    I have a question if someone could answer. Ive always somehow had an upgrade available on my account and would always be able to get the contracted price for $299 (I go with the 32 gigs). This time around, I do not have an upgrade available. What is the price for an iphone 32gig without a contract? And Am I able to preorder it through Apples website or do I have to buy it at verizon's website without a contract?

    Im just making sure I know all the facts before today so I can preorder. Im gettings this phone, Im just unsure how to buy it without a contract.

    Since you are ineligible for an upgrade at the subsidized price (i.e. $299), you must simply buy the iPhone 5 for full price and you can use it with your existing plan just fine. It doesn't matter where you purchase the phone, so feel free to pre-order it from Apple's website or through Verizon Wireless. You could also buy it online from AT&T and Sprint at the stroke of midnight tonight, since you are buying the phone for full price and won't have to make any commitment to their networks. Good luck! :)

    P.S. - I believe the iPhone 5 in 32GB costs $799 at full price.

    I'm on Verizon with an upgrade, should I order from the Apple site or the VerizonWireless site? Does it make a difference?

    Order through Verizon to get the subsidized (lower) price that your upgrade entitles you to.

    You're lucky you can get it for $800! The bottom line model for New Zealand will be around $1200.

    Than stay on your 4S. It's still a top smartphone and will be for at least another year.
    Though I don't know much about other states' contract conditions but I guess you don't get an update offer because you still have about one year left on contract. Then just wait another year for the iPhone 5S (guessing).
