Got my 5 replaced yesterday. It's nice having a working sleep/wake button again. I swear I can type better on this one as well, but that'll probably just be in my head.

Mate i thought the same?

The lack of a sleep button done my f**king boobies right in!

I posted - back in Sept/Oct - that I was sure that there was an issue with the keyboard on my original 5. I just seemed to be hitting the wrong keys and typing utter crap. I could never type as fast as on my previous 4. But with this 5, I'm back to typing just as fast. Who knows, but I - personally - think there was maybe an issue there.

Yeah I think this could be the case with me as well! Seems much easier to type the right thing first time now!!
 
I'm getting great battery performance from mine. I last charged it on Saturday evening. It's been running on battery ever since, and is showing 73%. I don't turn it off at night, either.
 
You use another phone to ring, browse the Internet then?

No. I've taken a few calls and maybe a dozen texts in that time. Obviously with heavy use the battery would be impacted. But I'm realistic and don't expect something for nothing. With moderate use, and used as a phone, the battery life is great. If used as a computer with a 3" battery then obviously it won't last so long.

Couple of weeks tops. I should stress that I use it as a phone only. I very rarely use it as an internet communicator, and I don't play games on it.

Yeah I think my biggest battery killer is I'm allways on the Internet. Phone on charge every night isn't an issue. Bring back Nokia battery life with iPhone technology lol

Avg usage I'd say:

Also guys letting apps run in the background will shag your batt, if your phone is just laying on your desk at work turn off 3-4G when not in use.

Mine's broke, charging port is goosed. Genius bar for tomorrow.

Another one, wonder if this is a common problem?

Make sure you say you have more than one cable as they will try and blame that first! My new one snaps in nice and tight again now

I sell cables at work and have tried about 20.

Might as well bin it...

I hammer mine every day. 18% from fully charged at 7 this morning. Good times. Who cares though. It's no biggie to charge it every night.

Mine goes from 100% down around to 3% pretty much everyday with around 7hrs usage and 15hrs standby.

Mine is fixed, was a massive piece of fluff inside my phone :S, guy took it apart and it was fine.

Ahhh see I also told them it had a dodgy sleep button (it didn't) lol which is a known fault and a guarenteed replacement..

My old one hardly had any black left round the edges!

Didn't the 'genius' try to 'test' the phone, the hassle I got last month when having my misses 64gb 5 replaced for various issues was unreal.

Can't be bothered to go back through the thread but, would it be worth upgrading from an iPhone 4S to an iPhone 5? Might have the chance to upgrade in around 2 months, so just thinking ATM lol

Personally I'd say no as there will be an iPhone 5s later this year..
