Mine is on on order, still. I can hardly wait. I'm down to one charger for my ancient Nokia.

Please don't go there. I have already asked Santa for a new iPad.

I wish you guys would quit talking about your new iPhone. You're making me want to get one even though I don't need one! ;P My brother in law and his wife keep showing theirs off to my wife..... so it might not be long. ;D

Hey, things could be worse. Our best friends have a 2008 Mustang convertible, and my wife keeps showing off her 2012 Mini Cooper S Convertible. The iPhone is less than one payment on the Mini Cooper. :Mischievous:

Owning a 10+ year old dumb phone gives me a perfect excuse to buy an iPhone 5. I ordered it three weeks ago. We'll see how long it takes to arrive.

I'm not due for an upgrade for another year - but - just last night the wife asked if I'd mind if she added a line for her mother - since she keeps going over her anytime minutes - largely because of conversations with her mother. Even as "Yes I mind" was coming out of my mouth - I thought - hmmmm - if Amy (the wife) gives her mom her phone, I give Amy my phone - does this mean I can get an iPhone 5 at an upgrade price since we're adding a 3rd line...?? Don't know if that will fly - but if it will - I will join the ranks of you iPhone 5 users. :)

Now that is an impressive rationalization for getting an iPhone 5. Go for it!

Just did a speed test using cellular data (I live and work in a fringe area) and got 4.89 and 3.28 MBPS download speed on two trials. Tested it because internet access felt a lot zippier than normal.

That is a fabulous idea! I see nothing wrong with the plan. :) I only have to hold out until 11/25 as my wife "stole" my upgrade. But, a happy wife = a happy life!

Ah the joys (and there aren't many) of being a poor grad student. Since I can't afford it, I can't be all that bothered. So please, continue to extol the virtues of your new devices.

But just think, in 11 months you can have the "bigger" iPhone6.
