Has the same phone for two years, when I upgraded the screen would go berserk starting apps and such.

I think it needs a new battery. I don't think i've charged it in 2 years and can't get it past 5% now.

Mine still charges fine, but with regular use it only ever lasted a few hours.

I wouldn't complain, I'd give anything if I could last for a few hours.

Production of iPhone 5s to start soon looks like. Anytime this stuff starts coming out it usually ends up being fairly accurate

Probably announced early to mid September. With deliveries starting a couple weeks later, as always.

Yeah, just impatient, finally getting back to the states and have to wait for a new phone. Even if I just get the 5 might as well wait until the 5S comes out and the price of the 5 drops.

When I switched to AT&T that phone was my goal, but walked out with the LG Optimus Pro G. I was disappointed with the notification LED behind the speaker grill where you could barely see it, small and non-removable battery, and for having 2 speakers and all the claims of a booming sound, I found it was no louder than every other phone out there.

I'm not a fan of LG due to their weak reception, but the screen popped on this one, large and removable 3140 mAh battery and a unique LED indicator. It's also pretty fast too. The screen size is bigger than what I wanted, but i'm actually liking it.

I'll have to look at some of the phones here and see what I think. My girlfriend is picking up the phone before I get back so won't have the chance to shop round when I get there. Will be nice to have a phone right away though.

There are several new phones coming out in the next few months. LG has the G2 which could be a twin to the next Nexus device. Motorola has a few mid range phones coming that are made in Texas, and a higher end phone that we're not hearing too much on yet. HTC also has the one mini and max to add. Lot's to choose from!

I know, just not looking to use a pay-as-you go before the new phones come out. Could possibly use my daughter's iPhone 4, since it will be unlocked, but I'm not wanting to wait, lol.

Just make sure the rattling of the trunk is louder than the actual stereo outside of the car!
