cuthy2k Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 my 3GS contract is up in a matter of days so will be checking out the prices for this. IF they are after ??? for it and want to charge me higher than my current contract they can bolt. iphone signal issue for me is a biggie - hate not getting a signal because a blade of grass is 2mm higher than the others(!) which somehow seems to block out my signal but not anyone elses (who all have HTCs etc).

kingantti1874 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I hate stuid posts like this.. Especially given there are more android phones than iPhones in circulation.. Is there am htc "no quite as good as an iPhone" sheep pic? Ps I have had both and am currently using an htc hd7, all round the iPhone is far and away the best device... So I may buy the 5.

The Gasman Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Having just got an iPhone 4 no To be fair to Apple, each time they've released a new model of the iPhone, they've offered a free upgrade to those who'd only recently bought the previous model, so you might be lucky.

Sheriff Fatman Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 It'll no count as some weegie bas will have left it in a boozer the daft smelly tramps ? Apple must have a lot of staff from the Weege, they keep leaving their prototypes in pubs. If you find one and some guys turn up at your house claiming to be the police check their ID very quickly as it will probably be Apple employees posing as police. The iPhone5 is going to be another extremely good piece of kit let down by Apple's nanny state mentality as to what you are allowed to do with your own phone.

So many people see this as a weakness when in reality that is the whole point sheriff, what apple realised is that the majority of people don't want to tinker, they don't want freedom-they just want it to work perfectly with no hassle and whilst it doesn't do much that's unique - it does do most things so much better than the competition... apple want to define the experience with ios an osx to ensure everything just works as described - and that's why they are now the most valuable company on the planet by Market cap... $350+ bn last time I looked just above exxon and Microsoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well 3bn more in the first quarter of 2011, still phenomenal performance for a tech sock especially since 06! And set to be much closer in 12 I think their company mantra is if you want us to define the experience and ensure your device works by an iOS device, if you want to tinker / side load software etc buy something else, that's the question they are posing to the consumer... Anyway, I like them all... Think wp7has a huge amount of potential if a few loose ends can be squared off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to sites like "Engadget", or just Google "iPhone 5", you'll get any amount of speculation, but no hard facts. I share the belief that the new handset will be announced late this month or early next (I'd back 7th Oct, as was mentioned in an earlier post) but Apple have not yet said anything definitive.

Even if you eventually decide you don't want to pay for, or can't afford, the iPhone 5, I'd imagine there'd be some cracking deals on the 4 with shops wanting to move their stock. There are also rumours that as well as the 5, there may be a 4+, or a 4nano. If either of them are correct the standard 4 price is bound to fall.

Over here it's good for iPhones like 02 you top up ?10 and you get a good amount of usage for the month. Not sure, don't pay much attention. Contract ends up costing me about $90 a month for unlimited usage of everything, plus a few calls back to the UK. I'd imagine the iPhone 5 will probably cost about $200 up front, with a 2-contract. I'd say you can get much better deals for phones over in Blighty. I suppose they've got to put up a lot more masts here, though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deek Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 iphone4 is the dugs, best phone I have ever had.

Tazio Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I've made the move from a Blackberry to an iPhone. Amazing bit of kit it has to be said but as a phone for everyday things like phoning, texting and e-mail the Blackberry pisses all over it. However the web access is hugely better and I enjoy the ability to easily control my baking etc on the move. So it all comes down to what you need really. And the QWERTY keyboard on the Blackberry takes some beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gershwin Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Been struggling along with a shitey old phone since I lost my 3GS in May. The Nokia handset I'm using is only two years old but it honestly feels like something from the dark ages. Not surprised Nokia are complelely messed. Weighing up whether to buy out the last 4 months of my contract or wait til February when my upgrade date arrives. Can't wait to have a smartphone again.
