svelteParticipantAaaaahhhh, Toyota and Apple. How the mighty have fallen. lol
Actually, I get the appeal of the iPhone and actually had a blast using a friend’s. I’m just not addicted enough to the internet, etc, to buy one. A simple cell phone that texts and takes crappy photos is good enough for me.

CoronitaParticipant[quote=sdrealtor]My friend who has a new 4G iPhone says he hasnt been able to complete a single call on it with out a problem.[/quote]
Because according to steve jobs, your friend isn’t probably holding the phone correctly…
+1 on svelte’s comment. Apple is the equivalent of Toyota in the phone business.
Everyone has a vested interest to dethrone this arrogant prick….inclusive….
Not to mention, it’s most likely made by a bunch of sweat shop workers, some of which who end up jumping out of buildings.
Meanwhile…I’m still waiting for Windoze Mobile 7, lol…

ParticipantI got a Motorola Q on the first day it was out. I bet many of the folks on here know exactly what that is/was.
I think it was one of the first true smartphones…
Anyway, I had my original unit until just last week when I went straight from the Q (on Verizon) to the iPhone4 (on AT&T).
What a quantum leap, phone wise anyway. The phone is amazing. I just with the greatest of ease took a couple of videos of my cat and evidently I can upload them to youtube with like 1 click. By comparison, just getting the photo app to launch and be ready to take a picture on the Q was like 30 seconds, by which time you got so frustrated it was like “oh, forget it, whatever”.
Uhhh, on the other hand, I had ZERO, count ’em, ZERO bars of signal in my house with the iPhone.
Everywhere else in the world it seems to get 4-5 bars, regardless of how I hold the phone.
The Verizon signal in my house was never great, but was always adequate. So there’s an up-to-date apples-to-apples comparison: I went from say 2-4 bars to 0 bars when switching from Verizon to AT&T.
I bought a “microcell”, which was an epic pita in its own right. This did successfully increase the bars in my house to 2-5, usually about 4. Great! But it cost another $165 just for that thing. It has already taken down my wi-fi network twice in its first 24 hours. Definitely not great.
Another thing I like already about the phone is iBooks. I have the book I’m currently reading on the phone. So when I had to do the stupid 20 minute wait at the Dr’s office (and then wait again in the treatment room) – no problem – I just read my book. You can’t really do that with a simple text/photo phone.
So my review is:
Phone: Fantastic
AT&T: Sucktastic
