iPhone 4 = rad

Re: iPhone 4 = rad

i had an appointment this morning at the apple store in Market Mall (they warrantied an ipod)... there were about 80 people lined-up outside the store at 9:45am!
phones were being sold, so I guess they had'em in stock?
retarded.

now this I think is stupid, same garbage with the Ipad, people lined up like it was the opening night for star wars. Don't get me wrong I really want an Iphone, but I'll wait until they come out with a fix for the antenna problem, and until its cheaper and I don't have to stand in line to get one.

I made that mistake with the ipod touch, bought the first gen 16gig when it first came out and it must have been no more than a year later and it was going for half of what I bought it for and it would have been tough even to give it away to someone haha.

Re: iPhone 4 = rad

i dont know how that makes sense? you're buying something that has a genuine documented fundamental flaw in its design. why not wait for the fix (not the cheap case) and then get the phone?

Re: iPhone 4 = rad

i got mine friday morning as well. It has no antenna problem, sends texts fine, no dropped calls. I renewed my 3 year and got it for 159 plus a 35$ activation fee its so much better than my 3g! i agree with what OP said 100%

Re: iPhone 4 = rad

I'm one of those guys who stood in line, It dropped a call on my way home from the store, I'll get a case for it, everyone already has a case for the phone, so it's not really an issue for me. I'm very pleased with it, it's a fine piece of hardware. It's going to be outdated in another year, I bought it already knowing it.

I still rock a Nokia from the future, I mean way in the past! My problem with all new phones is the cost of the plans to use them as they are intended, we get raked over the coals here by our providers.

Re: iPhone 4 = rad

I currently have a iPhone 3G and will pick up the new iPhone once all you guys buy up the old defective ones and they start producing iPhone’s with a fixed antenna. One of the major draws to the iPhone has been the product support from Apple on all the hardware I have picked up from them. My iPhone 3G was replaced 3 months ago out of warranty for a switch that was broken, walked in an traded my broken iPhone for a refurbished model that was good as new. I also had the keyboard and outer shell on my Mac Book replaced because the plastic trim was breaking. The argument can be made that these are all thing Apple should be accountable for but I have not had the same quality of service from any other company and it is more or less hassle free to deal with Mac.

i agree five billion percent. i've had this argument about 300 times this past weekend. what the hell is the point of buying a broken product.

Re: iPhone 4 = rad

im actually shocked apple went ahead with a national release campaign knowing their product was defective. is steve jobs really that arrogant? or are fan bois really that big of nutswingers that they will buy a defective product?

how hard it is to delay a national release by a few weeks, replace all the old stock that was sent to rogers/telus/bell with new stock and then release with all new and upgraded models.

or maybe the thinking was "hey these idiots will buy anything"

Re: iPhone 4 = rad

why is everyone thinking the antenna is going to be "fixed" on this current 4G design. It's the metal band around the phone, so unless they re-design the phone to a "5G", you're not going to buy a "fixed" 4G.

This might have been the master plan all along....since the phone is 3G technology anyways. What better way to roll out wimax/dual carrier/LTE or whatever 4G tecnnology their preferred carriers decide on.

First the fix was hold it properly, then it was go buy your own case, now it's here's a case for your phone, I won't expect much more development/refinement on the 4G design other than firmware.
