The new Apple iPhone 5S and 5C went on sale Friday and mine has been ordered. Usually I wouldn’t be upgrading my phone, but this time it was a major need. Last winter I decided it would be a good idea to send my old iPhone through the washing machine. Needless to say it didn’t make it out alive. Since I wasn’t do for an upgrade at the time, and there was no way I was going to spend $500 on a new one, I opted to use my 6 year old Blackberry.
I never realized how much I loved my iPhone until I had to go back to a Blackberry that had a scroll ball. So the new iPhone 5S should be at my door the first week in October and I can’t wait to check out the new iOS 7 that it has on it.

I’m sure that was very painful to have to go back to the blackberry from any smartphone. I’m sure you’ll be happy when the new phone arrives, even if it is an iPhone 🙂
Thanks homie! Good luck with your new iDevice. My brother just got one, seems to enjoy it. I work for the competition, so I wouldn’t know it they are any good, but I like my Windows Phone 🙂
Thats definitely not a very frugal move 🙂
Still, worth every penny I guess. Thanks for the mention.
