Apple iPhone 4 review: Love it or hate it

01 July 2010
You can't make a phone that everyone loves and Apple is not even trying. Much like any other iPhone so far, the iPhone 4 is a phone that everybody loves AND hates. Apple’s latest is always the greatest – you have to give them that...

          I haven really had one of my own but looking at the specifications, I must say it is the best handset till date. I am looking forward to get one.

                  Iphone 4 HD video quality doesn't seems bad afterall after watching one of the video samples. It's quite clear compared to other phones i must say. It seems that it has a continuous focus features as it auto focus on the blurry images of the flowers

                      people may slag this handset off. because they are jealous of what it can do. previous posting. no HD for your information it records in 720P err HD. read the manual.

                      Then you might realise what this handset can achieve. Why is it all apple product are the envy. becuase they look aweseome and perform properly.

                      period!!

                        the main reason (which not listed here) i hate Apple iphone 4 because
                        1.they always repeat same types of modal. / looks wise.
                        2. Again same theme.
                        3. Its flash works only for closer shoot
                        4.no HD ( BUT OK)
                        5.not help ful for longer call.
                        I love Nokia N8 . But my boyfriend gifted me apple 4. So what can i do.

                          don't waste energy. hating burns a lot useless. iphone it's very special like all apple prodicts:macbook,mac,pod,pad. they have excellent materials,displays and fiability.devices for bling-bling for vogue and style addicted. they have something special in their products. i like them,i thank for the real challange between them and nokia,samsung. because of apple products mobiles and computers become better and better

                              one of the biggest claim - no any pairing with any BT device. If you need to synchronise witH nother phone (HTC Desire) - no chances

                                Well to have reception issues because you can't hold a phone in a certain way and then suggesting using a bumper case it's simply lame. I have read quite lot that no phone is perfect but most are better you know. I have held iPhone 4 it's difficult to hold and becomes uncomfortable in long calls.

                                  Well,d reason they didn't count X10HD is because it has no multi-touch and no wow hardware specifications LOL!! Dat's all,N8 is my choice for me,I didn't need ipod too cos it has 48 hours music playback. ha ha ha.....it rules..

                                    Frankly, I'm indifferent to those iPhones. Have been using one for a while. One amongs the others like. Battery stamina is kinda weak. Absolutely hate to infest my PC with that nasty hulk itunes. Can't drop any audio/video file and have it playable just like into other phones - using plain USB mass storage copy. Sound quality for the phone is great, for the music player - very mediocre. Not for heavy texters, touch screen is very responsible and nice, but touch screen not for everyday e-mailing. Internet browser is perfect if you can put up with the fact that you never will have any chance to browse flash loaded pages... E-mail client with that consolidated inbox is not as convenient as it was in early models, at least for me. and all that pitiful stuff regarding failed alarms... :) Anyway I do understand all the apple fan-boys :) I swapped it to iPod touch 3G (NOT for music! just for e-mail, browsing and a few apps like local newspaper readers etc.) + Nokia with qwerty keys :)

                                      At the end of the review,you listed some other phones worth buying(near comparision to iphone 4)....

                                      where's the X10 you morons?
                                      now it even has 2.1 update,8mpx cam with 720p video recording,4" capacitive touchscreen,....way better than all these

                                        Had Iphone4 for a week & question GSM Arena's assertion of battery life's good.
                                        Using pretty constantly for web use...email, facebook, some searching & reading reviews...it last about 6-8 hours.
                                        My more basic candybar phone's much better but trade-off is smaller screen & less user-friendly experience.
                                        Perhaps Iphone4's same as other smartphones? Hope not as I'm swapping for IP67 toughened M/Defy which has vibrating haptIc typing feedback. Hoping it allows text input by number Keys with T9 like Nokia & HTC !
