My 32GB black Verizon model is flawless. I thought I had a spot, but it turned out to be a speck of dust. No issues thus far. So happy to make Verizon my new mobile provider. Preordering was smooth, and my service thus far is light years beyond AT&T. And I can't get over how crazy thin, light and fast this sucker is!
 
I thought mine was flawless until I saw juiced's speeds. AT&T sucks for me as usual...even on LTE.

*raises fist in air* CURSE YOU AT&T!! :mad:

Love it:D
And these speeds below are sweet.

Mine is flawless :D

Edit: Right after this post I tested LTE again....2x any previous tests...but still 1/2 of juiced's post. :(
 
Mine is too, but unfortunately I'm sending it back.

Just found out my dog has cancer in his paw, surgery/oncology will be in the $3-5k range... plan with Verizon + phone for 2 years is just north of $3k.

Looks like I'm going to pick up a Galaxy Nexus from Google and try the TMobile $30 prepaid unlimited internet plan, which with a little hassle will get me most of the way there taking into account hassle/utility for 1/3 the price (I mostly need a phone for internet/tethering/gps/texting, and while not ideal VOIP service will take up the slack). Fortunately in the major areas of San Diego TMobile and Verizon appear to compare favorably in speed and reception if you have a device that takes advantage of all their bands.

As cool and fast and awesome and elegant as it is, I just can't in good faith spend $120'ish/month on cell service right now. :( Guess this will allow me to check out the other side for awhile (coming from an iPhone 4 so the GNex is still about twice as fast as that). I figure it will be some time before the dust settles for the unlocked version to be readily available, and the whole nano-sim thing seems like it's coming but I'd rather just purchase a cheaper phone and sit and wait to see how the iP5 fares with TMob... may come back to the fold toward the end of the year.

32GB Black. Tried every feature. Speed is unbelievable. Battery is great and it charges really fast just like my previous 4S. Unit is flawless.
 
wow where are you at?

ATT in my area of So Cal is only getting 8 dl and 6 up



My 32gb black i received on Friday was also immaculate with no scratches or marks

New England area.
But I saw others in different parts of the country get even faster than that.
Not like it would make any difference from 15-20mb but it is nice for bragging:D
 
I love mine except the battery life seems a bit low, though I've been using all LTE. I'm only getting about 4-5 hours of constant LTE, that's not bad compared to my old Bionic but it's well below Apple's quoted figures.

I'm getting about 15 here. I'm content. It's wicked fast.


Oh. And flawless white 64gb here. ;)

Hope everything goes fine with your dog :)
 
Love this thread.

Got a black iPhone 5 delivered on launch day at 9:30am. It looks great, works great, and I am looking forward to using it for the next year!

You might want to get it checked out. I've been using mine a LOT today...it's 11pm and I still have 73%---Engadget and another reviewer both performed run down tests and ended up with 11 hours + with looped HD video, WiFi enabled, BlueTooth, etc etc. pretty incredible. I've noticed significantly better length than my 4s

My white 64GB I'd also in perfect working order. Wifi works as advertised, LTE is absolutely unreal. I'm very VERY happy with this one.

Best. Yet!
 
Mine is perfect, 32gb black, just got ghost armor put on at the mall, and got a case, the ghost armor looks excellent by the way.
 
64 GB AT&T, all looks great and working perfectly! Had no problem boxing up my 4S to ship out that I sold on EBay instant sale...while the 4S was good, it isn't in the same league as the 5 ! No issues at all here

64gb At&t, and it's perfect. Everything runs so quick. Exterior hardware is immaculate.
