These bloggers spent a couple days with one, using all the preinstalled apps. They always say the battery is improved, but they always end up being disappointing in real world usage. For this kind of thing, wait for Anandtech's review IMO
I'm sure it will be better overall though

also, why the fuck is it so hard for apple to put a notification light in their phones? seriously. its just one little LED...

Has anyone figured out how Fido's position in line works? I went from 500 when I ordered it last week to 315 today. I'm trying to time this so I can pick it up while I'm in the country since they won't ship it out to me and I live outside the country.
Any insight will be appreciated. I do need to work something out for a retention plan since I'm not prepared to pay $75/month for 2 years for a secondary phone line.
Currently I rock a "minimum use" retention getting 250 minutes and 1GB data for $15+$20.

For anyone updating to iOS8, a few things:
- you have to setup the notification settings for most, if not all, of your apps. Otherwise, you might see a drain from the background refreshes
- don't setup iCloud drive if you don't have Yosemite beta installed
- go through the settings of the phone; many things are turned on by default that you might not want on
- restart the phone when you're done
- Camera Roll and Photostream have been merged; there isn't a separate album

The LED flash as an alert is pretty intrusive and obvious though. When it goes off everyone in the room will be able to see it.

I don't get why they don't just have an LED ring around the home button.

I'm kind of regretting reserving the 6.
I may want the 6 Plus instead. Anyone want to trade reservations?
Also, when I did my reservation I told them I would be going with a carrier but I decided to just purchase the phone outright. That should be ok right?

I read somewhere that the NFC will only be usable by Apple's payment app, and won't be open to developers... If so, that is beyond fucked. Anyone know if it's true?
