    Anonymous, 13 Nov 2010Well i would add a heavy days usage in to the ix such as pl... moreand how does that relate to removing ur battery???? not too bright huh
    come in here clutching at straws looking for any reason no matter how small to try validate the phone u just went out and payed $600 for
    fact is u see the news and u have a cry.. noooo the ip4 is the most reliable high end smartphone on the market! it cant be!... seriously wanna tissue?
    its so sad u cant handle it so u come in and look for any reason to try bash and troll

    btw with ur previous comment... 99times out of 100 the phone will fault and not the battery. and as it sits the ip4 is again, touted as the most reliable highend smartphone.. im more than confident that i will never have an issue with the phone, OS, hardware, software anddd battery.
    camping... fine u go out and spend $50 on a extra battery so u can go have ur fun... usually there is a car so hooking it up to the car charger is no problem... finally.. i get 3-4 days easy on my ip4 with minimal usage. the androids ive owned and own i will get 2 days if im lucky and i cant remember the last time ive needed to use BT let alone send a file larger than 20mb so many attempted phone bashing is trivial at best.. im sure u can do better

    so come on.. pls continue... but next time make sure it actually relates to the topic

                        Pretty strange to compare actually. Apple has only one phone to its credit whereas other comapnies have complete stable of phones so which phone are we comparing iphone with. e.g. Moto's DROID is the sturdiest high end smartphone I have ever experienced however, if you compare iphone with DEFY accident proneness of moto will comedown to may be fractions.
                        Looks like another apple sponsored marketing strategy so as to force people to buy bumper case which though is actually meant for signal issues but will protect phone as well.

                              TSH, 12 Nov 2010Doesn't the phone on the other end need Fring as well? 0_onot sure.. possibly. doesnt bother me as im not interested in video calls and will prob never want to use it, fact is in the real world most of a phones features are selling points, gimmicks that rarely if ever get used.
                              so, to answer ur question.. i dont know
                              people kept coming in here tryin to bash the ip4 sayin u could only make video calls via wi-fi which is incorrect. period.

                                    The funny thing about BT is that practically every phone with a colour display has it. It is for all intents and purposes as ubiquitous as GPRS or internal antennas. Many people have BT but don't even know it! But every single person I've shown (such as my Dad) how to use it has been astounded at how easy it is to select a picture/contact/whatever, instruct the phone to "Send -> By Bluetooth", find the destination device and transfer the file.
