Checklist on a new phone

will be updating this on 1st page ~

-Bubbles Problem on Screen?
-Yellowish Tint Problem on Screen?
-Signal Line Okay? (Fully Grabbing on Hand)
-Screen Protection Okay? (Complete Dust-less) (Etc. Dust, Hair)
-Scatchness / Dents / ''Scuffgate" On Phone?

Ya being waiting for this... I think this is important for us when it launch here...

I don't care.. haha.

Malaysia faster launch ~

Looks like iphone 5 is prone to scratch and scuff make sure to apply protection before using it....

I think the scratches is depends on the person who using iPhone 5

so after leaving iphone(3G) for 3 years to android(SGS 3 now) and now try iphone 5, this is what i notice

not much changed from UI. same old style and easily used to it once it was activated.less hassle but nothing new for me to explore.
a tiny dent near the power button from out of the box(i checked the edges once i take it out from the box)
quality is better than my sgs 3 but i don't have scratches on my sgs 3 thanks to the plastic material. hope iphone able to do the same too
apps store a bit similar to google play store but i still prefer previous interface
hate the letterbox especially in youtube!so annoying
notification seems to be improved but still behind android especially with the notification led
tried to move photos and music and is just pain the arse.itunes just wasting my time.
need to setup an exchange account to move contacts from google mail is not convenient too
camera is about the same as my sgs3 but it's a bit brighter in sgs 3 thanks to auto-contrast option
wifi signal drop 1 bar if i hold/grip the top of the phone
battery life is not bad.drop 10% in overnight compare to 8% from my sgs3

that all my opinion

you sounds not happy with my opinion but well,it's expected from this forum. no point for me to spend $800 then post a bias opinion

there are many good things from this iphone 5 but is just i get used to android environment that similar with windows "easyness"(drag and drop,no itunes needed,etc)

The files in android is quite messy. Somehow i having a hard time to look for the exact folders to drag drop the songs or videos. Maybe that's just me. Sometimes i rather transfer those files into my ipad through iTunes and use my iPad instead.

yea quite expected as u can see this is iphone section lol!!

but u shuld understand why they make it such a way that file transferring is such a pain in the s.
ios is famous for its security plus smoothness as well as its easy to learn user friendly interface.
which i think android do encounter lagness depending on situations and android cases has more than ios cases if comparing the lagginess.

Anyone know if the Apple resellers in Singapore have stock?

I know its not available online, but do the physical stores have them in stock?

the iPhone 5 goes on sale tomorrow in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

Hi, to add on
1. Flickering - Dashing lines appear randomly on screen. Very random thus it cant really be checked during verification
2. Press hard on the lcd to see any ghost effect


so far my opinion on telco set and apple store set
Telco
- verification and activation on the spot thus you can check certain of the above
- exchange immediately

Apple Store set.
- you have to walk in to Apple Service Centre for all the defects. Take note here that defect do not include Yellow tint, and scuff/scratch
- but you can safely exchange now as no refurbished unit available until 2-3 weeks after.

it's more to personal preference. i prefer drag and drop method and easier to clean the files via file manager

i know what's going on and the closeness with iOS so thats why i go for android and try iphone again after 3 years. it's a great phone and performance is great. simple yet powerful but i able to do more from my sgs 3. there was a massive lag in SGS1 but not in SGS 2 and 3 with full of widgets in homescreen.

I wanna ask, those iphone 5that are currently selling in Malaysia, where did they get the stock from? I thought other country's iphone such as Germany or Japan cannot be used in Malaysia or has they found a way to unlock the phones?

ok i consider myself someone who is very careful with my phone. the iP4 that i have used for 2 years never had a crack or any physical fault with it.

but currently, after using the new iP5 for about a week, the chrome (middle) part of the phone, the paint is already coming off. aihs. its quite frustrating and making me not wanna take care of the phone anymore, after a week. and the paint comes off even more at the charging port area, where the connector would scratch around to find for the 'hole'.

hope there will be a programme by apple to fix this? mayb like free bumper like they did to address the antenna issue of the iP4.

any picture ?
no worries there is alwasy 1-1 exchange in the end of the day

+1

3G is much more stable compare to other phones i have used before, for an example.. im using Sony Ion now while waiting for my i5.

Previously i used i4s, the signal of wifi and tethering hotspot is very stable.. however, my ion now is quite "sucks".. hiaz.. always drop.. hiaz.. sad..

hi if i'm buying any ip5 from other country e.g germany or france, is it locked or unlock?

I can't wait to have this phone and if it's unlocked i'll ask my uncle to buy it and post it for me

Exactly what I was thinking. Can we PLEASE HAVE AN ANSWER to this? T______T Mine would be from Japan IF it's usable in Malaysia though.
