Hearing that you can't touch the case in certain spots or it loses signal and that the screen has some yellow discoloration in it from the manufacturing process.

got mine on the 23rd. it has performed much better than my 3g. as for the issues people are having im sure there are a few bad ones out there, but no problems with mine at all. went with crager to the baybrook apple store the line was a joke. definately not worth waiting in as it was pretty much inching towards the mall exit.

I bought mine this morning, there were 2 people ahead of me. Opened at 7am, got there at 6:50 and was out by 7:25. It is faster than my 3G and the hd video is a plus.

Ill stick to my regular 3G till all the bugs and stuff are worked out on the 4G. I only just got my 3G last December and its perfect for what I need no need to jump on the 4G band wagon just yet.

It's like buying a car, never do it the first year of production.

ive heard mixed feeling about it on other boards too. but like some one already said waiting a few untill all the little bugs and what not are fixed is probally the best bet.

i'm up for an upgrade right now and decided against getting it just to wait to hear the reviews on it from people.




but slower??? are you serious?? you cant reallly think that apple would take a step backwards. they are not Microsoft. case being vista and windows 7

I got mine in the mail today. Went in and had my old 3Gs phone switched over the new one. In & out in less than 30 mins no line at all.
The screen looks much better IMO. It also seems the touch is more sensitive but I havent messed with it but maybe an hour getting it back up to date like my old phone.

I haven't noticed any slow downs or problems with 4.0 on my 3G.

I was gonna go get one this morning, even woke up to get it. But I decided $200 felt better in my hand than another iphone. My 3G still works, albeit slow and shitty, but it still texts and has internet. I might get one after all the fan boy jizz gets cleaned off so we can tell if this phone really is worth upgrading for, or if AT&T actually gets a decent android based phone.
