Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 19/9

How did you get it a day early??

I work for TM. Wasn't able to activate it as they are pretty strict on the 8am rule, they actually said don't open them until tomorrow but I couldn't bare waiting any longer :eek:

How did orange get it so wrong? They offered pre-orders way before O2, yet they will still get their handsets tomorrow!

To save a new thread maybe someone can help me!

I'm 7 months from upgrade with my 4, but it's really playing up so I need to get rid. If I bought a sim free 5 from apple, could/would orange supply me with the smaller simcard with my current contract details so i can use it straight away?

My 02 contract isn't due for renewal until Jan. Went in and they gave me a nano sim and swapped it over.

Orange are w*nkers >.<

I once tried to set up my credit card to add money to my phone. After the 5th attempt I made them delete everything and I gave up. A company who can't even get my information right in 5 attempts probably has no hope against even the most basic of hackers.

Can anyone explain what's wrong with adding google maps to the home screen? Just curious.
its less real estate, important when using maps, theres no compass, so using it to get to a meeting in london once out of the tube is not possible, its doesn't move around with your orientation, no gyroscope, so all the things that made the app great.

I've been using iOS 6 for months, the maps aren't as useful. Turn by turn is brilliant, the interface is perfect. But thats where it ends.
But on holiday i had to rely on an iOS 5 device to get me around SanFran, i think that says it all.

I hope apple approve a dedicated google maps app.

I'm pretty much fucked for getting round London now, lol.
 
Google maps http://www.macrumors.com/2012/09/20...ready-submitted-native-ios-maps-app-to-apple/

Also a statement from Apple:

"Customers around the world are upgrading to iOS 6 with over 200 new features including Apple Maps, our first map service," said spokeswoman Trudy Miller. "We are excited to offer this service with innovative new features like Flyover, turn by turn navigation, and Siri integration. We launched this new map service knowing it is a major initiative and that we are just getting started with it. Maps is a cloud-based solution and the more people use it, the better it will get. We appreciate all of the customer feedback and are working hard to make the customer experience even better."

1) typed in the wrong exp date on credit card because in a rush.
2) orange notice, call me, sort the problem. Great so far.
3) over 2 days later my order number still says there's a problem. And despite an email saying its been resolved I don't have a receipt summary email, nor have they taken the money from me.

The f**k, orange?

Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 19/9

if i backup my iPhone 4 to iTunes running iOS 5, then when i get my iPhone 5 do a restore from that backup, it'll bring everything back but on ios6 won't it, the restore from backup won't put iOS 5 on the iPhone 5 will it?

or is it best to set it up as a new iPhone and restore from iCloud, and then sun my music from iTunes as a new iPhone?

is there a limit to how many devices you can sun with a computer, as i am syncing 2 iPads, an iPhone and then another iPhone tomorrow?

thanks

Just checked mine and my girlfriends delivery address on their website. They are both completely wrong. It will be interesting to see if they arrive.

Yeah the back up doesn't affect the firmware, so it will just dump your profile over the new user profile on the 5.

No clue if there's a limit on the amount of devices you can sync, if there is though I'd have thought it would be substancially higher that four devices.

I don't think I'll get mine today. It's somewhere between Birmingham and Edinburgh just now.

Loving this one...please let it not be fake. (sometimes tube workers do have a sense of humour)

Incidentally apple's response:

Apple said:
"Customers around the world are upgrading to iOS 6 with over 200 new features including Apple Maps, our first map service," said spokeswoman Trudy Miller. "We are excited to offer this service with innovative new features like Flyover, turn by turn navigation, and Siri integration.

We appreciate all of the customer feedback and are working hard to make the customer experience even better."
Which is interesting, because unless they've started employing wizards and have developed minority report style technology, I have zero idea of how they will be able to fix these maps with "cloud sourced data", given that all they could possibly get from a handset is a GPS location, nothing more, nothing less.
