[quote=ZILLION]This is just amazing I can't wait for the battle. http://reviews.cnet.com/...one-and-blackberry-z10/[/quote] How would these compare with the Iphone5? Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around....

Much better than the iPhone 5: http://www.gsmarena.com/...1=5125&idPhone2=4910In a place where thought is abandoned, freedom can become a curse.

iPhone 5 - No nfc,html5.Not future proof.
BBz10 - OS,developers and apps issue.
HTC - comes in second
Samsung - Best processor,good battery,best camera,display as good as htc,weight second only to iPhone,IR port(possible universal remote apps),Multitude of sensors,HTML5,Adobe Flash.

How do you intend to use NFC in Kenya? What are the draw backs of no html 5 in iPhone 5 for you? Future proof - how long do you intend to have your smart phone before upgrading? And what are the future proof specs you find in HTC, BB and Samsung? Why would you need the apps that BB 10 does not currently have? Which ones are they? How would Samsung having the best processor make it better than the rest when they are mostly on different OS which means that higher processor power may not necessarily lead to better performance? Have you for example considered whether the way QNX, iOS and Android operate in determining that the best specs mean the best phone? Would it not be better to consider phones based on actual performance when in use as opposed to specs?

Samsung S4 is crap from the word go Starting with its plastic cheap cover...no innovation at all compared to its previous. Quad Core proccessor for what?? Is it to be operated in spaceships \rockets?? Battery is pathetic, Other phones has flash,HTML5,HDMI and many other superb features Compared to the Sony xperia z ,it scores very lowly

Have you for example considered whether the way QNX, iOS and Android operate in determining that the best specs mean the best phone? Would it not be better to consider phones based on actual performance when in use as opposed to specs? NFC is the next payment method.It works in seamlessly with our mobile payments.Google is on it with the beba card and orange I think has phones on it.Safaricom will make a move on it.It has a variety of applications that can be exploited. Drawbacks,html5 is a relatively new but powerful standard that incorporates both smartphones and pc in its implementation.With it you don't have to worry so much about which phones people have and it will be preferable in some implementations over making apps.Its easier for developers thus it will flourish. By future proof,I was talking in terms of avoid upgrades.Technology has a tendency of upgrading an object and adding a few things here and there.The phone has the most important upgrades in the smartphone arena,NFC and HTML5. There are no future proof specs when it comes to smartphones.The technology becomes cheaper and better with time.Thats just how it is.IMO the Samsung can shield someone from unnecessary upgrades from some time.Although considering the price someone who can buy comfortable might not find this an issue. BB has to battle with IOS,Android and Windows OSs.Its easier to find one of those developers than it is BB.Apps tend to follow market share. I agree,it is better to compare a phone on performance more than on specs but at some point they still pull a lot of weight in performance.

Galaxy S4 is a joke amidst all the hype. Gsm arena comparisions are based on specifications only and not usage ,or performance. Specs and performance are two different things, Nokia had the N95 bin with so many features but its performance was pathetic to say the least..

Currently using the BlackBerry z10 (but do I say?!?) used the iphone4s before that and the s3. Personally, blackberry have hit a home run with this device, IMHO, its the best I have used. IOS feels tired, android, I'm not sooo comfortable using in terms of security checking account online etc.... . used the z10 since Feb 8 and so far, so good

@Faa when you get to use the Quadcore processor... you will wonder how you managed all this time. not too sure about NFC but that said it might catch on but it would not be the reason to uy the S4, the normal plastic card will prob have more penetration than NFC enabled phones...Battery life will always be an issue with these phones so no real comparison there.
Still would not but the Samsung but would gor for the hTC anytime.
