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...

        It's hard to realize how amazing this phone is from sheet specs. When you actually own one of these and customize it to your liking, the natural and sleek feeling of it cannot be beaten by any other phone on the market.

        P.S., fingerprints have never been an issue due to the amazing screen and IPS technology, but nonetheless, every phone is prone to fingerprints.

        And about the reception issues, they're being fixed, so in my eyes this is not an issue anymore.

        On a final note, guess who copied who:

          There are lots of people who hate Apple handsets and still overcrowded by those who love it. Marketing strategy had been a great factor but when I carefully analyzed what is that thing that people hold so much and love Apple. The secret is that they respect the value of each of their product, they gave each product its moment and time to shine, glorifying their value. Unlike other brands that keep on upgrading their handsets that lowers the value of their ex-latest handset. Apple have their own world so as their users, they don't engage to competition to others for they know their strengths and weaknesses. So what if they don't have flash support. So what if they're still on their 5MP cam. So what if the casing is finger print magnet. So what , so what. As long as they maintain the value of their product and they respect the value of their customer they don't care.

            Scratch-resistant glass front and rear, with fingerprint-resistant coating = Bullshit Ive just been testing it and it gets covered in prints just by looking at it. - A FINGERPRINT NIGHTMARE is more acurrate.

                    Don't matter what the specs are if the phone has faults that scream at you, is of maybe poor build quality in some areas etc you may as well not bother with it! This phone was to make apple money, maybe they got greedy and took too many shortcuts.

                      but I want one. or I'll wait until samsung comes out with the cetus.
                      3.8 super amoled, 10 mp camera/1080p video. etc, etc, for lower price of course.

                        Your still gonna love it and hate it with royalty in your hands.

                        Iphone 4 may not be the king of kings of smartphones but it has and always will be the "IT" phone of the each and every year.

                                    Still no "Call recording" feature :( . This feature is very useful, if you are taking a note of an address, contact, or a phone number, while in a call. This feature is there by default in most of the sonyericsson and motorola phones

                                        poor loud speaker??

                                        really, then mine is the exception, my iPhone 4's loud speaker is fantastic, way better than my old N900 or HTC Desire, its loud and clear and great for movies and music..

                                        I do love reading these Hate iPhone comments, they are obviously from people who cant afford an iPhone, or hold more importance over Bluetoothing the latest Crazy Frog ringtone than having a decent phone.
