Didn't you hear Chip? 5.01 iOS got updated to fix the issue, bringing back the battery life to normal. You didn't know? Keep up sport. :D

    I'd rather buy an Xperia arc S or a Sensation XE and still have some spare cash. What nuthead will give 850 USD for a battery issued device?

        Very high price... I think i phone is targeting only high income people... I phone could not cover root level of people.... Suggest the Apple please sell the Iphone 4S in periphery countries whatever their people can purchased as per their income.... we need reliable prices....

Your brain might be dead...as in brain dead vegetable. Why i say this ? 1. Cause adobe specified it stop updating mobile flash players, it's not like it bans them LOL. 2. Second they still update the desktop flash player. 3. Billions of youtube videod are still in flash and will remain in flash for eons of time starting yesterday. 4. Androids still can open youtube videos, iOS and WP cant. I'm refering to full in browser flash and also flash content, streams, games, etc. 5. You seem to ignore the replyes that prove you wrong. Why is that ? Cause you're incapable of facing the truth. Just like a drug addict, the hardest step is always the first: admiting you have a problem. So what exactly tells you flash is dead ? It's never gonna dissapear in the next 5-6 years. Millions of videos and sites aren't gonna get magicaly transformed into html5. Youtube alone would take 3-4 years if they would stop using flash today otherwise the flash keeps piling up.

                  I wouldn't pay $300 for a set of Beats, you can get better sound for a lot less as far as using them with a Galaxy S 2 it would be like burning money.

                  The original poster I replied to was saying a Samsung Galaxy S 2 + a 32GB memory card + a set of beats costs less than $649.

                      There is no contract, we can buy a sim-only service for as little as $10 per month and run our iPhones with that. And yes, this includes data.

                      Over the course of 2 years, the unlocked price + a cheap SIM-only BYO phone option is FAR cheaper than a stupid $200 + $70/month contract.

                      Outside of the US/Canada, if we go on 24 month contracts, the phones are free anyway. None of this $199 rubbish.

                        I'm not sure if this question has been answered already but is it already possible to sim-unlock the 4s? (from at&t for example?)

                                  under 800 $ for an iphone 4s? are you kidding me?? you think it's too much?? In some countries the 32gb version costs 1200 $ and the gdp of those countries is at least 10 times less than that of US.

                                      $750 OMG! That insane! I mean I know people will buy them like mad men but man for that price you can pick up a pretty good laptop computer that'll do way more than Siri could ever do. The crazy thing is that only Apple could pull this off, because now you're just paying for the name just like all of their computers and everything else that they make.
