I'm buying in early December. So I can wait for the CRTC's (Canadian Radio & Television Commission...I think...they set the laws in communication in Canada...such as how companies can bill customers..major changes to be implemented as if Dec 2nd) new consumer-favored regulations to take effect.
I'm still holding out for an iPhone 6 with an almost 5" 1080p screen and rumoured iOS7 features. If they don't offer them then I guess I'm going Android.
Btw...I'm not trolling...I have been a fan of Apple hardware and software for decades. I just haven't been motivated to buy either an iPhone/iPad yet in their current versions.
Phablets? I like. Have my eye on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3...even with it's incremental change...I figure if you're going to get a smartphone might as well get one with the biggest screen available, with good call receive audio quality, multimedia display-ability (e.g. 1080p screen with a more less accurate color palette), acceptable built-in speakers, good digital still photo/HD video taking ability...One of the major reasons I never bought an iPhone from it's 3.5" screen to the current 4" iPhone 5. Too small still IMHO. To each his own.
Really like the S-pen for the Note. Too bad the iPhone can't do this yet. Act like a Wacom tablet. Perhaps Apple can also offer a phablet. A 6" 1080p. This would put them ahead of the Note 3 (rumored 5.7" screen). Why not buy into the phablet market too?
