I upgraded to iPhone5 from an older 3G model that had a battery that was getting real tired. I really love the iPhone5, the speed is absolutely amazing on 4G-LTE.as for Apple maps...I find it absolutely amazing...give it a chance before pitching it out the 3d view is amazing...ya sure there are some glitches but think back Gogle maps was riddled with errors when it first launched. I was disappointed that Apple didn't make the screen wider as well as longer. Apple upgraded the power/data cable to the lightning plug...it is better at transfering data and power. I plan on buying an adaptor when they are available. The droids are one way to go, but I didn't want to abandon my purchased apps so that was afactor in favor of staying with iPhone.
