Notes & Tips“As we have already mentioned in this review, with the recent release of the Apple iPhone 5 they maybe limited deals with Free Gifts currently on the market. Basically for two reasons; the handset has a very high retail price which is already subsidised when providing the handset on a mobile phone contract. Secondly, there is no real need for networks and third party retailers to offer incentives when sales volumes of the handset are already high. This situation could change any day and we will update this information accordingly. The first Free Gift offers are likely to be discount line rental, Cashback and Automatic Cashback in nature. These will appear in our Advanced search facility » , so it’s worth checking back regularly.” “Please note that this article has been filed as ‘latest’. An article or review on a handset is categorised as ‘latest’ if the Retailer, Network or Manufacturer in question is offering a product, service or deal that is new, exclusive, limited or seasonal.” |

I've had the iPhone 5 for a few weeks now and it took a bit of getting use to. The first thing you notice is that it feels thinner and lighter than previous iPhones. I didn't really like the feel first of all, as some weight to a handset gives it a bit of worth and it felt kind of cheap. But after that the next thing I noticed was the speed and (like the review said) immediate response of phone. Overall I really like the handset and would recommend the iPhone 5 even if it took a little time to impress me!
