Based on your riveting and informative review, I'll go put this crappy iPhone 5 up on eBay today. Thank you! I'm so glad you felt compelled to post your recommendation for an android phone in a thread discussing the new iPhone. If you hadn't, I never would have figured out how I've been wrong for so long. :rolleyes:

Seeing as though I was responding to Big Bert, who was wondering about the Iphone 5 vs the Galaxy S3, and I was giving him encouragement to check it out before making a decision, your snide and belittling response was rather uncalled for.

Snide? Maybe. Belittling? That's being a bit dramatic. But okay, my apologies. I'm sure Big Bert benefited from your objective comparison of the two phones.

Got the phone Friday. So far I love it. Had a 4. I love Siri. My wife and has the 4s And I've been jeleous. I live how fast it is too. As a side note the new iOS really sped up the camera. It's lightening fast. Anyone else notice this?

My Wife and I were at the Mall today, so we stopped at the Apple Store. No thank you. Feels way too tall to be comfortable for me. Not a fan at all, especially with how happy I am with my 4s.

Glad you that ordered it are enjoying them, though.

I'm really liking the iPhone 5 so far, it feels much lighter in hand and the bigger screen is really nice.

Got my phone in yesterday, played with it for about 10 minutes and then the home button is going whacko on me, Siri popping up, pictures randomly taken, voice control turning on and off. Getting it replaced shortly, but for the first 10 minutes of playing with it, this phone is badass. Amazing how LTE is faster than my wifi at home!

Its funny iphone people keep saying this... I guess the samsung commercial hits home when they say "yeah.. we've had 4G for a while" lol... :r

Shoot even on my TMO G2 I get 4-5x the speed of my home DSL and its a 2+ year old phone!

I was pleasantly surprised as well. Even more so that LTE has been added and so far there hasn't been a negative impact on my battery life. I'm still able to go an entire day without charging my phone.

I like to call it a "Taller" screen, haha. Does it feel larger? I can't wrap my head around a taller screen without widening it. Taki's should land soon and I intend to break it before making up my mind.

I think it still feels very nice in hand, the screen is "taller" but the overall size of the phone is still comfortable in hand and in the pocket.

Because they decreased the size of the bezel, the screen got larger but the phone is not that much taller. I personally don't even notice the size different that often except on apps that require more scrolling (facebook, mail, safari, twitter), and the only reason I notice it there is because I was used to how much of the content was visible in my iPhone 4. It, so far, has actually been a nice improvement of being able to see more messages, emails, posts, tweets, etc. I was not a fan of increasing the screen size, so though how Apple increased the size of the phone was a good compromise. However, people that want a big screen will still likely not be satisfied if they didn't like the size of the iPhone 4

Is there a way to post pictures from the iPhone/iPad to the forum? I'm sure I'm setting myself up for some anti-Apple people to poke fun if we can't.

You can upload a photo as an attachment using either an existing photo or taking a new one.

I had an intersting experience today.

I am due for an upgrade on Nov 20 and stopped by the ATT store to see if there was any flexibility on early upgrade and how long they anticipate stock to be in store.

The ATT store in my area is doing a sales blitz on the new ATT U-Verse home internet and apparantly they are motivated.

I had no intention of subscribing, but the guy explained that if I did, he would order my iPhone 5 TODAY and I should have it in 2-3 weeks.

They didn't hold any payment for the U-Verse and it was in the contract that I can cancel any time before installation with no fee and the phone will still be shipped.

After looking at the fiber optic cable speeds and savings over my bundled Brighthouse package, I may actually go with the U-Verse, but at least have a phone on the way.

I am in sales and extremely skeptical, but went over the contract with a microscope and it was definitely legitimate in the cancellation policy.

floydpink 10-02-2012 03:17 PM

Re: iPhone 5
 
After a couple hours, I decided to cancel the Uverse but have a confirmation that my phone is processing and will ship in 14-21 days, so I'm not sure how much time I knocked off my Nov 21 upgrade date besides the obvious 30 or so.

If history is a guide, they will be easy to find in stock by then.

Not an intentionally sleazy move, I just want to wait until they bundle cable into the package

Verizon users, Apple rolled out an update for Verizon-specific iPhone 5's. Apparently there was something going on with data being used when it should not be. Take a peak and get it fixed.
