Wow, I've had for iPhone 3G for two years and the iPhone 4 is so much faster, and more responsive, I love it
Funny you should say that -- I've noticed that a few animations on my iPhone 4 are a tad choppier than they were on my 3GS (folder opening animation is one). Also, I have about 500MB less free space on my 4 compared to the exact same configuration on my 3GS. Still, love the phone...and I expect any choppiness/sluggishness will be ironed out with future iOS updates.
I love this thing. It's such a massive step forward in all facets of operation in comparison to the 3G. I can actually play the FPS games and not be constantly let down with the frame rate. The screen really has to be seen to believe (having it sit next to your old device is even better).
I didn't expect to be wowed by the display resolution but it really looks like a sticker that somebody glued on -- it's that crisp.
When i first turned it on and saw the "connect to itunes screen" I was already completely amazed by the resolution! The screen is without a doubt simply amazing! The camera is absolutely perfect too, and the video quality is great! The colors are all awesome too, and the way the phone physically feels in your hand is perfect too.
iPhone 4 ftw!
Apps need updating though, all the icons are pixelated
The only thing i dont like is having to go in and manually close everything that is 'multitasking.' That isnt an iPhone 4 issue, but and iOS4 issue. I hope they can figure out something better for multitasking in the future.

Yep I'm still using the 4GB model right now, upgrading to iPhone 4 32GB model tomorrow morning biggest upgrade possible I guess.
i am having trouble installing apps.. it keeps saying i need to be connected to the store. if i log out of itunes and back in on the phone, it seems to work for a short period of time. maybe its because everyone out there is trying the same thing?
ETA: i just re-synced and it worked.. whew..

Uhh...Is anyone else missing the preloaded "Voice Control" app? I thought this was standard. I upgraded from a 3G and was looking forward to trying it out but it's not on my my new iPhone 4 Anyone???
I just pressed and held the home button (one press)
I don't even remember a Voice Control 'app'
My voice control worked as always. Hold the home button. iPhone 4=INCREDIBLE!!! great screen, quick, folders rock. All good.
now that you mention it, yeah. Maybe they decided not to install it lol
EDIT: Ohhhhh hold the home button! Thanks!
I just put my 3G along side the 4 and opened MotionX GPS in my house.
The iPhone 4 shows eight green bars while the 3G can only triangulate from here.
I haven't gone for a drive with turn by turn but i'm encouraged by my little test.
the screen really is amazing. the whole phone is amazing. i'm blown away...then again i'm coming from the original iphone!
i'm not eligible for full subsidized pricing, but i do get the 399 price. i asked them if i wanted to just buy the phone at full price with no commitment, can i do that? twice, i was told no.
