I just got mine last night, what do you guys think?

It's really light, and much smaller than my old phone.

I'm used to using my old peice of shit Samsung Galaxy S1 that i had nothing but problems with, the iPhone is new to me and seems really user friendly. Internet and service is great as it's on 4g.

Post your thoughts!

At what point does weight become a "who gives a f**k" feature? Seriously. My phone weights about 163g. Do I give a f**k that it doesn't weight 118g? Nope.

Same with thickness. "Oh shit noes! my phonez is 11.3mm thick! WHY OH WHY ISN'T IT 7.3mm LIEK TEH IPOO5!"

The iPhone 22 will be so light and thin that it simply won't exists and yet they'll still sell 100,000,000 of the things to Apple Sheeple.

Pay $800, get given a box, get it home, open it up, find it empty, take a photo of it and put on Instagram (with your iPhone 21), post of FB how totally amazing the iPhone 22 is and how it's totally ground breaking and, dare I say it, revolutionary. I can't wait!

Also, can I ask you Seano, what "nothing but problems" did you actually have with your Samsung?

Interesting comment lol. I don't care how good it is compared to other phones, just as long it has fast internet good service and works fast and is user friendly. And the iPhone 5 does all of that for me.

My galaxy used to freeze A LOT, internet only worked 1/2 the time. I had terrible service where i live. I couldn't upload pictures to facebook, i basically couldn't use the phone without getting super angry at it for being a peice of shit. The vibrate function stopped working, i had the unlock screen where u gotta swipe your finger along and match up the dots and sometimes when i'd do it it wouldn't register my finger was touching the screen. SO many problems i just had enough.

Pick one up. The weight is noticable, much more than the weight differences with heavier phones (inc iPhone 4). But the big difference is how theyve made it that light without making it feel like a cheap POS. My HTC Desire felt well built and solid, and was a reasonable weight. My Samsung Galaxy S 2 was a great phone, but felt like a cheap, fragile POS.

Same goes for thickness. It really is quite amazing.

Maps in America suck. In Australia we have slightly different expectations. Google Maps doesn't give us 3D, neither does Apple maps. The other thing people are annoyed at is no public transport directions. Not something I've ever used, so doesn't bother me.

Other than that, the 5 is a predictable improvement on the 4: faster processor, more RAM, thinner and lighter, 4G, marginally better battery life, inconvenient new plug.

Revolutionary? Please. Its no better (and dare I say no worse) than most top of the line Android phones. I moved yesterday, after years on Windows Mobile 5-6.5 and Android. So far I'm really liking it, especially the form factor.

Of course angry fanbois will now shoot me down in flames, but I did a lot of research and for me so far, so good.

I hate everything Apple but surely being lighter, thinner and having a faster processor is a good thing. I really wish my little Android tablet was all of those things especially lighter. Good that Apple are headed in the right direction at least. Still won't buy one otherwise I will need this new Iphone accessory:

There is no denying what apple has done to the smart phone world. They produced a fantastic product and continue to improve on the same concept.. and yet that's the thing though..

It's happened time and time again with me and my iPhones. I have been through all version of them, right from the beginning, and yes it is amazing to buy a new phone, plug it in and it is exactly as I left my old one. Contacts, music, messages etc..all at the click of a sync button. BUT! - It's still the same thing. The novelty of owning a new piece of technology wears off pretty fast for me and the iPhone, because I am staring at the same god damn thing (albeit a little faster and thinner etc)..

I am not an apple fanboy by any means, I just enjoy the ease of the iPhone when it comes to using it for personal and work side of things..and hence why I will be getting the iPhone 5 after serious research and nearly going down the path of the S3 - 'if it aint broke, dont fix it'

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
