Yes, maybe. But I ACTUALLY paid £30 LESS IN STORE for mine than I would've done had I ordered on line...
I admit it doesn't look that way from your post.
My local shop must of been trying to rip me off then as they never offered me that sort if deal which I'm a bit p*ssed at.

Glad I bought online but will be asking why I didn't get money off too.

Has anyone that is experiencing the rattle at the top of the phone taken it back to apple?
I've worked out mine is rattling from a slightly loose on/off button at the top. Not overly fussed about it but interested to know if apple are doing anything about it.

I've got a rattle in the phone as well. I also had a rattle in my iPhone 4, I was under the impression that it was something in the camera lens that was rattly?

I am somewhat tempted to not get a 5, and stick with the 4 and go on GiffGaff. I rarely use anything other than data access on the phone, and am struggling to see the benefits of the 5 for the financial outlay.

Has anyone else done this?

It's not the button, it's the camera lense, they all do it, some more than others but they all do.

When my contact was up I went to 3 on their £10 a month 12 month contract. Add to that the £100 cash back for ordering via quidco and £20 for a year seemed like a good deal to me smile for that I get 300 minutes, 500 texts and 500mb a month.

I'm pretty sure it is as if I hold the button and shake it it doesn't rattle and as soon as I let go of the button it does again

For about the first minute I actually thought that was some sort of spoof!

Anyone's phone very warm after using it for a small amount of time? My 5 is MUCH warmer than the 4 I have used for the past 2 years.

Not at all. Are you sure that faster processor & all the porn isn't just giving you sweaty palms?

I've found double clicking the home button and shutting maps down worked on a collegues one, it appeared the GPS was active and also thrashing his battery.

Iirc they say it's that expensive because it's got an analog/digital converter. For charging this is hardly necessary, so expect cheaper ones that deffo work for chargingn popping up.

It's not the power button, it's the camera lense or something was mentioned earlier in this thread or the other one.

Nearly two weeks after O2 ordering the wrong phone in error, I STILL don't have the £249.99 they took out my account. Really not impressed at all!
