*** iPhone 5 - Revealed! ***

Thanks for the info guys, it makes more sense now

Another thing, doesn't two ticks indicate the device has received the message? My friends say they only see one tick and the second tick comes once i open the app itself. On android it used to send 2 ticks whenever the device received the message regardless of if the app was open or not, or is this just the way it works on iPhone?

Yes it is.

Is there any way to upload movies to an iPhone 5 without using iTunes? It's the thing that puts me off getting one more than anything else.

There's a jailbreak now which will allow you to do all sorts of stuff like that but other than that I don't think so, or if you could you'd struggle to play it back (I think, I've tried this half heartedly in the past with an ipad)

Depends on whether you mean no iTunes at all, or just not using the iTunes store. VLC works well but you still have to open iTunes on your computer to drag and drop films to your phone.

Don't need to. It has a built in web server that you can enable to drag and drop files in via a browser.

This said, I personally think VLC is crap. Never managed to figure out how to get the controls back once they went off screen.

Ah, hadn't realised that. Just tried it and it seems ok.

Not sure what you are talking about re controls. Never had any control issues as its all gesture driven.
