First impression, light - real light. Fast - real fast. It just looks awesome...

Time to head down to the Apple store for additional lightning-usb cable for the car...

If you don't mind, let us know if they actually had your lightning cables. I'm hearing they're pretty much sold out most places.

90mins into my iPhone 5 and I'm so happy with it.... My iPhone 4 was so behind... This is a great product!!! No Regrets whatsoever

I got my white 32gb about an hour ago, and it's so pretty...I don't want to activate it yet though, until I can get home to sync it up. I also need to get a case stat. Soo happy that this week is over!!

Watched Dark Knight on it... The Screen and Speakers are freaking Awesome!!!

First impressions are perfect with no doubt at all! But I have a question to the guys who received their iPhones..

Shake your phones and bring it close to your ear.. Do you hear a thin rattling voice which comes from the inside of the device? (From the sim card slot's side) I'm hearing a little voice when I shake my device like that.. Even when I was unboxing it, I heard that and it took my attention..

Waiting for your comments..

Did any of you buy a Zagg invisible shield when you bought your phone? Bestbuy or the carrier?

I do a little, yes now that I'm listening for it.

My AT&T White 64GB iPhone 5 was delivered to my house this morning. I love everything about it. The larger screen is great, indoor pics are much improved, reception with AT&T has always been very good in my area and nothing has changed with the 5. The phone is much slimmer and lighter even with my OtterBox Commuter case on. Well, enough review for now. Here are the pictures of it.

You're really have shake pretty hard but yeah I guess... It's the only moving part in the phone...if you shake vigorously of course it will make a noise.... I don't plan on shaking my phone... So not an issue

**MarisaKaye72** · 09-21-2012, 12:49 PM

Mine just arrived via UPS!! The driver said mine was the first he had.

**Ringfinger** · 09-21-2012, 12:56 PM

1:07! Can't wait to get home to get it set up!

Yes, the little voice said Feed Me Seymour. It freaked me a bit.

No, no noises that I notice when I shake mine (even shaking it hard)

Phone received, still syncing (from 32gb phone, seems a bit faster to sync than the iPhone 4). I had taken off most of the apps/items, but still taking a while. Came with roughly 80% charge. Had to reboot for iTunes to see it (weird). Got the 64GB version, capacity is listed at 57.30GB in iTunes.

**Corsair4** · 09-21-2012, 01:19 PM

The OS6 manual comes out as OS5.1

I have sent them a message concerning this error.

I hope they fix it soon!

**hermdog** · 09-21-2012, 01:29 PM

Received my black 64gb at like 10 this morning. It's unbelievable light! Spent 45 min on the phone to activate since I upgraded using my wife's line. The AT&T person seemed like she was new and had to ask for help a couple of times. But eventually they got it right. Screen is absolutely beautiful! Not liking the audio jack on the bottom, but willing to adjust. Videos look astounding.

**_marlam** · 09-21-2012, 01:33 PM

Mine arrived eventually. Had no confirmation from TMobUK at all - even though they've been telling customers all week on twitter of email/sms updates.

Wasn't expecting it to come at all today after they kept repeating the SMS/email thing, however, I'm sat playing with my gorgeous white iPhone 5

Hooray!

**Guacho** · 09-21-2012, 01:37 PM

I spent about 45 minutes on the phone with at&t activating the phone, at the end they gave me a credit of 25 dollars for the inconvenience, not that I asked for it.
My wife's iphone was much more easier to activate thru the phone only.

**scorpiodsu** · 09-21-2012, 01:40 PM

Got mine but having trouble activating OTA. Automated process keeps saying cannot activate and forwards to customer service. Customer service just said to hook up to iTunes. Trying that now.

UPDATE: Just went and activated on myverizon, rebooted and all good now. Pleasantly surprised and how light and thin it is. I'm not sure how but it somehow seems smaller than the 4 and 4S. I held them both side by side and the 4S felt bulky compared to this.

**rew001** · 09-21-2012, 01:44 PM

Arrived at my wife's work just before lunch. Coolness.

Me neither.. I just wondered if I'm the only one who is hearing that or not.. If that voice exits more than one device, sure it can't be an issue.. (hopefully)

Thanks for your answer...
