New iPhone 4S

Anyone getting one?

I currently have a 4 and love it. I had the 3G before that one and loved that too. I can't see a huge difference between the 4 and 4S but I still want one!!

It'll cost me about £240 by the time I've sold mine, so the question is would I rather buy a new phone that isn't much different, or jack up the disco and go playing off road...

Jack up the disco and get iPhone 5 when it comes out.

Have you updated to ios5?

What he said! ^^

I got the iOS5 last night! Although it bricked my iphone4 for the privalidge! Took me 2 hours to download the update, then it installed on my phone, reset and then it went through a setup process as if it was a new phone, so went through all that and then it said to plug into my itunes to restore all my contacts etc but it did NOTHING!!!
Luckily the roll-back feature solved it, tried it all again and it worked! Bit of a pain though!!

Anyway I like the new iOS5, couple of new apps could be good (liking the news stand app where i can read mags on the go) and a bit of a freshen up to some other areas! Smile

Also it's added facetime at last to my iphone4 as it didn't seem to have it before, not that I imagine I'll ever use it! Laughing

yeah my phone just went black with errors coming up on itunes - I was s***ting it as my phone is 1 year and 1 month old and thought I'd just created a very expensive paper weight!

Eventually sorted itself out, although the back button feature on safari doesn't work properly. I heard iOS5.1 is on the way soon - looks like apple pushed this one out and are fixing everything with an update

I think I'll leave iOS5 for a month or so because I can't be bothered waiting so long for it to download! It's always busy for the first few weeks after release.

I haven't even updated my phone since buying it, and I got it on the launch day! Laughing

I think I am going to leave the 4S though after thinking about it. I don't think I would even use Siri which is the main advantage anyway.
