    I upgraded from iphone 4 to 5s recently. This phone is really great and with the time I had to wait to purchase gold version of 5s, I would say it was worth it.

    First smartphone and as I have an iPad Air it was very easy to set up and use. I love the camera it takes very clear pictures and also the fact that it gives the location of where the photo was taken at.

    I had an old flip phone and I'm still playing around with this one, but it's pretty easy to figure it out. I got an open box item, with 200 dollars gift card, so the phone was free... great BB deal!

    It would be nice if it wasn't so expensive to buy and I want the battery to easily last all day, not be getting low battery alerts by the afternoon when I still have a few more hours of stuff to do.

    I think this product is the best! It is for a person who is simple and does not need all the fancy apps that are so complicated to use. My phone does everything that it needs to without the hassles.

    I had been using iphone 5 from past 1.5 year and bought this one for my brother and he is loving his new phone. Apple has just improvised on the earlier version and came up with a wonderful phone.

    Battery and camera are amazing on this phone, but the price compared to the regular iPhone 5 should be around the same. The finger print scanner gets really annoying, so keeping it off is better

    Finally had to replace my old iPhone which was basic in nature, didn't really think I needed finger print scanner technology or SIRI, but it adds to ease of use and its just plain cool stuff.

    Even with the iPhone 6 out, this is still a REALLY good choice and now an inexpensive one! If you have people who are new to smart phones or looking to add lines to your plan for family members, this is a really good choice. It brings the best of Apple (as of last year) and for only $99 (some carriers might even give it for free depending on promotions). Again, definitely recommended!

    I purchased the Gold iPhone 5S on sale. The price was under $130 at the time and best offer I could find for upgrade when phone first appeared on market. I use Siri a lot on this phone, which is phenomenal as it saves time on writing, as well as viewing time when I am in the car. I can do many things hands-free, including texting. I had been due for an upgrade for a few years but not being a very "techie" person and frugal, I held off until my other phone died. I have been extremely satisfied with BestBuy service (better than AT&T store, hands down). I highly recommend keeping a watch on BestBuy offers, as you can bypass your carrier and get better deals and service.
