Was the iCloud storage allowance ever 20 gig. On my iPhone 4 I only ever remember it being 5 gig

No, iCloud storage was never over 20GB. It has always been 5GB.

With the exception of the case scratching, all of the other points are standard minor issues one would expect to see crop up when you ship a few million phones. They're not all going to be perfect.

So unless you can show a widespread common issue (like the scratching) then claims like "Problems with connecting to secured WiFi networks – with connections either being blocked or running slowly" I'm going to put down to standard user or manufacturing errors in individual units.

Just strolled into Meteor on Henry Street in Dublin and picked up a blank nano sim. No one in it. Don't know what the story is with phones. There's a substantial queue outside 02 on the opposite side of street though. No one in cpw, Vodafone, eMobile etc.In slight disbelief at how easy the whole process was. If you're willing to wait of course! The guy in Meteor looked at me stupefied when I asked for a nano,until he copped I'd preordered.

Sorry! It's just the new SIM card for the iPhone. I got a blank one because I'm keeping my number and I don't have the phone yet.

Going out on a limb I'd say it's a nano sim, a black one at that.

So has anyone actually walked into a shop (any network) and got an iPhone 5 this morning? I ordered online with Meteor yesterday evening but I'm not expecting it for a while yet?

TCP/IP

Yep I walked in at 9.35 and got a 16gig black. I was the first person in the store to buy one.
Got it on eMobile.

What's your first impressions of it? Are u happy with it?

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 for two weeks after I sold my 4S while waiting for the 5 to be released and I am so glad to be back with Apple it really is a quality piece of kit. Nice screen size increase but still able to hold much easier than the S3. I am delighted with it so far.

Got a black, 16GB in Vodafone Blackrock this morning. They told me last night they had ten. (One white, mostly 16GB and a few 64GB).

Was there at 8:15 with a couple of bods ahead of me. By the time they opened at 9pm there were enough people there that someone was going to be disappointed.

Already dropped it and put a dent in it where my bumper is going! Holy crap it's light!

Well that's great to hear I am waiting on mine to be sent, still using the iphone 4! Take it the build quality and that is still great? Don't think I could use another OS other than apple's now

I presume no networks or the carphone warehouse are selling pre pay?

TCP/IP

I bought one from eMobile on prepay as was not due an upgrade

DeSourire

So does the iphone 5 not accept the old iphone4 sim? seriously this is becoming a major hassle!

Brian017

When will the network have blank sims for PAYG customers, I presume they'd want to look after they bill pay ones first?

mad muffin

DOes anyone know if Vodafone are doing it on prepay?

afatbollix

Not one iphone left in London

grrrrrrrrrrr

That has been known since way back. Tis to save space in the phone.

All network stores have the nano sims in stock. No biggy.

Oh really?

Yes really, plenty of people here have the iPhone 5 today.

You were saying that none would be available, no pre-orders etc.

Clearly not true.

Any shortages is caused by unforeseen demand and not because Apple did not deliver to Ireland like you were saying.

missingtime

Got a text from meteor to say their upgrade team is out of stock of iphone 5, and cannot take further orders.

Anyone have any advice about getting a nano sim from Meteor? I''m preparing to q, which is ridiculous for a sim but what are the options? Just preordered a phone from Apple.

Just go in store and ask for one. no que'ing involved other than the general ques. FOC too.

I was just in Henry Street store to get my nano sim cards and they have no PAYG units left but have a few units for new contracts available.

I clearly said the online store.

Not all of us are looking to get the phone on bill pay, or are in the middle of a contract.

Sorry, I should of said. They have phones left. Presumably they are for bill pay people only though. I've ordered online but was asking them to check it (they couldn't) but the guy in the shop said it hadn't been mad there and they still have phones. Had a quick play with his and its incredibly light.
