Just asked my boss when he is getting the iPhone 5.
His response, 'Don't know, I would like my 4S to start working properly first!'

He should take it to the Apple store, there are millions upon millions of iPhones that work just great. The Apple store is a huge advantage over any other brand, have you ever been in a Car Phone Warehouse, full of idiots.

36 actually 2000 mins, unlimited data and texts plus ability to jump on EE when its ready.
was already paying 35 for 600 mins with unlimited data and texts.
Plus quidco cashback and the second hand value of my 4 the change should cost pretty much nothing

That is Apple "willfully" copying the Sony Xperia Arc S (a great phone BTW)!!

Good deal. I thought everyone knew how good the resale value of iPhones was, but obviously not.

It's all about gestures, clearly Sony came up with moving the camera from left to right first when doing panoramic shots. Now Apple are copying going from left to right, I'm sure this gesture is patented.

Hang on just a moment.... is the Galaxy 3 LTE enabled? 4G you know that fast stuff the iPhone is capable of, I've just had a visitor in who claims his is only 3G.

A quick google will provide you that information. The current S3 is 3G only, but a new version will be available in a couple of months, though I don't think an exact date has been announced yet.
Oh, and before you get all high and mighty about the iPhone 5 begin LTE ready now, you may not be able to use that service anyway, depending on what operator you are with..

The iPhone 5 for example can operate on 4G networks across only three radio frequencies - 850MHz, 1800MHz and 2100MHz. Unlike Everything Everywhere , O2 and Vodafone are planning to use the 800 MHz and 2.6 GHz 4G LTE frequencies. Long term this should provide a better service, but the iPhone 5 won't support these two frequencies, which is very bad news for UK customers

How much for the handset up front and who is that with as see Orange £36 is 1gb data? Seen Voda and Three have announced tariffs but O2 lagging as usual. Three priced quite competitively at £37 pm and £89 for a 32gb over 24 months.

In fairness they still earn as I went to T Mobile (same group) as I want to be part of EE but I got a better deal from it - Oranges data tarrifs suck now, my old one was unlimited and for 36 quid they now limit you to 1gb, T Mobile is unlimited albeit with a fair use policy.
Handset was £269 (64GB model), same as orange offered, but £100 quidco cashback which has tracked, plus my old one is worth £175 to the trade in websites, or seem to go for over £200 on ebay.....

Bought two 5's this morning at 8.30am. I got a black and a white one, so will choose which I like best, then sell the other on.
Forgot about needed a Nano Sim though! Will have to contact T-Mobile for a new one, or maybe just cut my current one down.

I thought it was a given as on those hokey iPhone vs Galaxy comparisons earlier on the thread there was no mention of a win for iPhone... LOL. It doesn't have LTE! The God phone has slow connectivity!!

Contact them for a new one, you can't cut down a micro sim to fit.
