I wouldn't know about that, but generally speaking I've found Engadget to be pretty fair in their reviews.
From an iPhone 4S users perspective, I can see the 5 being underwhelming, but as he says in the review it's still in the top tier of phones out at the moment.

What you have to remember is, that in the eyes of many retarded people, the definition of an Apple fanboy is anyone who likes or owns any Apple product...

If the iPhone 5 is an underwhelming upgrade. What are you expecting?
The SGII, SGIII etc were equally underwhelming in terms of updates. Virtually every phone upgrade out there is a similar update where they just increase the specs slightly.

I'll wait until I've got it in my hand and used it, it is underwhelming though from the perspective of if I pull it out in the pub at the weekend will people instantly know it's a new iPhone?
At the end of the day this is why you buy an iPhone. I think.

Is LTE not just LTE?
Does the frequency have any influence on LTE speed?
Re. freequency, yes and no depending on how close you are to base station/node-b/whatever its called for 4G - lets just say SRAN BTS 
LTE speeds are theoretical but reduce with usage, so effectively customers share a max speed - if its 50MB conx and 5 customers then you get 10MB each effectively -0 thats how i udnerstand it, so you might see someone say that LTE si capable of 173MB but you as a customer are likely to experience speeds of 25MB due to volume of usage.
My udnertsanding anyway

4G will improve coverage, so yes, there is a point to it.
its also not at all profotable to use 3G in rural areas

So while it might be really fast you will only have 1GB/2GB limit. I doubt you will see unlimited on LTE for a while.
half that *cough cough*

3.5G is HSDPA as i already mentioned and 'E' usually highlights EDGE (2.75G).
oRbbo, time to either read up on your products or leave it to the people that know
Steve - check out the wiki link i posted on the previous page, it shows the difference between all mobile data types/protocols.

3.5G is HSPA - HSDPA is the downlink variant, and HSUPA is the uplink variant... HSPA/HSDPA/HSUPA = the exact same thing... thought you would know that.....

why is H quicker than 3.5g if its essentially 3.5g with a fancy name

its not, its the same thing. The H indicates that youre now using HSPA rather than standard 3G UTMS and thus benefit from higher speed. iphone doesnt indicate the difference between the 2, however

HSDPA and HSUPA can be deployed independently of each other and although the term HSPA is usually used to group those two protocols, other variants and protocols can exist under the HSPA name.
Come on oRbbo, you work in the industry....

They along with most other big reviewers have had almost a full week using the phone.
