Kaido,
Your hand is fatiguing because of reaching up farther for the back button? Because of the moment from the extra height needs to be countered? Because it's a little too thin?
the AT&T lte speed at home was like 15/9. This was in NYC zip 11354. I think VZ is faster ?
I think it's the height. The lighter weight is really nice and I don't mind the thinness (would almost prefer the thicker grip of the 4S with the thinness of the 5). I'm getting used to it, but I've had some hand pain from it (I do not have carpal tunnel fwiw). I'm sure that would happen with any larger phone though...I've had a 3.5" phone forever (4S, 3GS, 3, 1), so I've been used to that size for the last 5 years. Wow, has it been that long?
What does this mean? Seems contradicting. Imo its a bit too thin without a case. Also, i may just not be used to it, but it is kind of annoying that its so long lol.
Holy moley at first I didn't have LTE here, but now I do and it's almost 27mb/s up and down!

I kind of giggle like a school girl every time I use it. I used to get .2Mbps at my desk at work (on HSPA+) with 2 bars of signal, which required me to hold it in just the right spot. Now I get 4-6Mbps with 2 bars of signal at my desk. I want an app downloaded right now... that's no prob, Bob!
My speakerphone is sooo loud and surprisingly decent quality! Definitely happy about that as i use it a lot. I have to put it in a case and see how it sounds, because my 4 was in a case so its not apples to apples. I did not have a 4s though. Exchange it!
Finally did some playing on the iPhone 5 today. I was kinda underwhelmed. The speed boost was noticeable, and it was nice to have a wider screen in landscape mode, but that was about it. The owner of that one said the same thing, except he really appreciated finally having LTE. In Toronto it's an enormous real world improvement over 3G.
No scratches on his yet.
I think part of my getting a new phone will depend upon getting an updated data plan over 1 GB/month at a decent price. I want a long-lasting LTE phone, but need to negotiate a decent plan. For me 2 GB would be good enough I think.
So how much data you consumed so far
I find the 4 nicer to hold than the 3G. I always felt like the 3G was going to slip out of my hand because of the smooth curved plastic back.
And yeah, the 4 is definitely more solid. I got the cracks in the 3G.
