to those of you holding out for the Lumia 920 I honestly don't think WP8 is going to pick up even with recent samsung and htc in. The issue is not with the device but with WP8. the Lumia is going to be pitched the same way they did last year even with a strong push from ATT to provide a third OS.
The battle next year will be extremely fierce undoubtedly with android picking up beyond Jelly Bean and battling with iOS. WP8 will be by the wayside.

Yeah but if the rumors are true it would be non-Retina which is a no go for me. I'm guessing Apple is leaving Retina out so that it can introduce that as a selling point in the iPad mini 2
But if they do that then there'd be 2 different resolutions for the iPad mini alone, creating further fragmentation
Defo was both fun and irritating playing the waiting game
I gotta say I've been tempted by Lumia 920 too
Haha true - What month did you get your 4S?
I sold my 4 and got a 4S. I let my mom have my upgrade (she got the 4S), hey, to me family is more important than a phone .
My GF got the ip5 but is now regretting it with all the scratching issues the 5 has. She might return it and get white 4S for 99$

Got the 5 and took it back. I just love the 4S so much better. The 5 was zippier, but after playing with it for a couple of hours, I was over it. It's a nice phone, but I still think the quality of the 4S is better. I've had mine for almost a year, thrown it around, and no damage. I had the 5 for a day and already saw scuffs.
I've had the 4s from day 1 drop.. IMO it is prolly one of, if not the most functional and most visually appealing phones ever.. The feel of glass and metal, heft and ease of function is almost beyond comparison..
After fondling the new 5 for 10 minutes today, IMO it felt (and looked like) more of a lightweight toy rather than the machine the 4s is..
Nope, no need for this boy to upgrade this year, looks like a nice ride, just not my style..
YMMV

Bro, be happy. IMO you own the 2nd best phone on the market in the 4S. Not too shabby, at least you don't have an android.
OP you said it yourself. You can get more money selling the 4S and paying for the 5.
Also to everyone that is in the f-it boat-
I was in that boat. I didn't want to pay the extra $250 for a 5. I spoke with AT&T very diligently, and figured out I can just start a new line for $9.99 per month. Why would anyone want to pay an extra $120 per year for an upgrade? Because:
1. If you do the math, it's cheaper than $250 per year. Yes you heard me correctly, you would have to pay that $250 next year for an eary upgrade too.
2. AT&T gave me free text messaging for 6 months. I have a family plan and messaging is $30 per month. Therefore, $180 over all.
3. AT&T gave me $10 per month credit.. For the rest of my life, if I chose to stick with them. Yes. That's right.
4. I rarely make calls anymore due to the fact that I work a lot. The other line on my account rarely does too. Most of my usage is text messages- sometimes 15k a month but lately 1-3k. So I agreed to down my plan to 450 min per month and I still get to keep my rollover minutes of nearly 2500. Saves me another $10 per month.
5. When my phone arrived, the new number I received was already associated to another account, making it difficult to activate my phone at home. For my troubles they credited my account for $35, out of nowhere.
The 5 is an amazing phone. I used it for 6-7 hours last night playing with it, using the camera, etc. picked up my 4S and it felt weird. The 5 is significantly lighter, and you will notice. It's a phone that just pops out at you. I have a cover on it, but dang, by each minute that passes, I just want to take it out of the cover and look at it. I wasn't so amazed by the new design when all the leaks happened, but now, I think it's an amazing looking phone. I'm very happy I made the upgrade.
All in all, OP, make some calls, talk to some CS agents. Be nice. Some will tell you, sorry there is nothing they can do, but they are lying.
