Take in the ICloud sync

I bought the new IPhone 5 about a month ago and having backed up to
the ICloud was told how rest it would be to sync all my photos from my
old phone wirelessly to my new phone. Well now a full 3.5 weeks
later I am still staring at my camera roll and it states it had only
downloaded 1700 out of 6500 pictures.
The syncing might be seamless but only if your two seams are allowed
to be about 10 yards apart because this is ridiculous
