Apple and RIM control only 5% of the worlds cell phone sales. Yet Apple make 32% of the worlds cell phone profits. GREED, that is all. While overworked Chinese labour away making your precious iPhones for $50 a week, you gloat about how well Apple is doing. All they are doing is making a huge profit on their flawed product. GREED is a horrible thing. I bet Steve Jobs has never been to the factory where they assemble his c r a p. Steve Jobs will go to hell, he has to much arrogance and GREED

I work in an environment with lots of yuppie trendy wannabe's. Honestly 99% of those people who have iPhones are clueless as to what it can do or can't do, I ask why they have one. The usual answer is "oh its the cool thing to have"
Haha yes you're right! Many people just think the iPhone is cool and whatever so they have to have one. They probably have no idea what the other options are! But if you are intelligent (and you sound like you are) you shouldn't worry about the other people! If you know the iPhone 4 is a great phone, buy it! Don't worry about the childish morons who just buy it because it's sexy and cool.
But hey if the iPhone 4 is not suitable for your need, that's cool too. I know that latest BlackBerry (I think it's the BlackBerry 9800 or something) seems like a really great corporate phone.

Um...huh? IPhone fans? What exactly is an iPhone fan? I already mentioned like a dozen times that I'm NOT an iPhone fan! Before buying the iPhone 4, I had a Nokia E71 and I've tried a bunch of Android phones as well. Be a little mature when you reply please! :)
And are you talking about the iPhone video calling? If so, yes it definitely is the BEST video calling facility for cellphones. Yes, it is only available between iPhone 4s and I agree that sucks! But any smart person would realize the reason is because it is only compatible with iOS 4 and only Iphones have the iOS 4! The older versions of the iPhone don't have a front camera so how can you use video calling on them?
In the future, it may be compatible with other phones, but not at the moment. Name me any other phone with a video calling feature which is actually fun and easy to use! I first used video calling back in 2005 with the Nokia 6680 and it was awful. Sure, I thought it was cool at first but I hardly used it. I probably won't use Face Time much either because I'm not that interested in video calling in any form, but you cannot deny that it is better that what is offered by other phones.
And please stop calling people "iPhone fans/Apple fans" -- it sounds so immature like we're in school or something. I mean seriously, I have an HP computer and I last owned a Macintosh back in 1996!!

Anonymous, 31 Jul 2010is facetime only from an iphone to iphone"is facetime only from an iphone to iphone"
Yes. In fact, it's only between an iPhone 4 and another iPhone 4 and that too, only on wi-fi. That's probably better because it would use up way too much data on 3G networks and it would be slower as well.
Not that it matters...hardly anyone uses videocalling on any phone anyway becuase the experience is so bad..that may change with the iPhone 4 but I doubt it. It's still the best video call facility available for phones do, you can't deny that.

Which is why I'm so happy I did so much research before buying the iPhone 4. It's an amazing phone and I'm glad I didn't just buy it blindly.

Apple have been secretly broadcasting subliminal messages through the media telling people that they are nothing if they don't have the iPhone and even though it has plenty shortcomings it is still the best. It seems to have worked well, plenty feeble minded people are buying the iPhone

He is a narcissist and a bald face liar, Memory cards are here to stay, Steve says what he thinks people should or shouldn't have, he thinks he is right and he somehow thinks he's word is absolute. That is narcissism and it is a mental disease.

Citizen, 30 Jul 2010Its not all good, but the most is !!
Must start by saying that im not a apple fan who have al... more"Have been having my iphone4 2 weeks now and the biggest things i have seen so far is: Nr 1 The appstore, no one can compite whit that at the moment.
Nr 2 The display, wow what a picture cuality.
Nr 3, the speed, no lag or anything like that.
Could be many more things but this is my top 3"
Exactly! And add to that the following:
1) Amazing camera (only 5 MP but with the flash and lens quality, the pics come out better than many 8 MP pics)
2) HD video recorder
3) Slimness and build quality (slimmest phone at the moment and high quality metallic build, way better than the previous iPhones)
4) The best music player on a smartphone as far as features are concerned. (I love the cover flow experience and we can finally make our on playlists directly on the phone. And what other phone has the Genius feature which is found on the iPod and iPhone?
5) Even with the lack of Adobe Flash support, iPhone 4 has one of the best web browsing experience on any phone. The touch responsiveness is still better than ANY Android phone I have tried (incl the Samsung Galaxy S)
5) The best platform for games on any smartphone, especially now with the gyroscope as well as the accelerometer
6) Facetime which is by far the best video calling facility on a phone (even though it's only on Wi-Fi and only from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4)
Now I'll be honest, those last two points are not a big deal for me. I hardly play games on the phone and I don't think I will ever use the Facetime feature, except maybe to try it out for fun! But still, overall the iPhone is one incredible handset!

I have never faced reception issues with the iPhone 4, though I admit a bar did drop ONCE after I went on trying to replicate the "death grip" issue for about ten minutes! For those who want to buy the iPhone 4 but are concerned about the antenna, please don't worry as there will be no problem!
Regarding the whole "Android multi-tasking is better than iPhone" thing, here's what I feel. The way Android handles multi-tasking is an abomination. It's just plain wreckless. I don't like the phone being totally open to anyone. It's not the PC; it's a phone. I can't afford to have my phone crashing because someone wrote a virus or malware for it. With Apple they control exactly what can be used and sold in the store so programmers have to meet a certain level of coding and a certain level of security with people's information when it comes to getting their apps approved. Apple's model, in my opinion, makes more sense for the phone. The Windows model, or in this case the Android model,makes more sense for a PC.
Saying that Android is growing by leaps and bounds but look at what it was when it came out. Of course it's growing there was nothing else for it to do other than get better. Honestly, I have yet to speak to someone who has the antenna problems and I know a number of people who have iPhone 4. I have yet to speak with a really satisfied Android customer (including those who have the Nexus One and the Samsung Galaxy S) even among my more pragmatic programmer friends. Some of those people own Mac computers but Android phones but they complain the battery life is a serious problem for their phones.
And again, I am NOT an Apple Fanboy! I think Android phones are amazing and have great potential for the future, but at the moment, the iOS operating system is ahead.
