same here. Never watched anything else there besides the keynotes. I am just saying the CNN coverage was 30 minutes delayed and IME only the apple provided coverage was truly live and only available on apple devices...
We'll see tomorrow, I'll probably just follow it via live blog. Sad thing is, you know some village idiot is buying a 4s today.

seems like Gazelle.com might be my best bet.   Especially because then i can keep the phone until after I get the new one.

Well you can start a 7-day ebay listing now and by the time you ship it out you could have the iPhone 5... If you think the small fracture might decrease the value by more than $30, I would simply buy a replacement screen for $30 on ebay

I have a 4S and the price Gazelle gave me is 260.  Selling it on ebay is a bigger hassle so I figure between the hassle and having to possibly find a replacement phone for a couple weeks its worth it to just take the 260.

Also don't forget that with ebay, from your ~$350 gained, about $50-$60 will be charged as ebay + paypal fees...

Some funny iBashing comments on this iPhone prediction article:
http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/11/tech/mobile/apple-iphone-5-event/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

-What to expect:  Crunchy hipsters will wait in line overnight to overpay for this phone and then use it to tweet about "evil corporations"
-that and suicides at the Foxxcon plant will be up for the next 6 months.
-What to expect...a shiny and slightly larger phone with a couple hardware updates that'll cost way too much for what it's worth (gotta pay the china labor laws somehow). I'll pass on this one thx.
-Can Apple sue me if I don't buy an iphone?
-Samsung is planing to file lawsuit tomorrow against Apple for using LTE.
-What to expect?  Another Iphone thats behind the curve and outdated months before its even unveiled.
-The Apple sheep will be camping out over night to be the first in their neighborhood to get the iPhone 5 because it's "cool"? Likelihood: 100 percent.


Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

+1000
The day they wake up and join the race I might even buy a phone from them..
Maybe they'll surprise everyone with a real device this time?
