Decide also enables shoppers to "follow" the iPhone to get the latest news and rumors on the upcoming iPhone 5 launch from hundreds of sources including CE manufacturers and expert news services like CNET, Engadget, Gizmodo, MacRumors and others. Now shoppers can use the power of Decide's price and model prediction technologies plus news aggregation to purchase phones with no regrets. "Like wristwatches a generation ago, mobile phones are the gadget status symbol of our age and making a bad purchase decision can be devastating," said Mike Fridgen, CEO of Decide.com. "Shoppers can now check Decide.com to know when to buy phones before getting stuck with that two-year contract." In a survey conducted by Decide, almost half of all consumers stated they would wait five months for a new model of a phone to be released – the longest "willingness to wait" of any CE product category. Decide is currently recommending wait on thirty top-selling phones because there is a newer model available or a new model predicted to arrive soon.
