I heard that the price for the iPhone 5 will be the same as the iPhone 4S.

As long as I can cop a uncontracted/unlocked one, I'm in the money

[Menace]

iPhone 5 is 199 (16GB), 299 (32GB), 399 (64GB) on contract. Pre-orders start on Sept 14.

On another note, only emech can start threads on dick size and iphones and have them become popular.

Question is what to do with our 4/4S's.

Keep for travel/backup phone or resell that shit?

If it's in good condition you can get decent cash for it and use it towards a 5.

Then just have a couple of old flip phones or whatever as extra travel phones to switch out SIM cards as needed.

I paid $325 for my 32GB 4s with contract. They're selling used on Ebay for $465-ish.

If I do a 3rd party or carrier unlock from AT&T I can prob get $500 for it.

I'll buy a 32GB iphone 5 for $299 and pocket the difference. Free upgrade plus $200 ...Win-Win

Emech you getting any play from Skout?

I got a blower out of it in London from a marginal 30-something woman after spending $10 to spam out 500 messages, but that's about it.

Yes. I go for anything less than a mile from my house and push for fast meetings. Maybe 4 or 5 bangs since I started that thread..A few of us were having hotstreaks on there and agreed to not hype the thread up..

[presidentcarter]

I still have a curve, bold, and razr laying around. I loved the razr, I'd still carry it if I needed a talk-only line.

Does it make sense to get it it on contract? The contracts all look expensive with long commitments.

The price is double to triple without a contract or cell service.

Anyone have an iPhone 4s they want to sell me?......posted from my Android.

Why would you need the 32 or 64? For chatting up fat girls on Skout with lots of pictures? I don't watch movies or any of that but will make a video of my kid once in a while how much do you really need?

I have the 8gb and it is a stretch for storing pics/vids/some music and a library of apps.

16gb would suffice for me though.

[Parlay44]

I have the 32GB 4S.

I use it like a USB flash drive to move files back and forth from work to home.
I keep about 12Gb of music on it which I don't even listen to really.

I have a smaller Ipod under my armrest in my car that connects to my stereo.
I can control it from the stereo controls. It rules.

I wanna unlock mine so I can put an American SIM in that bitch. It's 5.0.1

Parlay..Help a brotha out here. I think he has some Canadian company

Update it to 5.1.1 through iTunes then use Absinthe to Jailbreak it.

http://greenpois0n.com/

Then install Ultrasnow from Cydia to unlock it.

I hope this works, the companies in Miami were telling me they couldn't do anything because it was 5.0.1.

Let me try this before heaping thanks.

How to Upgrade to the Latest iPhone for Free

[Vicious]

I guess it'll take awhile before they are released without subscription plans?

Assuming the current subscription plans will remain the same for Iphone 5, the least amount you'll pay for it is $1159. I'm serious. The cheapest monthly plan is 2-years and $40/month.

I think it was only about a month from launch for the 4S before the no-contract version came out.

If you spend even a couple of months a year traveling you're better off with no contract.

Last time I was in the UK I got a pay as you go plan from 3 for 15 GBP / month; included 1,000 texts, 300 min talk time and unlimited data including iPhone tethering so I could get online with my laptop anywhere!

Meanwhile it's almost $60/month for a much more limited plan in the US. US contracts are often worse value for money than pay as you go deals from the same carrier. Just adding tethering on AT&T is an extra $45 / month. It's ridiculous.

I'm due for my upgrade, so I called Verizon today after Apple wrapped up the press conference in San Francisco to check on availability dates. I was told the phone can be pre-ordered starting this Friday Sept. 14th. As for the ship date, they're being less clear. I've heard the last week of this month. The 16GB model starts at $199 with a 2 year contract. The pre-orders are going to be nuts with this thing. I would recommend calling Verizon Friday morning, or going to a store to reserve one if you have to have it when it's released in a couple weeks. Otherwise you'll be waiting til Christmas.

With that said, as you can see from the image above, the iPhone 4S will now be going for just $99 for the 16GB version. Not a bad deal for a fine phone. Anyone going to take advantage of the steep price drop on the 4S? I'm thinking it over. But I'm leaning towards the 5 right now.

Waiting for tech is normally a bad move. Gets outdated fast. Pay more keep it for longer.

[Vicious]

Keep in mind that by now the 4S will have foolproof software while 5 is likely to be riddled with bugs for rthe first 4-5 months.

[reino341]

Apple has pretty good QA so I wouldn't really worry about it.

As a 4S user I'll probably upgrade to iOS 6 when it's out.

Let's talk Iphone 5..Who wants one? I need to see it in person to make a decision but would need an unlocked quadband? version..

Parlay says you can unlock them would it be easier to buy one from the Apple store?

Are you planning on using a discount with your carrier or paying full retail at the Apple store?

I use red pocket so I want to buy one outright if I like it..

I have a 4 and a 3. My 3 has a Dominican sim card and is complete ready to go full of girls numbers and texts..Anyone going there can make me an offer on it. lol

My last trip to Dr I brought my unlocked Nokia and I tried and Orange and Viva chip and I got no service. Is there something about the network in DR which prevents me from using the phone?

I am planning on buying and Iphone 5 unlocked, but I want to be sure I can use it in DR.

[presidentcarter]

iphone 5 white or black? I have the white 4 and its fly and all...but I can't decide.

Riiiiiiight, do I need to remind you while a bunch of iphone 4s users got a gay plastic sleeve on it?

Not really. I'll tell you what happens. They start fattening up the apps to work on iPhone 5 hardware which makes the run too slow on iPhone 4s. This forces everyone to upgrade their phones. They've been doing this with PCs for years.

[presidentcarter]

I don't mind dropping a few hundred on my phone every year or two. It's my #1 tool and I know I will get my money's worth (assuming it doesn't get stolen which has happened numerous time, these things must be kept close to the vest these days).
