I'm hearing conflicting reports. Sprint store says yes but the Gorilla glass website doesn't have iphone 5 as one of the phones they partner with. You'd think they'd have "Iphone 5" loud and proud if this were true. Big selling point for me

Does not have gorilla glass but I bought one (Iphone 5) anyway. This phone is easily the best machine out there and it isn't even close. We have used top shelf android and they can't compete. I hear the samsung galaxy note 2 (labron james commercial) is close though and that sony Xperia looks smooth. I always missed blackberry for texting on the go but Iphone 5 voice recognition accuracy makes this a non-issue IMO. I wish they would use "push" email system but I guess the battery drain would be an issue. Great phone

You are apple biased. Galaxy III goes toe to toe any day.
