Another f#$&ing Apple discussion; Verizon iphone

[shilala]

If you'll enjoy it, why would you wait? Especially based on putting it off because something "might" happen later this summer?
Just order the damned thing and enjoy it. Regardless of what it is or isn't, there's gonna be a new one in a year.

I am enjoying my third iPhone 4 as I await the 5.

Oh, and as far as the 5 coming this summer to Verizon, there is a better chance of catching a fart in a windstorm and painting it green.

I had a cousin of mine who did that once but he painted it blue instead

Just looked at the Verizon site and it looks like you will be paying the $199 with a 2 year contract. You'll be hard pressed to find a hot Smart Phone for free.

I figured that out after posting, however my current phone can trade in for $32. Considering I only paid $50 for 2 of this phone I feel that is fair. Looks like if I wait till October I get additional discounts as well. The cheap bastard side of me will probably make me wait

My LG Dare has been appraised for $4.00! Jackpot!

I would call and see if you have any additional incentives. VZW called me last week trying to get me to upgrade my phone as I just got my wife a new phone for Christmas. I was thinking about getting the Droid 2 but wanted to see what this new Bionic will look like before jumping the gun which after checking it out I am no longer interested as it is a touch screen keyboard. I am technically not available for an upgrade for some time but for some reason I am now eligible for an early upgrade and will get the promo pricing along with two $50 rebates. I still held off although now I am regretting getting my wife a new phone as the Driod 2 is available as a BOGO (Buy One get One Free).

Because I've waited over 2 years...what's a few more months. At least that is what I'm trying to tell myself.

In my way of thinking, the CDMA iPhone 4 is brand new. If it comes out in a couple weeks or whatever, it'll be a year or better until the CDMA iPhone 5 comes out.
At least that makes sense, as all the resources are going to be tied up banging out the GSM iPhone 5, and it's the way Apple has upgraded every device in the past. It simply doesn't make sense that they'd release the 4, then the 5 in six months. Not from a business standpoint, or a manufacturing standpoint, or any standpoint, and it's not how they've done things in the past.

If I were employing a strategy based on my plan, which allows an upgrade every 18 months (or whatever), I'd want to get my phone immediately. That way I'd be only 6 months waiting for the iPhone 6, and my plan would already be ready, know what I mean?
If you wait 8 months, you'll end up having to wait for not only the 5 (and it may not show up), but if you go ahead and finally get the 4 cause you're tired of waiting, you'll get screwed when the 6 comes out.
That all goes right back to "no better time than the present", and "you might be dead tomorrow". Add to that "You're never going to out-think The Man", and that's some real strong arguments to get it now.
One more thing...
If you don't do it now, and you change your mind a month from now, the waiting list will likely be months and months, and you won't get anything.

I promise you, you'll be happy if you get the phone now. They are simply awesome, and just plain fun. Will you be more happy and have more fun if you wait till later? I have no way of knowing, plus you might be dead.
What I can say is that I just got the 4, and it's no more fun than the 3gs I just got rid of, and it's supposed to be a phenomenal advancement. *shrug*
