How to change Apple ID on iPhone

I had to change my email address and I've also changed it in iTunes, however now I can't log into iTunes to purchase apps from my iPhone. It still shows my old Apple ID and I can't figure out how to change it. I've synced my phone with computer but doesn't help.

having a similar problem with iphone 4s, I went through the re-login steps metioned, which worked, sort of. But icloud and photo stream are asking me to sign in, and my old ID pops up asking for my pswd. The old ID can't be typed over, and I'm asked to go back to settings. I'm a bit frustrated, how do I get my phone to recognize the new apple ID setting?
