    I got one of the Iphone 5's when they were 1st released. They are great. Haven't had not one problem with the phone or the map. I've used it in Texas, AZ and CAlifornia so far.

    I thought I heard where Samsung got sued over their Galaxy because they copied IPhone and IPad.

    Got some neighbors that got the Galaxy 3, took them back and got the Iphone 5
    Said the 5 was easier to use and worked better.
    So its a matter of opinion.
    The 5 is made a whole lot better too.
    And there are more free apps for the 5
    If you resale the phone the Iphone will bring more money.

    MY OL used to be like that. So did my brother in law and some good friends.
    Now that they have them, they ask, why did I wait so long to learn them.

    Have to agree with CB... if you ever get a smart phone, you are likely to get hooked... :)

    Told my Ol I was gonna get her a regular Phone like the phone she used to have so we could save some money.
    She immediately told me if I jacked with her Iphone she would beat my as*
    She wasn't talkin in a normal voice either.
    Then she said I will cut your Dish TV off tomorrow.:gah:

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
    She makes the money and pays all the bills

    If you have the iPhone 4, why do you even need the 5? It seems people just want more stuff. I have the 4 and it is like f-in Star Trek.

    If you knew you wouldn't be askin this question.

    My Ol will not spend the 199.00 for a upgrade. She had the 3S that used to be mine. I upgraded and gave her the Iphone 4 . She said wow its faster and has a few more options.
    Then I gave her the 4S with Siri. She said I don't need siri. But the phone is faster. She has gotten used to Siri and says I think I like your new girlfriend.
    The camera is better.
    We was sittin at a Harley dealer and she was playing on her Iphone 4S
    I told her , here we are in a LTE network. LTE network only works with the chip in the Iphone 5.
    She played with my Iphone 5 and said her Iphone 4S ain't fun anymore.
    With the Iphone 5 everything is instant. Its at least 25 times faster than the 4S
    My nephew who is a Doctor just got a Iphone 5 for his birthday Saturday.
    He said man what a difference.
    In the condo in Houston my wife can bearly git on the internet with her Iphone 4S in the 4G mode.
    When I went down the Condo for us to fly to AZ on our trip my Iphone 5 was on the LTE network. It flew.
    If you have to ask questions like you did. It evidently shows you don't have a clue or its about money.
    They put faster processors in the phones. Make it get better reception and put better camera and better screens to see makin it easier on your eyes.
    And you got some apps that the other phones do not have.
    And the larger screen on the iphone 5 is definitely nicer.
    And the Iphone 5 is lighter than the Iphone 4 or 4 S and thinner.
    It is well work the money spent.

    If you desire to live n yesterday than keep the phone you have.
    But its in your best interest to upgrade yer phone at least every 2 yrs.

    Only reason you want a 5 is you WANT the 5
    it's not that important

    4 and 4s still makes calls
    4 and 4s still get you email and text
    4 and 4s still takes pictures and videos yeah 5 is better but not that much better
    4 and 4s still plays angry birds

    it's all about wants not needs

    Some people just have to be able to pull
    it out of the pocket and say "lookit me"

    that's about it...

    4 or 4 S does not do LTE. AT the condo my wife can't do things on 4G internet cause she can't git a signal strong enough.
    The 5 also gets more bars on the phone to make phone calls.
    The 5 has a better camera
    The screen is brighter and stronger on the 5
    I've got all of them
    I know the difference
    Git up off yer As* and go git one.

    yeah and its got a built in ginzu knife
    if you point it at a bad guy it shoots a little lazer
    out that cuts off his head

    also the 5 can transport yer azz up to the enterprise
    and will give ya a woody for 3 hours of intersteller sex with
    lt ohuru,

    In the end it's nothing more than a little bigger and brighter screen and a little
    nicer camera, a little more speed but really how fast do ya need the latest deal at best buy to load on yer phone... really?

    If you live on it then yeah maybe but for 99.99%
    of the users it's nothing but a pocket picker...
    not saying it doesn't work but it's like all this
    stuff, it's just stuff....
