Bottom line is that those that are HATING on the iPhone, have either never used one or they like to complicate their lifes with the headaches of the other crap that its out there.

I just saw pics of it last night after this battle I've been watching on here and I have to say it sure does look sexy. Much more so than the GS3, but I've always lived the apple design.

So what you are saying is the carriers in the states suck? The iphones suck because the carriers are not playing fair and want you to pay for a service? My car sucks because the bob's garage has bad service. That is hardly the phones fault. So you say apple should allow you to steal a service?

how am i stealing? I pay for the data and I paid for the device. It's like if you go to the gas station and they make you pay more for the gas in the lawn mower vs the gas in your car. Apple could allowing tethering apps and problem solved.

I don't see the necessity of phone tethering. :/ You will likely always have the phone with you while you may or may not have the laptop. So in theory, you would be able to access the information anywhere. My iPhone has all the capabilities of my laptop, plus some. Why do I need them tethered? I suppose I just don't understand why tethering is such a BIG deal to you OWAL?
As to iOS 6...I like it so far. I'm not sporting an iPhone 5, but my 4S performs nicely. At least for the moment. Being that the tech specs are really not that different between iPhone and Android, it really comes down to aesthetic preference for most. Apple doesn't need to come out with a monster sized phone like Android to compete. Many prefer apple to android because of their design.
And Mike, I have normal sized pockets! Most of the time...lol.

I read the us version of my plan and if you pay for tethering you get tethering third party apps are not needed unless you are trying to hack the service contract to get something you have not paid for. Again it is not a hardware issue it is a provider issue setting up tethering is super easy if you have paid for it and your provider supports it.
