I love my iphone 5. Huge upgrade from 3GS. Its so light, and shiny, and new.

I'm with Jeff and Val.

I can wait a month.

I stood in line like a nitwit for the 4.

Never again.

I queued for a 4. For the 4s and 5 they were still readily available on my way home from work

I am gazing at it right now. Any tips? I have 1
Pick up a cigaret lighter USB for $5 at Walgreens. It dawned on me after lunch today to pick one up and 2 of the 3 Walgreens I contacted were sold out So you have a car charger for $5 yeah after paying $$$ for a phone

I was in line for 8 hours last night.

There was plenty of stock at our local O2 (carrier) store all day, and they still have all larger capacity ones too

Maybe the queues don't take everything like locusts

Same here in O2 stores. Contemplating an upgrade from my 4 up to the 5 as my contract has now ended

 

[Echo queen]

I got in line at 6am the store opened at 8am I had my escort to the counter at 9am. Gone before 10 am. Austin TX

I got up at 3 am a week ago. Nitwit, indeed. But it is a beautiful phone.

The really strange thing, honest to goodness, I swear, is that when I synchronized my new iPhone 5 with iTunes for the first time, iTunes then started downloading every single DIS Unplugged podcast from May 25, 2012, to the beginning. It is still downloading them, one at a time.

I'm baffled. I suspect it is a server issue but for the life of me, can't understand why synching my new iPhone brought this on.

My DH preordered it using the Apple Store app on his iPhone 4 and his iPhone 5 arrived at 10:02 am. Quick, painless & no waiting in line! I have the 4S so I'm still content with mine. The 5 is beautiful! So thin & light!!!

My First impressions: Very impressed with the overall performance of the iPhone 5. The form factor is very different. Not bad, just different. I've had marshmallows that weigh more than this phone. Siri is fun. While she is nowhere near perfect yet, Siri is doing better than expected with my Cerebral Palsy. I have never been able to use voice recognition before. The fact that Siri understands me a little bit is very impressive. I have not played much with the camera yet, but the camera and battery will be put to the test in Florida.

Its not the new phone Jack. I had the same thing on my current phone. I suspect somebody did some "housekeeping" on the server that resulted in all the podcasts being designated as new.

The timing freaked me out but you are right, it does look like Corey or Dustin (or one of their minions) did some work on the RSS feed. The titles and descriptions on the newly downloaded podcasts have been revised to be more descriptive. The files appear to be identical.

Did they remove the previous Disneyland podcasts from the feed? That could have caused iTunes, etc. to rethink the status of the old ones.

One reason I never have it auto-download them

 

[RMAMom]

I stood in line yesterday and got 2 phones the one for myself was and upgrade from the iphone 3Gs to the 5 and the one for DH was from a blackberry to a 5. A huge change for him, so happy to finally convince him how easy the iphone is to use.

I was hoping someone could point me to a website that will allow me to download Disney Ringtones. I have a few in my itunes account from a website that was recommended on the DIS back in May but I can't find it. Does anyone know what site that might be? Thanks for the help.

Edited to say that I found it, it's called phonezoo.

No, the older DL Podcasts are still in the DIS Unplugged feed.

One reason I was wondering whether it might have something to do with the iPhone 5 is that I had several issues with duplication when Apple released the podcast app. A stretch, of course, but the timing was so strange.

I don't know of any websites where the ringtones can be downloaded. A while back, Jeff found a website that explained how to create a ringtone from your music library.

Thank you. I did a little more searching and found the thread. The website I was looking for was phonezoo. Search disney ringtones there and you will fond bunches of them!

Most reports I've read say that the 5 is an improvement, but not a big one, over the 4S. Obviously the larger screen is different. But the new dock connector may be a huge disadvantage if you've already got a bunch of the old cables around.
