I just ran a speed test on LTE and I'm getting 32. Unreal fast.

Purolator missed delivery so it's delayed in transit. So you have someone wait and they just "miss it". At least advice your depot to call clients.

Damn, I haven't paid attention to this new ios6 at all, and I'm just finding out after the software update they've gone and taken away the google maps. Incredible. Dammit!

The vibrator in the 5 still creates a very slight rattle when you shake the phone, the same as my 4. I wish they would figure out a way to eliminate that.

lighter, thinner, faster, bigger screen, absolutely amazing phone!

The lightning connector is also awesome, so much better than the 30 pin relic

Great upgrade, worth the money

According to the ifixit teardown, they fixed it in the 4S by changing the type of motor, but went back to the motor they used in the 4 for the 5.

Who are you with silentsim? I'm on hold with Bell- apparently my plan doesn't include LTE even though I was told it wasn't an issue.

My wife's 3gs didn't rattle either. A terribly minor nitpick, like I said.

Here's an excellent universal YouTube app from the makers of Alien Blue (Reddit app).

There's actually an app for YouTube straight from YouTube/Google themselves. I'm gonna give this one from the Alien Blue makers a go, see which I like better.

Google's app isn't available for the iPad yet. Jasmine will be good enough until it is. I really like how it support background audio, which the old YouTube app didn't.

Just played with one for a couple of hours. Not bad. Super fast with LTE but the screen is kinda small.

I like how my friend was complaining how light the S3 was and that it was 'too light' compared to the 4s.... well the iphone 5 is lighter than the S3 now and somehow lighter is better now! hahaha

I still prefer the S3, it's back button, the larger screen and it's widgets. Too bad the apple maps are not all correct but that 3d map looks pretty awesome.
