Adam Douglas 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)

John Olinda 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.
