If your up in Dublin the Meteor shop on Henry Street has the black model on display. Not powered on though I don't think they have a lighting adapter for it lol. It's beside a white 4S so perfect for comparisons too.

You might have to ask for it. The three shop in liffey valley has it, but you have to ask to see it.

Approved for a contract on meteor but they're looking for a €130 deposit. It's paid back after my 6th bill. I've had contracts before on other networks without problems. Has anybody else been required to pay a deposit?

Loads of people

Just had a good look at a work colleague's one there..

.. very sleek and nice looking alright, but definitely a little on the long size (could be very prone to slipping out of fingers without a decent cover / skin).

Definitely an improvement on the 4S in terms of speed and reliability, but not a fan of the "long" design to be honest.

I was when i got my Iphone 4. None required second time around.

Its more to warn people not to sign up for a bill, thinking "ooh shiney" and then default on the bill

Indeed... and add another one to the mix!

Some UK customers still don't have their iPhone's at the end of their estimated delivery date.

Doesn't inspire much confidence.

New one is alot better for me.
Old one was muck, my opinion of course.

Considering, you didnt know that the you tube app dissappears in iOS6, are you aware of Google Maps being removed too?

I agree. The old one was terrible... I never used it. The new one is much better.

That's because you ordered with accessories. And they won't ship until everything is available. The accessories are the thing that's holding back a delivery date.

I would agree. The new youtube app supports closed captions which neither the old apple app or the youtube site through ios does.

WHen I bought the iPhone on my debit card it deducted the money, but since today now the money appears back on my card. I presume Apple just took some kind of pre-authorisation before, and will charge the card once the phone dispatches?

Yeah that's completely normal when ordering with a debit card. They take the funds to make sure it's there. It's not when it dispatches but actually a day or two after you get the iPhone that they charge your account.

I ordered mine with a micro USB lightning adaptor which ships 5-7 days yet estimated delivery for everything is 26 oct to 2 nov.

Yeah but the 30 pin dock to lightening adapter has a ship date of 'October'. Most like the OP included that with his order and that's why it won't give him a specific date yet.

Got my iPhone 5 today from three I had to get the 64GB version.

Its nice, but I think the S3 fits in your hand better/ is more comfortable to hold. It could also do with a slightly wider screen.

The only thing that I think is better is that it has a shorter screen. I have very small hands so I do have to shuffle the S3 up and down or really stretch my thumb, so my thumb is kind of sore from it.

Its still a good phone though.

Any PAYG stock in any of the shops around Dublin?

hey guys,

Will an unlocked iPhone 5 from Canada work over here?

Blazer

should do..I think now they're all the same aren't they? Barring maybe the AT&T or is it Cingular?

Just getting it straight off the apple.ca site

The CDMA iPhone won't work on non-CDMA networks, but it seems you can only buy the CDMA version through Sprint or Verizon. If you buy it from the Apple.ca site, you can only get the GSM version, which will work fine over here.
