Went to Manchester Arndale today
Queue outside the store for iPhone 5, about 2pm and they've sold out of 32gb Black, so I get 64gb Black instead
Then downstairs I bump into a Ghost Armor stand who are handily doing iPhone 5 skins, so got it all skinned up straight out of the box
Leaving it 24 hours to let the bubbles settle down but considering I'm upgrading from iPhone 2G...Beautiful phone! As soon as I picked up the demo unit in store I knew I was buying it!
Wish I had someone do mine. I managed to **** up BOTH SGP screen protectors this morning. What a waste of £15 that was. Not even gonna bother with one now.
Got mine delivered yesterday.
One thing I have noticed is a little red light near the proximity sensor. It's only visible in the dark. For example just know whilst I'm lying down in the dark I can see it. Anyone have any ideas what it could be?
I do remember the proximity sensor issues with ios 4.1 I think? Could it be related? May call apple tmrw to enquire..

That is the proximity sensor. It did the same on my iPhone 4 and is perfectly normal. It uses that infrared light to measure the distance between the phone and another surface, in this case, the side of your face.
Should be expecting my 32GB white iPhone 5 on Monday, but I'm having second thoughts on the contract I have gone for. Definitely want to go for either Orange or T-Mobile so that I can transfer onto EE for 4G.
Went for the £51 extra tariff on Orange with the handset costing £39.99. I'm now thinking about dropping down to the £46 or even £41 tariff paying £89.99 and £139.99 for the handset respectively.
The problem I have is that I was made to pay a £50 deposit which I have been told I will get back on my fourth bill. Does anybody know whether I would get it back if I chose to change contracts?
The thinking behind my choice was to have the unlimited data usage, which would come in useful for when 4G comes along.
What do you guys think?

Should be no problem changing tariffs regardless of deposits, personally I think vodafones 12 month options are best if you work out the total costs. I was going to move for the 4G but was told that once vodafone and 02 get 4G, theres will be considerably faster than ee due to buying better bands something to do with ee have used some of there old 2g spectrum to get the 4g, so apparantly vodafone will get the ultra fast stuff, so I dont mind waiting.
I'm hearing that when vodafone and O2 finally get 4G (suggested to be late next year) it will not be compatible with the iPhone 5, as it will be running on a different frequency.

Didnt realise, oh well vodas 3G is rapid anyway and by the time the 5S comes out vodafones 4G will be live
Received mine yesturday. Really impressed with it
Glad to say no nicks or dents on my bezel. Did a thorough check once it was unboxed.
One thing I did notice was it had 3 hours usage showing in settings. I presume this is from when software was initially installed.

I haven't tried this year but can't one reserve an idevice on the Apple Uk store for next day collection
Anyone gone with a clip-on case? I am worried about it scuffing the bezel with all these reports going round.
I'll be getting the black/slate version in a few days and will be looking for a bumper style case. Just not the Apple one !
