iphone 5 in 3-6 months?
6-8 months, so not far off at the top end
are we talking proper new phone or just an update like 3GS was to 3G?
A friend told me according to some website (mac rumours) that it's gonna be out May 2011 ish?
I couldn't say, Apple wouldn't stand to gain much by slapping a dual core in the iPhone 4 as it stands now unless they want 1080p, I cant see how they could improve the screen unless they made it bigger, which they probably wont...
It will probably be a redesigned shell (to remove the antenna problems), an 8MP camera and have a 64GB version. Then lots of other little things that they will market as revolutionary

Has BT, just can't do as much as you would like with it, like no BT transfer of files/pics

The antenna problem has been sorted, hasn't it? I though all phones after Sept had been fixed?
I dont think it has, there would have been a huge uproar if they stealth fixed it as people would have wanted refunds etc.

A memory card slot would be pretty nice I think, 8GB tends to fill up pretty quickly but I doubt apple would add one as they'd rather you pay the extra for a 32gb one from the outset.[Corsa]Fox;17874011 said:

yea but they got a bumper
i was really worried about the antenna problem , especially being a lefty , happy to say ive never had a dropped call from it and my house is right in a signal deadzone (literally a black spot on vodafones map)

It isn't a free phone - it is a very heavily subsidised handset.
I am paying £20 a month at the moment. I can get an upgrade and move to a £35 a month tariff. I can then upgrade in 12 months time.
Cost of new phone is 12x£15=£180.
I think most people would see that as a great price for a Desire HD or an HD7 or similar high end smartphone.

Or we'd get a memory slot using some stupid inane proprietry memory card technology that only Apple use, and nobody else can licence.
Then we'll end up being charged something like £100 to add an extra 8GB to the iPhone.
Cynical? Well, yes. I think it's going to be VERY close for me when I upgrade, between a nice, decent Windows phone or the iP5.

No, that is what you get as an O2 business customer. I did mention it in my first post.
35 x 12 = 420
Drop down to an equivilent sim only of £15 and you only pay £180 for 12 months.
So yeah it's far from free.

If I get a £15 per month contract then I am tied in for 12 months on a contract. I am comparing a 30day contract at £20 per month with a contract at £35 per month. The difference of £15 for 12 months is the cost to me of signing a contract and getting a handset.
I really dont think it is. You don't get a 12 month contract on £35 a month with a completely free high end handset of your choice unless your bills are considerably more than £35 a month.
I used to administer a corporate account with several hundred handsets and we didnt get that!
