Just how bad do you need a smart phone right now?


Apple iPhone 5 with iOS 5 will be out early October.

Google Nexus Prime with Android 4.0 will also probably be coming sometime in October.


If you are gonna get locked into a 2 year contract with that phone, I might wait a couple months for the latest and greatest if you can.



I'm waiting on the iPhone 5, but not sure how much longer I can wait. My Blackberry is almost dead


*hope they don't delay any longer*

It's not confirmed, but there is an educated guess that the T-Mobile version of the SGS2 may have a lesser Qualcomm processor inside rather than Samsung's Exynos. Conspicuously it was the only phone locked behind glass that could not be handled. And T-Mobile wanted a 42Mbps HSPA+ modem in their version, it seems only Qualcomm processor can provide this feature. The Exynos is bundled with an Intel 21Mbps HSPA+ modem.

So faster network speed versus faster processor. I might go with the faster processor if I were buying.

But it's still unconfirmed right now.
