We're 1.5 hours into today's event, and still no mention of Sprint picking up the iPhone. Perhaps that's today's "one more thing"?
for you sprint guys...

They still have to announce the price and GB's, as well as network exclusivity. I'm leaning towards AT&T since that's what the previous screenshot was earlier.

So basically, if they just called this phone the "iPhone 5" people would be happy? lmao

A redesign. The guts are fine, I wanted perhaps a larger screen, smaller bezel, thinner phone, etc.

That said, eHRPD is an insanely technical thing which sometimes doesn't even appear on spec sheets, so we're just going to have to ask.

The best thing about the 4S is how low it's driving prices down to the other iPhones.

They made the 3G free? If they want to LOSE customers they'll do this. The 3GS has AWFUL performance on iOS4.

I can agree with this.

As it is though, the iPhone 4S will be a very solid upgrade, even if it's for the camera.

I probably won't upgrade though, not until the 5. I'll just download iOS 5 and move on with my iPhone 4.

How so? Again, I stated facts. And I find it funny if a person is a fan of Apple they're a "sheep"... SMH.

Stop being such an idiot and trying to make snide comments when your insults are lame as fuck to begin with.

Yeah, it was. Didn't live up to the hype. It felt like the 3GS announcement, honestly.

Most of the good upgrades come in iOS 5, so no real need to upgrade. I do hope the "Siri" thing is available on the iPhone 4, but if not, no biggie.

I am not going to get new iphone, I'll just stick with my evo for another year. I'm not eligible for an upgrade anyway so there is no way in hell I'm paying full price for the 4S.

I did not try cm7 but I might have to give it a shot if I'm stuck with the phone for another year.

Haven't you had the Evo for a year, or did Sprint get rid of their "Premium customer upgrade" deal?

Once you get ClockworkMod Recovery on your phone you can make a backup of your phone as-is, that way if you don't like CM7 you can just restore it back to the way it was before. I never mentioned that before and I should've

The more I looked at it you had to have a plan that was way more than what our plan was. Which is stupid because we have the unlimited everything family plan. What the fuck else do I need?
