i'm due my phone upgrade and dont really know what phone to go for i could pay a small fee and have the new i-phone 4 but have heard there are issues with these and some people i've spoke too have said there is not much difference from the 3gs i-phone which i can have for free upgrade but it seems orange only have the 8gb on there web site i'm still to call them and decuss the 3gs . but what other phones are roughly or better than the i-phones ? and why does it seem the price of the i-phone 4's price is set so high just because it the new must have phones. i know a few on here have them so your opinios please .

 

The iPhone 4 is just THE phone to have....... You'll regret it if you don't!

 

but will i with all the problems so far surely id be better off waiting for the next wave of i-phone 4's with out the issues

 

I haven't had ANY problems with mine so far. If you hold the phone in a certain way then yes, the signal does start dropping off, but I don't hold the phone that way anyway!! Otherwise it's just an awesome bit of kit.

 

My mate has got a iphone 4 and he hasnt had any problems at all its definately worth it in my opinion Im thinking about getting one aswell

 

The problems are wwwaaayyyyy overhyped by the Apple bashers. I don't know anyone who has had any issues.

I've also read that all 'smartphones', in fact any phone with an internal antenna can loose signal if you hold them in a certain way.

There are some good offerings from the likes of HTC and Samsung, which, on paper at least, are as good as the iPhone, but non have anywhere near the build quality of the iPhone. Seeing as everyone seems to want to tie you into a 24 month contract, the last thing you want is a phone that starts to fall apart after 12!

Go into the shop and have a play with a few.

 

mines pretty wank as a phone, certainly worse in call quality and signal strength than my previous 3GS and it drops calls ALL the time.


Still love it though!

Battery is far far far better

 

execellent reply lol so let me get it stright if i want it to use as a phone get a 3gs but as a toy the 4 is miles better as long as you dont want to call any one

 

I'm a massive fan of the iPhone 4... call quality is average and it can drop the occasional call but apart from that, like Porkie said, its other features are brilliant and I'm extremely happy with it.


Cheers,

Do the new iphones allow you to bluetooth to ANY phone?

And what a joy it would be to be able to bluetooth files to and from a pc with no wires or no software

 

I swithered about getting one but ended up going for it and it's paid off. Someone actually commented that I sounded clearer on the 4 than I did on my previous iPhone.

I also haven't had any of the issues that have been over-hyped on the forums and in the media etc.

Do it.

 

What's wrong with emailling stuff?

 

I've had no issues with my iPhone and to be honest seems to have better reception than my 3GS did. The screen quality is also amazing it's got to be the best phone on the Market

 

Was going to say the same thing.

If only it was a N95 8gig eh..........

 

I'm watching films daily while having lunch, etc and the quality is very good I'm constantly using it for emails, Internet browsing, facebook, etc and listening to music. I make the occasional call

IMO you should have your phone in a case to protect it, so the signal thing won't be an issue.

Mine was dropping calls till I reset it, but I found out the area had reception issues as my mate on a 3GS had same problems.

I've had an iPhone for 2 years and upgraded to the 4. Not much difference you notice except how fast it is and screen quality

 

Agreed as a toy its awesome, the camera is really good and the HD video cam is excellent, feels more sturdier than the earlier one and battery life is loads better. I find the call quality just as bad and as Lee said above the calls do drop, although only happened to me a handful of times in the few weeks i've had it.

I agree with Porkie's comments. Quite often I have had to hold myself back from smashing the thing to a thousand pieces though.

 

ive had an i-phone 4 for a week now. not had one problem with it and luv it to bits lol

 

well my missus just sealed it she said theres no point up-grading to a 3 year old phone and having to put up with it for 18 months lol

 

if you want a iPhone. WAIT!!!! They have delayed the white version saying its a paint issue. But many have suggested that they are trying to rework the Antenna. I'm holding out to see what happens before getting mine. Just hold out i say.

 

hold out for how long lol ive already done that thats why i toyed with the idea of the 3gs but as said above if you fit a cover problem solved and i always fit a protective cover

 

The white version!
