Just got mine today! Yey! 64GB (or not, mine says 57.something) in black. Also on Orange.
Didn't go for the 4s (just had a 4).
Compared with the 4......Much faster, video playing (just had a look at BBC iPlayer F1 Japanese GP) is much better and sounds much better too and the bigger screen area makes a nice difference..
Not really played with it much as I have just sinc'd it.
But very pleased so far.
BTW....Anyone found a decent cover yet? My last one....I smashed the screen :-(

My 32gb 4 still has close to 30gb of storage. Why would a 64gb lose so much? The OS is about 2GB, and 64 GB is in reality just under 60. So, 57 and change left over.

Well I've had mine since Friday, and it has shown to be a good improvement from my aging 4.
Battery life is no better or worse than the 4 IMO. Today, off charge at 5am and it now has 1% left, 6.5hrs usage and 18hours standby time.
Everything else is much better than the 4 - all the apps seem to be better too... :-)

Have to say I've been really impressed by my 5. I upgraded from a 4 and the extra performance really is fantastic to have. Going back to a 4 now, it feels to cramped and too heavy. I didn't think it was going to be a massive upgrade but I'm really, really pleased with it. Have to say I've been impressed by the battery life too; this is what I got over the weekend with quite a lot of use:

I don't like to ask daft questions but how do you do a screen grab on an iPhone?
Also I'm starting to get excited, I'm due an upgrade on the 18th which has fallen perfect for me as I've been able to sit back and watch the reviews roll in. I know I'm having the 5 in black of the 32gb variety. Just hope my case turns up in time.
For anyone interested I've ordered a cygnett urban shield carbon.
Does anyone else have one? Any good?

I've waited 4 weeks for this phone and the estimated delivery time at 18:00 today. had to pop to the shops at 2pm, was gone for 15 minutes and they've attempted delivery during that time! The delivery driver was waiting 'round the corner for you to pop out. They love winding people up, little rascals! When mine was delivered (launch date) I was just leaving for work and putting a notice on my front door to "leave with a neighbour" in the slim hope he would, the delivery arrived. I quizzed the courier if he would have left it next door - he told me I was his first delivery of 160 phones that had to be delivered by 4 o clock and that he would have found me wherever i was as he was getting paid by the units delivered!

I might be making this up, but I did hear back when I had my ipad1 that it can take a bit for the device to settle in, and for it to compile all the bits to compile, etc, or something like that.

Sounds like b  ks to me to be honest. You just play with it less so it lasts longer.
