IPhone 5- who is getting one?
Today is the day. I am a bit excited as I still have the IPhone 4 and am so ready for a new Phone. I think it will be the IPhone 5 so anxious to see the big unveiling this morning.
Who is getting one and locked or unlocked?

Unless it's not what we all expect, I'll be ordering one. My BB is past the two-year contract, and no Android phones meet my firm;s security requirements. With BB, iPhone, and Windows as my options, I think I'll finally need to give in.

Not me unless it shows up with something that no one else has. I have the current version. While I like the precision of the device very much. I really, really do not like the way it is locked down and restricted. I am going back to the Android world.

Yes..... That's a big problem for me. We're suffering a slow death by a thousand security policies and I suspect with the latest Exchange upgrade, Android will no longer be supported. My solution? Probably a Windows Phone 8 phone once the dust as settled and these can be bought SIM free at reasonable cost. The iPhone is unfortunately off putting because it's yet another SIM standard.

I don't see the point upgrading. There will be those that 'need the latest version' but for the rest wait and see. Also point to remember is DATA plans, unless your lucky enough to still have unlimited date (i do thank god) you could get burned come statement day.

No thanks, not after I've seen Apples lawsuit tactics and the patents they've been hoarding.
Plus with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 dropping in October-December it's a no brainer. 5.5" screen /drool.
A lot of iphone users I know are switching to the Note 2 when it comes out, spec wise it's amazing and it's not as locked down as the iphone is.

Siri's response, I $#|+ you not: "The one you're holding."
Okay, then I don't need to upgrade. Siriously.
