I pre-ordered this for this Friday on Vodafone network.
Only when my boss said to me just now that Orange (which I have at the minute) is the only network that will have the 4G speeds am I thinking I may have made the wrong decision.
So advice time: Should I go back to the shop and cancel my new contract and resume with Orange utilising the 4G, or should I just say fuck you to Orange and keep Vodafone and wait for them to switch on the super 4G network.
- everyone will have it eventually, are you getting a better deal with voda?cruddlebub

Vodafone deal actually has double the GB allowance. (2GB per month)
I'm going back to the Carphone Warehouse at lunchtime, so will decide then. I'm really conflicted now - is Orange 4G worth me u-turning or is Vodafone worth the switch?
- you'll need a hefty GB with the 4G, it will munch it i expect! considering you had 2gb with 3G with vodacruddlebub

Yeah that's what I think also. I can't go today anyway, so I will do it tomorrow. Any more thoughts would probably help my indecisive mind.

Huh, it sold out.

Makes me happy that I got my iPhone4S (I had been waiting for the 5, but old one died).
iPhone5 meets what the reviews have concluded. Boring.
Go Apple, rake that cash in with the momentum.
Go competition, this is your, yet again, chance to create somethign new and better, though, judging by the recent Nokia releases, you'll probably fall on your face with design uncertainty and let Apple take over the world.

Apple, it seems to ME, is simply doing what they've always done with the iPhone: upgrade it. They don't overhaul it each year and none of the revisions has been revolutionary. The evolutionary approach works for them, and each model has been improving incrementally. The overall shape gets a makeover, they get improvements here and there in hardware and software, but that's that. The last ground-breaking iPhone announcement was the initial announcement of the iPhone. Why everyone, every year, says the current upgrade is boring and unimpressive is hilarious because it's just a better iPhone, nothing else. Kinda like BMW car models. Each year the 325 gets better, but that's it.
And to your point, formed, the competition IS making things new, and, well, better is a point of opinion entirely. But better, being a point of opinion, doesn't seem to be helping them at the moment because faster phones and bigger screens do not make for the best experience, necessarily. Yeah, they might be "better" with a laundry list of features, but that MIGHT not be what people are after in a PHONE.

Sad news:
Apple 5th Ave store has iPhone 5 campers but they are not in it for the phone.
1. and 2. Marketing stunt for some dumb start up
3. and 4. Getting paid to sit via sponsors and blogging it about it.
5. and 6. There to sell their spot- Probably part of the respectable Samsung campaign, "Doesn't take a genius"monospaced
