"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.

Want to stay on top of the latest news and rumors to know when to buy the iPhone 5? Decide's new iPhone feed aggregates and helps you track the latest news and rumors on the iPhone 5. To support its recommendations, Decide has included a "No Regrets Filter" that allows shoppers for the first time to filter only to products recommended to buy now, which indicates that prices are not likely to drop soon and that a new model is not coming soon.

Simply visit Decide.com and search for iPhone, or follow @d_iPhone on Twitter to be one of the first to know when to buy the iPhone 5 and get all the latest news and rumors.
