You may be right, but it seems that th only phone thinner is only available in China. That doesn't apply to most of us (well maybe half the world http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/iphone-5-worlds-thinnest-smartphone-claim-in-dispute-1096941
The other things you mention sound like typical things that any manufacturer spins to sell their product and don't make a difference really. There was nothing untrue, but nothing that interesting either.
I like that they've kept it small. They said still being able to navigate the screen with one thumb was the goal and that makes total sense.
Obviously anyone can make a big screen. Woopdeedoo. Packing the technology into a tiny package is much more technologically impressive. Music, sweet music, I wish I could caress and...kiss, kiss... | |

WRONG!!!!
The iPhone 5 is 7.6mm.
The Motorola Droid RAZR is 7.1mm and came out a YEAR ago.
Apple are liars. As well as boring. |

Yes. So what? That's like, the top 5% of the phone. If that.
But if that isn't good enough for you..... the Oppo Finder is 6.5mm thick.

I let you guys quibble over the techno but I am a fan of Apple products and I'm not really impressed with the new model. I'll stick with my 4S till the end of my term and when the " NEW " version comes out in 2014. Jeux Sans Frontiers | |

Yep, the Oppo is what the article about the Chinese phone I linked in post #61 was about... Music, sweet music, I wish I could caress and...kiss, kiss... | |

That's fine, but Schiller said at the announcement that the iPhone 5 is "the thinnest smartphone in the world". And it isn't.
The markets it gets sold in don't make a difference. Not when you can buy 'em online for £400 and have 'em shipped to you in a matter of days. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm...809wt_1008
Oppo are technologically very impressive. They just launched the world's first 1080p device, with a pixel density of 441, compared to 336 on the iPhone 5. Now THAT is innovation. http://www.engadget.com/2...quad-core/

I just obtained the "HTC One X" a couple of weeks ago. I'm delighted with it. Big gorgeous screen, quick, smooth and easy interface. Does it all for me.

iPhone 5 Preorders Break Record: 2 Million Plus in 24 Hours![]()
By: Michelle Maisto
Apple sold more than two million iPhone 5 smartphones in the first 24 hours it was available for preorder. The figure was more than double the record set by the iPhone 4S.Apple sold more than 2 million iPhone 5 smartphones in the first 24 hours that it was available for preorder. This was more than double the record set by the iPhone 4S nearly a year ago, Apple said in a Sept. 17 statement. AT&T announced the same morning that customers had ordered record numbers of iPhone 5s over the weekend, making it the fastest-selling iPhone the carrier has ever offered. After its Sept. 12 introduction, the iPhone 5 became available for preorder Sept. 14, just after midnight on the West Coast. "Customers ordered more iPhones from AT&T than any previous model both on its first day of preorders and over the weekend," said AT&T. On the Apple site, stocks were depleted afte...ailability, and Apple changed the ship date on the site from Sept. 21 to "two weeks." "Demand for iPhone 5 exceeds the initial supply and while the majority of pre-orders will be delivered to customers on September 21," Apple said in its statement, "many are scheduled to be delivered in October." Nearly a year ago, Apple announced that preorders for the iPhone 4S exceeded one million phones in the first day, breaking the record of the year before—orders for more than 600,000 iPhone 4 smartphones after its release. Verizon Wireless and Sprint also began offering the iPhone 5 Sept. 14, though, neither shared news about their sales efforts just yet. Research firm IHS iSuppli has forecast strong sales for the iPhone 5, writing in a Sept. 13 research note that phone will be a "major success in the market, helping to drive Apple's smartphone shipments in 2012 to 149 million units, up 60 percent from 93 million in 2011." IHS added that Apple will begin selling the iPhone 5 with just over one week left in its fiscal third quarter, so that most of the sales will impact its fourth quarter, making it "Apple's biggest quarter for iPhone sales in history." Despite Android's dominance in the marketplace—according to Gartner, more than 64 percent of the mobile devices that shipped during the second quarter ran Google's Android OS—IHS calls Apple's iOS "still the most valuable mobile content marketplace." The iPhone 5 features a 4-inch display (on the diagonal), a first for Apple, which has maintained a 3.5-inch display on past models. The larger display will accommodate older applications, though Apple has offered developers a fix, for a more perfect experience. "The new iPhone will support old apps via the addition of a ribbon so as to preserve the original aspect ratio," wrote Jack Kent, an IHS senior analyst. "While this will maintain the experience, it does fall short of the flawless hardware-software integration that a vertically integrated model like Apple's should provide." Also imperfect will be the iPhone 5's support of Long Term Evolution (LTE) 4G technology—another first. While Apple's support for LTE will help increase support for the technology, according to IHS, only European operators with 4G deployments on the 1,800MHz band will be compatible with the iPhone 5's LTE capabilities. "This will affect the competitive position of carriers," said the IHS report. "Those that have LTE networks compatible with the iPhone 5 will benefit at the expense of those that either have not launched LTE or have LTE networks that operate on incompatible frequencies." Apple will begin selling the iPhone 5 at 356 U.S. Apple retail stores at 8 a.m. Friday, Sept. 21. "iPhone 5 is the best iPhone yet, the most beautiful product we've ever made," Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of marketing said in a statement, "and we hope customers love it as much as we do." | |

So now I NEED a new iphone!
I lost my 3GS yesterday... had plans to wait a couple of weeks to hear the reviews on 4GS vs 5.
Now I have NO phone.
so what is the fastest way to get iphone 5??
Tried to preorder... will take 14 - 21 days. Should I go to Apple store on day 1?
I know people are in line. I am not THAT pressed.
do you think they will sell out before people who just walk in are able to get in the door?
Just want the new phone YESTERDAY. I don't have a cell phone. "Remember, one man's filler is another man's killer" -- Haystack | |

You probably won't be able to get it right away, but if you place your order, they should be able to give you a loaner phone in the meanwhile. Nothing fancy but
I ordered mine too and I can't wait! [Edited 9/18/12 17:47pm] “The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously.” | |

Thanks for posting the reviews. I am going to try my luck tomorrow morning at my local ATT store. The guy said there is no one "camping out".
The store opens at 8 AM. I am going to get there around 530 or 6 AM and wait until the store opens.
I think I WILL have an Iphone 5 tomorrow.
Good thing because I am LOST without my iphone. I don't even know my DH or DD cell phone numbers without my iphone. "Remember, one man's filler is another man's killer" -- Haystack | |
