AT&T Rep Originally Told Me Delivery Was 10/1. Called Them Last Week & They Said Shipment 10/6 Or 10/12.

I had an intersting experience today.

I am due for an upgrade on Nov 20 and stopped by the ATT store to see if there was any flexibility on early upgrade and how long they anticipate stock to be in store.

The ATT store in my area is doing a sales blitz on the new ATT U-Verse home internet and apparantly they are motivated.

I had no intention of subscribing, but the guy explained that if I did, he would order my iPhone 5 TODAY and I should have it in 2-3 weeks.

They didn't hold any payment for the U-Verse and it was in the contract that I can cancel any time before installation with no fee and the phone will still be shipped.

After looking at the fiber optic cable speeds and savings over my bundled Brighthouse package, I may actually go with the U-Verse, but at least have a phone on the way.

I am in sales and extremely skeptical, but went over the contract with a microscope and it was definitely legitimate in the cancellation policy.

Verizon users, Apple rolled out an update for Verizon-specific iPhone 5's. Apparently there was something going on with data being used when it should not be. Take a peak and get it fixed.

Got my phone yesterday. So far no complaints here. What a world of difference from the 3GS.

I have the 4 and was looking at the 5 but don't like the idea of having to replace all my current apple charges........is there a big difference between the 4 & 4S

In my opinion, not enough changes worth upgrading for.

By all means, if you're happy with what you have, leave well enough alone.

Is this because your carrier will charge you for additional services as part of the upgrade?

$19 adaptor will fix that problem. There probably are a few aftermarket ones available on eBay or amazon that are even cheaper. I agree that Apple shouldn't have done this, but to me it wouldn't deter me from the 5. I am definitely not implying that you are one of these people but alot of the people that are complaining about the new charging/syncing port are just haters who want to bash Apple. I've had the iPhone since the first one, so I have collected a lot of chargers. My question is, how often have you upgraded any cell phone and NOT had to buy new chargers?

btw, this link will help you compare iPhones

Considering pretty much every other smart phone thats been available for years charges off a microUSB cable, only iPhone people are having to buy new chargers... Europe has standardized on micro USB, so I'm curious to see what they say\do about Apple.

Same way they complied with it for the 30-pin connector, they have a lightning/microUSB adapter.

The EU standard has been in place for 2-3 years, and I'd say the trend towards a microUSB standard is around 4-5 years old. The old 30-pin connector, as I think I may have mentioned earlier in this thread, is around 10 years old.

I do not know why Apple didn't chose to switch to microUSB, but the switch to something was going to happen regardless, and people would have needed to buy new chargers either way. A smaller connector was needed to clear up room inside the phone and not make it bigger.

Unless you only need one charger and don't have any accessories like an iHome or something, Then you don't need to buy anything extra.

The only differences that I know of between the 4 and the 4S is the addition of Siri and a higher mega-pixel camera...
