7, Nexus 4 is 4.7....

The iphone maybe 4inch but it's 4.8 in height which is just .5 inch smaller then Gs3 and .4 then Nexus. and resolution wise both are better then Iphone

by Onyx Tue Mar 05, 2013 4:40 pm

I think the majority of quad core phones are over 5 inches.

Yeah I can agree on that

by TalkingReckless Tue Mar 05, 2013 6:40 pm

However Iphone does have a good resale price

by Onyx Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:49 am

Every time I try and downloaded a big gameloft game, I get a 'could not be downloaded due to an error (498)'. It's either 498, 492 or 488 in the brackets.

However smaller sized games work.

I've tried the swapping the internal and external SD card mod and it hasn't worked.

What do you think about the new Xperia Z ?

by Onyx Fri Mar 15, 2013 10:38 pm

5.47 inches is too tall imo.

Good looking phone but bigger then S3 and Htc One... and Sony has a bad rep of not updating their phones

Slightly off topic but I am currently looking for a new phone.

All I want is somthing that is able to hold and play my music (getting rid of ipod), Has internet and Obviously makes calls and texts. Most importantly though, I'd like one with a long battery life even when playing music.

suggestions?
