Are you gonna buy iPhone 5?

[envy_me]

I have iphone 4, that I got 1,5 year ago. It is still working okey so I wasn't exactly standing in line for the 5. But sooner or later this one is gonna crash, so I am thinking about what phone should I buy next. Does one stick with the safe option, or risk and go for something else.

Before the smartphone, the only thing that I could work with that didn't irritate the hell out of me was Nokia. I tried most others, they annoyed me for entire time I had them. I regreted buying other stuff then Nokia. So now I'm afraid to switch from iphone, that I am kinda happy with... It's not perfect, but it's no disaster either.

Have you seen all these people in line for iphone 5?? It's crazy, it's JUST a phone!!!

Have you got it yet? What's your review?

What is A iphone?

[vh rides again]

I'll wait till I get a upgrade from Verizon before I change phones.
iPhones do kick ass

The only thing that pisses me off with this iPhone malarkey is the shitty contract thing.
I got the 4s when it came out ,luckily my contact was up about the same time .
But will now have to wait another year to get the 5. And I am so shallow I quite like having an up to date phone ,it's my little treat to myself.
They should have shorter contracts but apple kinda have companies by their bollox and force them to have these lengthier contracts.
Still iPhones do rock ... And the 5 will stop being not as good as the 4s as soon as I get one

[vandeleur]

I did read the 5 had a new connector which makes all these docking stations and chargers obsolete which is pretty cynical, tho am sure there will be a converter at some point .

That is so irritating, why did they have to do that?? And I have not less then 3 chargers :-(

[vandeleur]

Cos apple like our money

[envy_me]

This is my all time favorite phone. If I could just find a new one somewhere, I would only use my iphone for surfing the internet. Look at it, it looks like ice-cream. My old one isn't working :-(

What irritates me the most with apple is itunes. I have ipod and iphone, but I want different music on them, is that even possible??

[vandeleur]

Yeah you can set up different playlist I got a shuffle for when I run case I drop my iPhone . And it has different tunes from my phone

[envy_me]

My iphone is full, no more space. I wanna remove some music since I listen to music on my ipod. lear some space. How do I do that?

Put it all in the Cloud. I jump in my car, my iphone connects to my radio and I can listen to anything I have in my itunes. Purchased, or put there by me. Love it.

What am I gonna do with my library then?

[VAiN]

I'm up for an upgrade and I just dropped and cracked my iPhone 4 a week ago... so phone destiny is in action here. I have a guy here who buys old iPhones - even with a cracked screen, for $200. That will cover the $200 for the 5... I'm waiting for it to be back in stock sometime next week..

You must have an unlimited data plan, right?

[envy_me]

Apart from my hatred for itunes, what really makes ne consider to abandon Apple is that it feels like they are bonding you to them. All purchases, apps, everything. If you buy another phone, you have to do it all over again. Like a cult. It's too much hustle getting out. And the longer you stay, the harder it is to break free. I am just thinking about breaking the bond while I still have the chance.

[Coyote]

Hell no, I'm not buying the new one.

And although I'm quite happy with my 4, I'm curious about the HTC phones... (NOT the one with the Windows OS)

[envy_me]

Is HTC Chinese or do I have it wrong? I really don't wanna support chinese businesses.
(yeah I know, chinese are probably making most of my clothes and shoes, and all other phones, but I avoid it as much as I can)

I believe the iPhone is made in China, so you are already inadvertently supporting China.

Personally, I don't really care where a product is made, as long as the quality is top notch.
Don't get me wrong though. I will gladly fork out some more money for a product that's made under more humane conditions.
But given that I don't have that much to spend at the moment, a choice between, say, a cool 450€ Italian leather jacket and a 40€ "Made In China" faux-leather jacket (which looks cool but is essentially like a raincoat, material wise) is a no-brainer.






I will get that Italian jacket, though, as soon as I get my tax returns...

[ELVIS]

I think the iPhone 4 is the best gadget ever made to date...

It does everything really well...

I'm just gonna get another refurbished 4

Plus I hate the new connector idea...

[fourthcoming]

I will not be buying the I-Phone 5. Can't understand everyone's infatuation with these overrated things. They're phones...they're not saving mankind.....some of us grew up never having a cell phone. Maybe eventually we had a pager....and you know what...we all managed to survive. If the Iphone 12 can one day perform felatio, perhaps I will purchase that one. The world's rediculous cell phone infatuation is not understood by me at all. Car companies are making driver-less cars because everyone is so obsessed with their stupid phones that they can't even stay off of them long enough to drive responsibly. One more thing...do i really need another bill every month that is going to rival my rediculously high cable bill?

I dislike chinese culture so intensly, I really don't want to support them or their companies. There are probably many great individuals there, but their culture is just... I don't know what to say. I am like that as a person, I don't wanna support Mc Donalds, so I more or less never eat there (there are few exceptions the days I feel "relaxed" and naughty that I end up there, but it is really exception) God, I sound so stiff
I also don't want to support meat industry.
I try to buy products that are produced in Europe (often there isn't much produced here, but when there is I choose that) even if it is more expencive, just so we can keep our jobs and industry.

I know iphone is also made in China, but at least it's not a chinese company. If Nokia could make a good phone, that would really solve my problems.

He is THE KING!!! Lol, "nerd tax"

[envy_me]

My options are: iphone, nokia, samsung, sony.. Anything else? (no chinese)

Edit: HTC is from Taiwan, yaaay Now, I've got some research to do :-)

[Angel]

I'd go with Samsung...

[Von Halen]

You must have an unlimited data plan, right?

Doesn't everyone? Simply Everything. What good is technology if you can't use it?

[ELVIS]

No, just cancel the cable and get an iPhone...

[DONNIEP]

No, just cancel the cable and get an iPhone...

If it wasn't for my daughter I'd cancel the cable. I watch everything on my 4s. And I swore to god I'd never watch anything on a phone...

[Angel]

Not me. We get royally fucked up the ass for data up here.

[VAiN]

No, most of us don't have an unlimited data plan on ATT. If you do, you were grandfathered in...

[VAiN]

Apart from my hatred for itunes.

OK, I'll bite - what did iTunes ever do to you? Why the hate and what do you use to manage your music?

[DONNIEP]

Not me. We get royally fucked up the ass for data up here.

I have Sprint and unlimited data. It's expensive - my plan is 90 bucks a month. My daughter is currently with Virgin Mobile and her unlimited data plan is $25 a month. No shit. It would be $35 if she was a new customer but since I've had her on it so long it's just $25. It's unlimited but after she uses so much data it throttles back to a slower speed but it's not that noticeable. And it's running on the Sprint network. So at 25 bucks a month Sprint is making money and Virgin Mobile is making money. Hard to believe isn't it? I'm gonna put her on my plan cause she really wants an iPhone, so bye bye to her cheap plan...

[Angel]

I just found an actual unlimited plan for $60!!! That's CHEAP for here, believe it or not. The bad part is I still have a year left on my contract with my current provider.

I'm not sure which way to go. I'm eligible for an upgrade, and REALLY want to get rid of my piece of shit BB, but don't want to lock in to my shitty provider. Grrr, I hate decisions like this, lol.

[ELVIS]

Get a refurbished iPhone 4 on the $60 plan...

[DONNIEP]

Elvis is right - get an iphone 4 and go with the unlimited data plan. I was dead set against getting a smart phone and I was shocked how much I used it right out of the box. The damn things are gonna be the downfall of society but at least it'll be a fun ride

[Angel]

Only problem is I still have a year left on the contract for this piece of shit... I'm thinking Galaxy III for the new phone though...

[BITEYOASS]

Am I going to buy an iphone5?

[ELVIS]

I'm thinking Galaxy III for the new phone though...

No, iPhone 4 is the best by far...
