This. If they call it iPhone 5 that will just be it's name, theres nothing more to it. It will be a stupid name, but it's name none the less.

It wouldn't be a stupid name though would it, 4s can be classed as the 4.5. I really don't get how Lee can be so weird about the name of a phone. As Matt pointed out, who cares. Or are you winding people up?

No, by that logic the 3GS would have to be classed as the 2.5, which then makes the 4 the 3.0 and the 4S the 3.5 and the new one the 4.0. Hence 5 would STILL be the wrong name.
It doesn't bother me what Apple calls it, but I find it extremely odd that everybody assumes they will give it a completely illogical name.

If you want to keep logics, then they would have had the same release date each time for their phones, but they didn't

i know exactly why it is. the last release was a much bigger deal everyone was waiting for the release of the iPhone 5, then when the 4s came out the media just continued to go on about the iPhone 5.
and people think the 3 in 3G was because it was the third.

You mean like they named the 5th generation 4S.
It will be called 'iPhone' and people will reffer to it as 'the new iPhone' and iPhone 5.
The same as the 3rd generation iPad is called 'iPad, and reffered to as 'the new iPad' and 'iPad 3'.

corr do I want an iphone or not? I've been rolling on my shitty samsung £20 tesco phone for over a year and I'm REALLY craving a smartphone, I just don't know if I should wait for an iphone (every time I use one they just work, but then again iphones are for fags, faggots, dick eaters etc) or find me a lovely android phone and deal with the strong emotional feeling every night wishing I had an iphone because they are so cool and i love dicks and shit.

If this new iPhone doesn't impress I might move over to an S3. Really bored with iOS.

Shame iTunes WINE support is shite but you can still VM XP though, wouldn't be too much hassle and just mount a local dir.
If it's just for syncing music then use GtkPod or similar.
Surprised you're rolling some cheapo Samsung, especially considering you can pick up something like the Ascend 300 for £80 (or less if you nab your old dears Tesco clubcard points ) which will happily run ICS or JB.

Dom, it was to get me out of trouble when my HTC had to go back and I never replaced it after getting a pay out. I really do enjoy my simple phone but I could do with emails and the like, last week I went to reading festival from Wednesday to Monday and I came home with a full battery

If that ends up being the actual thing it definitely looks good, size dependant.

hopefully it does come out this month as id like a new phone. had the iphone 4 for over 2 years now. apart from a random speaker problem that fixed itself without me doing anything, its been a great phone. just time for a change and nothing else really worth getting so waited for an iphone 5.
