    Oh no, disaster, not a good idea but glad he got one

    I got my iPhone 4 on an 18 month contract with Vodafone. Said to myself "never again". I'm growing impatient for a 5S now because the 4 has gotten so slow recently.

    Then he compounded his error by going home and restoring a backup from his previous iPhone 3 on to it "so that he didn't have to enter his contacts manually".

    Sometimes, I sob myself to sleep.

    Another mate, scored an immaculate, unlocked, 5s from GAME or one of those shops on Tuesday for 100GBP less than Apple. A trade-in. In addition, he's a handsome git. Some people.......

    Slightly off topic but what way are you supposed to do it?

    Well, in the first place, I would never put a backup with elements of iOS 4.3 on it on my shiny new iPhone 5s, made for iOS 7.

    Secondly he has two iPads. These and their sister MacBook should have all his contacts in iCloud.

    Thirdly, I worked out how to sync my contacts, bookmarks etc OTA on my iPhone 3, still going strong, so it can be done.

    I'll be in Dublin around the middle of November and just wondering is it still better value to try get one in Belfast, even factoring in diesel costs? If they had none is still pick up the 5C for herself so wouldn't be a wasted journey.

    I live on the Dublin / Meath border, costs me €30 on diesel in a 2.5td engine to get there and back and about 1hr 45mins each way

    Got the 5S in Belfast last Fri. Had to take 64 Gb but delighted with it and in fairness the staff there are a joy to deal with.

    Ideally I'd want a silver 32GB but I'd take a 64GB and/or any colour.

    I got the last 64gb Gold iPhone 5S at 10.30 this morning. The apple dude didn't sound confident about getting a delivery today.

    What are the chances of having my launch Space Grey 5s swapped for a Silver 5s?

    Swapped...unlikely.
    Returned under 30 days for a refund and waiting for a silver....more likely.

    I've had black iPhones since the very first one but I must admit the silver looks nicer than space grey.

    I had white from the start and changed to black and space grey this time around, think I made a mistake, its nice but prefer the original Apple white products

    I think the black iPhone 5 was the nicest of the lot. The grey band around the 5S looks like the old iPhone 4 design, which was nice, but it's a few years ago.

    Also, iOS 7 really suits that brighter phone.

    I should have pulled the finger out and returned it sooner :( 30 days is this Sunday.

    I suppose I could sell it on adverts and order a silver on on apple.ie

    That's the main reason I want to swap. After seeking iOS 7 on my wife's white 4S, I prefer it much more.

    I toyed with the idea of getting the black iPhone 5 as it does look slicker when the screen is off but I ended up getting white to go with my iPad.

    Anybody else think that the white is feminine and the black is masculine??:rolleyes:

    I have the following order of preference with my mate in the US

    1. Gold 32gb
    2. Gold 64gb
    3. Gold 16gb
    4. Silver 32gb
    5. Silver 64gb
    6. Space Grey 32gb
    7. Space Grey 64gb
    8. Silver 16gb
    9. Space Grey 16gb

    I'm thinking of sticking the Silver 16gb ahead into 6th place. I think whatever I get I'll probably end up trying to swap for a gold somehow!

    I think you would be mad to to sell on adverts bite the bullet and return it. Then again you are mad muffin.
