If I can't, I can't - I just heard the camera is better so I'll try (but the 5 is so much better than the 3gs, I'm happy)
Where did you buy the phone?

You just answered your own question.

You have never had an iPhone, so you are buying the smallest capacity. I bought an 8GB iPhone when they first launched in 2007.

I upgrade yearly. My storage needs have crept up every time they improved camera and/or video.

I've had 64GB phones since the 4S.

Depends on what you find humorous, I reckon.

I find team sports to be largely humorous.

I don't do Super Bowl parties.

I find it pretty much a snooze.

I am not gonna rain on a sports fan's parade, though.

People like what they like.

I have a 32gb and it's been ok so far, but only because I haven't been adding a lot of music to it - I take a zillion photos, and I'm pretty close to capacity (all of my old ones are on the new phone).

As my last phone was a 3gs, I've been having fun insulting Siri and feeling like this is something new, though everyone else had fun insulting Siri years ago.

I think AT&T will do exchanges within the first 30 days. You should call a corporate store.

Yeah. I take tons of pics, too. I enjoy carrying them around.

So how were the lines down there? Up here we had 380 people online at the Apple Store on West 14th street at 8am when the store opened. I know the other four stores in Manhattan were just as packed. The 5S was selling like hot cakes. The 5C not so much. When the store I was at ran out of the 5S at around 2:30pm, 95% of the people online left. It looks like Apple will sell a lot of these phones through the rest of the year. However, from all accounts on the news, all of the sales are to existing or returning customers. I don't think they will get many converts from Android users.

Got my shipping notification for our 5S phones and was surprised they are coming from China as the package origination. Shows delivery estimated for Tuesday which is way ahead of the schedule quoted when i checked out on the Apple Store app.

We shall see!

Wow, very nice. When did you place the online order and how? I used the apple store app on the phone at precisely 3am (right when they went on sale) and had orders completed by 3:03pm and paid $10 extra for "rush shipment" but still shows as "being readied for shipment" on the tracking page. Of course it says I can't cancel, but I'm patient enough to wait, I just hope they arrive soon. I have all the chargers and case, just need the actual phone.
