I guess apparently at that corner is where the two antenna bands come together and by using your palm it grounds the reception.

Just picked up my phone from the Fashion Valley store in San Diego. I waited 3 hours in the 'reserve line'.
That was fast compared to the other line, the non-preorder line was stopped at 10am. I had a friend get there at 4am, and he got his phone at 4PM since he did not pre-order. Next time I am choosing the shipping option.

I was expecting FaceTime to have a clearer picture than it did. Kind of pixelated and low resolution, not even 30 fps. But decent and a long way from what cell phones could do, and will now be doing as a standard in the future.

Surprisingly, the iPhone 4 is still slower in speed tests compared to my BB Tour. But because of the software and processer on the iPhone, it feels just as quick or faster downloading pages on AT&T's 3G network than my BB does on Sprint's 1XEV speeds. However, when tethering to a laptop, the BB on Sprint is noticably faster. |

For better or worse, I got my iPhone 4 today. 6 hours in the reserve line at the Apple Store in Victoria Gardens. The fact that other stores across the country report only 2-3 hour waits indicates that Victoria Gardens had the worst store staff on the planet as far as efficiency.
I haven't really played around with my phone much. Had to take care of work emails when I got home and then went to the gym. I actually took a video of the 'reserve' line outside the store when we got to Victoria Gardens at 0600 localtime. A bit shaky, but that's what you get with a hybrid dSLR (Canon 5D Mark II) and no support rig. I think I'm going to avoid Victoria Gardens for any other Apple related launch event. Inefficient and way too many bros; obvious considering it's the IE. Too much TapouT, Fox, Hostility, Monster, and other bro-brand wear represented. I did end up going to The Yard House after I left the store to get a few cold beers. The iPhone 4 is definitely a jump from my 3G as far as speed and screen is concerned, from my initial assessment after restoring my apps and what not.

Got to Brea at 7pm, saw a few hundred people in line and got in the back. 15mins later a lady came out and gave me a voucher for for pick up tomorrow because they wouldn't be able to process the people in time before closing.
Be back tomorrow with a few magazines. Although theres plenty of eye candy at Brea Mall! |

my friends got their iphones today at best buy with no wait (pre-order). Best buy handled it the best by setting up appointments.
I had a pre-order at the apple store. Didn't go too well. It took 1.5 hours total but that was with a near fist fight, security escorting me out of line, and me pleading with iphone staff Apple really messed this one up. They had two lines. Both preorders and walkins and they were taking both at the same time. They were even letting people get two at a time. I'm suspecting this entire apple shortage was bs. They had plenty of phones for everyone. Best Buys also got a "suprise" shipment. All this was for hype. |

AT&T is launching 4G later this year, you'll have to wait until this time next year for the new iPhone (Apple never breaks their product release cycle).

My *FREE* iPhone 4 will be here on Tuesday (ordered on launch day). When the 4G version comes out next year, i'll upgrade again!
How is it Free you Ask? My 32g 3Gs is now Jailbroken on iOS 4. It's carrier unlocked so it can be used for any GSM carrier. I'll be selling it on Tuesday for $325, completely covering the cost of the iPhone 4 upgrade, including Tax & Shipping! I'm doing this for everybody in the office. |

Mine arrived at my office at about 11:30 on the 24th. Had it activated shortly thereafter. Completed the porting of my number, wiped my blackberry and tossed it on the desk of our helpdesk tech by quitting time.
So far i haven't experienced any problems and the coverage/reception seems far better than my Blackberry had on TMobile. I'm happy with it so far.

Word on the street is there will be a 4.0.x Jailbreak within moments of the 4.0.1 firmware release from Apple, expected soon. They didn't want to release a JB and have Apple pull a last-minute patch to 4.0.1 to close the JB.
One JB author has indicated he's waiting until iPad 4.0 release expected in a few months. |

"Android" did not have front facing cameras first.
They have been around since ~2007. The Evo DID have it before the iPhone... 20 days before Last edited by GP3; 06-29-2010 at 8:35 AM.. |

MY iPhone came from NYC yesterday. No problems whatsoever. Hooked up to my car stereo with bluetooth. Sounds louder than my Gen1 iphone, the dual camera is cool, Facetime is awesome, like the video but have Flip Mino for that. It is faster than previous as well. I was the first one in my office with one since all of OC was out.
Apple for the win! I have no dropped calls yet. It is all about where you are.

They had video chat before the iPhone, at higher resolution and over the mobile providers network. So yes, the iPhone is inferior.

MuscleNerd is a known JB contribuitor, so its highly unlikley to be a fake.
The iphone4 firmware is called iPhone3,1_4.0_8A293_Restore.ipsw". Firmware files for the 3Gs were called "iPhone2,1----.ipsw". The ARM prossessor referenced by the Kernel is only used in the iPad and the iPhone4. The resolution of the screen capture matches the iPhone 4. I'd say its legit! |

Anybody know if the Apple stores have the iPhone 4's in stock again or is there still a preorder waiting list?? My brother told me the local ATT store had a shipment come in this Tuesday but I was too lazy to come in and check for myself so I missed out again.

I ordered my Iphone 4 online this morning. Confirm email I got stated I should expect a 7-14 day wait period. Going to get it shipped to my house. I prefer convenience over being the first one to get something.
I was on he fence about getting it since I already have an Iphone 3g but the extended battery life is what sold me on it. Looks like I can sell my 3g phone and pretty much have the whole cost of upgrading be a total wash. I went with 16gb over the 32gb as I hardly got near using the 16gb on my current 3g. For what I use my Iphone for I have been pretty satisfied. I mainly surf the web/text with it. Over the course of a month I probably use 150ish plan minutes. I guess I don't deal with the dropped call issue often as I don't talk on the phone enough for it to be a problem. |
