    Here's a post from me using dictation and it's pretty good I don't have to do anything Tapatalk and will see now if I have to actually replace any of the words.

    So it added Tapatalk in there for some reason, other than that the rest was correct.

    Still at work. I 'll try tonight and if no luck wait on line Saturday AM at the Apple Store.

    At 7:45 AM this morning the local Apple Store had 50 people waiting on line. My wife said the Att store at 11:00 AM had over 100 people on line. We're talking a small store

    Went to the Apple store at lunch time. They had a few combinations in stock. In ATT only 16 gb Dark grey. They gave me the reservation card which holds the unit. In any event they will not accept my 4S on trade in value. It seems the moisture trigger activated the mic is pink. He looked at it with a flash light. The phone works fine but I live in a high moisture area near the beach. I 'm guessing I'll get the same story at Best Buy if they look with a flash light.

    I called one of the grey market guys in Craigslist and he said if the phone works he will give me $200 cash.

    So probaly tonight I'll go back to the Apple store and exercise my reservation card, and sell the 4S phone to the schlocker on Saturday or keep it for back up.

    Nice try. I quickly checked and while seal box are being offered at $5000 or more (sold about $1000), used ones are still about $100 (usually under) LOL!

    Nice, no need to line up then huh? I wonder if that's why apple decided not to allow preorders of the 5s. To get people to go outside and exercise.

    Dude for $100 you can purchase a new 5C and get 16Gig if memory versus 8 Gig on that Gen 2 relic, a processor that's probably 20 fold faster :)

    For $200 you can get the 5S which is faster than 5C.

    I would sell it in eBay and buy a new one. It is practically a wash on the 5C and $100 on the 5S plus tax

    No worry -- easy enough to turn it into a silver with the right case.

    I got the shock resistant bumper which does cover the back as Sage suggests. It as only $35. My wife swears by it. The case is empty on the picture but basically I got a moca brown rubber case. Oh well.

    I'm very impressed with the improvement in Siri. I think that the first phone maker who is able to set up Siri functionality local to the phone rather than through the internet will have a killer application.

    I have ignored Siri since it's inception. I'll have to check it out again.

    I love Siri, because she points to the future. Icing on the cake when she actually works -- and she did great the hour or so I used her today. I'm positive the quiet room helped a lot. As much as I have shied away from borg implants (aka ear BT thingies), I might have to change my mind just for Siri.

    Dude, new iphones DO NOT cost you just $100.
    Let me ask you a question, how much your new iPhone costs you after 2 year contract when you add all your monthly payments?

    And no, processor is not 20x faster, go look it up.
