Just read the review, won't be rushing out to buy it, its lighter, taller and brighter and the video phone is HD quality which is something i hardly use anyway, at least there is an adaptor so you don't have to buy all the accessories again which is £25, i'm happy with the 4 for now.

Yeah I am happy enough with my 4S for a while. Not sure that I will be getting another Apple next time anyway...

I'll be getting it I'm a month overdue upgrade. Should still get £200+ for my 4. Plus gonna be on 4g which is faster than home broadband I believe?

i saw a demo of 4g hit over 30 megabits per second ,so yeah betch much faster than most home broadband(not mine though

) , not sure why you'd need a mobile device that fast though.

I am overdue an upgrade by about 6 months, so i will be getting one too
My iphone 4 is over 2 years old but it's a 32gb, so should get good money for it

You can pre order tomorrow for next friday's release
Don't forget 4G will only be available on Orange and T Mobile, for the time being, launching before Christmas in 16 cities

I am on an old Unlimited internet plan with orange (i use about 3gb of data a month)
Well, Sky Go hammers it if you watch a football match

Don't think Orange offer an unlimited data plan now, although T Mobile might?

So it's either an Upgrade and lose my unlimited data, or join T Mobile
Or wait for 4g and join 3 who do unlimited data deals that are pretty decent, (poor network though)

Choices choices lol

If you ring up you should be able to carry your current plan over, or have a look online. Im on orange and last time i upgraded i thought the same, but somehow i managed to keep the same deal with unlimited internet etc.

Best clear up some misconceptions about this...

When the iphone 5 comes out over here, LTE will only work on EE where they have deployed the LTE kit. Its not 100% coverage. LTE on Three will only work from next September (2013) This is the contract they have with EE.
Once Vodafone / o2 have their LTE up and running, different versions of the Iphone 5 will be released (different as in they will have a different LTE chip). The current LTE chips being used on the iphone 5 are not multi-network compatible. LTE will only work on a network that has the required frequency for said model of the iphone. Meaning LTE on a European iphone means no LTE out of europe. (3G/Edge will be fine however)

I am on tmobile and am on the biggest contract they do. The iPhone 60 plan which is unlimited everything. Although my calls are lImited to 38,000 minutes per month I can't see me using that! Is it possible? I am on friends and family so get this half price (£30). But the iPhone is free. I wondr if 5 is free?

Pre ordered mine today with Orange
Second one on the list in that particular shop

They might be letting me stay on my old tariff
However i will have to change to a new 4G tariff when it becomes available

As BFK would put it I was a 'batphone' (can go with that, but quiggle. Really?) man.

Saw the galaxy and was a android convert and giving the lastest release from Apple I won't be rushing back.
