I had a credit card, jointly with my parents, from the point I was 15. It helped establish my credit rating, and helped me get a card of my own once I entered college. Since you're 19, you should be able to get a card-- although the terms of your first card might be very harsh when carrying a balance. So don't do that, for god's sake. Just budget and spend what you have in the bank, but use the credit card to do it. It's a good way to learn. Eventually you'll be able to apply for a card with better terms once you prove you can stick to a plan like that.
The thing is, you're going to need to prove you can keep up with bills on time (establish a credit history) before you should be allowed to own an phone that will cost you $70+ a month. It makes sense, even though it probably sucks for you right now.
Dictation is amazing!
I can't believe how accurate and fast dictation on messages is. I won't have to type ever again! Even if you hesitate, it recognizes the words and full sentences in one second...
I am finally impressed!

The thing that sucks for me about preordering the iPhone 4S is that they had to send it to my billing address... I live an hour away from home for college.
This has been the only time that I wished I lived at home.
I can't wait to meet you iPhone 4S.
lucky! try 9 hours
And iOS 5 has changed to the set-up - SWEET
Just a few minutes to set up. I chose to sync via my iTunes. So you only plug in in for a couple of minutes. Then it continues wirelessly and you can play with it during the load. I love the end of the "swipe" to "Cancel Sync". Now I just have 4 pages of Apps and folders with the empty load bars in the bottom, filling in with blue, one after another. And you can use the phone while it progresses.

Yeah, you can get a ton of cash for a used iPhone. I sold an iPhone 3G about a year and a half ago, with a big crack up the back of the case. Worked perfectly, though. Sold it to Amazon for store credit and got about $100. I know I could have got more on ebay, but it was so easy.
It's worth looking in to Amazon and Best Buy for store credit buy-backs if you want less "hassle" and don't mind sacrificing a little potential profit. The transaction is easy and shipping costs are covered.
Look at the two Siri images.
One is from 6:42 - Charge is @ 43%.
Second is from 7:16 - Charge is at 11%.
Totally sux.
I noticed the same thing. I hope for all the people lucky enough to get theirs today, they don't see similar results. On paper, they should have better battery life than the iPhone 4; but as we all know, sometimes reality and what's on paper just don't match up.
siri sucks here in the uk, just keeps referring you to the web, as its not set up properly for the Uk yet, ask for a traffic report, and its cant help me, why dont they get it set up for europe the same time as USA, I bet we buy more phones combined than the US.

Well Android has always been light years ahead of IOS when it comes to voice command integration. While Siri is very impressive, Android can already do much of what Siri can and there are apps available that are similar to Siri, but admittedly not quite as good. You can be sure that Google is working on and will soon release an update.
6 minutes of video=1GB!
Quality is amazing!!
I got the 64GB model. With 8MP photos and Full HD video, 16GB users are going to quickly regret not getting the 64GB version...
Unfortunately there is no quality toggle. I think a future update should give you at least a 720p video option for people that don't need the full 1080.

Is the "Dukes of Hazzard" in re-runs over there? You don't get out much do you as you vent frustration on your American designed product ?

Yeah and the UK is full of alcoholics who get pissed at pubs on a daily basis...
No wonder Siri doesn't understand you, mate.

Wish I could use find my iPhone to see where UPS is.

My biggest wish is that the Verizon phone supported LTE. Verizon's data speed is slow otherwise. It looks like it will be another year until this happens with the iPhone 5.

What I don't get is that people give you negative feedback on what is the truth. (The Bold Stuff)
Apple customers used to be mostly American but now by far most of their products sold are outside of the US.
Apple is an international company, its revenue is for a large part outside of the US so Apple should do more for those loyal customers outside the US.
Think different Apple
Is The iPhone 4S capable to standby on both GSM and CDMA networks so that you can call from both of them?

...but this is the iPhone 5! The 5th generation iPhone, or "iPhone 5G" as some may call it (I saw the last one called the "iPhone 4G", so why wouldn't this one be the iPhone 5G?).
If the number 5 is so important, just get a sticker or something. I really doubt Apple would call the next iPhone an "iPhone 5", as it would be the 6th one.
The 4S is the iPhone 5.

That's the whole point!
Londoner: "Shiiiiiri!! (hic), Where the ****** am I?"
Siri: "You're still at the pub. Shall I call you a taxi?"
Londoner: "Where is the blaaady nearest kebab shop first? I'm staaaarvin'! (hic)".
Londoner: "Actually, scrap that, I fancy a Ruby Murray, where's m'nearest Indian?"
Siri: "There are 14 Curry-Houses near to your location. I've sorted them by staggering distance."
Now THAT is the future. Cockney-Rhyming slang and empathy for a situation/state of inebriation.
