^ those are some downright gushing reviews. Amazing considering the whole "It just has a longer screen" hype had the critics set to slam this thing.
I agree, iOS does need an overhaul, but given OSX has been around for 12 years, I doubt it will happen until it needs to.
Also, the fact that Lightning is only USB 2.0 is brutal, even for Apple.
That said, it looks like it is the best all round phone to date. Although I guess I will have to live with missing out on all those NFC enabled registers in Calgary.
