i agree, everytime I whip it out (haha) at say the bookstore, etc... "young" girls always approach me to ask about it. funny.

My Ford Raptor is a total dude magnet and I am a dood. Yuck, hahahahahaha:p
 
I guess it could depend on where you live. I live in SoCal where iPhone users are everywhere. There is like four different Apple Stores within a 25 mile radius from me. I saw dozens of iPhone 4 users when I went to San Diego and San Francisco the last two weekends. From a distance, my iPhone 4 looks like any older model because of the bumper.

But pretty cool that some of you get the attention. Just make sure it is not unwanted ones. I stopped caring about using my phone as an attention seeker. No need for a random stranger's approval. Besides, having a bumper and putting in my belt case keeps it obscure most of the time. I get all paranoid just holding it because I might drop it or I get these unwanted stares. Driving my BMW and Lexus is good enough for me. Chick magnet from a $300 phone? Is that game? Ha! My family wears sunglasses and watches that cost that much! But who cares if you have any of that. Build your confidence and sense of humor from within and not the materials you buy. Things don't last as long as personality.
 
Good for you OP. I'm forwarding this thread to my business partner who has been bummed ever since he got a few "can you hold it like a phone?" and "does yours have problems?" and " I hear it breaks easily".

Those are the exact comments i get on mine, never something like, awesome!
 
So as much as this might be pointless to post.....I have so many people here on the DC metro system tell me my phone is so nice. I've even had girls talk to me randomly asking me about the phone. I went out to eat today and the staff at this high end restaurant were in awe about the phone and how nice it is.....anyone else have this experience? It's flattering yet annoying...and I am scared I might get jacked for my phone. hehe.

Be careful on the DC Metro. There have been a number of people who have had their phone stolen just before the train doors close before the train leaves a station. The thieves grab the phone and run out of the train just before the doors close.
 
Yeh, I get the same thing. Also very afraid of getting jacked too. I'm aware of my surroundings when I take it out. Let's face it, it's a hot item that's hard to get. Imagine the cash someone could make if they took it.

I'd feel the same way, but I don't know anyone in their right mind that would attempt to rob me lol. Maybe I should hold my phone out in public more often :)

And I don't know what switch you gotta flip for the dude/chick switcher but I seem to be having a whole lotta dudes coming up to me asking about it. Where in settings is the option to change to chicks?!
 
I'm not sure about it helping with hook-ups, but I've had random strangers just walk up and ask about my phone. And then ask if I have reception problems haha. It's not as if I was already talking to them, they just come up and do the, "excuse me..."

Wow, way to brag. No wonder so many people hate mac/iPhone users...
 
I had this lady come up to me and ask me about my iPad once. She wanted to know how I liked and stuff.

Today, I went jogging with my friend who has a 3G. We were at his house and he showed my iPhone 4 to his Dad, both of them were in awe. First question he asked me was about the reception issues. I didn't have them. :p

What is your job?

LOL AMEN BROTHER...

I just can't justify spending 60 grand on a Lux car. I have spent 40 grand on my Roush and another 10 on my bike... I guess if I was "this guy" loaded then maybe but some of us just aren't that lucky.

1) So before no one would talk to you?
2) The wait staff a the restaurant spit in your food at the ostentatious display.
3) You're "flattered" by attention paidcto an ACCESSORY? :confused:
 
Until you get an actual DATE out of it, people are just talking to you because they like the PHONE. Not you..
Sorry, dudes

CONFESSION TIME: I hooked up with a chick who lives around the block with the Flurv app. So technically my phone did get me laid, just in a different context.

And if you're wondering, yes I was quite ashamed of myself.

That's kind of badass dude. No shame!
