MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
didnt arrive today, useless arseholes ..........
I'm most impressed with DPD. Got a text at 9am saying they'd deliver between 13.43&14.43
They turned up at 13.46.
That's how a courier should be.
Full screen browsing is nice....
People often ask why bother Jailbreaking an iPhone, and it's stuff like having had full screen browsing, with gestures, for the last year.
Good to see apple finally implementing it, though.
Reserved mine in the Three shop on Monday, expected available date for October 1st... Not a problem at all, I wanted the 32 not the 16 and was prepared to wait.
Got a message to say it was already in stock today so went and picked it up! 🙂
Not played with it much yet, but it's only a tiny bit longer (not enough to worry about), it's nice and light, and I get a much better signal (and download speed) on Three than I did with O2 on my iPhone 4...
So pretty happy so far!
It is bloody light. 114g v 140g for the 4. & quick.
Does anyone else's vibrate slightly if you move your fingers on the back of the phone whilst holding in your hand and charging at the same time?
I sold my 4s last week and used my spare phone (old Sony) after 2 hours I realised just how much I use and missed my iPhone, I was going to per order but I put it off and in the space of an hour the wait went up from a week to 2 week, I got up yesterday and went to the Metro Centre and collected a White 32gb.
I'm very happy with the new phone and love how lite it is, I just turned it on put in my password and everything from texts emails call logs where there from my old phone so setup couldn't be more easy.
Sent from my iPhone 5
Which one is Godzilla?

Ohh, my Youtube app didn't copy over for some reason, so I downloaded it again, and that looks like an iOS/iP5 specific app now. Different....
Youtube is a separate App now for IOS6.
My wife wants new iphone after the battery turned to shite on her current one (for the second time)
DO we know owt about battery life in the new ones yet ?
and I get a much better signal (and download speed) on Three than I did with O2 on my iPhone 4...
It has better antennae and tweaks to other firmware and software to increase network speed. I suspect they also improved on O2 too!
Just doing the sums to see if I can afford a 5 without increasing the contract price. Maybe next month.
Which one is Godzilla?
Im a bit behind that lol, about half a mile 😉
Took a bit longer than the 4s launch as everyone wanted a new nano sim.

so far so good on my new network - Three - The 3G is noticeably faster than O2.
That's because '3' have the largest 3G network in the UK....i have been with 02 in the past and found that network great for call coverage but it's data coverage was poor, conversely '3' isn't so great for call coverage but my phone seems to always have a data connection...the unlimited data on '3' is great too, it's about 80Gb in reality which you'll never get through whereas most of the other networks state unlimited data and then this turns out to be only 1Gb for the month....i usually usually around 3Gb per month so '3' seemed the obvious choice for a smartphone network.
...the unlimited data on '3' is great too, it's about 80Gb in reality
Actually the all you can eat data plan is 1TB "fair usage"
Actually, no it is not. On 3, they specifically state their is no fair usage policy and even quote that they would support a user downloading 10000GB in a month. Yes, 10000.
from the 3 website....
"Even if you used your phone for every minute of every day you could only possibly use, subject to traffic management requirements and policy, up to 1000GB each month. So in a sense, there is a data limit of up to 1000GB, which is based on what you can physically use."
1000, not 10,000
Ohhh I suspect the postman did try to post your phone, he just went to the wrong county or country for that matter..
Seems he's using the new maps on his iP5.
"s****ing"
So as someone still using the original 2g iPhone, will I notice much difference? 😉 it is getting sloooow.
Think I will make the jump to the 5 but undecided on a contract or get the phone from apple payg. I don't use the phone/ text much but lots of web. At the mo I pay £20 for 6 months web with t- mobile on my payg.
Presumably have to go to a phone shop to get a new nano sim with my current phone number?
MM
Sorry spuddle, I was wrong, it is 1000GB. Either way, it is not a limit any of are likely to hit any time soon!!

Right, time to decide after playing with a Note, and reading the press on the iphone maps/ios6 etc, I'm tempted by an S3.
S3 or iphone 5 then?
what was wrong with the note, kryton ?
(note, or note 2 ?)
So as someone still using the original 2g iPhone, will I notice much difference? it is getting sloooow.
It'll be a revelation compared to a 2g. It's quite a noticeable jump from a 4
S3 or iphone 5 then?
Having played with an S3 and owned a iPhone 5 since yesterday, the difference in feel and build quality is massive. S3 feels cheap and plasticky in comparison.
As for iOS vs android, that comes down purely to personal preference.
My 5 keeps dropping the WiFi home connection (Netgear wireless router) and doesn’t remember the password, requiring me to repeatedly input it manually - which is a big pain in the first world balls. I’ve reset the network settings but it’s not resolved the problem. Is it a bug in the iOS?
I haven't had any issues with mine but that's because IT HASN'T BEEN DISPATCHED YET!!!!
Cheers mbr30 - I'll give it a go.
No issues at all with wifi on mine. Solid as a rock on Virgin.
I have to say the so far, I'm very impressed with Three as a network too. I've not been too far so can't comment on coverage but the 3G is a lot faster than O2

Or cut your own

mbr30 - Not worked 😥
PP - I'm also on Virgin with a Netgear router. There's no problem with my other devices staying connected - definitely iOS6 based problem that's grating now. What was that I said about being 'dependable' 😯 😀

Same router here.
Try your router settings. Mine is set to one channel, rather than 'automatic' selection. I'm sure that was the fix when I had problems.
My black 16GB was delivered covered in scratches and scuffs.
Googled it turns out scuffgate is the new antennagate.
Not happy, taking mine back for the white version.
The white one is rather tarty. I've had 2 black ones and decided to change this time.
Picked mine up this morning. Had ordered it from car phone warehouse at meadowhall which is next door to the apple shop. Smugly walked past the queue of people there and was walking out with it 5 minutes later.
It's soooo much faster than the 3GS it replaces. Full screen browsing in landscape is great too.
Very nice to use.
Just tested my 3G connection speed:
7mb/sec download and 2mb/sec upload. I reckon that's a bit quick!
2nd test at 6.3/2.7
Best I ever had on O2 was 1.75/1.5
Nowt to do with the phone (I imagine) but Three seem to be ace.
I was also having issues with my netgear router.
Can't get anything from my main network even though connected, WPA2 password.
But it works fine on my guest network with WEP.
Hmmm, just set it to auto http as in mbr30's link & now it's working on both.
Edit, & now it won't again. Can't be bothered fiddling with the router, so I'll just stick to the guest network.
Only found out the beginning of last week you could pre-order online with O2, you couldn't with the 4, then discovered that Simplicity users couldn't pre-order! Bugger! No way I could get the time off to go into town and queue, so I rode into town at 3.30 after work and wandered into the O2 shop to find out when some more iP5's would be in, walked out twenty minutes later with a white 64Gb one! I was chuffed 😀
I love the camera, the first photo I took today:

How do you set up a guest WEP network?
It's under wireless settings.
Set it up with a new name & WEP password. It'll generate an 8 digit key. I keep the SSID hidden since it's just for my old G4 iMac.
Make sure you make the phone forget your main network, or it'll keep hooking into it.
For the curious among you, what an iPhone 5 looks like with its clothes off:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPhone-5-Teardown/10525/1
Anyone had problems with scratches or the anodizing rubbing off? I've got a black one on the way and can't tell if the reports of it easily scratching is actually a problem or just people looking for issues.
No Issues with anodising here, but mine does have the yellow tint to the screen which is disappointing- its also having issues with a couple of email addresses where it keeps asking me for the password. Doesn't feel like a big step up from iPhone 4 (compared to the big change from iPhone 3 to iPhone 4)
Cosmetically mine is perfect. I did get a cheap case off eBay though and it went straight in, and also a screen protector.
