Same old Microsoft! Apple and Google give out free updates that add new features and can make your tired old phone seem a little more new again. I'm over due an upgrade on my iPhone 4 and I'm torn between waiting for the iPhone 5 or getting the Samsung Galaxy SIII. One thing I am sure of is I will NOT be buying a Windows phone or a Nokia handset after Nokia announced they think they do "more than enough for customers" well let me tell you Nokia and Microsoft, as a customer you can never do enough for me and if you think you are doing enough then doon't be surprised when I don't buy your products.
