Admin_2 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Jeab and I are sharing one phone now. I'll be getting a 4s this month, though it doesn't sound much different than the iPhone 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarangFarang Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 I'm trying to decide on my next move. Apple was calling the 4S a truly international phone because it does both CDMA and GSM but it is only truly international, in my opinion, if the phone isn't locked to the network. It's not enough that I can roam in Thailand with my iPhone. I want to be able to pop in my Thai SIM and not have to pay outrageous roaming charges to AT&T. I have the 3GS which is fine but I've have had it for a few years now and I wouldn't mind the upgrade. I just don't want to pay the full $600 or so for the phone and have them release the iPhone5 in 3 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple is also releasing iOS 5 and iCloud next week. Edited February 17, 2014 by FarangFarang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English_Bob Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Disappointed. I was waiting for the iPhone 5. Hanging on and ignoring the degenerative state of my iPhone 3. I thought, "iPhone 4 was SO much better than iPhone 3. So iPhone 5 will be fantastic!" Now I can't be bothered buying the 'new slightly improved iPhone 4'. I think I'll buy an original iPhone 4 at a knock down price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Bit of a let down, I still use 3gs and was thinking if it is something fantabulous then I would consider it. Although that Samsung S2 or whatever it's called look pretty damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crustyjuggler Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Just heard Sony pictures acquired the rights from Walter Isaacson (Job's bio) for the movie on Steve's life.. Really hope Stanley Tucci get's the later years, i think he'd do Steve a great justice.. Don't you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustyjuggler Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 (edited) As for the 4s, I'm not really disappointed when you think about carrier contracts which are nearly always 2 years for iPhone. So now 3gs owners are ready for 4s and next year contracted 4 owners are ready for iPhone 5.. Seems pretty logical for a model to have a 2 year lifespan but with a feature and CPU speed bump in-between for late adopters. 4" screen would be nice but i don't want a hummer sized phone.. So something slick and edge to edge maybe, the current screen is a little too small for my eyes but the phone itself is simply gorgeous which separates it nicely from all the plastic stuff out there.. imho.
