My partner has an iphone 5 (I dislike them for the same reasons as Mick) and is with Boost, I thought they were optus but she tells me telstra and I can say that she does not have any service issues whatsoever and always has service any time anybody else does and most often longer.

"The Apple 5s is supposedly a bluetick ph " May as well be a cattle tick.

I love my iPhone 5s, the app ecosystem is better, less chance for exploits and the camera is the best on the market.

I am now begrudgingly with Telstra but in saying that their service is miles ahead of the competition.

Downside to an iPhone is no user replaceable battery, no external antenna connection and a smallish screen.

My advice is to hold out to August/September when iPhone 6 is announced and you will get a bigger screen (likely 4.7").

You can't change the resolution on the camera!

Glenn

Why would you want to?

[MISSED]

I have seen some of the pics on Glenns ph and they are awesome.

Not sure what resolution Glenn has it set on but it works well

I have a Sony Xperia Z1, it has better service than an iPhone by far, my old man and I use both side by side, and the Z1 smokes it, better battery it seems too, although the iOS is more stable and is a little bit better as far as music goes etc.

If your worried about service, just put it in a car kit? That's what I did, because I work in areas of next to no service normally.

Look at a Bury System 9, it allows you to change the faceplate on the phone, which means you can change phones using the same car kit, pair it with a 6.6-7 db aerial and you'll be set. I had the system 9 till it got stolen out of my vehicle, it is an excellent choice.

My personal setup is a ZCG Scalar 6.6db aerial, and a Strike smooth talker. It works well.

Hey Andrew, just took Kerriet's 7 month old samsung galaxy in for warranty repairs as it just froze. Second one she has had problems with.

I like my iphone

[crackers17]

Iv got a s5 and very happy with it. .

[kickinback]

I have had a nightmare run with Samsung. Sent one back 5 times because the camera stopped working. Each time it came back fixed, but after an hour it either froze, turned itself off or camera failed again.

I like my iPhone too.

Bloody hell what are doing to them lad?
S1->S2->S3 all Cyanomod'ed on nightly builds- all stable.

The only one I've had "freeze/lockup" is this S3 just a fortnight ago. Updated and it started "automatically rebooting" every 2-4 hours.

Downloaded the next nights build- installed- and no more issues.

Hey Mate,
Had them all over the last few years, I spend all day on road all over Vic, city and rural, as much as i hate to say it Telstra has by far the best coverage and fastest speeds. Had all the iPhones in the past, went to a HTC XL One ( android) , pretty good if your a gadget freak like me, but not as easy to use as an iPhone, now have a Samsung Note 3 , by far the best phone i've had, but same as HTC, more complex then the iPhones. Something to consider, cheap phones are easy to replace for next to nothing, drop a Note 3, broken screen = $550 ouch

I stuffed around with Optus and was sick of no sevice as soon as I was out of city limits , yes Telstra is a bit pricey but I have a I phone 5 with them and service where I've never had it before and happy with the phone to

If you want Telstra coverage but not deal with Telstra, Aldi prepaid use the Telstra network.
