Not everyone is stirred up. I can truthfully say i'm not. I was so far behind
getting a new phone it wasn't funny so I had to do something sensible.
Getting a new larger screen iPhone so far doesn't make sense unless
the price is very very cheap.....;)

For some us that were able to get rid of BlackBerry's and have corporate email on our iPhone, a larger screen is important. I could put the corporate email on my iPad but there is no way that want to be one of those dorks that hold an iPad next to their ear to have a conversation...

The best thing about my I Phone 4S is the dual antenna that provides very clear reception it is almost as good as a land line. I will probably get the 5 so that my wife can have a updated phone (the 4S) but I am not stirred-up and will not wait on line to get it.

Why is a larger screen important? How will that help having it next your
ear while your having a conversation?:dunno:

I just said for email purposes. My emails frequently include spreadsheets.

I don't plan to stand in line. I plan to order it online on September 12th (unless I'm missing something?).

Md you take great photo's with digital cameras so you are not that old tech.

Thanks for the kind words, B...
And I agree: I am not low tech, though no techie in some aspects.

My computers are new/newish and powerful, I love cams, and I would give up TV before I gave up the net, etc.

I had a car phone from '82 on, a cell phone from '85 on, (the StarTrek looking box from Motorola), etc. I have a pos 4+ yr old non-smart phone that I use maybe a couple dozen times a year to make sure it works.

Not anti-smart phone and I will probably get one someday. But, I haven't worked since May 2000, and I don't need to walk around texting or watching movies, lmao!, or playing scrabble on the phone, or calling theCEO every 5 mins to tell her I am in Walmart. Just different needs...if I was still carrying the bag, flying the world, yes...but I am just a retired bum and have no woody for the 'next' smart phone.

Did I say it didn't make sense to upgrade? I may have to eat my words.
Apple buys back used iPhone 4S models | Macworld

$345 for a white 64 GB phone. That payout won’t be in cash, however: You’ll get a gift card that can be used to buy products
—perhaps even the next iPhone model—at both your local and online Apple Stores. The "perhaps" part is the sticking point for me. We'll see......:dunno:
