I have decided not to sell now. I see a lot of people selling the iPhone 4 just to get the iPhone 5. However the way I see it, I am sure 99% of all features of the IOS 5 will work on iPhone 4, so then thinking why sell? Okay I was thinking about the antenna issue etc.

However since the bumper fixes that Issue, I thought hey might as well just upgrade when my upgrade date comes which is in August 2012.

Then I am thinking that my network O2 normally brings out a good early upgrade deal anyway, so hmm will just see what happens and stick with iPhone 4 for now. What is everyone else thinking of doing?

Here's what I did, I went to ebay and typed "iphone 4 16gb" (I had a 16GB iPhone 4) then I saw how much they sell used. I noticed I could get around $500 and then get the new iPhone 5 for $199 using my AT&T Upgrade Offer. Therefore I recommend you see how much of a difference you are gonna have to pay.

PS - Sorry for my American/Hispanic English, I know it is so improper.

$500 thats what they are roughly going for here too in the UK. I had mines on sale for that amount. However I left it and took the sale off. Ebay has too many fee's to be honest and I do not like paypal. I think O2 will have some sort of similar early upgrade offer. Will have to wait and see my friend before I make a decision lol. Oh and don't say sorry about your english. It is fine, it is better than my spanish, wait i don't know any spanish at all lol.

Ok, I was doing a google search and noticed if are willing to take a two year contract then you should be able to get the iPhone 5 for $199-$299 depending on the discount (a 16GB could cost $199 or $299 sometimes $399). :(
