To iPhone 5 or Not?!

I know everyone is going crazy over the iPhone 5.

I have the iPhone 4 and didn't get the 4s because i figured the 5 was coming.

At this rate...i am sure the brains behind Apple will come up with an iPhone 5s or iPhone 5.5...

i am being a bit cynical but how many new iPhones can they come up with? 

I am sure plenty more because all Apple has to do is 

tweak or add a few thing and they consider it a new product instead of an upgrade.

Last night we saw a Samsung commercial poking fun 

of Apple and iPhone without mentioning their name...because that would be tacky. 

 Needless to say the commercial and other articles I've read made me think...

is it really worth it to buy a new iPhone just because there are a few new changes. 

 Including a lighter weight,thinner, aluminum back cover,

 the touch technology is integrated right into the display,

 larger/taller screen, 

it runs faster (iOS 6), 

voice quality is better, 

the camera is superb, 

new earpods, new location of the earphone jack,

 lightening connector.  

Most of the changes appear to be fluff to me but then again i am not a very techy person. 

I am sure the iPhone 5 is the best smart phone ever created...

But does that mean that i need one?

 I know for sure i don't NEED to get it...

do i WANT to get it...of course i do.  

Am i going to get it....the jury is still out on that one.

Over 2 million pre-orders suggests the iPhone is a WANT for many people.  

Or is it a NEED?

Question of the Day:

Are you getting the new iPhone?

Phew, Baby Pancakes just woke up...gotta go!

Have an awesome day!!

My iPhone is Sick!

When Mr. Pancakes surprised me with my iPhone 4, i was really pumped about all the fun and exciting things that i can do! Like talk on the phone and check email at the same time.  The two way camera. The iPod with all the music i wanted.  And of course the one million available apps.   I was just excited.

However, 8 months into owning my precious iPhone and it's started to act up! 

Today for no reason, it just shut off! Imagine my shock and horror at this action. 

I was devastated.  I was unable to access my phone.  I would check my email and the screen would go blank. 

Like a sick baby, i took it to the AT&T (store) hospital where they (operated) reset it by holding the sleep/hold button and the power button until the phone shuts off. 

Of course, he does this and the phone is magically restored! I can access my phone and email again!

Of course i have lost all of my Apps that took me hours to search and add! As much as i love my iPhone and cannot live without it, i hate all the other technical stuff that are beyond my control!

The iPhone is definitely a smart phone but man it's frustrating when it doesn't act so smart!
Or does the smart phone make me not so smart?!

Have you had any challenges with your phone recently?

What kind of smart phone are you working with?
