Hi all,
How do I find out if my Iphone 4 is or has been correctly factory unlocked FOREVER? By this, I mean able to take any global SIM card (made GSM/SIM free).
When I purchased it, it was on O2. I presume it was o2 locked. My SIM card is o2. However I want to move back to T Mobile and use it when I am abroad with foreign SIM cars in mainland Europe, US & Africa.
I called customer services at o2 and the guy said they have done but it not official and not 100% guranteed to work. He said rumours have it from upstairs (management) that the software will be available officially in January.
I hope it is not a temporary unlock where I update my iphone software (I always do) and then it locks back to o2 usage only. Please advise especially those who have permanently unlocked their phones.
One backstreet shop to me to pay £80 and they would factory unlock it for me. o2 didn't charge me anything.
Thanks.

I have HTC Desire and my girlfriend has THE iPhone4. She asked me to make her a list of pros and cons of both phones. All I could think of as a pro of iPhone4 was the retina display. The rest, cons already. True enough, her camera and photo features plus display are really great! Very clear! Clear for blind people. Right? Look at her now, bored with her phone already. HARHARHAR.

Not my survey, you don't like it, bring it up to them. Just because Apple isn't in there, does not mean you can not compare the brands that happen to be in the survey. Seriously, you are having such problems dealing with the concept of a survey, it makes me wonder either about your age or your IQ.
Let me give you an example, can you compare how happy owners are with Tata, Mahindra and Mahindren? Now, are you not able to compare Mahindra with Mahindren, just because Tata is not included in the survey?
Of course if the survey claims that is a COMPLETE overview of the super car industry, then we can claim that it is incomplete by excluding certain car brands. I hope this makes it clear, although I doubt it very much in your case

Its true I am using iPhone since long and used its all versions. Now I have iPhone4 but don't know why people don't understand the unique technology of iPhone and without realising its hidden worth they start criticising its features, just oposition for the sake of oposition.
If we think with cool mind, you will find all over the world every Mobile Phone Company trying to copy Apple technology somehow and trying to surpass Apple but till date not even its TOUCH. The reason is simple that, Apple is the inventor.
If its Blue Tooth is only for iPhone to iPhone, the reason only that, Apple doesn't want that, any other cell phone software could affect iPhone software in Data/file transfer like virus etc.
If iPhone only works through iTune - then so what, iTune has millions millions features, applications, games and music and most of free for iPhone users.
So what, if, its memory is not expandable, but why don't you think it has no memory problem like other mobile phone.
So what, if, its camera is 5 MP. Did u see? Its picture quality is far better than 8, 10, 12 MP. Please compare its video/picture quality with any precious one.
So what if it doesn't have Flash, still its You Tube works best.
Then we have seen many tests of iPhone on You Tube.
- Threw on ground harshly smashed its screen - still it worked.
- Threw in water, washed & drowned in sinks, still it worked.
- It baked in heating (sandwich maker)- still it worked.
So please judge iPhone / Apple technology with prudence not on any grudge. Thank u.

The survey isn't really a big deal, its just k2nN getting his panties into a bunch. Take out the 2 Apple lines, and you get:
Changewave survey of customer satisfaction:
HTC Evo 4G - 76%
Motorola Droid 2 - 74%
RIM Blackberry Torch - 64%
Samsung Galaxy S - 55%
People getting all sensitive only because Apple topping the list. If this were the survey conducted, I don't think the Samsung butthurt guys would suddenly be slandering HTC all of a sudden right? Its just a survey guys, relax.

changewave survey of customer
satisfaction:
Apple iPhone 4 - 84% (32GB)
Apple iPhone 4 - 78% (16GB)
HTC Evo 4G - 76%
Motorola Droid 2 - 74%
RIM Blackberry Torch - 64%
Samsung Galaxy S - 55%
****************************
summary- 1) 84% iphone user never use bluetooth file transfer
2) 84% iphone user dont use flash n memory slot.
3) 84% iphone user is a sucker, always pay for app or games from apple.
4) 84% iphone user seldom make call, that why they dont mind the reception issue.
5) 84% iphone user dont mind paying high price for low tech iphone.
if the changewave survey is real, 84% iphone user is a SUCKER.
but i think the survey is apple marketing gimmick to get more sucker.

People love to bash Apple and the iPhone, but the VAST MAJORITY of those people are not/were not iPhone owners! I absolutely love my iPhone 4, it's a million times better than my Blackberry Bold 9700 it replaced. The design is beautiful, the user interface is great and the antenna issue was way overblown...never had a problem with reception or calls dropping except in areas with poor coverage where nobody else can get service with other phones. The only thing that I don't like is not having a hardware keyboard. Blackberrys have a perfect keyboard, but that's not enough to get me to switch back.
Please DO NOT bash a phone that you have not owned. If you've owned it and hated it, feel free to give your opinion, but otherwise don't try to "make a point" by restating complaints made by a TINY FRACTION of owners.
