The wear Pocketlint was talking about, really bad for a one-week-old review unit.

There is no if. It will have the screen size as the iPhone 5. You can start looking elsewhere now.

Maxis users who already have the iPhone 5 in Malaysia, can do a speed test on DC-HSDPA?

I think it's wiser to sit still and wait for reviews. Early batches of Apple products are known to have issues, like the uneven yellow tint on the iPad 3. Spending more to be a white mouse doesn't seem to be a good idea.

The black one looks really good, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to bear with the scuffs, especially those that are already present out of box. The white one looks too "bling bling" for a guy. What color are you guys getting?

Black, waiting for it to fly here from Melbourne

The good thing about black is that the letterboxing would look far more natural than on a white. Hmm hmm.gif

1) iOS 6 users should take a look at this YouTube client: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jasmine-you...d554937050?mt=8

2) The iPhone 5 looks pretty tough:

I heard that when black model is dropped, and got scratch, can see the silver aluminium inside.

This is the only reason I am considering white.

Even though I think black is so much nicer

You don't have to drop it. There are units that are pre-scuffed, so you can see silvers right out of box if you're lucky, or not icon_idea.gif

had a look white and black iphone 5 and surprisingly white look much better in real life than the image in internet. not easy to get scratched and looks cleaner. i also found some scuffs at black iphone.

if only i can change my order to white one :/

Does the white one look too feminine?

Some black units have nicks and scratches right out of box before you even use it.

AlexGTX says there's no cracked screens yet, just to show him there is. Sucks to be that guy though, broke his phone in like just one day.

Sales will hardly be affected, and I suppose stock will deplete even faster with these issues. People are opening a few boxes each just to get one with minimal defect. I wonder if Apple resellers in Malaysia will carry the iPhone 5? If not, the only way to get one without contract is through Apple's online store, meaning it's tedious to exchange if we get the lemon?
