This LTE is a lot more complicated than I'd imagine.

So the GSM/CDMA nomenclature is basically a red herring. All models have the same GSM. One model has CDMA. They each have different LTE.

So based on Apple's chart, if I picked AT&T, I won't have LTE if I use the phone outside of the US and Canada.

If I picked Verizon, I should still get LTE when I visit Singapore.

My phone doesn't do this either though. I can't get data while I'm on the phone with voice.

Will Sprint be getting the iPhone 5 anytime soon?

#1642039Post 19 of 82

Re: September 12, 2012

I have a 3GS too and will likely upgrade to an iPhone5 or a Samsung Galaxy S3... not sure yet. Gotta see it IRL and make a choice.

Re: September 12, 2012

DANNNNNG nice one dusk, seeing that I already have the Sammy Note running Jelly Bean, I don't know if I should use my wife's phone upgrade and snag the iPhone 5 upgrade for myself or get the new iPod touch, which would be the more logical thing to do. Decisions, decisions.

#1642361Post 22 of 82

Re: September 12, 2012

Was very tempted to get the iTouch but then I also wanted the Nano... so I figured, I'd sell my iPhone 4, upgrade to the 5 and get the nano for Christmas and put the iTouch(red) on my Christmas wish list.... just because :D

So in anticipation of the arrival of my 5 I fired up my Old School (2002) iPod (First Gen - 20GB) with Scroll Wheel and voila there is still some good shit on there ... all my fav EDM sets from then....soooooo excited to put them back into rotation.

For those of you who do not know what I'm talking about -

K - if I were you, I'd be leaning toward the iTouch, Since giving up my HTC Hero and giving up on my Samsung Galaxy,I miss having an Android OS to muck about with :(

#1642374Post 23 of 82

Re: September 12, 2012

I get 22% off on monthly plans at Verizon ... still thinking if I wanna go for the iPhone 5. This whole LTE thing seems like a debacle. The Verizon set would be nice cos I can use it outside of the US, but no simultaneous voice & data ...

#1642388Post 24 of 82

Re: September 12, 2012

4S phones are $99 on apple.com already. Are they going to go any lower anytime in the next few months or is that the new price for the "non new" apple phones?

I'm thinking of moving back to the iPhone, I like the bigger screen on the 5, but I want less shit in my pockets, so if the 4S could get cheep I could go for it. This money wallet I've seen on etsy would be up my alley to save me some room:

Yes I do want something to get back into the Apple eco-system. I have the iPad2 but shit cant' lug it around like a purse, I'm already carrying 2 phones (one personal and one for work) so defo want something smaller. I guess the new iPod Touch will more than likely be the way to go don't know why they made a smaller camera on it, that just stinks.

I was under the impression buying a CDMA phone in the U.S. would be a ROYAL pain in the ass for use overseas.

Re: September 12, 2012

Unfortunately no, only have an iPhone 4, its the wife's unit and she has baby'ed it for the last 2 years. Has anti-scratch plastic on the front and case on the back. Not a scratch on the sucker.

If I understand right, the CDMA phone has a sim tray that can be used overseas. Looking at the specs for the 2 (or 3) iPhone 5 models, all of them support GSM.

I think with the 4 or 4S, people on Verizon have gotten their phones unlocked for global sims.

That will probably be my last ditch option if I can't sell my wife's iPhone 4.

no but I'm sure I can get it unlocked now that it's completed 2 years with ATT. It's also Jailbroken (if that sort of thing interests you, if not, I can do a full reset and load it with iOS 6.0)
