Anyone getting one? I am desperate need of a new phone but don't know if I should trust the new iPhone 5.

Any opinions would be great!

    personally i'd get the Samsung S3. Go to your local phone dealer and try out the display models, see which one you you like/can afford

    My opinion is that Apple is one helluva marketing company and folks are going to line up and fork over mega cash for the same phone they had last year.


    Get an android and use it for three years like the rest of us not-rich people.

    Hah, pretty much sums up my thoughts. I don't really understand how it's any different to the last one.

    I got an email tonight saying mine had shipped so I'm hoping it's gonna turn up on Friday. Will connect to to the Wahoo Blue HRM I've ordered. I'll let you know how it goes! 8-)

    To add to this - if you have an iPhone 4S ALL the software peeps are saying just do the upgrade on your phone and voila you have an iPhone 5!

    This is a clear example of my opinion: All the iPhone 5 is, is marketing hype. Just like all the iPhones before it.

    I want one.

    Edit: BUT I have never owned an iPhone, and I'm eligible for an upgrade through AT&T, so I'm getting a discount.

    I personally like to step outside the box.. I don't like to follow the masses. There are a ton of good phones out there. I am not entirely impressed with the iphone... Snooorr

    I think the screen is supposed to be bigger but that's about it. I do like my iphone 4s - and those are going to be on the cheap now that the 5 has come out. If you want an iphone - I'd go later model.

    However, my husband prefers his droid (HTC Inspire) - but my htc kept eating my pictures (like socks in a dryer) so that turned me off and I went back to apple. A lot of sites let you compare the features between different phone brands. I would def start there to get a feel for what you want in a phone then go from there.

    there are infact hardware and software differences in the I5
    if you are not locked into apple then go for the galaxy3
    I am kinda tied into apple because im grandfathered into the original unlimited data

    If you need to save money and get a phone that has 99% of the features: Samsung Galaxy S2, with the S3 being out I'm pretty sure they are free or like $50. I have one and it's the best phone I've ever had.

    This is usually what happens, but it hasn't happened yet. I am sure that it will. If you already have an apple product I would just stick with one of the 4s. The prices on those 4s are probably crazy good right now. I never get any of the first generation iPhone. Let the second version come out and I'll get it once all the bugs are worked out.

    S3. I hate Apple after they changes their plug in. I immediately went back to my Android after hearing that. Ridiculous.

    AT&T or Verizon?

    I have AT&T and I was able to switch to a Galaxy S2 and keep my unlimited.
