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

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

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
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.

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

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......

I don't understand those prices though. For example, "Assuming your iPhone 4S is in good condition, Apple will pay you anywhere from $285 for a basic 16 GB model up to $345 for a white 64 GB phone." That seems to be a lot...

My daughter "needed" an iPhone for high school. I bought her a new iPhone 4S 16GB through AT&T and it cost $199 (obviously with 2-yr commitment). I'm expecting Apple, AT&T and others to reduce prices on the new 4S's when the iPhone 5 comes out too.

Looks taller but no wider. How does it compare in size to other large smart phones

Diagonal screen is 4". width is same. Don't know about other smartphones as their sizes range from one extreme to other, but here is a comparo shot with iPhone 4 and 3G



Rear shell pic of white iPhone 5. This could be a test mule as it has black strips at top and bottom. The earlier shots were all white.
