UK iPhone 5 thread

Sucks Vodafone won't have 4G

Will be getting the 5 but not until dec when my contract runs out

from Friday this thread will just be updates of peoples order statuses and who's has shipped/who's hasn't.

02, Orange's 3g is crap for when LTE isn't available (which it won't be outside of cities for about 2 years) where as next year the other operators will be able to upgrade pretty much straight away. 02 it is for me.

Question is, how exactly do you go about pre-ordering an EE iPhone? Anybody?

more importantly how long will the 1st batch of pre orders last for, i remember for the iphone 4 a fre hours went and it all jumped to 3 weeks waiting time for delivery..


mind you as they said, other countrys will get their phones faster then before after UK/USA etc maybe they have stock piled.. could be a good sign,

hopefully the sim free pricing structure remains the same, dont want to see another price hike for the 64Gb....699 is enough.

What time do preorders usually start in the uk?

On Voda, due an upgrade but clearly tempted by the EE offer. Got a few days to mull it over, as there's nowt on the Voda website about pricing structure yet.

Seems the Edu store is already showing pricing, the regular one isn't.

Yeah, I'd really like to know two things:

What time should pre orders go live for us in the UK?

And how would we go about getting an EE iPhone so we can benefit from 4G?

£529 sim free.

am i the only one just sticking with the 4s for another year?

i like the bigger screen but not enough to pay £229 for it. (i can get £300 from orange for the 4s)

im pleased to be honest, because i am a sucker for buying the "new" apple thing but i recon i can easily hold off on this one!

Bit of a cheeky bump in price, isn't it?

i can see the 32gb being £700 now =[

QUESTION: Is the iPhone 5 available on Vodafone on standard 3G? And when Voda get 4G will your phone be automatically updated with it?

Thanks

Wow £529...

The Lightning/30pin adapter is £22 quid as well. Costly this time round!

Just spent 20 minutes on hold with Orange to be told they don't know what a nano-sim is

LTE seems to be world compatible, so when the rest of our networks get their spectrum it should work.

I'm buying unlocked 64gb off the store. Currently with Three, monthly rolling. Will probably stick with them for a bit, unless EE has truly unlimited unthrottled data like Three - going to faster but limited data is a downgrade IMO.

I presume the 64gb will be £699.99 or have I missed something? I'll be F5ing the store from the wee hours on Friday

Just hope Three are on the ball with nano sims, although saying that, so long as I get the 5 on launch day, nano sim prepared or not, I'll be happy.

Upgrading from a 4, so this is a nice upgrade.

Was only going to get the 5 if it was a massive upgrade which it isn't at all to me.

I'll be sticking with my SGS3 and 4S, and that £30 increase doesn't help either.

If anything the new iPod Touch has impressed me a ******** more than the 5.
