    Well I've been using it for about a week now and I've not really had any significant signal issues. The signal does drop a bar or two when the bottom left corner is completely covered, but I realistically never hold my phone in that way and it's a trivial thing to avoid.

    I think the phone is otherwise superb in every way. It's my first iPhone and the first one I've ever felt truly ticks every box you could want from a smartphone. If nothing else bus journeys are so much better being able to check emails, read MapCore, etc.

    The touch-to-focus feature on the camera is particularly nifty. Would be nice to see that appear on more cameras/phones.

    Glad to hear this. I bet you're right handed right?

    I'm glad you chose iPhone. I've been rocking with my iPhone since the launch of the device and now recently I lost it in a taxi when I was in Athens, Greece. Good timing since the new model is coming out this month here in Finland and it's quite a leap from the first original version.

    It does sound like the bulk of the antenna issues come from American's in areas with extremely poor reception. I'll admit that its definitely made me a tad less thrilled about it, since it does add a bit of worry whether I'll have any problems with it, being a lefty.

    Anyway, I really need a new phone, my old 3G is running like crap with the latest iOS 4.0 update, and there's also just a bunch of hardware things that have started nagging me about it. Some of the Android based phones do look quite spiffy, but I'm so used to the iPhone already, and I honestly am not missing more open source based freedom in it.

    Besides, if it's really an issue with the antenna then I could get one of these: http://www.elementcase.com/iphone4.html

    i bought tht for a dollar shipped last year because i thought it was funny and had it on my 3gs for a minute. so now i'm walking around with a 500 dollar phone in the most ghetto case ever. i've gotten plenty of laughs. i'm waiting for otter to start selling their 4 cases

    im toally pleased wit how itunes dealt with the phone, i selected restore from previous phone and EVERYTHING was transferred over. when i opened safari all the tabs i had open on my 3gs the last time i synched it were even there. to be hones i never much needed multitasking, its nice that i can use pandora while doing stuff but id rather just listen to my own music. i actually find it kind of annoying that everything i open runs in the background until i turn them off, though i didn't notice any performance loss with like 10 things open.

    (why are my posts always the last fucking posts on a page! always! for years now!)

    i just took a picture of my pitch black living room for you, heres what it looks like with the flash.

    the camera is pretty damn good, every picture ive taken has a big crescent on the left side from this retarded box case though lol so it fucks with the focus. the front facing camera is pretty neat too but right now its only useful as a mirror, no one else i know has an iphone 4, though im assuming i can use it on skype? the most impressive part to me of the camera is how fast it is. i was snapping front facing camera shots so damn fast i flipped through them in a photo album and it was a mini slide show

    I think you just bought the worst and ugliest case ever.

    Skdr: it's meant to be a joke. It only cost me a dollar shipped

    Dux: I know! I've had 3 just like it at home for years, this one was here when I moved in, it belongs to my roommate. I got the ones at home from ikea

    I've never sat in a rocker but the way the normal kind is built the legs bend and it kind of rocks anyway, especially if you're fat I didn't realize they cost so much. Ikeas supposed to be cheap

    lolol, i was thinking exactly the same.

    Anyway, I'm getting my 3g fixed so I'm not buying this one after all. More money in the bank!

    Ah yeah, you did! I remember you told me it's the most comfortable thing you sat on! And it's pretty affordable too. I liked that 700€ armchair that we tried a lot more tho!

    Man what a day, hot as fuck. We were passing in front of a pharmacy and the sign read 39+!

    A bit expensive, and I'm not the biggest fan of leather, but holy fucking shit is it crazy comfortable. One of the best investments that I made when I got my apartment. Perfect gaming chair
