Just heard iPhone 5 is coming out... You think they'll make it to 10 before they make an entirely new device? By the way, how many iPads do you think they'll make?

Don't think I'll ever get one. I can't justify the cost plus I hate touch screens. But I think they'll make an infinite number of versions- money money money.

I still see no justification for spending that much money on a phone.

Ain't happening. I am not inclined to purchase anything from Apple and I absolutely detest touch screens.

I don't think I'll be getting an Apple product anytime soon. Don't get me wrong, they're nice enough products but it's something I wouldn't buy for myself. Between the headache of trying to load your own stuff on them, and having them coming up with new versions of their merchandise almost every year, It seems as if you're playing a neverending game of Keeping Up with The Joneses. I'll stick with my Droid X. It hasn't let me down yet.

everybody i know that owns one only does as a fashion statement. it would seem silly to throw away my self respect for a couple "oohs" and several "ahhs" every time i found a pointless reason to pull it out of my pocket.

I don't feel like paying around $920 to upgrade to a smart phone.

My mind can't fathom paying 100 bucks a month for a phone. Therefore, NO.

I currently have an iPhone 3 that's almost two years old. I'll probably get a new version for free when I renew my contract this year.

Plane on upgrading to an Android

Looking into the LG 3d phone, and if the rumors are true an Evo 3D version for At&t

^I'm in a pretty cheap family deal and swicthing to Sprint for the awesomely powerful HTCEVO 3D would cost so much more in the long run :cry:

Pleas come to At&t too:cry::cry:

Unless apple improves the multitasking capabilities I'm not really interested. I know that may sound odd coming from a satisfied iPad owner, but my smartphone requirements are very different from my tablet requirements.

Indeed. And Apple only releases one smartphone a year. Some of the manufacturers push out four or five at least.

I doubt I will get one. Maybe if they become far cheaper by the time I have kids, I might get one. Oh, and interesting tidbit I learned, if you're on a contract and have an iphone 3/4/whatever when the new one comes out, just take it back to where you got it and say it won't hold a charge. Since the battery isn't removable, they have to give you a new phone. Auto upgrade.

Provided that netflix works well enough, I'll get a droid in about two years. Less than half as expensive as buying everything (tv, newspaper, internet, cable, etc) separately.

Wouldn't that be awful on a 4 inch screen? I couldn't imagine watching something for an extended period of time on a screen that small.

I'll never get one. I'm already not a huge fan of touch screens, but my friend -- an iPhone owner -- asking me to text for him while he's driving reaffirmed me that I will never get one.

But then you still need a separate TV. And if by "Internet" you mean wireless data, I wouldn't rely on that either. Not with the trend of carriers adding caps and throttling.

And a Ps3 or $100 BD player will do it anyway..................i don't like watching stuff or reading things on my phone either.

I bought the first Iphone, then when the 2nd gen was released I sold it on Ebay for more than I paid for it and upgraded. I did this up to the 3GS and have now moved on to android where I will remain. When it's all said and done, I didn't pay anything for the Iphones I've had and actually made money on them.

I really dig the iPhone, but I don't care enough to get one right now. Maybe whenever I'm doing more stuff that requires me to have different apps, but at this moment in time I'd just be using it for pointless stuff and nothing else. That's not really worth my money.

They are doing that here too. I hope that changes in a few years, or have a unlimited dataplan option that doesn't cost to much.

When the bills for smartphones are cut in half, at least. I'll be happy with my flip-phone until then. If it can call and make texts it's good enough for me.
