I bought the original SE when it first came out. I convinced my husband to get his shortly after that.

The SE was getting a little too old/slow/full for me and in September I bought a new 11. I think I would have been very unhappy if I waited until now and the 11 is really great, but I don't usually spend that much on a phone, so that wasn't the best feeling.

My husband will order the new SE tomorrow. I'll probably be happier than he will be, as he more tolerant of his phone being recalcitrant, but since we are long distance, I'm looking forward to an improved experience from his end.
