It's not Europe. Go look at the hourly chart. Directly correlates with what was going on in the speech.

On a non-snarking note, I do think Siri is neat. But, again...is it enough to pay the $$$$$$ and the contract for, IMO, a nice-to-have...?

If you followed the rumors you guys would know there wasn't going to be a 5.

The rumored teardrop 5 was a prototype or possibly a decoy to sniff out leaks.

It's also done this in the past too with previous announcements.

Pay attention to what apps you can get and can do, not just the phone.

Well, don't you need a device right away then...?

Up to you dude. If you've got the $$$ for it, why not. However, if I'm an Apple fan, would I line up for the 4S...?

Objectively, I still think the upgrades are not enough for the new price, lining up, and etc. So...I'd just be fine with the 4.

If you have a iPhone 3G or none at all, then yea, you will want the 4S...it's pretty incredible.

However if you have a 3GS or 4....there really is not much reason to jump....especially if you have the 4.

They should have just called it the 5. The new internal specs/data speeds would have been enough to justify the name change.

Agreed. How do they push back a phone that externally looks the same? Was Siri that hard?

I've always preferred Android phones' hardware. But Apple gets the apps before anyone in most cases. Android of course kills it in customization.

Are you kidding? No contract price and 32GB for $250. Double your price.

GS2, IMO.

For the same price you get a more customizable phone, one of the best phone cameras ever made (will have to see how the new iOS 8m does though), expandable memory...

Oh yeah, NFC (eventually) in the GS2. But that might depend on which carrier.

You should get 299+ for your 32GB 4.

I sold my 32Gb 3GS for 320ish about a month after the 4 was in my hands already.
