Bye bye Android. Bye bye giant phone. Hello reasonably-sized iPhone 5. Life is good again. (Time until complaint about iOS keyboard: t minus 12 hrs 10 minutes)

Exactly this. My iPhone 5's battery has become too unreliable now so I tried to use a spare HTC I have, the damn thing was so huge & awkward just to hold.
Adam Douglas
Yes, I had the same trouble. My original iPhone all but expired and before I could get a new one, I was presented with a big fancy Android device last Christmas. I didn't want to seem ungrateful but when it turned out that the battery would go down 20% in the space of 90 minutes--without being used and in airplane mode--I couldn't pretend that I liked it. Back to normal now. I just have to recalibrate my hands for a normal screen size now...

Is it the black version? I wish they would bring that color back.
Adam Douglas
No, it's a white/silver one. Technical director at our company has a black one but it's only a colour; I wouldn't swap because his battery is in worse shape.
John Olinda
Yeah, that's true. I'm pleased they're bringing back the darker color in the MacBook line, but it still isn't as nice as the black. Glad you found a phone you like!
Adam Douglas
Well it's rather egoistic of me to make the trials and tribulations of finding a tolerable smartphone the subject of a thread of conversation, but I am genuinely relieved to have a half-decent battery life and a small-form-factor again. I hate that I rely on a mobile device so much but damn it, it's a wallet, a terminal, a status monitor for my sites, not to mention a communications platform even down to IRC.
