Anonymous, 17 Aug 2010The iPhone 4 smashes any other smartphone based on sales, n... moreHow can one call the American networks "incompetent" when the only carrier of the iPhone is AT&T, who does a perfectly fine job of providing mobility service to 80+ million subscribers on a daily basis with extremely fast & integrated 3G & EDGE data service to go along with amazing coverage to over 97% of all Americans??
Also....how does it explain the fact that if AT&T is indeed so "incompetent" at providing service, (even on known fringe areas), there have never been any widespread reports of such extreme call failure rates with any other handset as with the iPhone4?
Just think about ridiculous that sounds.
Again, Apple's total sales are nothing ground-breaking whatsoever. If sales equate to success, & based on the logic of the majority of Apple consumers, then Nokia, who shipped a total of 111+ Million units in Q2 of 2010 alone, should be the most successful mobile company by leaps & bounds, but everyone knows that they are indeed struggling.
Maybe some of Apple zealots who are blinded by volume of sales equaling success, should take a remedial business & economics class before you pretend to know what the hell you are talking about.
I am just in awe that people are so blinded by Apple's hype machine, & have no qualms whatsoever with forking out almost $1000.00 for an unsubsidized mobile device, that in all reality, will be superseded by the next iteration of the iPhone. There is absolutely nothing, I repeat nothing, on the iPhone4 that makes it command such a premium price for features that are on par for today's mobile technological standards.
The Nokia N8, Samsung Galaxy S, HTC EVO 4G, Motorola Droid 2, DroidX, & MILESTONE XT720, all beat the iPhone4 on features, & handily I might add, for hundreds less, while at the same time don't require the consumer to be tied down Apple's proprietary B.S. such as USB cables, media transfers SW, basic UI customizations, & ridiculously over-priced cheap & gaudy Chinese accessories.
You can always tell the iPhone users who just aren't quite confident enough thinking they made the best choice by buying the iPhone4, with their never-ending rebuttals to anything negative posted about the iPhone4. If they truly were content with their decisions, they wouldn't be so compelled to seemingly defend to the death that the iPhone is indeed the best mobile on the market.....LOL

Looks like things are going ubnbiased little bit as a Sony Ericsson got an award . . . Really X10mini The Real Star. Totally defined a new trend of smartphones which are really mini and do serious work, and as usual the others followed/will be following. But surprise was LG pop with just 2.5 hrs of battery how can it be green ??? Solar panels ? how many will use them ??? This should have been another Sony Ericsson, Elm, Hazel or even better and smarter Aspen with recycled materials and much better battery life.

You must live i... moreyeah, of course i must be talking out my arse about the signal problems because no one else is having reception issues....LMAO, all of my other Nokia, Moto, & HTC devices all register full bars when placed on the exact same spot as the i Phone4. I love how anyone who says anything even remotely negative about Apple, they A) either dont own one, or B) have some personal vendetta,

Apple acquired the chip by buying Intrinisty, which actually made the chip. Although Samsung didn't own Apple A4 chip but Samsung did collaborate with Intrinsity to develop ARM Cortex-A8, which Apple A4 chip was based on. You can just google "intrinsity samsung cortex A8" and see the press release from Samsung.

Heh....
Apple won the "tablet" award. That is one competitive area....LOL
It only makes sense that in order for the iPhone4 to have won a mobile of the year award, making & taking calls is a prerequisite, but unfortunately, the iPhone4 fails miserably at that.
I would've posted this response from my iPhone4, but after I got my AT&T upgrade, I literally could not keep a solid signal whatsoever. The iPhone4 really is an abomination. I have never seen a device that favored fashion over function as badly as the made in China iPhone4 does.
Did I mention that the "multi-tasking" is as equally erratic & chaotic as the reception?
For a company that releases a single mobile device once a year, & coupled with all its resources, marketing, & hype, it is an utter failure.
Oh...& iFans, don't even bother bringing up the number of sales, it is perhaps the weakest argument in favor of the iPhone4 yet. Only a true simpleton would solely base a mobile's worth upon the volume on units sold.

deep space bar, 17 Aug 2010what a touchscreen computer that still dependant on a keybo... moreI know its off topic but the dumbest accessories imo for the iPad are the dock with a keyboard, conveniently made by Apple. Honestly, with the price of an iPad, and I'm not sure how much the dock and keyboard cost, why don't people just buy a laptop? Doesn't the physical keyboard somewhat defeat the purpose of the iPad? At least with a laptop you can work with it placed on your lap but with the attached keyboard and the dock you require a flat surface for the iPad. I have played around with the iPad and it's not that bad but for someone like me it's just an expensive toy that I could do without.

Unblock3ed, 17 Aug 2010The Galaxy S? AHAHAHHAH.
Yeah it has style and the pane... morenah you r wrong.
first lag. if you have latest firmware at least JG5 firmware on your phone , there is no lag (i had lag when i had old firmware)
second, GPS setting was wrong( you need to switch off GPS using wireless network and you need to enter *#*#1472365#*#* in your dial pad. this will let you in GPS set up menu than press "SUPL/CP setting" change the "server FQDN type " to AUTO Config . than restart your device - now GPS fixed)

Posted from my iPhone 4, held in a "death grip", I'm touching "the spot" right now and I'm having a good laugh at your expense.
Apple and Steve Jobs are probably very happy with the iPad award and the recognition that they have created a whole new class of device.

The Galaxy S? AHAHAHHAH.
Yeah it has style and the panel is great but it lags ang lags and lags, very slow, plus the GPS is totally useless.
I returned mine to the store today after using it for 7 days. Not sure what I will buy with the money now... probably nothing until the Desire HD comes out.
Don't get the Galaxy S if you need a functional GPS and a phone that does not lag (trust me, it lags a lot and none of the GPS fixes on the net work).

I am more than happy as Iphone 4 did not get any awards. Serves Apple right. If Iphone 4 would have rec'd an award, I am sure all the Smart people would have organized a major riot & protest.
Anyways, I also just felt that probably the star of the show award should have gone to HTC Desire instead of SE X10 Mini. Anyways, I just realized that HTC did not rec it b'coz of the fact that they are in the process of changing the screen for the Desire.
So what have the freaking IFans have to say about this. How would they defend Steve and Apple for not rec'in any awards. Well all I can suggest to them, is that, if they are replying to this post, then they should just not hold their IPhone 4 the wrong way, else their wifi network would drop to ground Zero and they would not be able to reply as they would be disconnected from the internet. Before I conclude, IP4 deserves just 1 award, Award For The Worst Phone Of The Year, lol..
Cheers!!

I have the Sony Ericsson X10 mini, and have used the Samsung. Both are very good phones. The X10 mini for its size and features is brilliant and good value. The Samsung I strongly believe to be a winner over the I-Phone 4 in quality, interface, performance LCD technonlogy, battery performance. This is the start of the end of Apples's dominance.
