I currently have the iPhone 3GS and my contract's up. I'll probably wind up getting this. Anyone else plan on it? Excited about this release? Disappointed?

If you still have the 3GS, then the 4S is a MUST upgrade! I have the iPhone 4 and still want to upgrade. But I'll admit the move from 3GS to 4 was bigger than 4 to 4S. The fact that it's not called iPhone 5 means next year's is going to be even more significant. But the 4S (and iOS5 and Cloud) is quite impressive. I've had an iPhone since they came out, and have had every model except the 3G. Love it!

PS - ATD had the best coverage of yesterday's event...

A friend of mine was trying to tell me to wait for the iPhone 5 but like you said, compared to the 3GS, the 4S is a pretty big upgrade. I'm really excited about the Siri technology. That looks sick!

RIP Steve Jobs.

As I said on FB, "The biggest visionary in computing, and music/mobile devices. A sad shame and huge loss. I didn't even know it was that imminent, despite knowing about his health problems."

I'm buying the wife an iPhone for Christmas, but I'll never own one myself. I'm too spoiled by the freedom of Android, and being able to do whatever I want with my phone. (rooted custom ROMs, SD Card storage expansion, extended batteries, no need for iTunes, etc, etc.)

I don't mind the Jobs festival really. The iPhone generation is free to admire and praise the guy [....SPAM LINKS REMOVED AND USER BANNED....] all day long. Build as many statues as you like. But at least know that art isn't measured through functions and aesthetics alone, but mostly through ideas.

Oh well shit happens! I bought a iphone ! My daughter said she loved her's , so I asked her how many apples you own and she say's ah whole basket ! LMAO, but she did say they like them. And now that I am paying up the whazoo (ass) what the hey, Getter Done ! and be happy , till someone ruffles your feathers ! Then let's parley ! And that there little spammer your first on my list

I was disappointed with the last iPhone somewhat. As a result, I'm waiting for the iPhone 5 to come out this year. I REALLY hate to wait, but I'd rather not settle. Speaking of Apple, this post is currently being typed on an iPad. I've played around with it before but now it appears that I'd like to own one. Anybody out there own one? If so, any thoughts/feedback?

I thank you for your info. I am limited to my posts , as to 600 min. ! I have the iphone 4 not the s and after putting on the heavy cover to protect it , and then listen to this LMAO it is a 4g with 8 whatever , I get 3 g , thank you very much ! LMAO guess I have to many buffalo out here ! My daughter said I should get one ! I looked at Samgsung (which I like Motorilla which I very well like ! But thought at my age what the hell.

Thank you for your advice !

Honestly, I'm not a fan of Apple. I do have an ipod and we do have an ipad around the house, but i'd much rather an android tablet.

Thank you, my friend. Apples, Oranges, I prefer Grapes ya can smashem up and make wine ! Ya buy one of these here electronic MF's and in a heartbeat they are out of style. I like tablets but the ones for pain. But heard about android's , shit , fire and save the match's ya might have to keep a young lady warm with a nice fire , always carry a bottle of wine ! Schnapp's, sorry fell off the track ! OH WELL !

I love my iphone 4. It has been alot of fun so far. And it sure is user friendly. A lot of my freinds with androids do say that it costs more for the iphone and apps. ? Also do you folks feel the androids are for techy's ?

I have a Motorola Android (Atrix 4G) myself and couldn't be happier, I love that Android's let you customize everything about the phone. I also love how all the Google services I use are seamlessly integrated into the phone for easier use.

Thank you , they don't sell them up at AARP ! iphone , but it is good for me to get use to! I am just a old race horse coming out of the gate. So being that iphone is user friendly is one up for me LMAO ! My daughter said , if mom can understand it (that is my X) you ought to be a genius !

They call those at my age shits and giggles ! Could happen at the same time ! But who cares ! Don't laugh youngens if you are smart enough to get my age, same shit could happen to you ya just remember Frosty told ya so

WOW, I pulled up Google earth on my iphone 4 and what a trip. You put something on search here and it draws it right in , the old dog found a new trick ! With the Globe, you can do a search and bring where you live right down to the area . Totally sweet.
