Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.

Yes.
The data speeds are very impressive. I'm in Washington DC and get these speeds, which vary greatly:
Sheeeeit, faster than my landline.

300 for an iPhone 4? How many GB?
South Florida...and if you think that's bad, you've have no idea what bad is. My in laws get a MAX of 6 where they live. I typically get around 10-12 on a steady basis
I have no problems with my download/streaming speeds.

I haven't seen the iPhone 5, but is the anodized metal on it really that poor? I have a foldable clipboard with anodized metal and that thing has been thrown around, placed in pockets filled with all kinds of metal instruments, and it doesn't have one scratch on it. Maybe Apple needs a better provider of the casing.

Can someone find me a post of when this iPhone 5 was first leaked? Like the image of the first back case.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Same. Been wanting that forever.

Wait.. what? Thank you for mentioning this lol
I was not aware of the increase either. Nice surprise.

some users are finding the battery goes really quick, it's either an iOS 6 bug or something is constantly active in the background somehow, might be to do with the network perhaps.
GPS on my android takes battery when idle, probably best to turn that off first until you need it for maps.

Black and scuff-free so far!
C'mon guys, now we're just asking for it.

I don't know if it's stuck or dead. What's the fix?

Yes, it's a function of the increased screen size
booo.. i know how to scroll!
Since you can't really "massage" the glass on the iPhone, solid colors on the screen can help. try playing this video a few times http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=oj9U-Ux6QHY
There is an app on cydia that can help more.

It's incredibly dumb that you can't scroll in folders.

Just looking at 24 month contracts for iPhone 5:
O2
Orange
Crazy.....
I am on O2 and glad about the price, however for iphone tethering you have to pay extra I think, it might be free with orange, O2 seem to like their hidden costs on new phones.
I have been on a £15 contract with my samsung and been real happy with it, but I also pay for my internet on top so any saving I thought I would have is gone

Good man!
I just thought, does Facetime count towards your minutes if you're on contract or is it just data? I'm on Orange if that helps.
The low light photos have good lighting, but they get really noisy. It's still impressive of how low the light can be. I took some cool pictures today when the family and I went to pick some apples at a local apple farm. Click to enlargen some. Not full res uploads obviously.

Does anyone have the $15 per month Best Buy insurance where they apparently will replace the phone for any reason?
Is it rip off or is there something else I should be using?
BTW, if it makes a difference I do not have an Apple Store in town.

Yep, it's great. Love the way updating/downloading is handled now. iOS 7 automatic background updates pretty please?

No joy, must be a dead one. But it's so small that even when I'm looking for it it takes me a few moments to see it. I think I'm going to take this as an opportunity for personal growth and not be bothered by it. Unless of course the phone gets scuffed and then it's straight to the Genius Bar!
Since I had to pay full price for the phone this time I got AppleCare+. It's nice that it's two years because if I do decide to sell it in a year for the 5S or whatever the extra year uber warranty will add nicely to the resale value.

Mine does this too. I compared it with two other phonesno problem there. Gonna exchange mine tomorrow.

Oh, now I see why my battery was dying really fast; I had my email set to "push".
That'll do it.
I just now realized that I can pull down the top bar and get the weather/stocks. So, yeah, I didn't know about the extra folder space
If I found a 64gb in an AT&T store would they let me switch phones? Instead of waiting another 2 weeks for the same model?
I preordered in an AT&T store and started a family plan and got my wife an iPhone 4, so I'm not sure how easy it would be to straight up cancel my first order.
lol I knew something was different

I don't have it but my friend has used it twice this year on his iPhone. It's actually probably the best plan out there as there is no deductible (however won't cover lost/stolen like carrier insurance does). The only downside is you have to wait a couple/few days.
And nary a game in sight
Also, how many more times are you going to edit your post?
I don't want the entire IP5/iOS defense force jumping down my ass...
shit gets cray
Oh holy crap. Mine was set to that also. Time to turn that off...
45 is my highest.
I agree. I would also like the ability to sort alphabetically without having to do it manually myself.
Just tried to get mine from the apple store. Switching from AT&T to Sprint.
Everything goes peachy until the end, when apparently Sprint wants a $500 deposit that I won't see again for a year. What the hell? Apparently they pulled up my credit and decided that... except less than a month ago my credit was over 750.
I took out a car loan when buying my car a little ago instead of paying it cash because I was told it would help my credit. The fuck? It's the only change I can think of that might affect it, but why the hell would it get WORSE?
so I call AT&T thinking maybe I can just upgrade, if they're able to get signal inside my house (I don't get shit ever since I moved), and they want me to buy a $200 device to even get signal and use their service.
This is the most frustrating shit right now. Gonna call the credit bureau and financer monday and see if I can get that sprint price down, this whole situation is crazy.
