Camped out overnight at apple store for my 32g space grey. Never considered silver or gold, and expected the grey to be close to my slate 5. I was excited for the phone, but not really for the color. I wanted a black face and that was my only option. I knew I would like it, but the color of the phone wasn't really a feature I was excited about.
I walked into the store and purposely made an effort not to look at the display phones on either side of me. I wanted my first real look at the phone to be when my box was opened in front of me. When the sales guy opened the box and pulled out the phone I was blown away. It was so damn sleek and beautiful. It looked so familiar, yet so different.
Apple hit a gran slam with this phone. From top to bottom. It's the biggest and best "S" upgrade to date. And iOS 7 was just a lot of icing on the cake. Totally, 100% satisfied.
