iPhone 5

[orpheus]

I had a sales call the other day. Normally I just hang up as quickly as possible but this one sounded good. The deal was from a reseller of my phone provider contracts. The deal was if I kept my current phone (Iphone4, which I am still very happy with) I would get an improved deal with more phone time, data etc for£10 a month less plus £100 back in the form of a cheque! It seemed like too good a deal to be for real so I phoned my provider to check it was on the level - which it is.

So many people want to upgrade their phones as soon as possible it seems,. but many people are perfectly happy with the Iphone 4 - I certainly am, that they spotted this as an opportunity.

Hmm. I doubt AT&T would go for this. They want people to upgrade; it requires new contract.

The hype and hysteria around apple and new tech generally is such that a lot of people will automatically go for the Iphone 5. However if one stops for a moment and thinks about it the 4 is a superb phone and this company have targeted people who don't just want to mindlessly upgrade to a phone with a slightly bigger screen for an extra £X a year for the 'premium'. Avarice feeds these industries!

Well that's certainly true.

I saw an ad for it in the telstra shop i want one. I'd get the biggest capacity you can afford you dont want to be stuck with a slow arse phone you always need more than you can fill.

Not always. Hubby has the smallest 4S and it's no where near full. My Droid has lots of space left also, without using the card.

Depends on how you use it my iphone is also my mp3 player and atm it has 20GB of music on it.

I got an iphone 5 now the 64GB version and i had no problems with it warning though if you have an old version of itunes the bloody thing won't let you use it to upload stuff to your phone unless you upgrade to the latest version of itunes. Oh and they have changed the plug from the old 30-pin version to what they call a lightning plug (aka microUSB) it looks like this.



This means unless you buy an adaptor or your device that you hook up your iphone to to play music has an aux jack it's essentially obsolete.I did find tonight an adaptor the official one is $35 but i'm buying a knockoff from ebay for $13.

Oh and the.earphones.are.fucking.awesome the old ones sounded good but fecking fell out of your ear all the time (well thats what i found) whereas unless i'm really headbanging they don't fall out and these ones have better sound that the old ones.

To cut a long story i love the iphone 5 alot and i'm a unashamed fan boy.

I'm going to iPhone 5 January as my ATT contract expires. Going to Verizon. 40 min too long on the phone to ATT to fix a bill was the final stroke. My 2 kids are already on Verizon.

Nokia camera phone (free phone! with valuable camera...the only camera you need) is an option.

I'd just like to point out that the iPhone 6 is supposed to be released Q1 2013. Enjoy your 3-5 months of new Apple smell.
