Same as iPhone 4S was.

16GB for $199, 32GB for $299, $399 for 64GB (US pricing)

[silentsim]

Same price as the 4S when it was released.

I will be buying it unlocked on the 14th for preorder

Decent phone, but IMO outside of the update to the A6 chip there is no real reason to upgrade if you have a 4S.

LTE coverage is still spotty enough that if you have the 4S you may be better off waiting till the next iteration to get LTE and the improvements that come with it. By that time the LTE build out will be further along and will be more useful.

So my next question will be will Fido have another deal like last time where you could get the phone and extend your current contract if you were in the last year of your contract.

I am sure they did it for a reason, and we won't know till we can try the phone for ourselves.

obviously, there is an optimum size of phone. Everyone realizes that, at some point, it's not an advantage for a phone to be bigger than it's competitors.

I think the size of the iPhone is about right. S2/S3 looks too big, but neither have I really used one.

Probably. They always have HUP- I am sure they will have an early HUP offer, but who knows
. As of now its 30 months I think, with each month before being 15$.

Great idea and concept but does it really save any time. In my opinion it is easier just to go to my app to see the score for the game then to have to launch Siri then proceed to ask her about the score.

I know I'm not the majority, but I use it constantly. Setting timers while cooking, setting reminders, meetings, asking for my weekly schedule... I use it all the time.

So I read back a few pages but most of the useful information is scattered in an apple vs. the world debate.

Are there any ground changing features and have they said when it will be available?

Sept 21 release. Sept 14 preorders

I have a 3GS with Rogers and have been waiting for the iPhone 5 to upgrade. Do I buy the hardware directly from Apple (either online or at the Apple store), or do I contact Rogers?

If I remember weren't pre-orders kind of useless last time around?
