T-Mobile has no reception, I'm on Verizon and have to use their cell booster to keep calls from dropping. They've acknowledged it as a problem area in the past but it's so few customers it doesn't make sense to build it up.

 

Finally activated my phone and sync'd all my stuff. I had the 3G, didn't bother with the 3GS. Dunno if the 'S' was a significant improvement, but all I can say is the 4 is INFINITELY faster and most importantly, the keyboard actually types what I press! IMO, that was one of the weakest functions of the OG and 3G. Made me yearn for my Blackberry again.

Image quality is incredible for a little phone. Now, just hope the antenna issues are a non-issue....

EDIT: Damn it. Knew I spoke too soon. That stupid antenna thing is a problem. Hold it in my left hand, signal dies. Put it down, comes back. Grrrrr...... Where's the fix???

 

Speaker phone... all the time.

 

Well how the hell am I supposed to call my favorite phone sex line during work then? Hmmm???

 

Seems there are more problems with the iPhone;

This is really sad... I am an Apple enthusiast as much as I a Porsche enthusiast ! And I hate to see Apple fail this bad with their new iPhone!

 

Jobs said it's not a design flaw, you're holding it wrong.... c'mon, I was looking forward to getting this but this sounds silly. I'm not really thrilled with the 4.0 OS I upgraded to either. Seems like the old system worked better.

 

I just read that too. You have to f'in kidding me, right?? I always hold my phone in my left hand and use the screen with my right. Ain't switching now. This isn't silly. It's bullshit. They better fix it......

They also suggest you can purchase a case and solve the problem. Typical.

 

Question for the iPhone'ers
To delete an email without looking opening it, all I had to do was swipe the message and press the red 'Delete' button. Now, with the 4G, an 'Archive' button pops up. I don't want to archive the message, I want to delete the f'ing thing! How can I change this?

 

They incorporated that for gmail users who don't delete their messages. I have not tried to play with the settings, but that should give you a starting point.

 

Thx. I've checked the settings and there isn't an option to change this. Very irritating.....
