Sorry, but I'm jumping ship from iPhone 4s to Nokia 920. Just love the wide angle lens on this phone. I had 3, 3G, 4s...so I'm looking for something fresh. Android is fragmented and too much like iOS.

There is an adapter that will work with most acessories.... as clunky as it may be, you dont need to buy anything new. Im sure some wont work. But definatly not a "all" situation.

A lot of people keep expecting the "Jesus phone" from apple every year. But to produce that is simply bad for business. Incrimental upgrades is what keeps you in business. And keeps people coming back. Business 101. And that is all every iPhone has been. Well other than the first one. Plus there is no need to make a better phone if, now 5 years into it, you still done have a real competitor. Some great alternatives sure, but they are not true competitors.

I am half considering it. I dont think it is a must have, but if I can sell the 4s and cover a lot of the off contract price I might do it. But not for a while.

I'm old fashioned and don't use SIRI. It's a 50/50 love hate relationship for that app...for me it's just convenient. I still want the phone. LOL

Lol, nothing new at all. What a joke of a phone. Dumbed down interface and locked up iOS.

I think this phone will sell just fine, probably break some more records. The small screen of the 4s was the most glaring issue and that has been corrected. With Samsung losing to Apple in court, many will be afraid to go with a Samsung fearing they're be forced to change the user interface. Although the new Windows-based Nokia looks good having pretty much no apps will be a difficult sell.

The 4" screen is tiny compared to my HTC ONE X's 4.7" screen. I bet the colors aren't as good either.

Its funny to see such drastic responses to the same product. I just came from another site and the general consensus was it is "Mind Blowing". :lol:

LOL you people are so funny.

Yea nothing new at all:

• Thickness: 7.6mm, 18 percent thinner than iPhone 4S, 20 percent lighter.

• Screen: 4 inches, 16:9 aspect ratio, 1136 x 640 pixels, better color fidelity and saturation, retina display, five rows of icons on the home page.

• Network: 4G LTE connection.

• New processor: the A6 chip, twice as fast and 22 percent smaller.

• Battery life: 8 hours with LTE, 10 hours on Wifi.

• Camera: 8 megapixel, f/2.4, better low light capability.

• Sound: Three microphones, speakers are 20 percent smaller.

• New connector: “Lightning,” the new dock connector, is confirmed. Adapters will be offered.

• Siri: Will now provide sports scores, turn-by-turn map directions and launch apps.

plus you will be able to do Face time over the network or WiFi.

Look I get that there are people that hate Apple fine but don't be so myopic that your not honest.

Another great thing is the value the older iphones hold so upgrading is usually free or you can even make a little if you've kept your previous phone in excellent condition. I'll probably get around $200 for my iphone 4 on ebay which is pretty much the price of the 16g iphone 5. So it's really a no-brainer.

As with most smartphones today.

My current smart phone is mentally challenged, though it's not its fault since it's a 2008 Blackberry model. I've been waiting for the iPhone 5 to come out so the prices on the iPhone 4s will plummet. I won't pay a geek tax (Bill Maher reference) for a new apple release.

IPhone5 bringing 2010/2011 phone tech to you in 2012.

Apple zombies please line up. Now your phone can barely match what I had a year ago.

Still missing a lot of cool tech like wireless charging and nfc.
