Honestly, there isn’t enough time in the day to break in another new mobile phone.  EVEN if it is the “Hot New Iphone 5.”  My daughter is just going to have to duck and hide when I pull out my Iphone FOUR in front of her little friends.   I am NOT interested in the NEW “cloud.”  I am still lost in the OLD “cloud.”  I don’t want a “teardrop” shaped back, which will just require a new $30 custom-made CASE.  I would like voice-recognition software, but so far none of those gadgets ever recognize MY voice!  So why bother?  Even if it’s faster, cooler, flatter, wider, lighter, brighter, or even if it will walk to my refrigerator and

cut me slice of  chocolate cake…..I STILL DON’T HAVE TIME TO ADOPT A NEW IPHONE.  It’s just like taking on an extra child.  Always needs feeding, have to keep it out of the sun, take it in for check-ups, make sure it’s never out of your sight.   That’s it….I am going to permit myself to be:  BEHIND.

But if YOU are brave enough to want one……..here’s what you can expect to get for your $199:

1- Sprint may be a new partner.  The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Sprint-Nextel has entered into an agreement to buy $20 billion worth of Iphones over the next four years.

2-The Iphone V will be skinnier, shorter and wider.  Fatter at the top, thinner at the bottom?

3-New 8 megapixel rear camera.

4-Access to the new, improved, ICloud so that all of your pictures, music and personal information can be connected without syncing to your computer.

5- Face activated security?

Sounds new and improved, but…….it won’t serve up a slice of chocolate cake.    I’ll wait for the Iphone….6.
