Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Absolutely stunning even on my 3gs

mmm, not a 4. 3g or 3gs

Dude got a broken iPhone. Mine doesn't do any of those things, really it doesn't.


3G with OS4? mine does this shit, but my girlfriend's 3GS does not (or at least to a lesser degree).

Upvote for truth in advertising (3G/iOS4 owner here).

Yes, I do know someone, myself. I had no intention of putting a case around the beautiful aesthetics of this phone. It is hardly "stupidity" to know you can care for a phone, my 3G has been uncased since I purchased it and there is not a single scratch on it.

My comment on a $1 price point, was merely trying to state that the price is not the issue, it is the attitude and behaviour of the manufacture.

Apple was well aware of the issues with phone antenas, as evident in their press release and knowing that every tiny piece of this phone would have gone through stringent approval processes. The location of the antena is no mistake and that makes it an issue. Apple's disregard for making what appears to be an intentional mistake (oxymoron but I'm not sure how to describe it) is what I believe is pissing people off. It is what is pissing me off anyway.

I can entirely agree that sensationalist stories are blowing it way way out and I will regret calling it "shoddy" as it is still one of the best phones ever made but I don't believe that excuses Apple or their "buy a case" solution, it is a level of arrogance that is even surprising out of Apple.

Yes it is a big deal. It would be a big deal if it was a $1 phone, it's awful design and a shoddy product, from a company who does nothing but tout their superior design. It's an amazingly bad mistake for a very expensive phone.
If you look at my past comments, it will be no secret I love Apple. But this quite frankly is just too much and you can't possibly defend it.
Apple fucked up.
>> ^Mcboinkens:
Is this really that big of a deal? If you buy any sort of case for the phone this is not an issue. It would be idiotic not to buy a case for a 200 dollar phone anyway, especially with the back cover being glass inseat of plastic now.



You just restated my point. Do you know anyone that WON'T be buying some kind of case for a phone this expensive? If you do, they probably deserve to be smacked with their stupidity. I am not defending the design, it is obviously flawed and needs to be corrected. But seriously, it does not to be blown out of proportion like some people have. I don't even own any Apple products except my iPod, so I am fairly balanced on my opinion.
Also, your point about a $1 phone is invalid. A $1 phone would obciously have mistakes like this that would not make it a big deal. This one problem by no means makes the new iPhone an awful design and shoddy product. They crammed so much new technology into an even sleeker design.

Even if the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 are right next to each other and they use the same provider the reception on iPhone 4 is obviously shit compared to the 3GS so isn't there a bigger problem with the antenna than just the left corner bug?

It means it has more 3G, right?

>> ^Payback:

Just the fact teh 3G symbol is bigger makes me want one!

Welcome back! Why took so long to find non-3G Internet?

I hope you don't hold the expensive 3G internet against our fair city.

Welcome to Melbourne! (belatedly)

First up: I think the iPhone 4 looks great, I do, it's a really nice looking piece of kit.

But again with Apple trying to pretend they invented something. Video calling now? Really? Really... the feature that has been on pretty much EVERY 3G phone out there? And it's not even doing it over 3G?

Come on guys, don't insult people. Even your average Joe knows that phones have had video calling for years now.

I hadn't watched this presentation, only the video 'ads' they have for it, and I seriously didn't think they'd be so bold as to try to suggest that NOW it's a reality, when it's been so for ages. I thought they might say that the iPhone gives a BETTER experience, but not try to suggest it's created it. Man.

I'd consider getting one if the 3G ones weren't absolutely rediculously expensive.

I have an Ipod Touch, I've got tons of things on it, but my major gripe is the fact that it's a pain in the ass to hit the minor details on things.

Surfing the web especially. Ever tried to use the search function on videosift on an iphone/touch? Damned near impossible.

It's light enough that reading a book on it would be a decent use, and being able to watch movies on it, hell that's still never a bad thing..

My only true issue with it is cost, if I'm spending that much money, why not spend a bit more to get a better laptop.

If the 4G was weeks away from release, then yes, I might buy the viral advertising thing...

I don't buy it. It makes no sense to market the new phone this way. There's a shitload of brand-spanking-new-in-box 3Gs in Apple and ATT stores across the country waiting to be sold.

Showing the public that the man behind the curtain is going to make those still-shrink-wrapped 3Gs obsolete within a year by releasing the 4G sometime soon is a magnificent way to keep people from buying the phones that are already in stores.

Looks better that the 3gs and older.

Considering what it does, I would call it "Apple" expensive.

$500 is too much, and that's the cheapest one.
