If you want to test the speed search 'speedtest.net' in the App Store a give it a try. Rememer to turn wifi off before you run a test.  I don't know what others are like, but that's not bad for 3G?

For 1 bar signal that is very good speed.
Originally 3G was only around 3mb.
I've also had a chance to try out the ear pods an boy, they really are something! I'm no audiophile but I noticed a massive improvement over the old ones.
Secondly, has anyon else tried taking photos in quick succession? The camera is really fast!

Mr Pies said: f  kING b kS! I knew it would happen to me. I've attempted to shave my sim card down, it fits the tray but I'm getting "no sim" message  So I am on giff gaff. What are my options? Order a new sim, port number over try again? Order nano sim from 3, port number over? Anything else I can do? Or should I order this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/giffgaff-Nano-Sim-Card-W... I was in the three store this afternoon and they just gave me a nano sim for free over the counter along with the adaptors to convert it back to microsim/ standard sim size.

What kind of discount will I be able to manage from this? With Orange, probably none. They're a f king useless bunch of f kwits. I wrote to the CEO of Orange and did, finally, receive a reply..... Saying I wasn't on their system! I replied: "Thanks for your reply. I have provided my name, mobile number and home address - but I'm not on your system? How very odd. Due to the lack of information from Orange on PAYG Nano SIMs, I have cancelled my order for an iPhone 5. Given that Orange claimed to have stolen a march on other potential 4G providers, I think the paucity of information from Orange on the new SIM cards has been a disaster. Your marketing folk must be asleep. I shall stick with my current phone, but each time I look at it, I shall marvel at how incompetent Orange have been in this matter" If you search 'Nano SIM' on the Orange site, there's still no info. Marvellous.

BliarOut said: So, now you've all got it where are the reviews? Well, anything specific you want to know? As a phone it's much the same as the 4/4s. At first you may mistake its light weight for it being flimsy, just it certainly isn't. I dropped this one on the granite floor on our bathroom this morning and there is not a mark on it. The new touchscreen seems a bit odd at first as you do feel like you are touching the pixels. I compared a picture I took on my old iPhone 4 side by side on both and the better contrast ratio is clearly visible. All in all I think apple actually had the right idea, it was a fantastic phone previously, why try to make it any better? That said, I do feel a little like the hardware is far more advanced than the software. The phone almost feels too fast when web browsing, opening apps, taking photos etc.

Apple store I or it from opened another for me and I picked out some marks on that one too. Third one is scratch free though. I dropped it on our granite floor this morning an didn't scratch so I don't think it happen easily. I think the manufacture quality control must of slipped.

You say that, but ultimately I have 100mb broadband at home so it's no improvement. The wireless speed becomes the limiting factor. I've not had a chance to try the iPhone 5 on 802.11N as it stops everything else working. Be interested to hear others speed results over wireless N.
