The fact is, the Consumer Reports “lab” reveals that the iPhone 4, even with the “attenuation” problem, is still the best smart phone one can purchase today. It was only when the people at Consumer Reports came out of the lab and decided, based on PR reasons, they should override the lab guys and make a recommendation based more on (take your pick) business reasons, trying to play both sides of the issue, not seeming stupid.
exolife for iPhone 4
One of the nicer battery and case combinations for the iPhone 4. Probably worth snatching one up if you find the iPhone 4 batter depleting sooner than expected. Would not want to be on a trip taking pictures and video with the iPhone 4 just for it to all of a sudden run out of battery half-way through the festivities.
Rather than merely sharing my iPhone 4 home screen I thought I would share all five screen of iPhone application goodness installed on my little handheld. I just completed rearranging my apps, moving a folder off the home screen cause I despise how fugly they are. Once Apple sexifies the folder icons I will reconsider.
What do your iPhone screens look like?
the iPhone 4 antenna bridging issue is apparently non-existent in Japan, where 3G operates at 2.1Ghz, compared to AT&T at 850Mhz
iPhone 4's supposed signal woes aren’t unique, and may not be serious
Most of the Web sites reporting dropped signals and even dropped calls have demonstrated several techniques, or “death grips” for recreating the problem (which we’ve yet been able to reproduce in a meaningful way). But those almost always require squeezing the phone hard, in an unnatural way. Those grips may also produce sweaty palms from exertion, with the sweat increasing conductivity—and possibly the degree of signal loss.
There is absolutely nothing cut and dry about these signal degradation issues. This non-issue will definitely not stop me from snatching up an iPhone 4 as soon as they are once again available in Japan.
