[deleted post]Ahhhh, how sweet.  Don't feel sorry for me buddy.  I am very much enjoying my ip4.  It's the most reliable, advance, and worth the price phone I've ever had, from a company who truly cares and loves their customers :)

    elsergio, 27 Jul 2010why are you so happy for Apple making money when you're not... morethey did show for all the money that they have earned lol

    100million dollar room and a phone that took a year to make and still messed up XD
    in that year they should have paid nokia and made bumpers XD

    100million devided by 50cents in 50,000,000 bumpers could have been made.......

            Nah, the ip4 already sold over 3 million units in 3 weeks.  They've been sold out of ip4's since day 1 and up to now.  I don't think those 300 non-ip4 users in can make a difference :)

            Don't feel sorry for Apple buddy.  They make billions of dollars every quarter :)

              also it means that those 300 will NOT recommend iphone4 for their friends. So the number for ip4 haters increases so quickly. Feel sorry for APPLE their marketing strategy works opposite way

                Wow. 343 comments.

                43 comments from iphone4 users saying that they're happy with their iphone4.

                300 comments from non-ip4 users complaining about reception issues and demanding a recall.


                It seems like those who don't have the iphone4 are more affected by the ip4 antennagate than actual ip4 users, Hahahahahahaha

                    Anonymous, 27 Jul 2010The N900 is the same as the 3GS. The A4 is custom design... moreyou know it's a lie from apple right

                    A4 is overclocked A8

                    everyone knows this already there is no custom design for the A4

                    it's the same BS appple pulled for the retina display

                    LCD can displays more pixels then AMOLED

                    but also LCD eats more power

                    Liquid crystal
                    can't beat Light emitting diodes

                    just display more
                    that's all

                    steve is only good at clouding and confusing people

                    if even a EYE doctor can say the retina display is useless then
                    obviously something is wrong

                      its true that maybe the iPhone doesnt have a good camera like other phones, and some other features as well. but maybe thats just what peoples need.
                      and yes its overrated, but some people likes to pay 1000usd for a jacket when you can protect yourself from the winter with a 10usd jacket too. but thats the peoples choice. if they want to pay more for the name, the brand, the luxury, THATS THEIR CHOICE and theres nothing wrong about it

                          Jay, 27 Jul 2010That's just your opinion. I know people that are VERY happy... moreyou'll see lol

                          soon the battery will have problems


                          i already know about the CPU in the iphone which is the same on in the N900,milestone/droid and palm pre

                          ARM CortexA8 renamed A4 so they can sound different

                          as i will tell you this

                          ARM cortexA8 in the N900 can reach 1.2ghz and as well in the palm pre

                          bad size

                          it heats up fast since it's overclocked

                          in a high climate place the N900 can only reach a safe 850mhz

                          in low climate place 900+mhz

                          ipad and iphone have the CPU overclocked to almost it's max

                          plus they have a half a$$ed heat sync

                          and if you see the design for the N900 there is space for air to come in and out to cool device off

                          ipad and iphone 4 have the same overclocked CPU with terrible heat sync and bad design so the interal parts can cool off

                          so iphone 4 will suffer the same fate as the ipad......overheating and shutting off in 25 degree Celsius weather
                          plus glass front and glass back ....equal sauna

                              And if you've actually used the thing, the iPhone 4 has BETTER battery life then all the rest... with 4 x the resolution and faster CPU... hmm... how the hell did that happen? Please do some research before you start typing.

                                Not the iOS per se, but the ability to choose many many different apps for the same purpose.

                                But a jailbroken iPhone CAN be customized in many many ways. This is even true for the 1st Gen iPhone which you can customize themes, 5 icon dock, wallpaper, fonts, lock screen information, virtually everything. And of course allows the phone to be unlocked for world use (not yet for 4 but soon). This is another very fun thing to do on this phone. It allows virtually anyone to be a "hacker!"

                                      um 900+x600+ for resolution

                                      and it's crappy since it eats more battery life

                                      since the resolution is more dense


                                      which is useless

                                      800x480 is actually the best resolution for 3.5 - 4 inch screen
