Hit to the new IPHONE
 

Consumer Reports: We do NOT recommend Apple's flawed iPhone 4

http://www.nydailynews.com/tech_guid..._iphone_4.html


Yak I know you have the new Iphone 4...what is your take??

Seems like this will be hit to apple possibly! Personally I love my Iphone 3gs...

I have not had an issue and neither have the other 10 people I know with the 4

Plus if it's in a case it's no problem and as soon as the otterbox comes out it will be fine

Only sucky thing is AT&T

Off topic, but lovin my Droid!! And the new X is the baddest thing on the market!!!!

I have to agree...the only plus with AT&T is they have great service on and around big lake and in cameron...I had verizon before and could not get a signal on the lake at all.

Now as far as dropped calls...have a few.. the worst with at t is when someone calls, I answer and it will be silent. I hang up and usually the person will call back and it works fine. Doesn't happen all the time but when it does it will do that all day when people call...frustrating...never had issues like that with verizon.

The htc Evo is amazing.

it's b/c Steve Jobs smokes MJ

But it's on sprint

I knew it!! :smokin:

he was too busy at taco bell with the munchies and the let the iphone 4 out of the test lab...

I should have mine by the end of the month; maybe i wont drop it in Sabine Refuge like my last one.

I should be getting mine at the end of this week.

Finally Ross?

Yea, Sprint had screwed up some settings on my account so they had to get that straightened out first. I wasn't about to pay $300 for the phone when I should have been able to get it for $150.

Yeah I remember you telling me about all that on te way to toledo

Hows he iPhone and HTC battery life? I'm putting Droid on charger now.....have to charge it over night, then twice durin the day.......

i can go all day on my iphone using it heavily for pandora and websurfing and texting

Best Buy just called me, I can get the white Evo today or wait until they get another black on in but they never know when they'll get a black one...

racist...

I'm not racist, I'd love to own a black one but why would I when the white one's work just as well...

white is right


just saying


youll be putting a case on it anyway wont you?

Yea, that's why I'm going get it after work.

You need some glasses to match your phone?? Then you and Jordan can be twinkies!!!!

***** :*****::*****::*****: I'm gonna have to see if my wife has some white glasses and take a Jordan pic

space ship

there are rumors that come jan. you will be able to get the iphone on verizon...i read some articles on it the other day

apple said a week or so ago that, the problem is not with the phone, it is with the way they rate reception with the bars. They say that the way it is done now isn't really correct. They said when you should really only be having 1-2bars, phones show 5 bars. So something small(like the hand touching the wrong area on the phone) causes it to lose reception all the sudden when it was showing 5 bars. Where as really it should only cause a small reduction in reception and still work just fine, the misrepresentation of true reception is the reason it goes from full reception to nothing just by touching that certain spot.

They say they are updating it to be more accurate and they will make the first few bars larger in size on the phone so they can be seen better.

Don't kill the messenger, just read it off the apple site the other day.

Thanks fft

Good to know its minor software issues that can be updated. I just switched from Verizon to AT&T....mainly in part with the wife wanting an Iphone. Like stated earlier....its gonna be nice to have reception on Big Lake (especially south end) and on Rayburn and Toledo. Verizon was sketchy around the lakes.

No problems with mine so far....................

I am on sprint right now and am switching over to ATT to get the iPhone 4. I looked in to the EVO and the only thing that swayed me was the fact that it is the size of my laptop computer. It was huge in my pocket. I use my phone for a lot of web browsing, texting and emailing, but not too much video watching so the extra large screen just wasnt that important. It just made the phone too big.

I didnt realize the Evo was larger, thats kool I'll just have a leather holster custom made with maybe a Dreamcatcher for decoration.

:*****:

I like the larger screen on the EVO because when I'm out of the office I do ALOT of my work on my phone and I'm tired of having the lil bitty screen on my Blackberry. I was able to pull up my company website from an EVO at the Sprint store and it was awesome. I was able to do a few things without having to zoom in a few times or look real close to the screen. I'm either at my desk or in my truck so the bigger size doesn't bother me any.

I got my EVO this evening and man is it AWESOME! The 8 MP camera takes great pics and the 3G is amazingly fast (especially since I was with Nextel before).

does laffy have a 4g network yet?

No not yet, we just got 3g a few weeks ago, go slow man lol. I go to Aransas Pass every now and then so I'll be able to see what it's all about between there and Houston. I know when I connected my 4g air card on my laptop it was super fast. The 4g connection was faster than the internet I had at the hotel.

reading good stuff on the EVO...Apple is getting hammered by the media...

Even the workers I talked to yesterday at Best Buy were hammering Apple.

I like mine

There is no doubt its a great phone...apple needs to come clean...its software or its hardware. They've made the software statement I think as a diversion. you would think they wouldn't let a software/hardware issue past testing but who knows....

I haven't been able to make it loose service

Those old bag phone worked great.......until they stopped using the anti-log signals about 2 years ago.

What you're hearing about the iPhone4 is all crap. I haven't lost a call yet. Matter of fact, where I live (Milton) I hardly had a signal at all with my 3GS... With my iP4 I have a steady 2-3 bars.

As for ATT customers that don't have good signal at home, AT&T sells what's called a MicroCell. It's a mini cell tower that runs off of your broadband to give you 5 bars in a 5000 square foot area. Works AWESOME! I had to get it and I love it.

Is the Microcell a monthly bill or do you buy it outright and pay monthly usage on it?
