Bad news for those of you who like to rub your keys on your phone
Case is the only answer IMO.
Apple should have gone for a glass back again and a non painted bezel.

I thought about this, but storage for iCloud is only 5GB and i have about 14GB worth of data on the 4 that i want on the 5!

That screen shot is the old weather app, but it has changed.
Before you would have to tap on the current day to get the hourly breakdown, now it's there to scroll with all the time. (You'll understand If you look
)Im loving the new 5
I would imagine losing the glass back has helped with being thinner and lighter.

5gb is for free space but you can buy more i think.
I had 12GB on my iPhone 4S. iCloud did it all for me. I've not plugged mine in and I didn't buy more.
It's also going to save 50% of breakages (In theory)

Got to play with one this morning and I'm amazed, ok so yeah it's not all that revolutionary from previous models but my god does it look and feel good. Soooo light it's actually unbelievable, still undecided on which looks better though but there will be a some white ones knocking about next week so I'll be able to decide then. Properly jealous as I sit here with my 4 like a tramp.

Not seeing that personally, but you're a simple Southerner so things like fire still seem like huge jumps in technology.

Obviously this comment will invite some sort of island-dweller jibe but I don't think he's far wrong.

This could be worth a shout. Get 2 for the price of one with Apple

Did you just almost agree with me?
The look, the feel, how it performs is completely different. I was dubious whilst watching the key notes but when the thing is in your hand it doesnt feel anything like the previous models and not just because of the size increase.
I'm glad I upgraded to the 5 but I can see why some people would feel it's not worth upgrading from a 4s.
It runs alot faster than the previous model and the screen quality is a massive difference. I'm still trying to get use to the size of the screen. I have to re-adjust how I'm holding the phone to reach things at the top of the screen haha.

I haven't tried the 5 but it must be a MASSIVE leap forward from the 4s to surpass the advance that happened from the 3GS to 4s.

S'il vous plaît, comme si je ne suis que predicatble! Vous ridicule Français, comme si quelqu'un s'attend à ce que vous soyez d'accord avec les Anglais.
I'm not saying that the 5 isn't a big improvement over the 4 or even the 4S, it's silly quick to any previous model, but I just don't think it compares at all in the technological jump from the 3GS to 4. That was like going from a 386 to an i7. Is it worth upgrading from the 4 or 4S, yes without doubt just for the faster processor, increased RAM and screen size - I can however see why the none geeks or people that aren't powerusers would be under whelmed.

Or because you're northern (You asked me not to call you a pikey again) and you're just jealous you cant get one? Most likely.
Right, my thoughts, which people will not agree!
Speed for me is marginally quicker than a 4s running iOS6, but nothing that blows the 4s away.
Too light for me, I like the nice firm weight of the 4S.
Screen is a nice size, other than that I don't see any differences.
The wife is happy with it which is the main point! But I'm sticking with my 4S.

I think things have just reached a point now where the changes get more subtle on each generation, people who upgrade to each and every model, and then the S models in between either have too much money to burn or are just hardcore apple geeks...
I got my 4 on launch day...which was a big leap from my 3G, but I have to be honest...the 4S didn't interest me at all... I only changed to the 5 as I felt I wanted something different to look at and use, 27 months is a long time to keep a phone! A day later, and in hindsight... I can't say I'm excited about having a 5, Yes the camera is a big improvement and it looks nice but if I could go back and not pre-order one then I probably would just keep the 4 going another year.
Maybe I'm just getting older, but there seems more exciting things to spend my money on these days

I was jealous of the 4S but not the 5, although that's more because I've made the decision this time not to buy and instead spend the money on stuff for my new gaff instead of contractual reasons. So no, the reasoning is because I'm not a r****d and can make a solid argument to back up my opinion. Plus my 4, now I've fixed it an made it pretty and white, works flawlessly so I'll just get the 5S (or whatever it's called).
Now just admit that you're a technotard impressed by new shiny things and not the actual technology itself, so that we can all get on with our lives.

Walked into O2 store whilst in town today just on the off chance that they had some in.
Walked out with a 32GB black, last one in store.
First impression, this thing needs a case otherwise it'll get covered in marks.
Mine has a few already straight out the box. Usual Apple quality control at work still I see.

TBH you can be geek and be underwhelmed by it. There isn't anything particularly impressive at all about it. Its the software that wins it. For me at least

Ok issues so far..
The screen seems very unresponsive to me? And the sound of typing is delayed?
The wifi signal seems very poor and iMessage seems much slower.
Anyone else think the same?

Am I missing something? You can buy these for £30 direct from Apple.
This guy is selling them on a pre-order basis and is making a fortune!

I ordered the 7.95 one that was posted a while ago, worth a punt for that price.
Hardly a fortune. Take away eBay / paypal fees at around the £6 mark. He will make around £4 each.. Not bad but not a great
