UK iPhone 5 thread

queue

the queue at Regent St still seems rather large if you're thinking about going there in person. There are about 250 people still being kept in Hanover Square on top of the queue from the store around the corner into Hanover Street. Really can't be bothered, think I'll wait until next week or hope that my 1st October delivery gets moved forward

:O

UPS just delivered my iPhone! I don't think many if any about will be around this area, but near Spilsby, Lincolnshire.

Two UPS guys, one handed me a weird shaped parcel and said.....what's wrong? (I was speechless) - then the other guy laughed and said naaah we can't do that to you - here's your iPhone!

I was in horror, funny though!

*Inserting obligatory photo below! *

Pmsl

Wonder how many people they have done that to today ?

 

[cperchard]

Anyone still waiting for theirs from UK Mail in Exeter area??

 

[iFreddie]

Just phoned CPWH and they said my order has been messed up with no status since the picking on 18th!!! they are calling me back.

Will I be best to go into a store and buy new contract and cancel current new contract they have messed up???

 

[Random hero]

Apart from screen size, are there any other improvements from the iphone 4 to the 5 screen??

Reason i ask is my screen seems so much clearer than it did before, I didnt expect it to look as good as it does

I think Orange have finally got their act together and are emailing and texting people

Sweet, i've still got nothing. On hold with Orange, they aim to answer within 2 hours!!

Posting from my white iP5, man this thing is beautifully made, very pleased I went white!

Cut a giffgaff sim down to nano and popped it in, was a bit nervous about the thickness but seems fine and works perfect.

Just restoring from last nights ip4 ios6 iCloud backup... Apps going back in nicely!

Good luck getting hold of a phone on a new contract mate, especially within the next 2 weeks!

I believe the glass is thinner therefore it's supposed to be a more clear view?

Yep, think we're about the last people in the flipping country to get it!

 

[massimiliano]

Tmobile

not sure if this is the same for everyone but i DIDNT get a text or email about delivery but there was a card saying delivery attempted, through my door

 

[lellis2k]

after calling Orange again, this time they're saying mine is scheduled for delivery on Monday Not cool after having ordered as early as I did.

 

[enophi1]

Here you go guys,

Iphone 5 vs Iphone 4s ... Box. lol.


I haven't opened mine yet, I wanted to prolong it at least until tonight when I have some peace and quiet and time to myself.

 

[Libitina]

I have my lovely new phone but I think I've broken Siri already


eta: Oh and I managed to drop my phone straight out of the box before I even touched it, d'oh! It's fine though, no damage, thank goodness.

 

[marcococo]

This is really taking the piss now! 04:57PM and I still don't have my iPhone!

 

[toondw]

[vgopal]

EC2V, UPS, Delivered. No damage.

Heres hoping the driver is on his way to me now!!

I think people are overloading the Siri servers with their launch-day playing.
