If I can't put CyanogenMod on it then I don't want it.

Nope, that's custom FW.

im very interested to see what apples response to the antenna issue is gonna be. i doubt "holding it different" is gonna fly for much longer....

... then again it may very well..... it seems no one buys cell phones for actually using the phone anymore.

It won't. There's an Apple press conference tomorrow regarding the phone. NY Senator Chuck Schumer has written a letter to Steve Jobs regarding the reception problems. This isn't going to go away.

[95CelicaST]

I'm just going to wait and get the dell streak... Because very little of what I do on my phone is make calls.

And steve ought to be kicking himself because the designers and engineers told him this was going to happen way before it was released.

[Supersprynt]

I loaded 4.0.1 last night. The bars are indeed bigger, which I like. But now with the more accurate reception formula, I'm getting 3-4 bars at home where I used to have 5, and 4-5 bars at work where I used to have solid 5. I guess this doesn't mean I have any less service, but that I never had true 5-bar quality service to begin with in either location.

free case, and if still not satisfied, return the phone for a full refund.



I like his argument, not denying the problem but saying everyone has teh same problem why can't we get away with it lol. love it !

[JuMPiiN]

I hope they recall them all and fix mine. The antenna is really bothering me more and more everyday. Or send me a case to fix it bc im not paying 30$ for something thats doesnt even protect the phone.

[Supersprynt]

No recall. Basically they showed that the statistics for drop calls and complains doesn't warrant a recall and they are giving out free cases starting next week until Sept. 30th.

Note: Free case doesn't mean BUMPER.

eventhough his argument for the issue didn't meet my expectations, I'll give the iphone4 a try, I'll be getting a free case with it, and if not satisfied I'll be able to return it for a full refund, so worth the try !

My question... well more of a concern...

Since the day people invented a phone and then a cell phone and then a small cell phone.. .and then pda and then integrated pda into the cellphone and then integrated a video camera, an ipod, a photo camera, computing capacity and more... there has not really been a "need" to have any of it in one little package.. because realistically speaking...think about it.. they are out to get you guys and make you spend more money without even realizing it.

Lets start with the basics.

A pda costs somewhere in vicinity of 35 dollars but you dont "HAVE TO HAVE IT" because a good old notebook only costs 3.99 at walmart and does the job.. exactly the same job quite nicely. It did for 100+ years and does not depend on batteries.

A phone with pda capabilities usually costs 50-250 dollars more than a simple phone that just makes calls.

A digital video camera capable of taking high def videos costs not more than 200 bucks.

A phone with video capabilities usually costs 100 dollars more than a simple phone that just makes calls.

An ipod costs 30 dollars.. and frankly you DONT HAVE TO have a 250gb ipod. My 4gb nano that I bought way back when does the job nicely and when I am done listening to 1000 songs it can hold it takes me 4 minutes to replace entire contents of my ipod with new 1000 songs.

A phone with mp3 capabilities usually costs 100 dollars more than a simple phone that just makes calls.

A picture camera costs 100 bucks and takes like 10mp photos.
A phone with same capabilities usually costs 100 dollars more than a simple phone that just makes calls.

A computer.. well a really really really good laptop costs 1000 bucks and can play dvds, blu rays, has web cam, 250gb hard drive and every single thing that comes with it...

And yet people feel that its better to spend 400 bucks on a thing that can do less things, but is more mobile and then be tricked into signing up for data plans, texting plans, internet plans, more minute plans at astronomical costs.

My neighbor's phone bill is 120 bucks.. yes iphone replaced his laptop because he can check email on the go and yes iphone gave him capacity to permanently shelve his video camera and his photo camera and while all that is fine and dandy.. he.. like millions of people with iphones have developed a tick.. an obsession... an addiction to iphone. He checks it quite literally every minute and handles that phone rotating it between his sweaty palms.. and he has all kinds of gadgets for it.. like some goggles that allow him to watch movies and a thing to listen to music... wirelessly and I think he already spent like a thousand dollars on it.. easy.

The question is why? Are we so socially incapable of picking up a regular phone and without texting a wall of text every second call our friends or acquaintances and ask legitimate questions, hold intelligent conversations... or perhaps even meet those people face to face?!

I am all for technology.. after all I am a computer geek but everything is fine in moderation.. even the cellphones.

You're going to have a tough time selling cases when Apple just said they're giving away some for free.

And dude, that's not slightly larger, that's considerably larger than an already huge phone. That's more like a tablet than a phone. Wasn't a joke... that's ludicrous.

im not selling them, just trying to get a better deal from a local store by buying them in bigger quantity and then redistributing them. just letting you all know of a good deal..... anyways, who knows how the free cases situation will turn out (that's like 2 weeks down the road). notice that all the apple stores have depleted their once adundant supply of bumpers, including taking it off of apple.com.

you could go through ebay and risk it for an overseas case thatll take weeks just to arrive with no idea of the quality

or rely on a fellow 6gc member that know's his stuff when it comes to iPhones and especially cases




anyways....yea those other phones are whack with the huge screen. even though the iPhone 4 screen is smaller, it still manages to pack in more pixels lol.

those other phones are half the size of an iPad. i could see someone holding it up to their face and covering up a whole side.
