    mafiosa, 26 Jun 2010i jus hate the box shaped i phone... i donno y som people ... moreApple is one of the biggest company in the world of mobile... So if the phone has an issue with the network for a longer time i dont think news will ever spare the company which will lead to spoil the good will of the company hence apple will definitely take care of it which is already done.

    Battery can be changed just go to the apple store

    The front glass is made up of the glass which is used in Helicopters which is 30 times harder than normal plastic so when people say there is no safety for money it just indicates the lack of knowledge

    Because of the Retina Display the Crisp in every photograph is unbeatable not even an 8 mp camera can beat it.

    Galaxy 2 is a good option in comparision of i phone 4 but again its made up of plastic body which is risky.. Though the configuration of galaxy 2 beats the iphone 4 but can u actually make use of that great configuration? Durability and usage will create a difference when u compare both the phones.

    Once again i phone remains the most user friendly phone among all.

    Over here Maximum number of people who criticizes i phone 4 either dont have one or can't afford one so if u really need some advice check with the person who is using it or check some reliable resources.

        Dont have either but from reports lcd still does better whites and oled can pull off darker blacks, with oled whites lookin blue and lcd blacks lookin grey. I think its personal opinion at mo maybe oled will get better at colours as it develops.

          Bricked, 27 Jun 2010On the positive side, the iphone's display beats the Galaxy... moreGalaxy s has a super amoled display, completely different technology, better in many ways compare to ips lcd. IPS screens are perfect for desktop computers, the color is accurate, angles are wide, iPad has an IPS screen. if you ask apple will say that they have invented Retina technology display, but what it really is, is a LCD made by IPS technology with640 x 960 pixel resolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFT_LCD#In-plane_switching_.28IPS.29
          SuperAMOLED needs 30% less power, is very thine, and there has been many and many comparison reviews around net.

            didn't feel like reading through the 600 + msg

            if you put a rubber cover on the phone will it cancel out the signal issue of holding the phone in the wrong spot?

                  On the positive side, the iphone's display beats the Galaxy's. (brighter and crisper) and the Gyroscope should make games more interesting.

                  And as for Apple lying. I seem to remember Nokia saying that the N95 was "what computers have become" which was a plain lie in itself.

                  Not one smartphone out there can be classed as a "computer", not even the almighty N900.

                    Anonymous, 27 Jun 2010I think you're just jealous because despite trying so hard ... moreno one jealous at your iphone.

                    iphone is a beautiful piece of devices.
                    having an iphone is like having a model as a girl friend
                    beautiful, yet fragile
                    great to show off, but not really useful

                    symbian is the other way around
                    having a symbian is like having a great wive
                    charming and stable
                    can't make other jealous, but provide anything i need

                    so,
                    iphone is a boy who just want a fling phone
                    if you mature enough, you'll be change to symbian.

                                  They said the glass was crack/scratch proof. Well it both scratches and cracks easily. At leas plastic doesn't.

                                  As for the signal they're either going to fake it or boost it to dangerous levels.

                                  Too bad for the sukcers who sat in line/preordered.

                                    The yellow spots are glue. there are 4 layers of glass for the screen, where they have been glued & havn't been left to dry for long enough are the yellow spots. they should go after a week or 2 max.
