expected to be announced in the hour, who is thinking of getting one?

Planned obsolescence, deliberate incompatibilities, ecological scandal, economy growth, self-sustaining self-cannibalizing global system, ideology of productivity, either asphyxiate the planet unter its own trash through artificial needs or die famished because the economy is paralyzed.

Of course I'm getting one. My iphone 4.9 is so last hour. I can't live without an iphone 5.

[BBOOOOOOMMM]

Oh thank you, another sarcasm detector went up in smokes. This one registered "fuckton" on the... wait, you did that on purpose, didn't you?

Haven't turned on my personal Nokia 1290 since two years ago; haven't turned on my Blackberry since January this year; so the answer is.... most probably : no.

I'm going with the "just the same" as the courts put it. Just cheaper, with more functionality and quality. (Samsung)

I'm happy with my Galaxy S2 (updated to ICS 4.0.4) so no.

*soon to be illegal, awesome renegade smartphone brofist*

Nah. Perfectly happy with my LG Optimus 7, and if I upgrade, it would be to a WP8 Lumia device.

*brofist*
I should hurry and get and S3 before they ban them. Damn Apple.

I can't wait for iPhone 8. Only 1 year to go!

They can take my life, but they will never take my S.... THREEEEEEE!

In the unlikely event that it'll have a hardware keyboard and/or an open enough OS that I do not feel locked-down while using it, I'll consider buying it.

In other words: No, I'm happy with my Xperia Pro. I'm using one of work's iPads, and though the ~320 DPI display is nice I wouldn't pay for an Apple iDevice other than the iPod Classic (whenever I decide to upgrade my 2-3 generations old 80GB iPod).

Ive had the last couple of Iphones and unless this is really special im thinking I might just skip it...

Why the name is iPhone 5? Because it adds a fifth row of static icons. Innovation right there!

Compared to what Nokia announced a week ago, together with the final WP8 build that should be officially announced in October during the Build event, this doesn't stand a chance.

Too bad it will sell billions and billions of units, because apparently, using an iDevice makes you look cool on your first date (some survey stuff on Neowin). -_-

You seem to have a somewhat skewed view on apple market share it seems.
