Hi everyone,

I love my iphone 4, but after almost 30 days of usage here are the things that bug the crap out of me. I was a 2nd gen ipod touch user, so I pretty much knew what to expect, but anyway...

I was definitely hit by the prox sensor issue. Since 4.1, I have not noticed any problems, but I also haven't been on any long calls which is where I noticed the PS issue the most. Jury is still out - I will assume this is GTG.

Since 4.1 came out, my text free app is buggy as hell. Keeps crashing. Very annoying. Anyone else experiencing this that has a fix, please let me know!

The bumper - I like it a lot except for 1 thing. I can't use a fair amount of headphone cords with it because the hole is now too deep. I have to modify some cords to make them work. This is frustrating.

The accelerometer (at least I think this is what is doing it) - If I set my phone down, it automatically (almost without fail) transitions to landscape mode. This is frustrating as crap! I want to set it down on a table sometimes so I can text and use both hands on the keyboard, or if I need to text and do something else it is nice to set it down. I don't want to lock it in portrait mode, but it would be nice if it would stay there when I put it down. Not a big deal, but just annoying.

Lastly is the shake to shuffle function on the ipod app. I love the feature, but sometimes it is overly sensitive. It is frustrating when you are listening to a song and you want to play it again so you get your phone out of your pocket and the dang thing shuffles the music on you. Again, I like the feature but because it is sometimes hit or miss it becomes annoying.

I think that's it for my list of complaints so far. I don't drop any more calls than I ever did with my old phone (RAZR2) though I do get far worse reception in my house which is irritating, but overall I still think this phone kicks the pants off anything else I've used since I've owned cell phones in the late 90's... Thanks for reading. Any tips/tricks surrounding this small issues would be appreciated!
