This thing is FLYING on my WIFI, Safari is like my desktop speed. And this morning while getting some breakfast sandwiches at McD's, I notice phone showing 3G, was 
. 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.

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?

oh yeah - this is my first time personally using Siri - it just plain ROCKS!!!! I just did "set alarm for 10pm" and blam, done. No more digging into all the menus and all that BS to just set an alarm.

Takes forever to charge my iPad3.

if you're trying to say that using Siri to set an alarm is not as big a convenience as I made it out to be, I humbly disagree.
thats what I was trying to say, takes me about 2 seconds to set an alarm, perhaps because i use it everyday and have most times already set up. I may be one of the minority here but I don't find siri a time saver.
Just gave Siri a little test drive, AWESOME! It will even cancel things for you.
I told it to set a 10AM alarm. Then I told it to cancel it and it did. I can see this being very helpful in the future.

Charges very fast, faster then the 4s.
Had 100%, checked mail and facebook and watched it go from 100% to 97% in 3 minutes.
I plug my phone in whenever Im at a charger (always have), now Im wondering if thats the issue, maybe Im not cycling it enough.

One of the few things that is cheaper in Europe is mobile phone service. Everyone here is asking me about how 4G was in the US. We will see what they will charge.
