The *official* iPhone 4S thread ... *officially* announced today!!! (*official* iPhone5 thread pending)

Apparently 1 in 3 Americans want a device that hasn't been announced yet. I don't recall that poll, but I'm willing to perform due diligence and start one in the Lounge.

Do you want one?



laugh out loud
Do you plan on buying the next iPhone (4S/4GS/5/etc) within the next year?

I've been a huge android proponent for a while now but was seriously considering the new iPhone that was shown yesterday. All of the rumors were sounding great. That is until it was actually unveiled. All of that for nothing really ground breaking. Yes there are some nice upgrades like the CPU and camera along with it being a world phone but it's nothing that makes me want to go out and buy one right away. the SGSII is still the better choice in specs, and that's without the new Google Prime that's supposed to come out soon as well. So I guess I'll wait for that announcement and then make my decision.

Do you own any?

That stuff is pretty sweet. I have had my phone since December without a protector and it still looks great. I will say it isn't scratch proof though...my pocket knife (a leatherman) gave my phone a pretty deep 1/8" mark one day Frown (And no, it wasn't on purpose / a test, haha)

You prob just had bad credit and couldnt get an Iphone with ATT haha Bet you have never even owned one, Im sure of it if you still say android is better. I will admit I was a a HUGE android fan, hated the first iphone I had, the original, and the service, so I dropped it and went verizon. Since then I had a handfull of android os phones. I will admit none can compare to the iphone 4. Its hands down the best phone I have had. I had to use my Droid X for a day when i was waiting on replacement phone to come in and I could tell the differece in response right off the back. Its much faster IMO and much easier to navigate. But again, its my opinion.

For the iphone? Hell ya, bc it cost so much, to get it at discounted rate, you had to either have good credit, or pay alot extra. They even ran a credit check on our buisness when we bought them for workers. They were super tight with them.

Dh normally goes with me. He'd probably just pay cash for it. We have good credit though.

For a single month? Your data you quote is for a single month? A month during which most Apple consumers are waiting for a new iOS product announcement? Rofl2

I'm glad you can have an intelligent conversation with someone without resorting so random, petty, childish insults. Enjoy your day and your Android. wave

Ha. I'd say there are more Apple haters/trolls that are arguing for the sake of arguing than any "fan boys" arguing. Dontknow
