That was my first thought. My parrot handsfree kit is useless at recognising what I want to say so I hope I can start handsfree calling using Siri.

Wish you all luck. I know how fun it is trying to get a pre order.
I just have no need to upgrade from the 4. Fyi, i got the iphone 4 on launch day by pre ordering though vodafones website. So i can vouch for their service. I did have to get up at 5 am to get my pre order down on their website though.

Don't know where they got that info from? Those prices just doesn't look right (especially for the 32GB iP4S) or is it me?

"wahayee mun i cannae mayke it sowah mayke it forruh sex" siri replies "fu** this s*** do it yourself!"

i really don't think there will be a mad rush for the 4S like there was for the 4,it looks the same,no major change of design like there was from the 3gs to the 4, so not as many people will make the change,i mean the 4 will run ios5 as good as the 4S,so why change,thats why there will not be the mad rush.....doesnt worry me I'm getting the Nexus Prime!!:D

FAO anyone on orange or planning to possibly go with orange.

you can get a 25% discount on a contract if you work for public sector OR even if you know an orange customer who works for public sector - nurses, teachers, civil servants etc

i recently sold my 13mth old iphone 4 16gb for £380 (ASDA recycle) and then gota free iphone 4 on 2year contract with orange. contract should have been £40 a mth but only costs £30 a mth. i have just sold my new(ish) iphone for £280, again on ASDA recycle site to fund the new iphone 4s.

the orange deal is a real bargain and the coverage has been great. when my tesco deal finished i tried 3 for a mth but it was terrible. only downside with orange is that they charge £5 mth for personal hotspot

Apple's online store app shows prices for all three storage capacities in both black and White. Their web site only says from £499. The app says the 16GB, 32GB and 64GB will be £499, £599 and £699 respectively.

people were saying exactly the same when the 3gs was released!
Apple know what they are doing, this will sell. they must know by itunes sync etc how many people still have a 3g/3gs (like me and my partner) and wanting to upgrade!
i had got my 3gs, then when the iphone 4 came out i wanted it but wasnt willing to pay my contract up.
now the time is right for me to upgrade, ive looked at the specs and compared to the 3gs they blow it out the water

i never for one minute expected a change in design for this gen, apple had spent so much time and money on getting the iphone 4 right with the antenna issues, the time spent on trying to get the glass white without light leaking through etc
so taking that into consideration it made sense they stuck with that, it then gives them longer to 100% get the next redesign bang on the money without running into the any wide spread issues as the iphone 4 had
