I just wanted to offset some of the complaints on this board so people who are nervous about the phone will know it is a good buy. I haven't had any issues at all with my phone. No yellow screen, no reduced reception (i am using the black bumper) and no problems with the camera shutter or email operations. All my functions work perfectly, speakerphone is loud, headphones are clear, and the battery life is great. I guess my question would be am I the only person who has never had any problems with an iphone? Because this forum makes it seem like they are guaranteed to have issues when they usually dont. Just sayin...
Just picked up my 3rd iPhone 4. Two from Apple Online and Third from ATT Walk in. All Three work perfectly fine. Checked every complaint with the exception of the reception issue solved by bumpers and case.
Just wanted to say that I am sure that there are thousands and thousands of happy users. I have been following the reception issue closely and although I want Apple to fix it, today I placed a reserve at my local Apple store and will happily pick the 2 iphones when they come in. I use a case all the time anyway and I am sure that if a design flaw is the culprit then Apple will make it right with a fix or replacement.
I Love the phone.
Moved up from the iphone 3G. There is such a difference. I bought the bumper to use when I bought the phone. Wasn't crazy about the bumper and decided against the invisible shield (didn't like the orange peel look). Yesterday I drove to best buy and purchased a Rocketfish Gel case. I really like it. Since I am using a case I am not having a problem with the dropped calls. Don't regret my decision to purchase the iphone 4 at all.
You are absolutely right, Apple isnt going to just sit by and watch everyone squirm with a phone that looses reception. I suspect a fix, replacement or free cases for all.
I agree about the invisible shield. I always used a Matte screen protector and this time there was such a demand for the phone there was nothing in my area except the Zagg front shield. I bought it, along with a black bumper (wish we had colors available here) and I dont like the orangepeel look. I went ahead and ordered cheap matte protectors off ebay and im certain I will enjoy those more. By the way, I got front and back for $2 on ebay. I am considering purchasing a blue bumper from apples site but i want to wait until more products come out- perhaps a new case will catch my eye.
I love my new iPhone4 g, it is Awesome. I have used it, played with it, and I too can not understand what everyone is complaining about. There is not one thing I could say didn't work or was wrong. I think it is so much better than my previous iphone 3Gs, which I also loved but this 4g ROCKS! Thank's apple it was worth the wait 🙂
