    i wanna everybody read this: iphone 4 is an little extension of ipod touch 4 wich is 2.5x-3x cheaper and thinner (touch 4 is 250 euro). with the rest of the money you can buy a REAL mobile,ANYTHING BUT NOT IPHONECRAP. i made the mistake to spent 400 euros on this junk i can't do anything with it. i buyed it from vodafone romania with 2 years contract and 20 euros per month abonament. a big big mistake. all is blocked,the menu is very very bad,contacts are a nightmare. don't buy iphone4,buy ipod touch4 for music and internet browser and another symbian or android mobile for communication. beleieve me

            This is my first and last iphone ever! I dont care what functions new iphones will have, it could even coock me food. No more iphones for me!

            I cant believe how gulible are some of you! Its not a bug its a well intended fact wnd apple wont fix it. It will still spy on us but will be better hidden. What fan I say? Big brother is watching you.

              say everything about apple, but when iphone 5 comes to light you know that will be a bestseller again, and dont care if android is better or worst... apple will give the competition a class again about marketing.

                they probably already got the information they needed so they are removing it

                                  Anonymous, 28 Apr 2011Although you are given the option in Android...well..Indeed the phone i'm using now is Android (HTC Desire Z) but I own Ipod touch too eventhough I don't feel to waste any penny on Iphone4 since it just without voice calling..So is tat proof that I'm android fanboy? nah..I'm just typical Android user who prefer QWERTY keyboard..BTW, I doesn't hate Apple, but I do hate Steve Jobs cause of his arrogant,And since the Tracking issues appear, Google respond and defend immediately,but apple said it just a "bug" ? :/

It's the phone provider's job to know where YOUR phone is at any moment in time, how else are you supposed to make calls and go on the internet? Why would a cell phone company need these types of logs?
