My 4S has unlimited Internet, and 300 flexiunits (3 texts = 1 flexiunit, 1 min = 1 flexiunit)
€40 a month over the 2 years and the phone was free.
I think it works out as €960 over the two years, and it's cheaper then buying the phone up front and putting €20 a month into it. Think it works out as €1000 or so. Also no massive €500 up front fee for the phone either

So I'm gonna get an iPhone5 after all, I think. I really wanted the Note 2's hardware, but I just have too much invested in Apple's ecosystem, and most importantly, 90% of the people I know have iPhones and I don't want to lose the ability to iMessage them, which would mean I'd have to spend more on a text plan if I switched to Android.
Looks like I'll be in line at the store on Friday morning.

Its not the size but what you do with it that counts.
Someone had to.
I like the idea of a large screen, but some phones are so big it's crazy, I saw a kid yesterday and he had a huge phone (not sure what phone) and it reminded my of Dom Joly on Trigger Happy TV.

That's absolutely mental.
My brother just shelled out £50 upfront and is paying £32 a month for his 16GB 4S over 2 years, making his total cost £818.
My 32GB One X is £28 a month (for more data and minutes) with £100 upfront making mine £772.
I've been laughing at him since last week about it, even though I did warn him to wait until the 5 came out to upgrade...

Phone plans around the world confuse me. I pay $50 a month for unlimited talk, text and "unlimited" data, and this is before my 22% discount through work. Unfortunately I have to stay with AT&T for the iPhone 5 for couple of reasons, even though I hate their company. Sprint does not have 4G in my area, nor will they for a long time, the coverage map shows that I'd be connected to an off-network tower when I'm near my house which means the data is limited (I think that's how it reads), and it would be $100 a month to get the same sort of plan I have now. I think I can almost stand AT&T for saving more than 50% on a phone bill.
Oh and people who get new Verizon plans have no concept of money.

So... other manufacturers make better products that cost less but you have to keep going with Apple because you've swallowed the hook, the line and the sinker already. I think you've just perfectly explained the business model Apple is relying on - it doesn't really matter what they make, people are basically forced to buy it anyway.

If I was to buy an iPhone 5 (which I'm really considering) I'd get the Orange £36p/m which has unlimited calls and texts along with 1GB of data and unlimited BT openzone wifi then a £110 or £220 handset charge dependent on a choice of the 16GB or 32GB respectively.
With the option of moving to 4G when its launched in the UK (although my city is just outside the initial coverage area at the moment....)

I feel that the apple OS is much more responsive than the Android(even 4). Also, i feel iPhone's look better. My friend changed his iPhone 4 to a S3 on it's release. He is regretting quite a lot, especially now the 5 is out.Greycap

I agree. At a quick tally up I must have spent about £170 on apps and £250 on music through iTunes! I'm not going to waste all that money just to change my phone's to something which isn't as good.

^ If you're getting an iPhone 4, the choice between and upgrade in phones and a new gaming system seems pretty clear to me.

After telling my wife some of the things that were changed for the 5, I asked her if she wanted to trade in her 4S. The look on her face was something along these lines -
while asking "What for?" Granted she's one of those "as long as it works when she needs it to, she likes it" people, not a must have the bleeding edge of tech people.

My sister's gonna let me keep her iPhone 4 when she gets the iPhone 5
I'm gonna be saving up for the latest one though...well, I can't decide between the xBox 360 and the latest iPhone...
How about both?
Wait until she gives it to you, buy the iPhone 5 and then sell the iPhone 4 and buy an Xbox.
