I love mine. It's the best phone I've owned yet; like my old iPhone 3G was but faster, more capable, smaller and prettier.

However it's not all plain sailing - I've noticed the antenna problem and it's not perfect. But I don't mind that. It hasn't affected my calls, or bothered me at all.

So I give mine a nice square 4.
 
3/4 because of the antenna issues, but I am confident that a software update will fix it, because the same thing happened with Nexus One on T-Mobile...and a software update fixed it.

Other than that, this phone blows any other phone out of the water, even my older iPhones.
 
The best build quality since the original iPhone! I'm constantly amazed by how nice the build quality is after having the 3GS with crappy build quality for a year.

No signal problems here. It's the new "freezing mac," unfortunately.

Same. :D
 
3/4

Maybe because of the Gizmodo leak that made me lose the hype for it


but anyways the hardware is NICE, i dont think the issues effect me much

however, the software is dated, i would love a new one

4/4. Perfect so far!
 
4/4

I love the new design. It looks cool, it is thin enough to fit in my pocket without me feeling my phone against my leg, and I don't get the antenna issue so... I freaking love it.

I upgraded from the original iPhone, so the speed is blowing me away, and I just can't stop looking at things on the screen because everything looks so pretty. My phone is now MUCH more usable than my old iPhone.
 
4/4, even with the reception issues. (and, apparently, the lack of retina-display-optimized apps.)

I have a case, and honestly it does seem to head off the bulk of the reception issues. Additionally, the case gives me piece of mind - with all the folks dropping their phones lately (all dozen or 2 million, depending on whether you exaggerate or not), I just feel safer with a case. I think the case I got is pretty sweet looking, so win/win.

The "blurry" apps don't bother me. Think about it. If a single pixel used to be a color we'll call "1" on the old display, the only difference now is you have a square of four pixels that are all "1". There's no difference there. Sure it'll be better when the app gets updated and you have four distinct pixels instead of four same-colored pixels, but that'll come in time.

This phone is fast. I love using it. There are still bugs in OS 4.0, but those will also be fixed in time. 3.0 wasn't free of bugs either, that's how we eventually got to 3.1.3. I'm sure 4.0.1 is around the corner.

All in all, I'm very, very pleased with my phone. NO regrets.
