Is the iPhone 5 any good on Cricket?

So my dad was going to buy me a new 16g iPhone 5 for my birthday. And he was going to move on to T-Mobile, but my mom doesn't want to. She thinks the prices are "high".So she wants me to get an iPhone 5 for Cricket. So now my choice is either a Cricket iPhone 5 or nothing. Is it worth it? All i know is that Cricket won't allow 4G into the iPhone 5, which sucks. I mean I didn't get anything for my b-day last year… So i kinda hate that my mom is being cheap:/

Your mum is 100% right! And despite it being your birthday having NOTHING is better than having an IPhone5
You will be extremely disappointed!

GET A PHONE BY All MEANS OR JUST TAKE 15 MINUTES AND GOOGLE, and you will be glad you did NOT find out the hard way

reason 1
The Samsung Galaxy S II, [SGS II] released in MAY 2011 & has 1.2Ghz Dual Core processor with an 8Mp camera (remember 1.2Ghz Dual Core processor with an 8Mp camera!

18 months later November 2012 Apple puts a 1.2Ghz Dual Core processor & 8Mp camera in a phone and call it the IP5 yeah!

reason 2
NOTE THE SOURCE

reason 3
iPhone prices / tariffs on all networks defy logic and gravity, with the exception of SIR I
IPhones are playing catchup anything on an iphone was on other phones MONTHS before,
Everything on an iphone was on other phones MONTHS before

reason 4
In addition to the "8" the SGS II, SGS III, & S IV, all have BLUETOOTH MEDIA TRANSFER! You can send a jpeg music Phone2phone SHARE VIA BLUETOOTH (iPhone just HSP Head Set Profile if one of the phones is an Iphone NO Bluetooth sharing)

Reason 5
Apple as you are aware took Samsung to court for essentially copying, well in part I have to agree, the SGS II has won 4 Phone Of The Year Awards.

Samsung COPIED THIS FEAT when the SGS III won EXACTLY the SAME 4 phone of the year awards a year later
The S IV should (if no crib notes are discovered) make it a Treble [quadruple] win. Copy that

Reason 5S
The SGS II does NOT have 4G LTE but is superior to the IP5, which as I think is you would NOT 4G LTE on it anyway

reason 6
When will it end, the IP5 S is slated for release within the NEXT 4 months, we already know the logic defying tariffs demanded by the Dual Core IP5 (SGS II wannabe ).

The IP5S( S tweaks) imo will still have the same 1.2Ghz Dual Core processor, it [IP5 S] will NOT even come close to matching the BEST Dual Core phone in this the SAMSUNG GALAXY…
The BB Z10 whose 2Gb ram is typical of Quad Core phones http://www.gsmarena.com/...hone2=4910

iPhone have a fixed in battery which is a nightmare, all Iphones are rechargeable phones that don't last a day without being topped up

Nobody is in awe of IPhones if they already have a better phone… For less

The BB Z10 will still be better than the IP5S when it come with even higher prices

People dismiss the SGS II as an old phone, wrong this is why the 4 times phone of the year is so good, look at the specs against another 4 time phone of the year http://www.gsmarena.com/...hone2=4238.
USB OTG means with purchased cable you can DIRECTLY connect a memory stick to the phone!

You can overpay megabucks for an IP5 and get phone that has less features than the SGS 2
also, eg A 32Gb class 10 memory card cost $30.00 Amazon.com, add 16GB Iphone +$100.00

if you do take the better path and a sales-man pushes a 3 MINI to you… Barf, OR politely say NO thanks SGS II thank you. You upgrade to the SGS II if you have a 3 MINI! Or Iphone5
