Mine arrived at just before 13:00, I had a copy of iTunes on an old laptop here so I connected it for just long enough to activate and then unplugged it. I'll restore my backup when I finally get home tonight.

I'd be interested to hear what you guys think after you've had a chance to use it a bit.

All this talk of yellow screens & not being able to make a call with the phone in your left hand is making me think I should put my money into something else... like a macbook pro.

IT'S FRIGGING AWESOME!

That is all.



(Although to go into detail on the reported problems... No yellow blobs here and whilst signal does drop in strength, it doesn't drop calls and still gets better signal than my 3G)

I've had a play with one today and I'm surprised at how clunky and heavy it feels, even though it isn't any more so (and is smaller) than the 3GS. Think it's the squareness of it compared with the rounded 3GS. I'm happy with mine and my unlimited data for the time being, I see nothing in it that makes me want to upgrade just now.

from work this morning and watching the first hundred or so get open i didn't see one with an issue. signal in general is stronger than my 3gs was. i've not had a change to try it with my left hand to see just now much it affects it, but i'd take these things with a pinch of salt, they tend to get a bit blown out of proportion.

The screen looked great until I went into settings. At which point I was greeted by a slightly faded line down the centre of the screen, surrounded by two very slightly yellow-looking areas. Really not a good sign - especially from a supposedly brand new phone.

Certainly put the final nail in the coffin containing my thoughts of getting one in the immediate future. Doesn't mean I'll never get one of course.
