Apple iPhone 4

i think the reasons for Apple ’s failure with the iPhone4 are complex and unseparable from the
company ’s success among consumers. They prioritized looks (which made them popular) and
as a result had to compromise function. The
antenna design allows for a slimmer device,
however exposing it to the bare touch makes
reception a lot more vulnerable to interference
during normal use than for any other phone. Most of Apple ’s customers value their philosophy (form before function) and therefore will be
content with a cosmetic solution such as
changing the signal bar algorithm. Apple rely on
their fans ’ shallowness, and thus react as they did — which is disappointing to anyone capable of critical thinking.
The opposite to denial and cosmetic solutions — to take measures and fix the technical issue — would have to start with admitting that they
made a mistake. For a company that heavily relies
on a religious fan base, that would be a very hard
step which they chose not to take.
So, to answer briefly, they screwed up in all ways
possible, but they stayed true to themselves … and to their profits.

Anonymous, 14 Nov 2010if u r talking about that bs report posted clearly seems an... more why u in here? i dont understand??? u got no interest in buying the ip4 so why u here?
too much spare time on ur hands...
fact is u see the news and u cry... get over it...seriously, wanna tissue??
why would any company provide warranty on a phone with such apparrent flaws??? it would be suicide
ive owed the ip4 for over 4mths now and over the last 18mths or so ive owned about 10 highend smartphones from htc, lg, moto, nokia to se and this is the first phone which i have not had any issues with...none.
so u can say what u want, whatever makes u feel better, dont bother me. from my own experience with the phone and looking at most mobile review sites on the net, regard the ip4 as one of the best smartphones on the market.(so many review sites compare other phones to the ip4..why is that??) i actually now own the htc desire and the ip4 and in all honesty if i had, had had to deside on one id keep it would be the ip4
get over it.. move on, im sure u got better ways to waste ur time

If they recommended a phone that was unreliable, as reliable, they would kill themselves in the process. That's why their report would be more unbiased than the usual reports.

iOS is currently the best OS offering on the market. However, not everyone likes it. As an alternative though, it would be advisable to go maybe with WP7 or even Symbian, as Android has been found with severe security flaws.
359 flaws were discovered, with 88 being classified as high risk. This is very dangerous. Until these are patched, it may be advisable to go with alternative smartphones.

Apple could never do what the N8 does. The N8 offers free hotspot through Joiku, a better camera, all the important apps, and with the SBP shell the same pretty interface. Check it out...

first thing to remember every morning as you wake up is that Apple is a
$ 300 billion company second only to Exxon and the Iphone is 40% of the business

[deleted post]That interface certainly is a breath of fresh air for Nokia.
Regarding swipe for texting, it looks like its faster once you get used to it.

It can be concluded that iOS is superior to any offering other smartphone manufacturers have to offer out there. Until Android fixes it flaws, even WP7 or WebOS are more suitable alternatives.

It held the call fine and after 3 minutes I ended the call myself just to prove a point to you.
