        one of the worst phone of this year, apple iphone 4:

        1. videocalling only when wi-fi is available.
        2. still no memory card slot.
        3. pixels per inch on the screen is too much for the human eye.
        4. reception issues.
        5. no real multi-tasking.
        6. no flash support.
        7. battery still isn't removable.
        8. proximity sensor isn't good enough compare to other mobile phone manufacturers.
        9. poor loudspeakers.
        10. most of all, steve jobs, as a ceo of apple, must test first all of there devices before they would release. and if they made a mistake, make a proper step in order to correct those mistakes and not by using other mobile phone manufacturer's devices to compare to there lousy iphone 4.

        even if they release firmware updates, they couldn't erase the fact that they failed this time, and this will be the start of there fall.

                          With his kind of "unique" attitude, I really wonder if Steve will still keep his second name that is "jobs". Nonetheless his "Courage" really is impresive in some way.

                            I still believe the iPhone 4 should be Samsung Galaxy S , it looks like it it does the same ...but it`s better in any way ,anything (and if some smartass in here will want to tell me that the display in the apple iPhone 4 is better...well when you put this 2 device next to each other the iPhone looks like black & white comparing to the super amoled...so dropi it about the resolution..)

                              JustMe, 19 Jul 2010From the moment they announced that the iphone 4 has an ext... moreThe issue isn't the external antenna, external antennas to some degree have their advantages in reception strength. However where Apple messed up was by putting the join mark at the bottom left of the phone where a right handed person would hold the phone to use there phone for browsing etc and a left handed person would use for calling. If they had of been able to place the join elsewhere then the issue would not have been as significant. Realistically they should have put the wifi band internal and used the external for cell signal. However, in all honesty the issue really isn't that big of a deal, you don't even notice it and when you do you move your hand for 5 seconds and it's back...

Who knows if the iphone4 issue may lead or improve the risk of getting cancer much more than other phones? Wonder why they don't test this right away as this is a very serious issue, indeed!

                                    apple shouldnt have pointed fingers at the other manufacturers. Its their fault and they should own up and deal with it. No use pointing fingers and trying to make it seem like its minor.

                                    Apple should have conducted proper tests before releasing the phone.
