Man, everything just screams fast! Even the FB app runs faster.
When I open up CNBC real time app, it just opens up an loads the stock prices right away. Took a second or 2 on my 4.

I honestly had no idea...I thought the reason for the iPhone5's odd shape is that it's trying to conform to a 16:9 display
The majority of Android phones are running 16:9 since forever. Its the reason why we don't get those annoying black bars when watching videos...Apple actually used it as a con when comparing it to the iPad's 4:3 because reading books is better at 4:3.

Though amazon.com doesn't pay you. You get a "gift card". STill better prices than most, I sold them my iPad2 and I have a label to send in my iP4 (32g) for $212 up to $250.

But I can see if you didn't use Amazon it would be a problem.

the reviews I've read about this phone insist that it's not too small but it still feels small to me. i LOVE at&t's LTE and I love how fast this phone is compared to the iphone4. but damn, this size actually has me considering returning this phone (they say I have 30 days) and maybe getting the htc one x or samsung gs3. or maybe something better towards the holidays. am I being petty here?

Can't help it. Battery life on my 4, then 4s and now 5 have been about the same. With the way I use it, it lasts me about 4-5 hours. On my 4s I had a Mophie case (a few of them) and got a few more hours out of it. Ill get one when its out for the 5.
It is what it is. I like full brightness, everything on, check it a lot and use a lot of apps, Im a power user.
I had both my 4s and 5 today and they lasted about the same amount of time.

Apple did a test, I dont think its defective, but I use my Ipad some days the same way and the Ipad keeps its charge very well (yes I know there is more room for a battery)

Ohh I never use full brightness, it just wears out the backlight faster. I use about 66%-80%

Hmmm no way to force the 5 to use edge network when in an area indoors with poor reception.
Also phone still gets warm when using it in an area of poor signal.

Size is really good, Apple did a good job with the dimensions, its bigger but not too big and most importantly as they advertise, easy to hold and use.

Ants, the Galaxy is bigger than this, that's not what you want if you're thinking of returning it.
I think the iPhone is a great size now. The screen has a larger viewing area and is so crisp it's almost scary. I'm very happy with this phone.

Love the phone. LTE is awesome. iOS6 is very fast.Badly need a case. Battery life is shiiiate.
Dumbasses AT&T deactivated my unlimited plan, now temporary on 3GB plan, they've promised to reinstate it. I will destroy them if they won't.
Excuse given was when I did the upgrade at wee hours of the morning on the 12th, their system was not running fully. So when I've clearly selected Unlimited LTE..it was just dropped and not added.

. Then when I got the the little league field, LTE was shining. Damn did it move fast. I now have a problem with iTunes. With the Iranian hacking BoA on Wednesday, my credit card has become a dud. They are sending me a new one. Didn't know this until I couldn't get into iTunes and verify my account because (security code) of the new device added and being used.
So now I have to wait for a new CC in the mail and can't download any new apps. I have asked Apple to remove credit card from my account, so I came use a gift card balance that I have.
