My thoughts after having the iphone 4...

Love the iP4! I can't stop playing with this little beauty. I'm obsessed with the camera and always taking a bunch of pictures.

Agree completely - I love the camera. I haven't been this obsessed with a camera since I got my first DSLR a year ago. I love being able to take decent shots of just about anything, and while the low light pics aren't perfect, they're alright, especially when the alternative is no picture at all. The video is awesome too, I'm actually quite pleased with the video performance in low light, and the sound is decent too.

I've had my phone since June 23rd and the newness hasn't worn off. I still play with it all the time - love the high res screen, looking for apps, using Knocking Live to send video to my bf (and vice versa). It's virtually eliminated the frustration of waiting in line for something - just pull out your iPhone :)

I'm sitting at my laptop right now, out at my computer desk, but I have my iPhone 4 sitting right next to me, for when I want to pick it up and mess with it. Which is often :cool:

That's just cruel to me.....
 
Video call from the beach today (using fring). Then I edited a spreadsheet and emailed it out (quickoffice). Read a book, listened to some music, played some games. Awesome device.
 
I've always loved the iPhone and I love this one even more... There is just so much that you can do with the phone and it works flawlessly. I've tried out the Android Increadible for 2 weeks when it first came out and although it was a great phone it was to glitchy.

The only complaint that I have with the iPhone 4 isnt the phone itself its the network (AT&T) that I have issues with. As i've said to many people its phone over network. You can't use your phone without service and you can't use your phone if it dosnt work right.
 
I'm very happy with my iPhone 4, the best thing about it is the balance between performance and battery life. Compared to other smartphones I've used the battery seems to last forever on the iPhone 4. The retina display is great and text is the most readable out of any smartphone probably. The camera is quite awesome for a cameraphone and the flash is actually really bright.
 
I've had mine for a week now and love it (upgraded from my 3 year old original iPhone).

I'm waiting on my "free" ($3.50 shipping) case from Boxwave. I have it in one of my original iPhone cases for now -- feel terrible hiding it in this old case, but I want to protect it.

The best new feature for me is the real GPS vs. the original iPhone using cell towers and having a big blue circle I was somewhere inside of.

Looking forward to upgrading in 3 years to the iPhone7!!!
 
I bought my first iPhone last November. A 3GS which I thought was the best phone out and didn't plan to upgrade after only having the phone for seven months but when I saw the keynote speech I changed my mind. So on June 24th I rushed out to get one. I was fortunate because I went to my local Walmart and they only had one iPhone 4 and I was first in line. I didn't notice the great display at first on the way home until I was doing some things on the 3GS and then I saw the big difference. It is like watching standard tv program and then watching a hd program. It is a great difference in the phones and the 3GS was really a great phone. But the ip4 is in my opinion the top of the line. Yes there are phones out there that do more but the iPhone does Everything smoothly and without a lot of pushing buttons. Every time I play with a friends phone I get frustrated because their touch screen doesn't work like the iPhone. I have absolutely no problems with my phone but I am also in a good coverage area. I can repeat the death grip but from day one I have had a case on the phone. And I can't imagine touching those strips with normal use anyway. I do get the yellow images with the camera but turning on flash does the trick. I am completely happy and my only problem is I can't put the phone down. I haven't use my desktop but maybe twice since I've gotten the phone

Same here. I have loved the iPhone since my son's momma brought us home matching 3G phones. Then we went with the 3GS.. Now the 4. I don't know why anyone who owns an iPhone would use an iPod Touch? I have an ipod nano that stores more than enough on the go music.

As for all the other functions of the iPod Touch, enter iPhone.

why would you not have a case on it? it's made of glass.. I thought you said you liked it, don't you want it to last for a while?

Because some of us don't treat our stuff like crap. I've had every iPhone before this and never a problem due to not having a case.
 
You know the one regret for Apple in the Smartphone Wars was not launching it originally on more carriers in the states. Do you think anyone would own an Android phone right if Verizon and Sprint had the iPhone starting back in 2007? It would have been the Windows of Smart phones. In reality its still dominate but would have been world domination if it had landed on the other carriers. Who would knew how popular it really would become. I reiterate how much I love the iPhone. Its not about being a fanboy. I tell people this... I don't think its the best because I use it ... i use it because its the best.
