Hans Wang Really nice :Dlol

Eric Wainright Everyone has their opinion I suppose. Ive used all 4 platforms, Android, iOS, Windows, and BlackBerry, I like my iPhone 5 the best. It does well with my work. If I ever look for a phone to play games on perhaps Ill go back to Android. But as of right now I dont have the time, nor need to play games since I work 14 hours a day, 6 days a week. Enjoy whichever platform your choose and I will enjoy mine.
