Did you order from your carrier or Apple?

A couple of people I know got lucky, they just walked into the store and they had a few in stock. Just go shopping early morning and you might get lucky.

How can any serious motorcycleist NOT prefer the android over the i phone.
True turn by turn that really works, has me won over apple for some time now. I pair my nexus to my scala g9 and music+ turn by turn nav+phone calls.
Plus everything i phone users are excited about, android has had for years, 4g LTE, bigger screen, space docking transfers, i think the only thing apple has android beat on is battery life.
Plus all my movies and music i download for free on droid, which requires jail breaking to do it with apple.

I ordered it from at&t and it took about 2 weeks... I had the option to be "notified" when some got shipped to the store but decided to just wait.. I'm too lazy for that lol
So far im loving it! have yet to need or deal with the maps tho. Its also my first smart phone ever so i don't really have any thing remotely close to compare it too

Lumia 920 was one of my options as well. I love NOKIA and Carl Zeiss but they were asleep for the past 3 years. I really hope this phone puts them back on the map. It's amazing...
Had a few nokias and i always loved them

So they just released a new update for iOS which fixes the keyboard bug and a few others that I didn't even notice.

Mine is already pre-ordered in red. I've had iPhones as long as there have been iPhones. The 5 is just another of the same thing.
The Lumia 920 is gonna kick ass.

I keep telling the gf to check it out since she needs a new phone. She seems stuck on either an iPhone or a Droid. She's owned both. I think the Windows mobile is scaring her off, I honestly don't blame her.

For some reason I haven't had a chance to talk on the phone with another 5 user until today. Has anyone noticed how clear the speaker is, almost too clear, I kept hearing the person breathing and everything, I even herd their hair grow that's how clear it was. It almost sounded like speaker phone. Anyways it's gonna take a little to get use to as more people get this phone but just wanted someone else's thoughts on this.
