Heartbbreak Kid, 25 Jun 2010Just over 20 Apps...wooooooooohhhh!!! ha haWell iPhone started with less than 20 apps and a far worse build quality. Heck it wasn't even a smartphone.

If apple keeps releasing craps like this even wave will overtake them =))))))

          Heartbreak Kid, 25 Jun 2010A mobile phone should not give you nightmares pal! Thats un... moreApple fans are so stupid and you are an example of this.

          its been proved that iPhone 4 is cheap made and comes with defect.

          it has signal reception issue, yellow spoted screen, and scratch issue as well. It scatters even if falls from 2 feet.

          so tell me why are you arguing? At least wave does't have a single issue like this.

          You are proving why people call you i sheep or i fool.
          Because i fans are worth that

            I KNEW IT. I knew from this news post's topic that a heck load of iphone haters/ other fanboys will troll the iphone. =_____=''

            Can't you just shut it? Both sides of fanboys seems to be baa-ing the hell out of each other..

            Well, judging by the way it seems, it simply says Apple cannot cope with the demand it got. Which means for certain some phones are bound to have annoying issues. Like what the topic is about.

            Apple pushed production too quickly. And yet they are seriously short in stock, and yet due to quick production they have issues such as the yellow spot for example.

            Shame.

            Due to its hype people who bought it expect the best of the best, the flaws stated are making alot of people unfortunate to get the ones with the flaws disappointed.

Yes the iPhone 4 screen is capable of shattering, but really a product of this value needs to be looked after properly in the first place. I dont believe the iPhone 4 will shatter after a single drop or 2. But then again its what kind of surface you drop the phone on that can have an impact. I know the iPhone 4 will have cracks appearing if I was to drop it on concrete.

                  In my opinion if anyone purchased the iPhone thinking it will be break resistant needs their heads testing lol Its glass after all. But also if someone is accident prone and has a knack of dropping phones, buying a £500 phone is definately not a good idea!!! lol A product of this price range needs to be looked after properly for sure.

Its a solid, gorgeous looking phone. Yeah its gonna break cos of its weight. Its only a thin sheet of glass used, not the same thickness as a high speed train. And the iPhone 4 is still the same price as lot of its competitors! £499.99 sim free. The Samsung Galaxy and Nokia N8, which doesnt look that good, is the same price range. Think id rather take my chances on the iPhone 4.

                      Since one of the Apple guys compare this crystal/glass/actually plastic with sapphire crystal (watch Apple's official videos and you'll hear it)!!!
                      If you compare this material with sapphire crystal, then make sure it has the same specs and properties, but in this case it doesn´t.Look, i've been using cellphones since '95, and some of them had fall to the ground, but none of them broke their screens like that! And i'm talking about heavier phones here! In the video here you saw a tipical fall, not a guy smashing the damm thing.
                      I don't care much about the N8 because of the Symbian OS, it's good, but not great, and in a phone with those specs (better than the IPhone 4) it deserves a much better OS.
                      Another thing is the looks of the phone, which have nothing to do with the build quality or materials, unless if you only see that when you buy a new phone (or anything else).Take Apple computers for example, yes they're pretty (except for the dust magnet the case are), niceLOOKING OS (based in Linux), but when you need to do some serious work, you buy for the same money better hardware and build a PC.
                      The bottom line is if you like the IPhone 4, if it fills all your needs in a phone and you can affored it, then buy it!!!

                                        It's easy: If you think this is the best invention after the wheel, buy it!!!
                                        Then, if you have problems with it but you fanatism is bigger than that, don't say anything...
                                        If you just buy it because Apple made it, then you're a dumbass...
                                        Like anything else, it's a tool, you have to select the best for the job, in my case, the best tool it's (so far) a Blackberry, maybe an Android based phone in the future when i find any with the specs i'd like to see.
