Oh this is tedious. Normally I'm not that bothered, but stupidly logged on here: seeing everyone else get their phones only makes me impatient.

Still awaiting on UK Mail. Left the Slough depot at 8:10 this morning. I'm only 7 miles away, where is it??? 
And they have started popping up on the 'bay for silly money!

Mine arrived about an hour ago.
White 16gb - love the iCloud stamp on the bottom of the box. Sexy!
Loving the phone. No issues with the screen from what I can see. I know some of you noticed a tinge of green / yellow? Mine looks just like my 4 did...
One thing I really really hate - is they have changed the 'iPod' app, and its icon to the 'Music' app - with a musical note. I HATE IT.
Whhhyyyyy did they do that?!
I know its really minimal and silly but I hate it. And my eye is drawn to it ha.
Aside from that- brilliant! Told Siri I loved 'him' and he said "Oh, Stop!"
Hehe!

Yep. Got the txt message from them too, couple of minutes after the chap left - certainly before he would have had time to get back to the depot.
To those whose packages are getting sent by UKMail/Syncreon (nope never heard of Syncreon either!) are getting worried - don't worry - their trackers aren't an accurate reflection of the current status.
The tracker for me was stuck on "collected" until about 11.15am this morning so I was getting worried. It updated then to "Out for delivery" at which point my phone turned up 5 mins later! All the scanning etc. had taken place at around 8 this morning so there was a 3 hour delay in updating.
Bizarrely, over 2 hours after delivery, my phone is still showing as out for delivery.
It seems that their systems are taking some time to update so don't worry!

not happy
will be getting my white 4s replaced
it has glass seperation issues on the front and the back, i can even fit my fingernail between the glass and the rim its that bad. and on the front theres a bulge on the left side where the plastic rim has come away from the glass!

Got mine in the UK, however rather ticked with Siri being gimped. Ah well normal for Apple really to avoid telling us of limitations.
Anyways I am suited by it, but will be keeping "AroundMe" for a little longer
They didn't avoid tellings us. They mentioned during the keynote that it would be limited out side the US and that it was still in the beta stage.
First impressions: SO glad I got the white, although it is noticeably "cream" coloured in comparison to the bright white box.
Siri is great fun, but not very useful yet in terms of looking for things around me.
Camera is superb!
I came from an iP4 so obviously there's very little physical difference, but I've been really impressed with iCloud so far, it's awesome to be able to have music i buy on my phone pushed back to everything else.
Wifi Syncing is really cool.
How exactly do I use my iCloud space? I have 5gb and no idea how to store stuff in it. Can I use it like dropbox?
I have this problem where my apple ID is an old old old .mac address which no longer works - its just an ID. I don't want to start a new one because I've used it for so long and bought so much stuff with it.
I was kinda hoping with iCloud and all the changes that my .mac address might start working as an email address again but it doesn't. I'm actually really confused about how to actually utilise it to it's full capability. But thats for another thread.
