Dear Friends,
4G Services being launched in India (Airtel & Reliance) is the half evolved TDD-LTE. Where as all major manufacturers including Apple ans Samsung have better evolved FDD-LTE. Hence 4G capability of these devises is useless in India.

Hey guys so I thought I should post up a review of the iPhone 5, from my short experience with it so far.
I cant review all of it as I have only had a few hours (8) with it.
First of all.. after reading all the scratch issues I was very worried. I ordered a black one so it should have been even worse than a white one.
I can confirm my phone is sparkling.. black, not a scratch or dent - anywhere (- YET!!! LOL). (also, my partners one is white, and hers was also perfect).
So body is perfect and black looks amazing in person. I had the 4S in white so I went with the black this time. (and my girl went with the white so we just got different colours - anyway..)
1. Its now a perfect weight. Doesnt feel too heavy anymore like the 4S was. I didnt mind the weight of the 4S, but now I have seen and felt the lightness, its unbelievable.
2. The general speed. My goodness this phone is fast. Just when you thought the speed of the UI and apps were already as fast as possible, Apple proves me wrong.
Flicking about the apps, is just butter smooth now. Amazing how seamless it is really have not used anything like this before. No stutter, not even a hint of it. Perfect speed. Maybe in the future new apps and redesigned (fancy) UI stuff will slow this down.. maybe not? Its very snappy.
I can open a game so much faster than before. I can close it faster than before. Awesome.
3. Display. It really is nicer now. I am not an expert by any means, but I have looked at a lot of screens in my time with phones, (all iPhones, HTC Desire/ONE X, SGS 2, Nokia E6) but this is very nice. Blacks look blacker. Colours look more rich. Very happy with new screen. Videos fit perfectly.
4. Earphones. They are now very nice. Sound richer and bass is not tinny anymore, still stays clear when you turn it up. what else you want with from the OEM EarPods.
5. Build quality. It feels like a piece of Jewelery in your hand. Amazing finish.
6. Internet speed. This is not a reason I bought the phone for. I just wanted the lightness and screen, speed. I never had seen LTE in action before so it never fazed me. My goodness this is the most important feature of the phone to me.
Some tests I did. On my iPhone 4S using SPEEDTEST.NET's app, I got a speed of around 3-8Mbps DL, and around 0.65 Mbps UL.
From the same spot with my new iPhone 5, I ran the test again. Brace yourself! lol..
DL - 52.74 Mbps
UL - 27.48 Mbps
I dont know if this is great, good bad whatever.. but for me, this is amazing. It smashes my broadband ADSL 2+, which is hard to comprehend.
7. WiFi speed. It now connects to WiFi at greater distance which for me now means the whole of my house. and its speeds are quick like its hooked up via ethernet. Very impressed with this also.
8. Battery. Normally with my previous LiPo battery iPhones they are at their best on full charge/dsicharge cycles and after about 2-3 weeks.
Im on my first charge now, the whole time I have had LTE on, WiFi on, 5 email accounts, and whatever else, location services weather etc.
I have been listening to music for an hour, I have had the phone hooked up via Bluetooth to the car for about 2 hours and had Wifi LTE tethering set up at the same time (for about an hour) on my partners iPad. I have been checking it every 5 minutes (new phone). I have run speed tests, and in general been using the crap out of it with many things running at the same time (syncing drop box)(as well as the screen on), and even downloaded heaps of apps.
It is now 1AM and came off charge at around 7:00pm. (so about 5h 45 minutes so far) Battery has 69% left.
This leads me to believe that at almost maximum discharge (bar playing a hardcore game) it wil last at at least 15-20 hours.
when I start using the phone normally after the excitement calms down, I expect easy 24-36 hours. Easy.
My cons, would be that not all the apps fit perfectly yet, and a lot of people would mention MAPS as an issue, but I have used it, it was accurate, and the 3D thing is off the hook!
Anyway.. any problems arise with my phone, I will definitely be back here to post.

Warning to all user who wanted to downgrade their IOS 6 version to IOS 5. Do not try to do so as IOS 6 is still a Beta version. What's shown on the YouTube for IOS 6 downgrading are proof to be untrue. It will only give u errors & kill ur device. Keep what u have now and wait for Apple to resolve the problem. Wait for Apple officially announcement.

i still miss Steve Jobs when he's still alive. It's a great lost to Apple without him around. Creative & Innovation on product is always his dream for the future. As what Apple do now is to lawsuit on other companies just to keep their stand on the market. Many ppl should be agreed to that... if only Steve Jobs alive. As for iPhone 5, there is nothing to say much as u can see on the recent review.
