That'll be obsolete in a year too, I've become convinced I'll have to upgrade my phone every 2 years and my computers every 3.

That, and you have to max the specs too.

I updated from a 3g, as well. The difference is just as large as when I switched from my Blackjack 1 to the iPhone :p

You'll love it.

Finding myself less inclined to get on the computer since I got my iPhone4. I'd do a little browsing with my old iPhone, but the screen made reading things (like the Glade) a bit of a chore. This new Retina Display is amazing, though! I'm browsing and reading a ton of stuff on it now, and it really is quite an enjoyable experience. I wonder if/when they have plans to update the iPad with the higher res Retina Display.

Quick background on the video:

The maker of the video works, or did work, at Best Buy. Best Buy caught wind of the video dissing the iPhone 4 and decided to terminate him. The only thing is that the video never ever mentions Best Buy whatsoever. I wonder if Best Buy realizes that firing the guy will generate bigger waves than just letting the video go viral and die in a few days. No one would've known he worked for Best Buy if they didn't fire him for it. How stupid can corporate America get? Regardless, it's a pretty funny video. Enjoy.

Got mine today (is this wave 2 or 3?). Very much an improvement from my 3G. Only gripe I have revolves around the bumper case I got with the phone...none of my aftermarket charger cables fit the case's charger opening...only the cable that came with the phone will fully seat. A minor gripe, all I have to do is take off the case, but I'd rather not have to do that :p

I finally snagged a 16GB iPhone 4 today...Phe and I stopped by Walmart after the movie last night to kill some time and check out their selection of M:tG offerings, and I happened to ask if they had any, fully expecting a "No, stupid." I did a double take when the guy said "Yeah, we just got some in...we've got six. Everyone's so used to hearing 'no' when they ask if we have any in that they've stopped trying here."

I had to go back this morning to actually get the phone...sadly, it was thirty minutes after their mobile sales kiosk closed last night. But I have it now. Woot!

I picked up the only iPhone 4 case they had there, a Griffin dealie with a clear plastic back and rubbery sides....I'm not fond of it, and I'm in market for a better case, but I wanted some protection in the interim.

Screen is OMGPRETTY.

In the position I'm in, I'd most definitely hire the guy on the right as well. He looks like he's more of a creative person than the fellow on the left.

This is of course which "persona" I would hire. As far as the people behind the characters go, I'd hire John Hodgman. Because he's awesome.

Consumer reports went from a "buy it" to "don't buy it 'till they fix it" recently.

Specifically, the phone gets better service most of the time, but when held over its lower-left corner, it risks dropped calls or lost reception in areas with low signal strength.


Entertaining, this is exactly how I hold my current phone when I'm not bluetoothing. So the big, meaty part of my hand would be causing me problems.

Would any of you actually own an iPhone4 without some type of case? Because Consumer Reports goes on to say that even a small piece of duct tape over the area is enough to correct the problem.

My droid is not in a case, nor is my ipod touch.

Neither of which have double-sided, exposed glass. Didn't answer the question.

I'd not have one without a case, but I think the bumpers (or something done in the manufacturing process) should be an accessory in the box for every phone sold, and handed out to anyone who bought the iPhone 4 prior to this.

I agree, a case should be provided for free. Until then, though, it's not going to kill anyone to buy a cheap cover. It certainly shouldn't be something to not recommend a phone over.

My Nexus One came with a nifty little neoprene sleeve that it lives in when I'm not using it, but I don't use (or need) a 'case' for it otherwise.

I think I read somewhere that if you wrap the iPhone4 with Duct Tape, it resolves the antenna issues (err.. graphical glitches? :p )...

Maybe the iPhone 5 will come with the duct tape already applied :D

I've got one of these I bought along with my iPhone 4.

If anyone wants it, just let me know I'll gladly send it to you, free of charge. I've found one that I like a bit better.

One side of glass with a bezel around it. That doesn't exactly equal two sides of glass, sans-bezel.
