Clearly you didn't understand what i was saying.
I was speaking at a hardware point of view. I.e, bigger screen, better ergonomic design etc.
Got a tip for us?

Hmm, interesting theory. It is puzzling why it's taken them all the way to October instead of June, in any case. Especially if the phone isn't LTE, after all.
I don't know about the departure per se, but I could see Jobs' worsening condition slowing things down if he lacked the energy to stay on top of everything.
Also, possibly they were just having too many technical difficulties getting an LTE phone working well, so they had to fall back on a Plan B phone and needed time to get the Plan B phone working.

"just weeks away..." => "1~3 weeks"
"Apple employee who asked not to be named" => "his friend"
"potentially authentic" => "It seemed authentic, but he could not gurantee it."
"The Apple engineer also said.." => "His friend was an Apple engineer."
"8 megapixel, A5 processor." => "Everybody know it". 🙄

I disagree with you about the shipping part. Last year when I ordered my iPhone 4, it came straight from Shenzhen, along with the iPad. I don't think any distribution into the the states prior to launch is necessary. FedEx and UPS love iPhone launches. 🙂

I'm stuck on a moto droid original that gets hot as the sun when it's charging, it reboots 5 times a day and eats batteries like candy. I've gotten brand new oem batteries mult. times and still it sucks on battery life. I found and was watching a live stream of WWDC while it was up watching, waiting for the iPhone and nothing came, then they said 9/7, 9/7 came and nothing, now it's just weeks. I've been eligible for an upgrade since April, patiently waiting knowing it's lurking just an invite away...I'll wait...

Clearly, I did understand. Use a Samsung phone for a month and you would be thrilled to get your iPhone back. Sounds like you have a size complex😀
The iPhone 5 will have a horizontally elongated home button, which will act as a button as well as the "slide to unlock" place. You'll be able to slide to unlock directly from sleep mode without having to press a button first.
"according to an Apple employee who asked not to be named because he was not allowed to speak publicly for the company."
Or rather, who asked not to be named because he'd be fired the next day...

I'd say beta 8 within 24 hrs and GM obviously available whenever the event turns out to be.

To each his own. You don't sound happy with your decision though.
Good for you. Just hope you are telling us and not yourself. It seems if you have your new phone already you could start ignoring these asinine rumors.
That seems like a great choice since as far as Apple is concerned the iPhone 4 is the current iPhone - everything else is just conjecture and if we delay our buying decisions because of rumors on unannounced products we've got nobody to complain to but ourselves. Keep in mind you may get a 30-day remorse period from the carrier.
I'm guessing you are saying that you like having a choice of hardware for your mobile OS. There are drawbacks that come with that (fragmentation) but there are also drawbacks to having no choices for iOS hardware on a phone. Judge what is bet for you.
Seems to me you would be putting yourself in a dated OS situation instead of a dated hardware situation with ICS due out next month on the Nexus Prime and the high probability of a Gingerbread phone NOT getting the ICS upgrade or getting it many months later.
If my iPhone 3GS was dying I would just switch back to my treo 680 for a few weeks before i would be willing to switch ecosystems. If I was going to switch I would be looking at Mango now that WebOS has an uncertain future.
I feel for you. Thr iPhone 4 is a great phone, but I'm waiting too with my 3GS. The Moto Droid can be a bit painful. My bro-in-Law's favorite mod for Moto Droid let's him manually down-clock the processor to conserve battery. If my phone down-clocks the processor to conserve battery then I never want to know about it - it should just happen.
But ...
But that is still weeks away. After that becomes longer than 52 though the tem years will usually be used. Because I still have 10 months, I meant 43 weeks left on my Sprint contract with my HTC 4.3" screened EVO 4g phone so I'm willing to weigh a few more weeks.

The same design as the current iPhone 4. If the design is the same and only the camera and processor has been updated, no thanks. Honestly, how do we even know for sure they are going to release the iPhone 5 in October? What is the possibility they announce an economically friendly iPhone 4S? Releasing such phone will increase sales while they work on the finishing touches to the 5. The iPhone 5 could possibly wait until June considering the iPhone 4 (and possibly 4S) is/will be selling at a great rate. I am afraid that this possible nightmare will become reality 😡
Seconds?
Let's skip a few & just go to seconds away. But then seconds can be broken down to smaller units. I like counting with whole numbers so I'll be counting the seconds.

Photoshop is wrong
What is with this STUPID headline PHOTO
Why do you use it? It is not real and should not be used. It cheapens the site when you use FAKE photos. Have journalistic pride, don't sell out.
Please Desist!
