For an android with similar features, the cost is the same, $200 with a contract. It is a major upgrade from my current 3gs, if I had a 4s, I would not buy it, that is barely an upgrade, and I would then be a sheep, baaaa

i can not renew my contract with verizon, i am grandfathered in with the unlimited data. So if i want a new phone i have to buy one off ebay or craigslist or something.

Personally, I don't need a huge phone. My Droid right now is an 8GB and I'm doing fine. I hate the swipe test model. I have it on my Droid now and it's just annoying. I use the multi-touch instead. Once again SD support is really necessary.

The only thing 5 doesn't have that would be nice is the electronic wallet feature, allowing you to swipe the phone to send payments. But it can still swipe with other iphones to transfer data (such as images) to a friend. That's pretty nice.

Please note:

If you have Verzion you WILL lose your unlimited data plan unless you purchase the phone outright. (iPhone 5 only)

If you have AT&T you will KEEP your unlimited data BUT you will not be able to do FaceTime over cellular and enable Personal HotSpot.

Not sure how much data I use, vs the new 'family plan' (2GB/month) Verizon has to offer.

Reviews are in!

CNET:
- "The screen size lengthening is subtle: but, like the Retina Display, you're going to have a hard time going back once you've used it."
- "LTE, in my tests, ran anywhere from 10 to 20 [Mbps], which is up to twice as fast as my wireless router's connection at home."
- "Still pictures taken while recording video aren't shot using the normal 8-megapixel Web cam; they're screen captures of the video itself. The aspect ratio is different, and the image quality's a bit weaker."
- "callers I reached via speakerphone noticed a crisper, clearer call on the iPhone 5 versus the iPhone 4S."
- "The phone's lasted roughly the whole day each day, unplugging around 8 a.m. and engaging in a mix of calling, web surfing, video playback, downloading, game playing, FaceTime calling over Wi-Fi and LTE, and even a little 4G LTE hot spot use via my MacBook Air."

The Loop:
- "If you told me that I would be able to see another few rows of emails or more of a Web page, I don’t know that I would see the importance, but when you look at the iPhone 5, it’s more than that. You have to see it to get an idea of what can be done."

The New York Times:
- "The new phone, in all black or white, is beautiful. Especially the black one, whose gleaming, black-on-black, glass-and-aluminum body carries the design cues of a Stealth bomber."
- "The camera is among the best ever put into a phone. Its lowlight shots blow away the same efforts from an iPhone 4S."
- "It’s just too bad about that connector change. Doesn’t Apple worry about losing customer loyalty and sales?"

Engadget:
- " At 112 grams it's 20 percent lighter than the 4S, a figure that doesn't seem like it would make much of an impact. It does -- so much so that it's the lightness, not the bigger display or the thinness, that nearly everybody praises when first getting a chance to hold the iPhone 5 in their own hands."
- "the Lightning connector is infinitely easier to connect. It slots in nicely and does so regardless of orientation, plugging in right-side-up or upside-down."
- "More problematic is the speed of this new connector. " -- Based on USB 2.0, so no faster than existing connector/cable.
- Taking photo speed is much improved.
- "On our standard battery rundown test, in which we loop a video with LTE and WiFi enabled and social accounts pinging at regular intervals, the iPhone 5 managed a hugely impressive 11 hours and 15 minutes."
- "In general, iOS 6 has seen some nice nips and tucks where it needed it. iCloud integration is tighter, Safari is better and the overall experience is more polished. But, it isn't a major step forward in any regard. "

WSJ:
- "I found the new iPhone screen much easier to hold and manipulate than its larger rivals and preferred it. In my view, Apple’s approach makes the phone far more comfortable to use, especially one-handed."
- "The iPhone 5′s battery lasted between 9 and 12 hours every day, in mixed use. For most people, the phone would last the day without recharging."
- "The biggest drawback I found is the new Maps app. Apple has replaced Google Maps with a new maps app of its own.

T3:
- "Don’t get us wrong, it’s a miracle how Apple has shed so much excess podge and millions of people will love the lightweight design, but we preferred the more robust, weapon-like nature of the 4S."
- "Given that iPhone 4S users can upgrade to iOS 6 and do just about everything the iPhone 5 can do, and that Android users can get similarly impressive handsets for less dosh, we reckon the smart money won’t all be going on a new iPhone this year, even if the mass market can’t get enough of it. It’s good, very good. But it’s no longer the best around."

Awesome reviews.

My 3Gs screen finally went black after well over 3 years a few month ago.
I picked up a nokia lumia 900 Windows 7.5 I think.
I'm just as happy with it as my old iPhone.

Supports: CALLS of course!, visual type voicemail, SMS, MMS, multiple email accts, surf, youtube, play music, pics, videos, downloadable apps, weather, wireless hotspot for laptop. That's all I use it for, I'm just as happy with it as the iphone that never gave me any issues - I will say the displays on the iphones are really nice!
