Same here. Im not even using an iPhone anymore and went with a Note 2. I hope the next iPhone and iOS offer more. I'll be back but not to the 5.
Got a tip for us?

Everything other than call quality: 10/10
Call quality: 0/10
From garbled, robotic, auto-tuned voices to the sensation my brain is being sucked out of my ear while driving, the call quality is worse than any phone I've ever owned. Using a BT headset while the phone is in my pocket? Can't understand a damn word.

I'd say 9/10.
The only problem I've had is how easy it is to get scratches on it. The device itself is great.

Disagree with all of the above. Also upgraded from 4, and I consider the differences to be significant.

9/10. Better battery life and a better keyboard would make it a 10 (not sayings its a bad battery but its not petfect). Some of my favorites changes that seldom get mentioned: way better speaker over i4; better microphones over 4, and no more face dials and hangups in middle of conversations.
6 to 7/10
I have one annoying problem which is can't get used to for already 2 weeks.
I don't like home button.
How to say it? Well, "press feel" is not as solid as in my old 4s.
Also it is not flush with front panel, it's a little reccesed and when i press it i feel sharp edges. I read that in US some people had their phones replaced over this, but here where i live (Moscow) i'm sure there is no chance.
My 4s had perfect home button.
Also, i think images taken by 5 are a little darker than those taken by 4S.
It' only noticable when taking picture indoors, evening light, in daytime they're probably on par...
