*** iPhone 5 - Revealed! ***

You'll only be able to get one on a two year contract at an o2 store. No thank you o2, I'll buy one sim free and save myself a few hundred quid without being locked into a silly length deal. Apple store is the only place you'll get one sim free on launch day.

I'm hoping O2 will keep my £5 PM discount I currently have, making the £26 PM contract the cheapest option by far.

Otherwise it is cheaper buying outright, but I ain't queing.

I'd go queue if I was sure of getting one. However, I called my nearest apple store and they wouldn't give me figures of how many they'd have to sell on launch day so I'm not sure I'll risk it.

Am hoping there is a jailbreak available as well soon, would rather keep my phone the way it is then having to wait for jailbreak.

Ah I'd forgotten about all my jailbroken goodness. Oh well, most of the jailbreak features I really care about are replicated as core functionality in IO6 I guess. Will miss SBS Settings and quick-reply in Bite SMS though

I dont think we will see a JB for this anytime soon.... How long did it take for a 4S JB to hit?

Contemplating cancelling mine, which I preordered off the Apple site. Sod waiting for Oct 1st for a sim free unit. Might as well just wait it out until the hype wears down a bit.

You can also wait and see if there are any issues or how bad the battery life is in real life usage.

Exactly. Given the screen 'issues' with the iPad 3's, I'd rather not jump in blindly like I did. My iPad 3 still has a very minor colour uniformity to it.

You can also then get protectors and cases easier, if like me you apply protectors as soon as you open the case I couldn't use it without having it in a switcheasy skin. Not with my line of work anyway

Just got my Orange Nano Sim Ordered! They just had a PR messaged sent around to allow people to order them! Should be with me by the weekend! I just phoned:

Dialled 150, option 1,3,2,2,2 and I am all ordered !

I think this is what I will do, also partly due to the fact I can't decide on a network provider/contract.

Yeah I'm sim only 600 minutes etc for £10.25 a month. I've been struggling to decide what to do. I have a 4 that works fine, doesn't struggle with anything I do. Just found a second hand 4s for £300 ish so might just do minor upgrade this year and see where we are at next year with 4G.

some guy said i should queue from 3am at my local rural apple exeter store...lol...erm ... 6-7am i was thinking, crazy

Just picked up my Nano sim from my local O2 store, roll on friday!

got my nano sim swaped it over how long does it take for the nano sim to work

normally within the hour I would have thought - probably quicker than that tbh

I pay £22 a month still through a rolling O2 contract. My 4 runs fine in terms of speed but the home button is so temperamental its bloody annoying.
Thing is, if I could get a decent amount for this 4 I would put the rest towards a sim-free 5 but I can't see me getting more than about £190 (32gb)

On friday we shall see what EE has to offer. I am not planning on changing my tariff as it can't be better, even with this 4G-not-available-for-very-a-long-time-in-my-area, but I'm always getting simfree versions.

Just did mine, took an hour and a half.

Yeah they go for more than that on avforums but as you say it has a temperamental button. My wife said hers was so I traded it in with money4machines rather than sell it and my sister is having my 4 if I trade up.

I didn’t even have to do that. I only ask in my o2 store and they handed me one. No details where given. We have 2 o2 stores in Birmingham and it was only the smaller store which has sims in stock.

I have tried once last night and twice today to swap my sim over but thing has happened. May have to call them later.
.

That happened to me when I used the online simswap nothing happened, I did it again using the text SWAP to the number and it worked almost immediately

what time would it be best to queue outside 7am ?
