iPhone 5 confirmed for September?
I'm skeptical of the reports, really. Bloomberg couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery and the supposed China Mobile leaks are a little fishy.
When I see solid info, I'll be more inclined to believe.

Seriously, all these discussions are useless without pics...

Well, if the rumours are true then all the better. I have a replacement iPhone 4 that should arrive tomorrow morning. So if for some reason they do refresh the hardware I'll be able to sell my iPhone 4 nearly brand new with everything in pristine condition and I'm positive it'll cover the cost of the upgrade.
And if not? Brand new iPhone 4. Schwing.
Thanks, AppleCare. :D

I got my iPhone 3G back today, restored it back to 3.1.2 (man how things were so easy back then) and played around with it for about 30mins ...
Never realize how slow it is, until today. To think how many ppl refuse to upgrade their hardware and they're still the ones who refuse to add a data plan ... really makes me wonder. A few ppl I know still have this 3G since 2008.
I do miss this thing though.

40% of European smartphone buyers intend to buy an iPhone next
Yankee Group is set to release its European Mobile User Study next month and the research firm has just provided a quick glimpse into its early findings. Reportedly, 40% of European smartphone buyers plan to purchase an iPhone as their next device. 19% plan to purchase an Android powered device, 17% have their eye on a BlackBerry, and 15% plan to buy a Nokia smartphone. “These findings highlight the continued strength of Apple in the European smartphone market and, in particular, its phenomenal brand appeal,” Yankee Group research vice president, Declan Lonergan, said. “The data also highlights the enormous challenges faced by Nokia and RIM to retain mind share and market share in this increasingly dynamic and competitive marketplace.” In addition, the firm found that employees argued they are 58% more productive while on long-distance travel trips when they have a tablet in tow. Yankee Group also argues that consumerization is taking over the workplace and that four times more employees are now using tools designed for the consumer market for work purposes — with IT’s approval, of course. The survey involved 5,000 consumers, 2,250 employees and “IT decision makers” in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Read on for the full press release.
Yankee Group Unveils New European Mobile User Study
New survey offering finds 40 percent of smartphone buyers plan to choose an iPhone.
London, U.K. Jun 22, 2011 – Yankee Group today announced the 2011 European Mobile User Study, which is designed to help both European and global firms make better product, pricing and segmentation decisions. The new study polls 5,000 consumers and 2,250 employees and IT decision-makers across five European countries: France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the U.K.
Available in July, this new survey offering provides key insights into European mobile user behavior, attitudes and purchase plans. For example, it finds 40 percent of consumers who intend to buy a smartphone as their next mobile device will choose an iPhone. Android-based devices come in second (19 percent), followed by BlackBerry (17 percent) and Nokia (15 percent).
“These findings highlight the continued strength of Apple in the European smartphone market and, in particular, its phenomenal brand appeal,” said Declan Lonergan, research VP at Yankee Group. “The data also highlights the enormous challenges faced by Nokia and RIM to retain mind share and market share in this increasingly dynamic and competitive marketplace.”
Other study findings include:
•Consumerization is taking over the enterprise. Four times more employees use consumer tools for work purposes with IT’s explicit approval.
•New devices spur productivity. Employees say they are 58 percent more productive during long-distance travel when they have a tablet.
•Mobile users are multi-device-savvy. Most users have more than one device and they access the same services and content via the screen best suited for the time and place.
In addition to the new study, Yankee Group also announced that Simon Rodd is joining the firm as portfolio manager within the company’s European sales team (see accompanying release).

i know there is an android thread, but this thread gets more eyes...I'm thinking about getting a Nexus S. Anyone have any suggestions/comments/criticisms? Should I wait and get the Nexus S 4G? Telus has a pretty crazy deal right now for a Nexus S for only 50 bucks with a 3 year contract. Normally it would be $250 with a 3 year deal. Offer expires June 30th, I'm extremely tempted and this would be my first smartphone. SPILL IT GEEKS!

Made the plunge into iOS5 and I'd have to say that it is motherin' SLICK.
