I would say, grab the iphone 5 anyways, it'll cost roughly the same in the end on contract. Then just flip it and buy yourself a 4s on cl.

i agree. i'm sure you could flip for a bit of profit from selling the iphone 5, and then buy an iphone 4s off craigslist since everyone will be trying to dump the 4s, the price should be fairly low

The thing is I'm not the type of person to flip a phone for $50 I don't have time to waste and don't really care. I just want something that will work perfect for me.

Just get it. Sounds like your minds made up. I agree, I wouldn't go through the hassle, and possibly flipping to get an out of warranty phone, just to save some coin.

Only recommendation I have, is wait until xmas season. Will probably be a lot cheaper

Wanna put in my personal opinion. Now I'm an iPhone user but by far not an apple supporter. There are lots of things I hate about apple.

I was an iPhone 1 & 4 user until I got bored and watched videos on why an android phone is better and was INSTANTLY sold. Like everyone, i wanted widgets, live wallpapers and a bogger screen. I went on cl and bought a nexus.

I found that as nice as widgets look on the home screen, I don't find them that useful. Other than really simple information ones like weather or to do list, if you wanna see something (like fb updates or tweets) you're gonna open the app. Why view the widget on the home screen and read one update at a time when you can easily scroll through them all in the app?

I never used live wallpaper because of battery.

And as beautiful a larger screen is, it's not very convenient when it comes to one hand typing which I do a lot. Also I like to watch videos when I lay in bed and viewing them on a larger screen when laying on my tummy is a little awkward since my eyes and head hav to tilt further back. (this last one may be a bit nitpicking and more specific to me though)

Some other complaints only apply depending on which android phone u get since they have their own skins on top. (ie. I find apples notification system to be better)

If you want straight up simple then the iPhone is just that. It'll do everything you need for sure and you'll find the app store to be awesome.

I like androids open system though. You can download apps that actually tweak your phones OS (ie. swiftkey that changes the default keyboard). I also loved how it has the freedom of a pc. I can download songs and movies right onto it whether from a website or torrent. Apples closed system is annoying.

Oh nd one big feature I really love about android is the sharing feature. You can share anything from any app to ANY other app while on iPhone you can only use the selected ones that are integrated into the system.

Anyways I will be getting the iPhone 5 because it suits my needs more than the android.

So I jumped out of my truck today and my torch fell out of my pocket and the screen went black :(

So I sucked it up and went to best buy in Langley and picked up a 64gb iPhone 5 in white. Gotta say this phone is pretty rad
