Loving the new phone, it's so much faster!
I definitely feel like it was a solid upgrade from the 4. Faster, better screen, speakers are MUCH louder and I'm actually going to start using the new Apple earbuds.
Anyone trying out Craigslist for selling the 4's? Any luck? What are you pricing them at?

Found a routing app with transit support called HopStop. Works nicely with iOS 6 maps app as Siri initiated directions can be "passed" too it by clicking launch on the transit tab. Allows you to save routes too and download trip guides for offline use.

LMAO^
Is it just me or is Siri really slow sometimes?
I've waited 10 seconds before she's answered simple questions like "Whats my name."
BTW. Its Rusty Shackelford.
At the time, I had closed all my other apps. nothing else really running...

Anyone having wifi issues? Read online some people are having it and apple already knows about it.
I think I am, my wifi seems to drop occasionally and when I look for networks. I see nothing

1/2 of me says that people should let it go and let Apple fix it, but the other 1/2 remembers that we all got a free bumper case because of the whiners. I would like Apple to either fix the maps or put Google maps back in the app store.

Pretty cool commercial I saw yesterday during the Dolphins game...
the one showing people waiting outside and apple store...wasn't until like 3/4 through the commercial that I realized it was a commercial for android.

^loved it. Even though I love the iPhone, Samsung is right. The only thing iPhone has better now is the speed of the phone and app store. 
Though the reason why I bought any of the iPhones was because of the App store.

Apple today announced opening weekend sales of the iPhone 5 topped five million units, exceeding the four million iPhone 4S units sold during that device's debut weekend last year. The number follows the company's earlier announcement that it had taken over two million pre-orders for the device in the first 24 hours of availability. Apple also announced today that over 100 million devices have been upgraded to iOS 6.
“Demand for iPhone 5 has been incredible and we are working hard to get an iPhone 5 into the hands of every customer who wants one as quickly as possible,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “While we have sold out of our initial supply, stores continue to receive iPhone 5 shipments regularly and customers can continue to order online and receive an estimated delivery date. We appreciate everyone’s patience and are working hard to build enough iPhone 5s for everyone.”
Apple's five million iPhone 5 unit sales seem to fall short of many analysts' expectations. Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster last week predicted sales of eight million units based Apple's announced pre-order number, calling six million units the worst-case scenario for the company.
The iPhone 5 launched in nine countries last Friday, and will be debuting in 22 more countries this Friday, September 29.

I thought the commercial was pretty funny. I love my iphone becuase it just always works and well because I don't want a tablet as a phone.

better physical design. (subjective)
better user experience.
better integration if you live in a OSX/iOS environment.
Apple has really tightened up its access/use of iCloud. Now with 10.8 and iOS 6 running on two computers, an iphone, and an ipad...I have full cross availability/syncing across all the devices with almost no effort. It all just works, and I can easily put down one device and pick up another and keep going from where I left.
I just don't see that from android. I'm not bashing it either...android is for people who hate apple or love really digging into software and tweaking things. But with that comes the potential for instability and unreliability. A rush to throw out as many competing models as possible....and a watering down of the OS as there are now how many different versions of it running out from jelly bean to ice cream to stripper glitter?

I think the screen sensitivity has changed, it's more precise. You must hit exactly to get a response, like deleting an app by hitting the x, even the keyboard requires more precision.
The speakerphone/microphone quality has definitely improved. The screen size change is not drastic but being able to operate my phone with one hand, priceless.
