iphone 5

Post by Bluefalcon »

Anyone else getting/upgrading to the new iphone this Friday?. My old contract ran out last month (perfect timing) so i've been holding off renewing it until the 5 was released. I just missed the pre-order last week so hopefully the store near me won't have any crazy lines when I try to get it?. It does'nt bother me if I have to wait a few extra days or weeks but those apple fanboys can be nuts and will camp out for days to get one lol

Apparently the New York store already has a massive line up since Friday... that is a bit crazy for me :P I love Apple products but not THAT intense. And some people are offering lining up for anyone who wants to get the phone but that don't feel like being in line, it goes from 50$ to 150$ ... good business if you have absolutely nothing to do :P

I will definitely upgrade to iPhone 5, I went from 3 to 4 and now 5... I called Rogers to see if I could upgrade and they'd charge me $200 for it, but the guy really wanted me to get Samsung Galaxy III and he said he would remove every fee, meaning I would get it for free, very tempting and the SGIII seems like a great phone but I don't like that it's way too big, I don't like holiding a brick in my hand. And iPhone 3 was my first ever phone (I was very late to the party when it comes to getting cellphones) so I think I will just stick with Apple.

I per-ordered mine through Apple when it went on sale last Friday. It should be here in 2 weeks. Most of those who lined up in New York are getting paid to do so. They're purchasing unlocked iPhones for scalpers to resell back in China or Hong Kong. I originally lined up for the iPhone 4, but missed out by 2 people.

I love my iPad 3 as well. My wife took over my Macbook that I bought last year.

Picked mine up this morning. I don't use the phone to surf the net or listen to music or whatever else so as long as it rings and sends messages that's all I need it to do :lol: Other than owning an ipod classic i've never been an apple fanboy and never will be. If something does what I want then that's good enough for me no matter what company it's from. As mentioned above, the only reason I got it is because I was out of contract and wanted to try something else even though I had no complaints with my previous phone (Samsung Wave).

I ordered mine on Tuesday. I should have it in a few weeks. Right now, I'm using my 3Gs. I updated to the iOS6 yesterday. And, it really seems to be a drain on my battery. Plus, my Cozi organizer app seems to be screwed up because of the update. Hopefully, this will improve with the new phone. It'll be nice to have the ability to FaceTime with my wife and daughter when I'm away on business.

Got the email saying it is shipped, will get mine Monday afternoon which is a lot sooner than expected.

My 3GS stayed strong for over 2 years and 3 deployments; looking forward to the speed (and size) of my new 64g.
