I have 2 upgrades available now and a 3rd upgrade available next month. I currently have a BlackBerry Torch 9810 and I'm anxious to see if the iPhone 5 is worth all the hype. If it is, I may jump ship and join the iPhone crowd for the first time. My IT guy is going to get the iPhone5, so I'll have a chance to check his out. But then I may hang on to my upgrade just to see what BlackBerry 10 is all about. With it running QNX (which they claim is going to be a game changer...we'll see ), it will take until Q1 until I know for sure. I think I can hold on that long as I don't need to use my upgrade. Too bad we can?t sell our upgrades to the highest bidder!

Either way, exciting times for us consumers!!! Lots of choices right now!

that's an interesting one. why arent you upgrading to the iphone 5?

I have a lot of $$$ tied up in cases and docking stations including custom ones from Kickstarter and about 50 cables around the house for iPhone / iPad / iPod... I can't see what the new iPhone 5 has that "I" would need that is not on the iPhone 4S.

All the changes I want or need is in iOS 6 and have been working fine in Beta and seems solid on the GM I installed today. I am good until the next iPhone (6?)

No upgrade unfortunately... so debating dumping at&t and paying etf (been with them a year) and going vzw, or sticking it out with at&t...

both suck, but the real only choices where i'm at...

vz LTE way further ahead, and some LTE areas a lot closer to me, to where i travel to periodically, whereas i doubt at&t will have any lte anywhere near me anytime soon... so right now, at&t is faster with hspa, whereas i'd be on vzw 3G for a while (area supposed to go LTE by year's end... not holding my breath)....

i'm wondering which device would have better resale down the road... the vzw/international model, of the at&t/canadian lte model... I could really go either at this point, since will cost me about the same (subsidized + 250 on at&t, or subsidize + at&t ETF on VZW)....

If you got the 4s on launch day you can still upgrade but will pay $250 + the price of an early upgrade phone so $250 + $199 16gb ip5 = $450 plus tax

I dont have an upgrade. But Ill open another line to get it. Sell the 4S and pay off the ETF once I take that 5 and switch it on my line with Unlimited Data through Verizon. LTE WOOT!
