For you people wavering on the iPhone 5

[sangria]

I paid for my Starbucks with my phone today.

This blew my mind with it's awesomeness.

If I can just figure out how to this phone to blow dry my hair and address all my xmas cards, I will marry it.

Ooooh H and I were just talking about this again today. I've been trying to decide between the iPhone 5 and Galaxy 3S or whatever it is. We're waiting until I go back to work to upgrade. I'm in no rush, but we need to buy a new car seat first.

How does that work? PayPal? iTunes?

Magic.

Bingo.

[angelaa73]

Shaddit

[sangria]

It's the Starbucks app and you load it from paypal and then they just whip out their scanner and Tada! paid.

I have an inappropriate level of fascination with this.

[angelaa73]

Magic, my ass!

[Deleted]

"Magic" is a colloquial term for "app."

[joenali]

I can do that with my iPhone 3GS.

LOL.

[sangria]

You guys are so lame!

You don't have Siri though.

Take that.

As someone who doesn't have a smartphone, this thread both amazes me and makes me giggle.

This. I've had it on my phone for over a year. Sorry to burst your iphone5 bubble.

[muffin0]

I enjoy my iphone5 but I did this with my HTC incredible (android)

[amberlyrose]

It also tells you when you are close to a Starbucks so it is ready to go!
This is great unless you live across the street from one and see the alert right after you turn off the alarm clock. Not cool.

[angelaa73]

Oh. I'm so shiny!


Shiny denotes dumbass

It's no fun to pay with your phone if I it takes a forklift to lift that heavy, clunky beast up to the register.

lol

Can you guys tell I've never had an awesome phone?

Well I just got one and went from a droid to an Iphone 5.... THe visual voice mail amazes me. I am a freak.

What is visual voicemail?

[DaisyCakes]

I do that all the time with my 4S and I have Siri

[dowagercountess]

I have visual voicemail on my droid, and I have been paying for my Starbucks for my phone for a year.

:Y:

yeah - like I said I like my iphone and all but I'm thinking I may sell it and buy the Nokia Lumia 920 (windows phone)

I love the zune/xbox music software and that allows me to impulse download all the songs I'd like without paying an arm and a leg.

Ok, I just got my shiny new iPhone 5 last night, and while I agree it is nicer than my old 3GS, (I was sold entirely on the camera) I need to know what visual voicemail is.

Lol your 3GS has visual voicemail. It's the thing where you can see all the messages and fast forward through them and such rather than calling the number to hear them.

[fuckyourcouch]

Lololol whut.

You never checked your voicemail?

I don't get why this is better than using a debit card.

Ha ha. Me either. Lol

[fuckyourcouch]

When you tap the phone icon and the menu thing comes up with your favorites, recents, keypad, contacts, voicemail at the bottom. When you tap voicemail, what do you see? A list of messages?

[fuckyourcouch]

Should look like this


It's not anything special, it sounds better than it is. Lol

[fuckyourcouch]

Wow, really?

You might be getting ripped off. I suggest you immediately move into my guest room. I'll share Kirby.

[TemperanceBrennan]

I live in the US and my iphone calls my voicemail right away when I hit voicemail. I want to know how to change it.
