European networks with 1800 MHz



.

LOL

Is this how you debate at school, Mantit?

Why show me 1800 MHz networks? I was the one who said 800/1800/2600 are the most used bands outside the US.

You came out with the 1900 MHz nonsense.

Face it, your post about the European 5s have "disgraceful" LTE support was just stupid, draw a line and move on.

You can boast to your school mates that your US 5s has more LTE bands so you win at top trumps.

Using in the real world is another thing...

Because 1900MHz is supported in most cell phones, not 2600MHz.

And you are a pathetic idiotic dumbass if you think America and Canada isn't part of the real world.

EDIT: Or, I guess you are one of those who hate America.

Do you struggle with words?

I have said a number of times, the discussion is excluding North America, nothing to do with hating anything Mantit, are you trying to make up another fudge to deflect from your original idiocy?

If something is excluded, you leave it out. Ask your English teacher during your next lesson.

If "number of times" means you only said so in one post, then you need to relearn how to count.

Also North America isn't the only country that uses band 4 as Canada and South America use it too.

I told you, hands up I lost band 7 which means I'll not get better signals in EU (excluding UK)/most of Asia etc. as I would get with an EU model. But because most of these countries also use band 3 for LTE, I don't lose LTE from them completely, and as long I stay away from urban areas I'll be fine getting LTE.

I think the rattling sleep/wake button is common (my first one had it), and others have complained over the vibrate (perhaps it sounds bad because the sleep/wake button rattles? Mine sounded OK when in the Apple Leather case as it stopped the rattle.)

There should not be any dents.

On the bright side I now have some company at the back of the queue! My 64GB Space Grey was ordered 31 Oct:

Processing Items Dispatched: 2 - 3 weeks
Delivery: 22 Nov, 2013 - 28 Nov, 2013 by Standard Shipping

It seems that the rattling sleep button is common on a lot of iPhone 5s's.
What factory/week is your phone?

I'm not sure of the week as it's packed up waiting to be picked up by TNT.
I hope by waiting a few more weeks, the issues I found don't happen to the new model!
Hah, yeah back of the queue buddies! My estimate is 26th November - 2nd December.
I decided to switch from grey to white this time

I assume you will be buying from an Apple Store?

If so please report back how you get on (i.e. which store/s you try and what stock they have).

Hi guys,

What's availability like of the iPhone 5S (Space Grey, 32GB) in the Regent St/ Stratford Apple stores? CAN i just walk in and get one? Don't really want to wait the 2-3 weeks dispatch when buying online.

Thanks!

Stratford City had all sizes and all finishes of the 5S this afternoon at 14:30. When the Apple Store employee said yes they had them in stock, he said it with an attitude as if to say 'Of course we have the iPhone 5S in stock, this is an Apple store'.

Interesting, my 5s ordered from the Apple Store (scheduled delivery thursday) has gone from Incheon, Korea to Warsaw, Poland. Up until now they all seem to have gone via Cologne, Germany, haven't they? Hope it still arrives on time!

This is the same route as mine last Tuesday

You'll poss find when you check the tracking in the morning , it arrived Germany at about 03:00 & then out for delivery about 05:30ish time.

You will receive tomorrow.

Enjoy.

On the same shipment as you, checked out of habit, I didn't expect to see any movement but noticed a departure scan appearing for 21:14 Poland local time, so that would've been almost two hours ago now. Would be a great surprise if it happens to be out for delivery tomorrow and not Thursday, since I'm not in on Thursday!

Mines on the same shipment too! Left Poland at the same time! About time seeing some movement after the long weekend in China

Just got an import scan in Koeln / Cologne! Really hope it does come tomorrow, that would be great

Just got woke up by my puppy, who's being an absolute nightmare, and out of habit checked the status. The UPS shipping information says my package is in Castle Donnington as of 3:21AM, so less than 25 miles down the road!

 

[Metaphor23]

Out for delivery this morning! Thanks everyone who predicted it right. Now just to hope it comes before I have to leave for my lecture at 3pm... Being 25 miles from the depot I have a fairly decent chance of getting it early-ish, right?

EDIT: Arrived - it's stunning!

UPS is somewhat unpredictable. In the past they've come early, and at others they've come evening time, as they said they go to the closer locations on the way back to the depot sometimes and sometimes get them out the way first. Hopefully they come early on for you!

 

[xdustydreamx]

Mines also out for delivery and I'm off to work @ 11:30 until 8pm. Hope the depots open after then

 

[AlexSykes]

Mine has just arrived. I'll post a photo when I get it set up and I'm on the computer. Seems to be fine, cosmetically good and the screen is a lot nicer than the 4's, the lock button does rattle but not really a problem unless I actually shake the phone a bit.

Great, Enjoy.

if you record or a video or a voice memo while walking, do you hear the rattle in the play back?

Just did a quick test before I put in a screen protector and apply the case since that would be quite a big issue, and there's no rattle noise if you walk normally, if you do purposely shake the phone a bit though when walking it can be heard. The Apple leather case removed the sound altogether, regardless how much it was shook.

Great, glad you got a good one.

Strange, the apple leather case does not help at all with my one.

what the 1st 2 letters of your serial by the way? (not that it makes a difference its just a lottery it seems)

First two letters of the Serial Number are DN, though it is literally a lottery, I had a launch day one and that one was perfect, but I didn't really care too much for the Grey colour. I'm quite happy with this Gold one, especially replacing the 4 i've been using for 3 weeks now, I still suck with applying screen protectors though!

Nice pics!

Do you know the build week? (if not you can find it by entering your serial number on this website).

Did it come with 7.0.3 installed?

I think it's a truly beautiful phone, just a shame I don't feel confident enough to not have it out of a case. My iPhone 5 was well looked after but it was inevitable that the chamfered edges of the device would start to show signs of wear with day to day use.

Week 43, according to online. iOS 7.0.3 appears to have been pre-installed, there was no need to update the software when I restored my backup from October 06th.

Cheers! Week 43 was the week iOS 7.0.3 went public, so it will be one of the first off the production line with 7.0.3 installed.

One more question - have you checked the level? (Open the Compass app, swipe to the second page. Test the phone on long edge, short edge and back. It should report 0 degrees if tested on a level surface.)

My house is on a hill so slants somewhat, but I used the compass and it showed 0 degrees when placed flat on my desk, and 0 degrees on both long edge and short edge.
