I'm fine with my iPhone 4 at the moment. Can't upgrade until next year so I will have wait to get the new one.

It's about time they catch up with the Android phones out there. But I'll bet money they'll make it out like no other phone on the market has this stuff.

I just made the switch from that to a HTC android phone. They both have their pros and cons.......but I'm sticking with the android phone...for now.

I'll also add that I'd be shocked if it has 4G on it.

It's been said it will have HSPA+, but that's like fake 4G. I still holding out on the Nexus Prime which could be announced on the 11th.

I still have the same phone I had in high school, circa 2006. If I had money, I would definitely get one.

I just got an iPhone 4 so I don't see myself upgrading anytime soon, but I am looking forward to seeing what the iPhone 5 looks like and maybe getting an actual date for iOS 5.

I don't believe any of Sprint's claims that Unlimited data isn't going to be taken away once the iPhone arrives with them. I give them a month or two before they take it out.

There's been talks of Apple actually buying Sprint. Can you imagine? Paying 3x the price to make phone calls.

I really, really might have to consider getting this if it does end up being for Sprint. I love my wife's iPhone and I'm irritated that my Evo is kind of mediocre now  . |

I looked at the Galaxy, it seemed okay... Not worth me spending extra money on, though.
