My daughter purchased an i6 which should be here on Tuesday or Wednesday. She's really looking forward to its arrival.

Me? Still using a Samsung Slider phone (TracPhone);s

I went and talked to them about the $200 credit thingy. Its a gift card, which won't work for me. I guess I will hold on to my 5 for a bit.

Why won't it work?

So, we ended up not waiting as long as I was thinking to upgrade our phones. The wife's 4S just stopped playing any kind of sounds whatsoever and she was just fed up with it. We went to Costco and she got a new 5S for $79. I ended up jumping ship over to a Galaxy S5 and I'm really liking it so far.

They had the 6's on display, and I gotta admit that I was tempted to put myself down for one.

The S5 is a great phone too! Can't beat the durability of it.

Weeze ordered me a 6 plus about a week ago. They say I should get it the end of this month.
She did it cause the kid dropped his phone in the terlit and we needed to do the phone shuffle. Now his phone works, we dried it out.
So we'll see how the 6 plus goes...

No good way to use the credit. Company pays the bill. They told me I had to pay the phone price upfront. If they'd let me add it to the bill, I could use the credit to pay for it.

Great that your company pays your bill.
Not so great that you can't use the credit. Unless you can find some high-end accessories.

Verizon offering $200 trade in value for each of our 4S phones sure helped.

Did the exact same thing this weekend - three iPhone 6's (Me, my wife and my FIL) - and got the same $200 trade in deal. AT&T also threw in a LG Tablet for $0.99 ($250 value). It'll use the data off of our cell plan for an extra $10 a month.

The phones will be delivered to my house with no need to go back to the AT&T store for the data conversion from our 4 to the 6. Does anyone know how to get all of the info safely off of my 4 (I don't believe I'm using the Cloud in any way)? I know I have to load the files to my computer, but have no idea how to go about that.

Any ideas or detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

All you have to do is do a full backup on your phone in iTunes -- plug the old phone into your computer, back up phone to the computer, not iCloud. After you are done, unplug the old phone from the computer and plug in the new phone, answer the trust questions and then do a restore from backup.

Should be good to go. It can take anywhere from 10-30 minutes depending upon how much stuff you have.

Be sure to reset the old phones when you are done with them so that you remove all of your data.

Just an update after two weeks of my 6.

I absolutely love it. I worked for Verizon for two years, so I have had my fair share of phones, iPhone 4, 4s, s4, s5, LG G2, G3, Note 3 and then to the 6. Its by far my favorite

I have had my six for a couple days now. Still iffy on the larger size. But everything else is awesome. I had my earphones plugged in and using voice to text with my friend. Amazing how quick it was dictating what I said, and going back to fix things.

Do You Have The "+", Bob? I Like The Larger Size For Photos & Surfing The Web. Just Seems It Would Be Cumbersome Holding "A Brick" To Your Ear & I Would Guess It's Too Big For A Shirt Pocket?

Here are the dimensions the S4, S5, 6 and 6+:

Galaxy S4 (5.38 x 2.75 x 0.31 in) 4.59 oz
Galaxy S5 (5.59 x 2.85 x 0.32 in) 5.11 oz
iPhone 6 (5.43 x 2.64 x .027 in) 4.55 oz
iPhone 6+ (6.23 x 3.06 x .028 in) 6.07 oz

The iPhone 6 is about the same size as the Galaxy phones and should fit in a shirt pocket OK. The 6+ is a bit taller and wider. I figure that it will be fine in my shirt pocket most of the time.

I went with the 6 Greg. The Plus would've just been way to big for me. I like to carry my phone in my pants pocket.

Will this also take care of pictures and apps? Or will I have to reload all of the apps?
