iphone5 being delivered to the dave household next friday

Have any trouble pre-ordering? The Sprint website was locked up so I ordered from Apple directly. Hope it gets here on time  :crossfingers:

Does anyone know if you'll be able to turn 4g on and off on the Iphone5 like you can with the EVO? I never have 4g turned on with the EVO because the service is such crap. Ironically I can see Sprint's world head quarters out my office window but can't get 4g service.  :dubious:

go to sprint website. hit the thing to upgrade your phone. it will ask you if you want to sell them your current phone. it will make you an offer for it ($52 for an EVO).  pay for the upgraded phone to be delivered to your house.  they email you a shipping label so you can mail them your EVO when your new phone gets there.  they credit your account.  It was easy as crap.  very simple transaction.

How do you know a phone that hasn't come out yet is better than another phone that hasn't come out yet? Anyways I thought they discontinued Chevrolet Luminas, what makes it better than the Iphone?

Yeah but, then you have to use Sprint. Jk, I am sure they are just as good/terrible as AT&T.

Better plans than ATT but you cant fracking talk and data at the same time on Sprint, unlike ATT.

wife and I are on a 2 year contract cycle where we each renew a year apart. they've got their hooks in us deep. the plan is always to keep the new phone for 3 years and then reevaluate but two years rolls around and I'm all "eff this, upgrade!"
