Trying to reserve one but I get the impression the rest of the world (and every single ebay w  ker too) is doing the same

Still to get one.. the gangs from China are taking 60-70% of all allocations each day and buying others for cash outside the Apple store from anyone that wants to make an easy US$400. They've enlisted an army of nerds to give them an automated solution of applying for the phone each and every day (as the image below shows), then carting them all off to China for a large premium.

(Yes, I have ordered a case now!) This may sound like a daft question, but I don't have any rugrats... What is a toddler doing with your iPhone in the first place? Watching videos, playing games, making phone calls, using it as a hammer, you know - that sort of thing.

Visited an iStore today.
Old news I know, but didn't see the point. In fact we were both holding our 4's by the sides of a 5 to see what the difference was
Too little to bother tbh

Coming fron android my 5 seems like a good purchase. I'm not really into pissing about with roms or jailbreaking.
The apps seem much nicer to look at and use. And the lack of flash hasn't been an issue so far.
The biggest plus is the lack of oem and carrier bloatware.
No longer do I have orange crap asking me to backup or sony asking me to use their home screen.
It seems to work a lot better and the battery seems to be pretty good. After my usual 12 hour shift the battery is still at 50% where as the android would be dead with similar usage.

Still not impressed with the battery life on mine. Taking yestersay as an example, I charged it over night and by 4pm it was down to 35%. I've already turned the brightness down and battery doctor isn't revealing anything untoward. My 4 was much better than this. My work HTC is blowing it out of the water.

Do you have LTE turned on or off? LTE is on I am on Orange and having LTE on or off makes no difference to data speed, therefore I assume having LTE on is a waste of battery with no benefits as the LTE networks are not operating yet. With the 4S there was a toggle for Data and one for 3G, but I am again assuming you cannot turn off 3G on the iPhone 5 now. If anyone has a more informed idea of if this is correct please let me know!

I'm on O2 so no option for LTE, just a toggle for 3G.

Mine comes off charge at 8am and is usually at around 70% by 10pm.

That's what I'd be expecting tbh. Looks like its time to ask some questions then, cheers chaps.

Uranus said: One thing I've noticed is my screen is sometimes a bit unresponsive, at times trying to get that little flashing cursor to move to edit text can be a b d!! But not all the time, so I'm guessing software rather than hardware. I even removed my uber cheapo screen cover to see if it was that and it wasn't... I've had the same issue, mostly when trying to go 'backwards' from a specific message to the list of messages. Also this one is quite annoying; whilst in a supermarket my phone loses signal. No biggie. HOWEVER it can't find any service once i've left  It's done it a few times. Today I gave it 25mins and it STILL couldn't find anything until I did the blokey thing of turning it 'off'. And then back 'on'.

That happens regularly with my IP4 and i have to put it into plane mode and then out again.

I've a 5 on O2 so no LTE option.
The battery life is terrible. Using it for email, making calls and internet browsing through out the day means it's under 20% by 5pm. I can watch the battery deplete a good 2-3% just by browsing PH for 5mins over 3G.
I've turned off most of the location services stuff under system services but it hasn't really improved much.
Could be time to take it back.
