    thinking of buying an iPhone 5

    on contract so I can flip it for 8 stacks on ebay or craigslist.

    I will then buy the unsubsidized nexus 4 for $3 bills and blow the rest on 500 McChickens.
    +

    Who else has the same gameplan?
    :p

    Few buds did this when the 4s came out.
    New contract, sold the new 4s, kept the 4.

      Christ...2 gigs of ram and a quad core processor? I'm a little behind on the smartphone world but are there apps and stuff that actually utilize this or is it just overkill? I'm considering an iPhone 5 too, still trying to figure out what I wanna do...

        No LTE (I'm not leaving Verizon, LOVE my Galaxy Nexus/LTE) and no removable battery has me up in arms.

          I dislike my iPhone 5
          - new connector doesnt work with anything
          - loss of google maps way more troublesome than I thought it would be
          - ATT holding cellular facetime and tethering for ransom so I'll buy even more service. F.U.

              I heard the LTE drastically hinders battery life w/ these android devices..any truth to this?

              Already posted a fake ad on craigslist for $850 and had a bunch of thirsty people wanting to snag it.

                With the stock battery on my nexus I could get a day with basic use.. I tend to live on my phone so I have an extended (usually gets me 1.5 days)

                Every single smartphone I have ever used has had shit battery life, and I've owned them all, Windows Mobile, IOS, Palm, Android, etc.

                I'm just used to it.

                  yes, LTE will suck the juice out of the battery like lambo after blunt's cock.

                    Anyone planning on doing this late January, hit me up.
                    A friend will be in Hawaii and would bring it back for me so I don't have to do the customs shananigans.

                        Good idea. I've had my 4 since it came out and I'm eligible for upgrade. Wasn't gonna spend the cash for 4S just so the phone would talk to me and I'm not one of those people that have to have the latest thing out and I'm still happy with my 4. I want the 5. (Maybe in like 4 or 5 months) but this sounds juicy. So does McChickens.

                        But then If I ever wanted the 5 in the future, buy for the low low?

                          It costs me $350 to upgrade to the newest iPhone and I can sell my old phone on Craigslist for $350, it's a no brainer

                          5 is way nicer than the 4 IMO
