Work phone is a black iPhone 4 in a black Magpul Executive case. On Verizon network.
My personal phone is a Samsung Galaxy Nexus in an Incipio case. On Verizon 4G LTE network.

Reducing any devices thickness by 18% and still incresing its battery life is a pretty good accomplishment. Also many small improvments add up to a large improvment. Do you mind telling me what you think would of been monumental improvment? and also point to another device that has made such a great improvment.

Notification Center in iOS 5 was a huge usability improvement (although it was just to catch up to Android)
Retina Display in the iPhone 4 was a huge improvement (kicked off the demand for high resolution screens)
The exterior hardware of the 4 is considerably more impressive than most other phones
Siri was a solid jump forward towards making speech controls usable by normal people (before, quite esoteric)Basically if you can handle a iPhone 4S, it’s pretty easy to imagine what the 5 will be like.
We’ll see if the iPhone has solved the 4G battery life sucking problem. My 3G was pretty lousy when it couldn’t find a tower, and since 4G has even less of a footprint, it might have the same problem.
Contact integration like Windows Phone would be a good, but it breaks Apple’s silo’ed app philosophy.
No one is sure if the 5 has NFC or not.I don’t think there are going to be any huge improvements in smartphones, their technology is becoming quite mature like PCs.
Thanks for posting this thread, SilverFox – I have made a copy and will send it along with my other files when my partners ask my advice on illumination tools.
I don’t own a single gun but if I did I think I would get a Barrett Rec-7 and a FN five seven and a 45/70 revolver.
Yes, all those things are mainly incremental improvements over the existing 4S. Thinner is somehow an astounding new feature?

A truley incremental upgrade.

To be honest I hear that ios6 won’t be able to get free in app purchases once jail broken. If I do get it it will be my work phone. I can not leave my nexus.Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Meaning… you can’t steal in-app purchases anymore?Why are you on the fence? It’s just a slightly taller and faster 4S, an incremental improvement.

Hello greenLED,
I don’t have a DSD charger, so I can’t comment on it.
I do have the Pila ICB charger. I use it a lot and highly recommend it.
Of course, the Schulze greatly reduces the need for other chargers… 🙂

A truley incremental upgrade.Back in my camping days, I always carried a pencil and pad. With a pencil, you didn’t have to worry about it running dry or jamming up with grit. Besides you can use a pencil as a fire starter.
I have a small Rite in the Rain notepad in a drawer which would be much better in a FAK. (…’cos you know it’s going to be raining. And dark. And cold, etc.! ;))
I recall another thread on here about odd items in FAKs. The ones I took away from that were an unbreakable mirror (for self-treating things like scalp wounds), an OTC dental anaesthetic called Oragel, and children’s plasters (bandaids) (‘cos Spiderman or a Disney princess makes everything better when you’re 4!)
