Questions for iPhone 5 users:

1. How's the quality of the built-in speakers? My sister brought to my attention that the sound fluctuates at higher volume.
2. Can't think of the exact term, but the phone heating up after mild use. My 4 would only heat up after extended use ( playing a game for 15 mins+).
Overall I like it, still getting used to the extra length, I am just wondering if other iPhone 5 users have had these issues, I'm probably still going to go to the apple store just to make sure it's not defective( I just got it yesterday).

If it's like the new iPad the heating issue will go away after some use.

That's what I was hoping it would be.

.
Having messed around with different songs and at different volume level, I'm starting to think the problem is due to quality or bit rate since I don't download all my music from iTunes.

My original 5 had a great speaker (it's mono). I hadn't replaced due to something on my internal camera lens and the speaker on this one distorts at higher volumes - doesn't bother me much because I never use the speaker. Neither of mine got *hot* from usage - warm is normal. It's a fricken computer packaged in a solid aluminum heatsink - it's going to get warm.

Yeah I rarely listen to music without headphones so it doesn't bother me much either, as for the the temp, I figured it was somewhat normal, just me being paranoid I guess.

Geek rant. I hate small business server and I hate Microsoft for ever creating it. I hate jack leg companies who half *** setups and do things like routing through the server instead of putting proper DNS and dhcp and a real router. I really hate them for putting some hack on the same sbs box and allowing users to use it as a terminal server too. If I meet the individual who set this up I will choke them.
