Hi, TBOH, sometimes, what is posted is what is actually meant, no grassy knoll here. The attention being focused on me is way off topic, maybe getting back to the topic would be a good choice? Just an idea. David
Maybe next time you'll think twice about criticizing the OP about his sources. You should know how people react here, since you complain about it so much.
That's like saying The Sun is a great paper because they paid 20k for some nude pics of Angelina Jolie.
You're hitting the wrong button. You have to hit the FaceTime button and dial my number to see a penis and/or (depending on the time of day) a vagina.
The honest truth is, I have an iphone4 and i love it way more than the 3GS. The antennae issue is very much overblown. The public seems to think that the antennae just plain sucks, so everything else about the phone must suck. I get better reception with this than the 3GS. Like most articles state, there is only a problem if you squeeze your phone or cover the little 1mm thick black strip on the bottom left side. I use my old SPECK rubber case from my 3GS, so no problems here. For those people who want to complain about reception issues (which has always been the case with the iphone), it is just a way to justify hating on the device. Trust me, an antennae issue is far worse than the issues plaguing droid-based phones. IMO, Motorola is pure dog-shit. Just read about Google's Nexus 1 problems online. There are plenty of them. The iphone4 is hands-down the best portable gaming device, and the camera is much better quality than HTC's. Megapixel Scmegapixal!!!! Any photographer will tell you that lens quality is much more important than extra megapixels. My girlfriend's 6-meg cannon kills my 8-meg kodak. I guess everybody needs to jump on the bandwagon and feel a need to bash apple while everyone else is. Gizmodo does have a grudge against apple, as even their users are getting annoyed with the apple-bashing. As much negative press that it receives, it will still kill every other phone in sales 10-fold. Windows puts out utter krap, no one complains. Motorola has been putting out cheap, plastic, screen-peeling-off krap for years, no one complains, Nokia's N97 user-interface is a slow, stuttery, unstable pile of donkey-dung, no one cares. Android is a copy-cat that still isn't as streamlined as iOS4, no one cares. But apple has one design flaw, and OMG, apple is now the worst company in the world and they'll lose business for sure. FACT: 600,000 sold out on first pre-order day (I was one of the lucky ones) FACT: 13,000,000 tried to buy them on first pre-order day (not launch day) FACT: Even with antennae issue, millions still want one and are waiting FACT: It is considered the best phone on the market by many in industry FACT: Android's app store sux, and are barely getting good games FACT: Although journalists talk $h!t about it, mainly for ratings (like a negative movie critic), most still own one and wouldn't trade theirs for any other phone. Why you ask? Because despite this ONE flaw, apple still makes the most reliable, attractive, easy-to-use, industry-changing tech, in the world. Yeah, they didn't invent video-chat on mobiles, but they were the ones that got it right and provide a quality experience. And for those HTC users, you can only use video-chat with "qik," (an app that you must get, not built in), and the iphone can do 3G video-chat with "Fring." So no more krap about iphone not doing video calling over 3G. Stupid, idiot journalists never mention that because negativity sells more than praise. Dont forget, that if it weren't for apple starting this whole multi-functioning device, we would still be using the dumbest of dumb phones on earth. And don't even think of bringing the "palm pilot" into this. That piece of junk couldn't do $h!t.
Oops !!! just read the other replies. Didn't know it was funny-time. Sorry for the rant. Earmuffs Jimmy, Cock, balls !!!!
I remember the very first day I had it, I could do the signal issue, once in half a dozen attempts. I've just tried again and all I can manage is 1 lost bar of signal (holding it for about 2 minutes). It's absolutely fine.
If that's what the public wants to see, and they had it as an exclusive, then yes... it'd do their business extremely well. Use some common sense.
