iPhone 4 Hands-On Reviews and First Impressions

[thechungster]

hey guys... did anyone else notice the little grid above the earpiece on the white iphone 4... i think it's the second mic? why is it not visible on the black? shadows?

From what I've read...it's the proximity sensor or the light sensor or both. Oh and it is very slightly visible on the black one, but only under bright light and under scrutiny:

Woah... that's amazing. I hope the next iPod touch will be as awesome as this.

Musings about Evo vs Iphone

After reading all these discussions back and forth. It seems to me that the EVO has merits and the iphone has them too.

I had a Nexus One for 30 days and as much as I tried to like it, it seemed not ready for prime time. It was just not as polished as the iphone. I am sure the EVO is great after tweaking it around and changing things. Frankly I don't have time to fool around with my phone. It has to work as advertised. I don't run my life with it but it is handy. I don't tweet to tell everyone what I am doing every minute of my day. I still actually meet people face to face for conversations.

I had an issue with my iphone 3gs dropping calls so I called ATT and reported it. They did something because now I have no more dropped call and I live in Irvine, California and travel to LA and San Diego alot with no issues anymore. Perhaps those of you that are having problems should call ATT and complain and see if they can reset their server or what ever they do, it seemed to work for me.

I recently installed IOS 4 on the phone and tried to jailbreak it but I screwed up so now I have to live with an unjailbroken phone for a few weeks until the official IOS 4 gets release and smarter guys than me can jail break it. Jail breaking was nice but not a crucial must have.

I am still up in the air about Facetime because it seems pretty convenient to include others to an event that I am attending when they are not there or vice versa. Imagine a business meeting but you can't be there. Alot more convenient than trying to rig up Skype or Cisco if I am at a wifi location. I also have alot of friends in Germany and they always call during a party with the "wish you were here" or "I would like you to meet Stephanie" comments. At least this time I can participate with them. The closes thing to partying by remote.

I frankly think that Android will be huge, but again they are using the Microsoft business model. Will this be successful? Probably, unless Apple stops innovating. Some say that Apple is not really innovating and only copying what was available on Nokias and Ericsson, but Apple does it so well. If not they would not have sold 50M iphones since it came out.

I am pretty indifferent about the phones that I use. I would have an EVO if it allowed me to use it in Europe or Asia since I go there alot, but since I can't I have an iphone. I also have a Nokia E71 with me for the times the iphone battery need to be charged and I still have to work. At least i can just swap out the sim to the Nokia.

Thanks for reading my ramblings but, you know at the end it's just a phone.

Starting to believe (and hope) it's coming to another USA carrier given how AT&T is being so "nice" with upgrades to lock people into another 2yr contract

That's exactly what I was thinking.
