ITunes/iPhone5 practicalities

Mossess

Hello, getting 2 shiny new iPhone 5 fondleslabs at the weekend. But I have a question. Can I stick the two phones onto the one iTunes account? Is it practical? Will all the purchased music appear on both phones, and what about the apps?

Yeah but both phones will use the same details and photo streams etc. It's a bit complicated. I think contacts, iCloud data will sync to both iPhones. I'm not 100% though.

I run both phones through my iTunes.

I allow mine to auto sync and back up everything as its my iTunes and my Phone.
The GF's, i have on manually manage, so i back her Apps and contacts to iCloud, and then just connect to iTunes and drag and drop some music as and when she needs it.

Her photos, i just copy and past off the phone every month or so.

I found the easiest way was to just give my wife a different log on my computer. We can both back up our own phones because I would want some of her music taste to mix into mine.
