k14: mrkgoo: Ugh, got my iphone5, but vodafone out of nano sim. Without sim, you can't activate phone. Bah and humbug. Just cut your micro sim. Nothing to loose if you can get a nano sim for free when they come in stock. Look on youtube for video. Doesn't matter now. I have to return the phone. :( waiting game begins again.

My sis in law had same time frame as I did from apple, 29th oct - 3nd nov, and she got email last week to say its been shipped, she is expecting it tomorrow. I'm glad I bought mine from telecom in the end, as it will be almost two weeks later, coming from apple. She is in Auckland.

Rosie121: Are dead pixels obvious? Not really, no. Only way to find them is too look damned hard!

I checked for dead pixels when I booted the iPhone since it has a black background. No dead pixels. No stuck pixels either. Overall flawless condition. Looks like the new batches have improved.

Don't think mine is from a new batch, bought from telecom two weeks ago, and it's perfect!

Mine was fresh from china, two dead pixels. Playing waiting game to return now. Sucks so bad, because I was so excited for it, ordered as soon as it was available and counted down the days.

A freind at work had a faulty 4s he spoke to Apple and they sent a replacement phone then he returned his, they did hold a deposit until his was sent back but he wasn't without a phone, maybe this might be worth asking about. I know a little more than nothing but not much...

Had 1 from Sydney and 1 from China, both damaged right out the box, going to give it one more chance, if not i will get a refund and buy when i return to the UK.

Unfortunate for you guys getting duds, I was paranoid about my phone. For your info, my phone is a week 43 unit, and I'm going to speculate that the later the week the less likely there will be QC issues.
