Great!! I got mine delivered @ my door after 11am. The only stress was getting it activated it took 3 hours But I'm loving it. Is anyone buying the new cover? Its really cool & protects it very well..

How do you like it so far?

Well, I am coming from a 3gs. So so many things are new and exciting... Siri, apple maps, face time, voice recognition....

I do miss youtube icon. And really wished there was a radio. Funny thing is, I bought an ipod the day I lost my iphone just to make myself feel better. The ipod Nano has a radio.... why not the iphone????

I am really impressed with the quality of the pictures. The size is still comfortable in the palm of my hand. I haven't used the earbuds yet.

You can really tell the difference in size from 4s to the 5.

and the LTE is super fast. But once again I was coming from 3G network so everything is great.

I got the BIGGEST kick to actually be one of those applefan fools standing in line for the latest phone.

I have watched these teckies and computer geeks all these years stand in line. This year circumstances forced me to be one of the geeks.

A great bunch of people everyone was super cool and friendly. Mind you I was in Ann Arbor Michigan... so a college town.

The At&T store bought coffee and donuts and set out on tables for us before the store officially opened.

I wasn't planning on waiting in line. I was on my way to the gym and when I saw the line... I ditched exercise and got in line. So, I was in a tshirt and hoodie jacket... and capri biker pants and ankelet socks.

Someone who was better prepared... (several blanktes, sleeping bags etc) took pity on my and let me use their sleeping bag to wrap up in. It was COLD!!!

I wouldn't trade that life experience for the world. Something I always wanted to do.

Next thing on my list... Time square on New Year's eve.

I'm in Ann Arbor... I might have driven past you.

The thing getting all the attention this year is the omittance of Google Maps and the inadequacy of Apple's own maps app. Anybody have any problems with their maps or navigation on their iPhone 5?

It amazes me how people lose their damn minds over a IPhone and a pair

of air Jordans. I don't stand in line on Black Friday and sure as hell

not over an overpriced Apple product. I stay up on the latest gadgets

and technology but a phone. Not. I don't want to live my life in a cell phone.

All i want is to do is talk, text, take photos. I don't want to play music, surf

the web,or fry pork chops on my cell phone. That's what i have a desktop,

laptop, cd and mp3 players for.

You know if a phone could fry some pork chops, you would have been in line with every one else.

My cast iron frying pan. Shouldn't be much confusion in that.

Nah... you ain't at the back. You just went a lil to far when you spoke of frying porkchops on a phone. Besides, any brotha who knows you fry anything in an iron skillet is always at the front of the line.
