So who got the iPhone 4? - 07-08-2010, 11:45 AM


I didn't have one on preorder but the day of the release I went to my local Walmart since I new they carried iPhones PLUS I figured nobody would think to go there to get one.

I got there and I was the first in line at 7am, shortly after a few people got there to wait in line too. At 8am the electronics manager came out and informed us they only got 1 in stock. Wow. So I lucked out...

I love the new design...

How many problems are you having with it? :p

Seriously though. Does it really have bad reception if you hold it wrong?
People were also complaining about how the phone locks up if you try to use the camera on the front of the phone.

I still have my iPhone 3Gs, so I'm not due for an upgrade for just a tad over a year still.
Plenty of time for them to work out any bugs.
I have also waited to do the software upgrade on my phone to the new iOS for the same reason.
Waiting to see what the fallout is.

I got the iPhone4 on release day, but only after waiting for hours in the pre-order line. I currently have mine in a case and with a InvisibleSHIELD front cover. Luckily, I haven't had many problems with it.

Consumer reports came out today with a statement that they DO NOT recommend the iPhone 4 due to the reception problems after their extensive tests.

The suggest that if you have to get an iPhone, you go for the 3Gs model.

I upgraded my 3G to the iPhone 4 on day 1. Much faster than the old. i am also posting this from my new iPad also. I needed something bigger for my old eyes.

The salesman said this $2000 lens would make me take better pictures.
