Anyone getting one? I am desperate need of a new phone but don't know if I should trust the new iPhone 5.
Any opinions would be great!

personally i'd get the Samsung S3. Go to your local phone dealer and try out the display models, see which one you you like/can afford

My opinion is that Apple is one helluva marketing company and folks are going to line up and fork over mega cash for the same phone they had last year.
Get an android and use it for three years like the rest of us not-rich people.

I got an email tonight saying mine had shipped so I'm hoping it's gonna turn up on Friday. Will connect to to the Wahoo Blue HRM I've ordered. I'll let you know how it goes! 8-)

To add to this - if you have an iPhone 4S ALL the software peeps are saying just do the upgrade on your phone and voila you have an iPhone 5!

This is a clear example of my opinion: All the iPhone 5 is, is marketing hype. Just like all the iPhones before it.

I want one.
Edit: BUT I have never owned an iPhone, and I'm eligible for an upgrade through AT&T, so I'm getting a discount.

I personally like to step outside the box.. I don't like to follow the masses. There are a ton of good phones out there. I am not entirely impressed with the iphone... Snooorr

I think the screen is supposed to be bigger but that's about it. I do like my iphone 4s - and those are going to be on the cheap now that the 5 has come out. If you want an iphone - I'd go later model.
However, my husband prefers his droid (HTC Inspire) - but my htc kept eating my pictures (like socks in a dryer) so that turned me off and I went back to apple. A lot of sites let you compare the features between different phone brands. I would def start there to get a feel for what you want in a phone then go from there.

If you need to save money and get a phone that has 99% of the features: Samsung Galaxy S2, with the S3 being out I'm pretty sure they are free or like $50. I have one and it's the best phone I've ever had.

I am sure that it will. If you already have an apple product I would just stick with one of the 4s. The prices on those 4s are probably crazy good right now. I never get any of the first generation iPhone. Let the second version come out and I'll get it once all the bugs are worked out.

S3. I hate Apple after they changes their plug in. I immediately went back to my Android after hearing that. Ridiculous.

QUOTE: personally i'd get the Samsung S3. I agree with this. The minute I read that they integrated the touch sensors into the actual screen (instead of it being two layers) I said "h*ll no". The 'spiderweb app' they are prone to getting would render your touch input useless. No thanks. I'll stick to my HTC and Samsung phones that have been indestructible for the last 2 years /knock on wood.

I ordered it! I currently have the iPhone 4, not 4S, so it will be an upgrade to me! I LOVE my iphone. I HATE my husbands droid, he's switching to iPhone too. One of the reasons we ordered is because we want to change service providers anyways. I use it for working out, run c25k, runkeeper, and music all at the same time. I find that a droid is too crazy, too much stuff going on and nothing seems simple. The apple software is very simple and easy to learn.
I like to have different things than everyone else, but when something is done right why worry about being different? Plus everything is catered towards the iPhone, most apps are perfected for it first, accessories, etc. I've personally never seen an android speaker dock... I think it gives you the most versatility and you get more out of it other than it just being a phone. |
