iPhone 4

[Psy]

":1fdi4om4]Yep, pretty much. For some reason, I really dislike the idea of being stuck with a telephone company and having to pay a pretty big sum amount of money every month.

I like to pay for the phone (equipment) entirly, and then I just refill my phone as I see fit or when I run outta money on it.

Me too except the iPhone is priced ridiculously if you want one with no contract.

[Thrik]

Yeah it's like £500 here for one without contract, and then by the time you've bought all the credit you need over like a year or so it's come to like £900, which is about the same as it costs to just get a contract with unlimited web browsing, etc.

It's easier for me to pay in smaller instalments though so I tend to go for contracts.

The HTC Evo is looking quite appealing I have to say.

im still using my old sony ericsson that i bought like 6 years ago

At least you have a cell phone.. Francois, you douche.

Haha, well I've been using a prepaid card French one I have since I landed in Germany, knowing full well (thanks to connections) the iPhone 4 would be revealed this june. So yeah I'll be preordering this one on the 15th so I can get it asap !

Probably the same connection who forgot one in a beergarden.

Can't see myself getting an iPhone, other phones do what it does better/cheaper/easier.

I've just got a vodafone SIM card, £15/mo for 600mins/Unlimited texts on a 1mo rolling contract. Just buy whatever phone I need and use it in it.

wow nice deal

[Bic-B@ll]

i thought i could pre order tomorrow but then realized i have to wait til tuesday. i think im going to stop into at&t tomorrow anyway so i can be clear on how much it'll cost me due to the fact that my contract is only 10 months old

[Bic-B@ll]

ugh i went to att on monday to confirm how it is to be done and what it'll cost. monday morning i wake up real early to try to do it online, it doesnt work. i go to att at 10 am to pre order one and i cant because i lost my license. on lunch break i get a new temporary license and go back. this time they tell me i can't use a debit card and i dont have a credit card. grrrrrr

What do you guys think about the antenna "problems" in iPhone 4?

[Thrik]

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.

[Mazy]

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

Omg the Iphone 5!

so i got mine in the mail the other day. it's pretty tits. however, i do't have a case for it yet so i dug around and i've been using my recession case:

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.
