iPhone 4 = rad

Re: iPhone 4 = rad

i'm the last person that should be saying this as I love to knock Chris and his iphone, but the drop call issue really isn't as bad as you guys/ internet make it out to be......they already changed their algorithm for antenna use and it is 100 fold better then on the US release day's models. You can also just throw a peice of clear 3M on the bottom right side of the phone and all issues go away completely cause then your skin doesn't come in contact with the antenna it self. I for one am switching to the iphone from BB only because they finally released a "BBM Style" app called "what'sapp" which is data "pinning" for iphone's AND BB's. (an actual BBM app will be released by RIM in the near future as well). I have an itouch which I use everyday and now will not have the need to carry an itouch and a BB. I'm after the iphone for the 100000000s of apps it has which RIM can't even touch. In closing, I have 800min (13hrs) of daytime talk, free evenings after 6pm and free incoming/outgoing rogers to rogers land or mobile #'s anytime. Last month, i used 45mins of my 800mins, so as you can see, I use my phone for data and texting over talking, so if I do actually drop a call in my 10 phone calls a month, I don't think i'll lose any sleep over it.......

Re: iPhone 4 = rad

I will be ordering my new iPhone as soon as they have more in stock, I use my iPhone a lot but have a 3G, so I rather get the 4. I tend to text and use a lot of data, and when I do make a call I am usally in my car so I am not even holding the phone. Besides, having the newest iPhone makes you cool.

yes so true everyone is making that dropped call out to be some kind of hideous flaw in design but ive had it since its release and have not dropped on call! I think the silly americains made it up to try and get free phones haha. BB is making a BBM app for iphone? ....interesting!

Re: iPhone 4 = rad

Im gonna carry an iphone 4 (work) and a BB 9700 (personal) so people think im a drug dealer.

Nah, mainly Ill carry the iphone with me to work so I have some games to play when im taking a ****. If i had to choose, itd still be berry all day due to the number of texts/BBM's i fire out in any given day.

Re: iPhone 4 = rad

If RIM releases a bbm app for iphone it will be the best of both worlds!

Re: iPhone 4 = rad

X100 on the "antenna is crap" being blown out if proportion. I have had the phone for just under a week and have not had a single issue with calls dropping or call quality. That on top of the great performance in every other area makes this a great iPhone - WAY better than my old 3G.

Today I walk around with the following:

Phone
iPod touch
key (single key, I walk to work)
wallet

I just fwd my work cell to my personal cell because my present work phone is a piece of sh*t BB 8703e hahah.

As of next week, or whenever my work iphone shows up:
Phone
iPhone
key
wallet

Really no difference. I am a very heavy data/text user on my BB so I dont want to play music on that due to battery life slaughter that occurs.

Re: iPhone 4 = rad

My one comment on the antenna piece, it's not going to fail for everyone. It depends on each individuals ability to conduct electricity. In bridging that small gap you can essentially short out the circuit. If your body is a better insulator than a conductor you may not drop calls, lose a bit of signal strength yes, but not the entire call.

I've been selling Invisible Shields like mad because they prevent your skin from bridging the two pieces.

I'm also without a new iPhone 4 thus far because we're still in talks with Bell to see if we'll be able to stock them. If so then they MAY buy out my existing contract to switch me over.

Time will tell, but I know one thing for sure. I'll have one soon.
