... I had a look at the phone... It is lovely, it doesn't feel like parts, it just feels like one bit. Very light and very solid...

But what do you think about its size: too big/long - ie, does it look dorkish - and/or is it too cumbersome to fit into a Levi's front pocket? :?

Its only 8-9mm taller, width is identical, its about 30g lighter and nearly 2mm thinner. So negligible all round I would say (except for the weight, that is very noticeable).

The thing that surprised me most was how tasteful the white one is. I have never liked the white ones, but the aluminium back looks really nice. Still think I would get a black one, but its much closer now.

Looks like a huge improvement in toughness. After several drops on to tile from different heights, including above head height, dude has to actually toss it at the ground to get the screen to break.

Back on topic, we've been testing the iPhone 5/iOS 6 all day against its rivals and the old 4S, so hope to get our initial review online for the weekend.
