The Maps that don't work?

Nope. Waste of money to me. It's basically a copy of the 4s. Plus the worst 3D maps ever.

Mine is on the truck to be delivered! Hopefully it's brought to my door before 12pm so I can run home and get it during lunch.

Most of the map issues are in other countries. I will admit that it's a pretty poor system and definitely needs a lot of work. But it can only get better, and Google Maps should be re-released on iOS soon. Some reports say it's already been submitted and just waiting Apple approval, other say that we may not see it until December. The 3D flyovers have issues with bridges and overpasses, for sure. Most buildings and surface streets look fine in Las Vegas, at lease.

How is a new processor, larger and better screen, 4G LTE, better battery, slimmer and lighter... a copy?

Having navigation on a phone is awesome. It's always up to date, and essentially free. Apple really hit it out of the park with that idea.

Um, if you're looking for navigation on the iPhone 5, you're definately not going to get good navigation. Pretty much everyone agrees that the Apple map application plain sucks. Not sure if you'll be able to get Google Maps ever (except through browser)...we'll see on that one.

LMAO!

I like the navigation on the iphone5. I drove to csu east bay from Los Angeles and it guided me there perfectly...also their maps is powered by TomTom.

I don't really see the point of going to the iPhone 5 personally for myself... We don't have 4g LTE, or even 4g at that, we're still 3g. They still want to charge me for a 4g or 4g LTE plan, even though we don't have it here, pretty stupid... I don't even have enough icons on the screen of my iPhone 4 to fill one screen on the iPhone 5. I don't play games, or watch movies on it...

I do need a new phone because the ear speaker on my 4 is blown out and it's hard to understand people... I hate contracts, and my contract is just ubout up so I could "upgrade" to a new 4 for .99 cents, or a 4S for $99.00... Or I could just watch for a deal on a used one... Decisions, decisions...

Long story short, no iPhone 5 for me. That video was hilarious btw.

Yep, and therein lies the problem. Apparently Tom Tom's data is not accurate, as towns are showing up where they don't exist, and there is a lot of other data that is incorrect or out of date.

BIG complaints from people regarding not having Google Maps as the default navigator on the phone anymore.

Having fun with mine. The LTE is definitely nice. I'm getting speeds in certain areas that match my home cable internet. Otherwise it's just faster in general. Here at work, I usually get less than 1mbps. Now I get 5-6.

I know Panorama isn't new, but it's definitely been refined now that its been integrated into the camera. Got this over the weekend at the Waterstreet District car show.

My only gripe so far is battery life. Compared to my iPhone 4, its definitely not as good. But even the 4S had worse battery life than the 4. I just have to be more active in conserving my battery.
