Ready to order but want the unlocked one - sure hope that's available right away instead of the wait. Time to ditch AT&T/Verizon - my iPhone 4 contract is up; prepaid, here I come :)

Plus with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 dropping in October-December it's a no brainer. 5.5" screen /drool.

LTE and 4" screen are about the only new things on it. Letterboxing older apps has to be the dumbest thing they have done in the design department in a long time.
I was hoping for something actually revolutionary, but they had nothing. Of course, that won't stop people from buying them like crazy. |
Just watched the presentation online.
The phone itself looks physically attractive. However, besides a taller screen and faster processor, there isn't much to the phone. Not a significant upgrade from the 4 or 4S. |
I plan to upgrade our two iPhone4. I like the new features of the iPhone5. Since my two-year contract was up on 11 Sep 12, I was able to get ATT to unlock my current phones.

Thunderbolt and Lightning are quite possibly the two stupidest names I've seen for ports. What's next? Quantum? Wormhole?
Honorable mention goes to EarPods. Really? |
Question: did Steve Jobs ever tout that their latest product incarnation was "the best we've ever done"?

I just asked Siri (a tremendous disappointment compared to how it's portrayed in the ads), "what's the best phone?"
Siri's response, I $#|+ you not: "The one you're holding." Okay, then I don't need to upgrade. Siriously. |
I think most of you meant to post in some other thread than the "who's getting one" thread.
You're all too funny. You couldn't wait to start posting about it, thus adding to the buzz, intentional or not. :D -David |
I am underwhelmed. Clearly the era of smartphone innovation is over. It is off to the commodity market. As Amazon has noted the profit is in the razor blades now, not the razor. I just wonder how soon it will be before all smartphones are free.

Meanwhile it's fun to poke fun at a phone that meekly sort of catches up to 2011 standards.
