Any iPhone user planning to skip the "iPhone 5" version ??

i'll be leaving the apple family for something completely different, but I haven't decided what yet. I just don't want a phone that doesn't fit in my pocket and it seems the iPhone 5 will be bigger than the 4s.

Interesting. I bet LTE feels similar to being on fast WIFI network. At home I always switch to WIFI since my home internet is like 5-10 times faster than AT&T HSPA+. But right now I'm enjoying AT&T superior HSPA+ coverage after suffering with T-Mobile poor data coverage for 13 years. I did get about 2x the speed on T-Mobile compared to AT&T when I did get HSPA+ coverage but that can't make up all the times I was on 2g EDGE or worse on T-Mobile. Honestly I don't notice the speed drop on AT&T 3g vs T-Mobile. I do notice the stronger 3g signals I'm getting with AT&T and the way superior coverage and building signal penetration. This is on Straight Talk AT&T.

Yeah its pretty close but WiFi still feels a little faster for browsing.

I'm surprised people care that much about a camera.

LTE would be a huge plus, but I'm not sure what the speeds are like in Chicago. I know that during rush hour ATT 3G is unusable. Even sending sms takes forever.

Well right now they're great for me but I'm right outside the city, but I didn't notice it getting a worse when I'm in the city. I'm wondering how bad it'll be when the new iPhone comes out, that'll be a big influx of users onto lte.

I'm not certain that the iPhone 5 will have enough new features over those of the 4s to warrant another purchase, but usability, durability, and comfort will definitely be factors in that decision.

Before I had the 4s I only took 5-10 photos/week

Now I probably take 5-10 photos/day

it's just so easy and in decent lighting the quality is quite good.

I dont know if anyone has experienced this but ever since using the GS3, every time I use the ipod touch or my friend's iphone 4 now, it feels like Im using a phone for kids. It never occurred to me before til I got the GS3. The phones "feel" tiny, and Im not sure why but now the icons that use to look perfectly sized, all look "cramped". Cant believe the bigger screen has spoiled my standards. Sort of like using a 24" monitor and then going to a 17" one.

Also the other thing I noticed is less eye strain which seems to be a common rant amongst my colleagues about the small screen size of the iphone.

I find the GS3 far too big and awkward myself. I have small hands though.

That was how I initially felt. Now I cant go back D:

I experienced that two years ago with my Droid X!

Now the SGS3's just amplified the effect.

I'm skipping it, and every other phone out there, because I'm not eligible for an upgrade until July 2013.

1+

How small are your pockets? I could fit a Note in my pocket if I wanted to.

Def getting the 5. Have the 4 right now. Wish sprint had the lte network up and running in south Florida. Maybe by December if the reports are right. Need the sick camera. Ifniphone 5 has the same camera I will probably upgrade to the 4s on cl and wait for the 6 to come out. Only reason I think the camera might be the same is that there are no rumors about it and apparently the supplier has had issues with the new camera development since tsunami in Japan
