I agree. While I don't necessary like the colors of the 5c I do understand the reason for its existence. After 4 generations of the "Glass and Metal Sandwich" looks "fresh" while the old design, while still gorgeous, is looking a bit stale.
Personally, I use a 5 and have a 5s (silver) on the way that I paid full price for because I want that camera so bad. But I'll likely return it because in the end I know that I'll upgrade next year (hopefully to a bigger screen) so why pay so much for something so similar.
