The great thing about the new iPhone is that it has sharp edges & the multitask option, so you can cut vegetables & surf the interwebz & the same time! Amazing.

"brg.com just report that apple say in a statement they will recall the iphone4."
"the nytimes.com just report that flash still beat html5.
they also say html5 wouldn't be able to catch-up with flash anytime soon.
sorry my iphone4 or iphone 3gs couldn't play none of those video streamlined context."

[deleted post]Just want to thank our lord and master Steve Jobs for not including this bunch of features in iPhone 4!
Thank you Steve jobs for not including these useless features we neither want nor need!
iPhone is the best!
HARDWARE:
iPhone 4
Hardware flaws (exclusively in iPhone 4):
External uninsulated antennae that cause dropped calls and slow internet connections.
Screen and back made out of cheap glassy material that both scratches and cracks.
Dead pixels and light leakage on the "Retina" display.
Inverted volume controls on some units.
SIM cards don't work in some units.
Camera doesn't work in some units.
Proximity sensor doesn't work in some units.
Microphone doesn't work in some units.
Screen:
iDon't have a touch friendly screen, gloves, pens, styluses and not even fingernails work!
iDon't have neither haptic nor any other type feedback whatsoever.
iDon't have any precision compared to resistive touchscreens.
iDon't have a standard(16:10, 16:9, 4:3) aspect ratio only Apple custom ones(3:2) will fit my screen.
Power:
iDon't have USB charging without a dock adapter.
iDon't have any safety garment for the battery(1) melting is known to occur in Apple products(2)
iDon't have warranty for damage made by "external" force aka. the above.
Connectivity:
iDon't have DLNA (streaming HD content wireless on a HDTV).
iDon't have UPnP technology (automatic WiFi setup) some networks simply don't work.
iDon't have full 3G HSDPA speed (7mb/s vs. 2008 smatphones that have 10mb/s).
iDon't have full GPRS/EDGE speed (CLASS 10 is four times slower than CLASS 33!)
iDon't have a decent GSM/GPS/WiFi signal(1) the connection is far worse than on 3GS(2)
iDon't have standard USB connectivity(1) only custom cables(2)
iDon't give a damn about the environment: short cables but tons of iAccesories.
iDon't have IR, can't control: basic household items(1) TV, HDTV(2) DSLR camera(3) MAC(4)
Media/camera:
iDon't have stereo speakers.
iDon't have radio.
iDon't have FM transmitter.
iDon't have decent camera (small sensor and 72 DPI, which is less than most 5mp phones)
Design:
iDon't eject my sim without a special key.
iDon't have a removable battery.
iDon't have hot swappable memory.
iDon't sell cheap but my value at FOXCONN in China(1), where I am made, is ~190$(2)
SOFTWARE:
iOS 4.0
Web:
iDon't have audio/video streaming for 90% of the multimedia sites.
iDon't offer a real web experience, various sites only offer a phone version.
iDon't have Flash or Flash Lite - flash sites, apps or games simply do not work.
iDon't have push idle so battery drains fast even on push.
iDon't have push e-mail if i'm jailbroken, even if you pay!
iDon't render HTML5 graphics, nor can iHandle HTML5 controls.
iDon't process HTML attachments correctly.
File management:
iDon't have access to my internal folders by any means - no app in the iStore allows this!
iDon't even have access to set mp3s as ringtones.
iDon't have MIDP/JAVA support.
iDon't handle DivX,XviD,FLV native video.
iDon't handle ZIP, RAR or SFX - no app in the iStore allows this!
Connectivity:
iDon't handle videocall via the network, gTalk or Skype.
iDon't A2DP right (BT stereo) right: lags on videos(1) and games(2).
iDon't fully support AVRCP (BT remote)(1) industry standard(2) can't skip tracks.
iDon't support any Bluetooth services when pairing with a MacBook.
iDon't have any BT file sharing my BT is almost useless!
User Interface:
iDon't have themes support.
iDon't have a scalable OS, apps on the iPad are simply stretched to fit.
iDon't have a desktop, entire UI is organized as a single "start" menu.
iDon't have parallax (finger/screen offset) adjusting - low precision especially on small objects.
iPhoneOS/SDK limitations:
iDon't have native multitasking(1), apps have to be specially coded for multitasking (1993)(2)
iDon't allow cross compiling.
iDon't allow open development.
iDon't have proper platform security.
iDon't have proper application security(1), any non iStore app can damage your phone(2)
iDon't have any power optimization - the device overheats as admitted by Apple.
Camera:
iDon't have fine detail in pictures, high noise reduction smears the finer details.
iDon't have video stabilization.
iDon't have exposure control (ISO).
Misc:
iDon't have built-in basic functionality like:
sending contact cards via BT, TO-DO application, save web pages, calendar week view, etc.
iDon't have freeware, iTunes treats free applications like purchases + FairPlay DRM wrap.
iDon't have user privacy for: online shopping(1), visited sites(2), your location(3)

A like the iPhone cause it makes you feel like a computer. I woke up the other day & the first thing I said to my wife Shiela, was that I felt like a Sony Vaio. Much to Shielas dismay, she retorted with the whimsy remark that she felt like a MacBook Pro. I lol'd.

Also, if you prefered automatic, because for example your commute had a lot of traffic jams, wouldn't a manual transmission just annoy you?
Congratulations on your LG. I'm sure it makes you happy, but everyone should be free to choose what they like.

This has got to be the most uncool phone on the market. When will Apple drop itunes.
And gain an sd card slot.
Seriously if they dont this could become the end of apple as a company.....

[deleted post]Just talking in general here, but wouldn't it be normal to find fanboys or just fans of a product, on the product page itself? I mean what's so strange about finding an iPhone fanboy on an iPhone product page, or a Nokia fanboy on a Nokia page. What I find irritating however, are trolls. An iPhone fanboy, on an Android phone page for example, or vice versa, stirring up trouble. I'm sure all the annoyance and ill will stems from these people, whether they like iPhone, Nokia, Android or whatever.

steve jobs is denying any problem with the antenna, so if you move your hand the wrong way just a bit during a call,its bye bye.

This new iPhone just sucks, on top of still not having simple and basic features like bluetooth file transfer or mass storage, now the f* phone has hardware problems (antena to be specific)...I'm really sick and tired of waiting for Jobs to add this simple features, and I hate how the phone is so dependend on itunes, my PC crashed and I lost all my movies and when I installed itunes again, I lost all my info, and there's no way to easily transfer the iphone's info to a pc...Apple sucks!!! I'm going back to Sony Ericsson...or any other Android phone!!!
