Hey Warriors,

I'm seriously thinking about getting the new iphone 4 but i've heard some bad reports about it.

I just wondered what are you thoughts on it and if you've had any bad experiences with it?

    depends what your using it for. I work for a b2b business mobile phone company, the saying the sales guys use is, "Your employee's with love you but your business will hate you."

    Basically they can be very consumer oriented. Employee's love playing about on these things.

    There are a few issue's with the device though. Slippy fingers? dont drop the phone it literally smashes due to the glass finish. Signal problems, that much so that the guy who was in charge of the department was fired by apple.

    Hold your hand over your the phone towards the bottom left of the device and the signal drops.

    There expensive devices, and very data hungry. Can mean big bills without the correct package.

    The battery is terrible but then most smartphones are the same. They only tend to last a day before you need to recharge. There's ways around the problems like turning off the power hungry features of the phone but whats the point of having a smartphone if you have to turn of the things that make them smart. You will just have to deal with the battery problems.

    Anyway my personal preference are the android phones. But I'd hold on a bit longer. Nvida and a whole host of companies have released new chips like the tegra 2 which are basically very energy efficient yet all singing and all dancing.

    Basically there a lot of chips coming out with the aim to be "green". And the best bit a lot more powerful, dual core and quad core phones. I believe there's a few out already on the android system. Batteries should last longer with all there green features. Thats assuming all the core's there slamming in doesn't counter act the energy efficiency.

    Great insight buddy thanks.

    Yes i've heard of the problems that you mention and it make you wonder how the hell they can charge so much money for it.

    What do you mean when you say make sure you choose the correct package?

      The iPhone is way over hyped and over priced. Basically its an expensive toy for the Apple cult followers. The new iPhone 5 will be released in a few more months with some added features, but there are many other smartphones with even more advanced applications.

      There are several with far more advanced technology than Apple, but my favorite is the Samsung Nexus S. It's probably THE most powerful and advanced smartphone currently on the market today. It includes popular Android features such as portable dual Wi-Fi hotspot and 3g/4g connectivity, true multitasking and access to Google mobile services such as Google Search™, Gmail™, Google Maps™ with Navigation, Voice Actions, Google Voice™ and YouTube™, GPS, and access to over 100,000 apps and widgets on Android Market™. Very impressive for meeting with clients.

      It also already has built-in NFC (near field communications) technology which Apple will only begin introducing in the next iPhone 5 later this year. The service plan is $79.95 per month for unlimited voice, text and data.

      I used iphone before but at current time first prefer to use HTC Evo 4G or Google nexus one phone. Nice features and best smartphone at recent time. Better performance then other mobiles.

    I LOVE Android Phones.....however, if you want to understand how 80% of your mobile market thinks.....buy it and by it NOW!!! Apps, Marketing, Thinking, Motivation.....once you hold it in your hands you can really start to chase Apple users . I tripled my Mobile Income once I got mine, but that may just be me

    I absolutely love my iPhone 4. People talk about the droid. My gf has the latest one. There is just no match to the iPhone. The smoothness of the OS is just incredible and the new display is leagues ahead of other phones.
