Indeed, why queue? Just phone your provider and say "I want an iPhone 5" to which they say, "sure, we'll send you one on Friday". Job jobbed.

Samsung will never get this cult following and that is part of apples success
Even if they fetched out a nokia 3210 woth and apple sticker on the back it would still sell

The iPhone 5 is going to be the best seller of all times
And you'd blindly buy it too! In fact I have one and I'll give you 2 Apple stickers, £500 it's yours, Bargain!

Give it up, you're not helping Jack's cause.

Did I read somewhere the iPhone5 comes with tom tom supplied mapping for free turn by turn sat nav?

That would be pretty cool if true.

No no.. The iPhone5 has "integrated navigation", much better than an App apparent. Much like android has had for a few years now...

I know it might seem analogous to the iPhone 4 and 4S same differences, but this is truly brand new never seen before Apple thread, honest guv!

I think most of the Pre orders sold already. At least O2 had a note on their site saying that. So I guess people hope that more are avail on Friday in stores. But 4 days queuing up I just don't believe anyone is that sad.

The maps are in part from TomTom, I used it today for a 3 hour journey with my TomTom on at the same time. The iPhone was better.

Samsung are paying them to be there. It's a conspiracy. I might walk in and buy one on Friday, never been an issue with previous releases, other than the over excited sales staff that is.

No disciples this time, they got kicked out of the cult by the fashion police.

Come on F1, say something positive. You love the engineering I'm sure, and no doubt the new connector will be of benefit for audio fans, maybe the demise of the external aerial has pleased you.

Just ordered a 32gb white with Three (currently with O2) as seems signal is better out here. £89 for the phone but less £96 Quidco cashback and £151 buyback from Vodafone for my 4 16gb. The latter is a little lower than it was last week but to be expected with a surge of people doing the same thing. Still worth the peace of mind of no comebacks unlike selling on ebay.

Jack, I am sure it's a great phone, but a thread like this every time a new variant is released??? It's borderline OCD from both sides!

It's only a bit of harmless banter, nothing more and surprisingly it's even civilized. Things have been pretty quiet here of late, so Jack has done us proud in NSR in generating traffic here.

I've just heard that Apple have done a u-turn and are now not including the adapter with the phone?

Quite likely untrue, but would of course be nice.

You'll get even more on Ebay.

And enough of the Sheep Talk, surely Sheep use Android, far more users.

Not operating system specific, idiots will still believe they're getting a phone for free when the price is the contract.
