iPhone 5 Pre-orders Set to Begin at 12:01 AM Pacific Time Tomorrow [Update: Confirmed]

I don't care what anyone says. This iPhone update was everything I could ask for and more. I cannot WAIT to get my hands on this thing!!

I've already set my alarm for 3:00 am EST!!:D

I'm setting mine for 2:30, 2:45. 2:55. 2:58

isn't midnight pacific, 9pm eastern?! That's what i did last year while traveling in NY, i think it was 9pm eastern?! Maybe it changed?

I don't now where you live but where I am the sun rises in the East.

meh :( "iPhone 4GS" would have been a more applicable name.


The iPhone5 is a nice incremental upgrade, but not enough for me to rush out and replace my iPhone4 (even after two years of using it now).

incremental?

20% thinner
20% lighter
LTE
Screen made to 4 inches
Improved Battery life
40% better color saturation
TWICE AS FAST

How come Apple has to reinvent the phone every damn year? This is a significant upgrade

I'd rather get up at 3 than pay tax on the unsubsidized price of the phone.

I'd rather live in CA where the weather is beautiful all year round than not pay tax on the unsubsidized price of the phone.:rolleyes:

I don't get what the fuss is about. iOS is very disappointing. So limiting and restrictive. Have you people seen Android Jelly Bean on the latst Samsung hardware. It puts iOS to shame and 5 years behind.

This iPhone is release has nothing new. The processor is slow compared to Samsung, the screen is small. Apple have lost their way.

I've had an iPhone for the past 4 years. This year is my last. In November my contract is up for renewal and I will be hopping to the future which is Android.

That's my 2 cents...

Bye bye. We will not miss you. Have fun in frag-men-tation Android land!

I've already set my alarm for 3:00 am EST!!:D

Glad I live in CA.....
