I have no reason to use a phone that powerful, and I really dislike Smartphones, mostly because they remind me of work. Plus, watching all the people on the subway on them tinkering and playing with them constantly looks really sad.

However, if I did want to use one, the upcoming iPhone would be my obvious choice.

No, I just got the 4s this past Febuary, money's too tight to mention.

If I had the money...probably. I've had my iPhone 4 for two years (come September).

I think it's a rumor, but I broke my phone and am due for an upgrade anyways that I've been putting off, so yeah I'll get it

Nah. I got my 4S last October. No need to upgrade 'til my contract is up.

I have the 4 and my contract is up. My birthday is in sep. so I'll be getting it as a birthday gift for myself.

I have a new 4s so no, but my daughter will be upgrading her 4 to whatever is the newest version.

They are milking people into a coma. A phone is just a phone..........is just a phone.

I never had an iphone. I'll get one when they finally get it right!

I want the new Samsung phone

Apple and Samsung are now embroiled in a legal battle

not unless mine dies. I just got it and I am using every minute of my two years until the free replacement time!

But I will upgrade the OS if that is possible

BTW I was having serious battery issues, where the phone was dying in less than a day even when I was not using it.

I just discovered how to shut down all the running apps, and found I had about 40 going. I shut them all down, and today the battery has stayed totally full so far.

Nope. I like a phone to be a phone. There is nothing so important on the internet or in an email that it can't wait until I get on a computer. I don't need to connected electonrically to the world that bad. And all of these apps are causing people to forget how to do things themselves. Next thing you know they will come out with an app that will wipe your butt. :-s And watch how many people will sign up for it!

I wanted my phone to be a phone, too, and I had a cheap Nokia for that reason. The thing is, my iPhone is a much better phone, in addition to everything else it does!

good thing to know! from the main screen: tap home twice. A little bar will appear below. It will show a row of icons that will scroll to the right. Push and hold one until they wiggle. then you will see a red circle with a - in it. Use that to close all the apps you are not using.

Yes!

Some people on the internets are claiming that it's BS and does not save any battery life, but I can tell you that the difference is like night & day. Yesterday at this time my battery was more than half dead, and today it is still fully charged.

I was told to turn off wi-fi as well, if not in use

yes, that was what I kept reading.

First I turned off wi-fi, then notifications, then location services, then network data, then siri...but none of it was making a noticeable difference until I turned off all the open apps

I am trying hard to hold out until September.

I hope it IS in September.

I have a 3gs that is raggedy. I can't use it and charge at the same time anymore without the phone overheating.

Did you know when an Iphone overheats, you get this nifty littlle screen that shuts down your phone and a message:

TEMPERATURE!!! Your iphone has shut down until it reaches a safe operating temperature.

That's awful.

I haven't had a problem with my elderly 3GS. Still running perfectly.

Interesting. My phone has gotten pretty damn hot, I wonder how much hotter it can get

Yes it was like pulling teeth to convince you to get the iPhone.

I'm good with my 3GS, as funny as that may seem. My wife is due for an upgrade under her contract, though, so I may get her one as a birthday present.

I have a 3GS as well and have been due for an upgrade since June. Was just thinking of taking care of that, so I think now I'll wait another month and see what's up.

Not when you almost never use it to actually make a call. Phones aren't phones anymore.
