I hope it's a fast roll out,
I'm in New Zealand, and not that keen to wait till next year for it.
And i really hope they have enough stock to cover all of the orders so there is no delays :-(

That's my gripe. I've been wanting at least a 4" screen since the iPhone 4 came out, but I hung on to my 3gs. If Apple disappoints again, I'll have wasted nearly a year and a half hanging on to this damn 3.5" screen...
I have an iPhone 4 and just recently won a Samsung Galaxy S II and all I can say is that the Sammy is way overhyped! The entire Android experience just left me with a headache. Thank god I didn't pay anything for it but I'm sure all the Sammy lovers that have invaded here will continue to exclaim its virtues blindly. Meanwhile, I'll look forward to the iPhone 5 and it's wonderful iOS. I can handle waiting for a few more weeks since my IPhone 4 is still working great.
And the iPhone 5 is going to blow us away. (or I'll eat my Galaxy S II!!!)
....ok, maybe I'll just lick it a couple of times.

Well i thought about doing the same thing if Apple gave us the same old 3.5 screen. The problem with going with another OS. When you have another ecosystem like Apple, timecapsule,imac,ipad 2,Apple TV etc it doesn't really make sense for me. Add to the fact that these case logic designs pretty much confirm a new form factor and a larger screen the switch would have me wishing I stayed with Apple.
WEEKS away?! Weeks!? Two weeks ago people were thinking an announcement would be this week.
I sold my 3GS a MONTH ago thinking the phone would be here by now I am so sick of using my crappy old Blackberry curve which can't connect to the internet, has no music, and contains 5 of my contacts!
If iPhone 5 isn't out by Oct 15, I'm buying a 4.
I can't believe the announcement is more than 7 days away. This is ridiculous.
I miss my iPhone

Since it's their first "world phone", I'm wondering if they're waiting to have the roll-out in all countries on the same day?
Past practice put the Fall media event after the end of the Back-To-School promotion, but this year there was no free iPod offer, so that may be a moot point. Still, the promotion ends 9/20.
Don't invitations to the media events sometimes happen on Friday? That is tomorrow....

iPhone 5 announcement: People it's just a phone, who cares when it comes out, it'll come out when it's out
I don't understand this logic. A iPhone 4 with iOS5 would be better than any Samsung POS.
Tell me about it.
I'm convinced NYT employs some extraordinary hard-to-find geniuses!
Delivery to the States
My wife both have 2nd generation iPhones so we're both anxious for the release. Couple of questions/comments.
1) Why does Apple even need to have a major press conference to announce new phone? I would think a press release will create enough excitement and buzz. After all, it's folks like us and the tech media who's watching the announcement, and most of us are already sold.
2) China still has to install iOS5. There's a least a week right there. Then and I'm no shipping expert, but based on the volume and weight of the shippments, wouldn't it have to come to the states via cargo ship? Assuming that's how it happens, ships would come into port of Los Angeles and then have to trucked all over country.
3) Then I seem to recall reading a rumor about an expected huge 3rd quarter for apple and presummed it would be because of a new product announcement. Namely the new iPhone. Since October is 4th quarter, that boost must be from MB Air.
Just venting because I'm frustrated as the weekss go by and no announcement yet.

This isn't journalism.
Not this clown's "prediction", not the NYTimes' decision to provide him with an outlet, and certainly not Macrumors reposting of the same, inane material.
Get a life, guys. If you have information, share it. If you don't, no one wants to know that you "think" you "might" "maybe" have something "potentially interesting" to tell us "soon".

Yeah, the iPhone 4 was a letdown. I wish it was the thinnest smartphone or the one with the highest resolution screen. Wait...
I was going to post that but then I though I could get warned for using inappropriate language.
