WOW!!!! iPHONE IS FAILING HARD!!!!!

1. Not enough iPhones were made to distribute to all Apple stores, AT&T Stores, Best Buys, Radio Shacks, and Walmarts. I didn't get mine today because radio shack recieved ZERO!! LAME! i can't wait until Apple ships their alotment to Radio shack so i can go pick mine up.

2. The new iPhones have a "Left hand defection" meaning when you hold the phone in your left hand, the signal drops and causes frequent dropped calls. People everywhere are complaining about this defection, and with the new Bumper case that apple made, it makes the issue even worse. THe case covers up the little slits on the side frame of the phone, covering up the signal.

Apple needs to get their shit together ASAP, because a lot of people are mad, whether it be not getting the phone due to lack of production, or having the phone and having the signal be horrible due to the bad antenna issue.

jeez, my friend some how got one from the Apple store at the Galleria here in St Louis, and he just walked into the store the morning of without a reservation. I'm sticking with my Radio shack reservation though, because they are going to pay me $100 for my old 3G phone. I just hope it will be sooner than later that the Shack will get the phones.

So news is rumoring that Verizon will be carrying the i-phone 4 as soon as Jan, 2011.

Good news for Apple but for the consumer?

Although AT&T has proven to be inferior in cell connectivity, their data infrastructure is actually quite strong.
I personally am glad to see some extension of availability for general users. This shows some flexibility for the proprietor based business plan of Apple,
which I think will only help sells and network congestion.

If this is true, I would give a "hat tip" to Apple for loosening the restrictions of Apple proprietary products to help the company AND the users.

Having said that. I refuse to be part of the "herd". Unless the "herd" was something different than a click trend that overpays for common hardware.
*Apple is great in many points but I hate restrictions...get used to it. Show me something new and I may be a joiner. I love new gear, just not for fashion.

the way cell phones should work, is that some one like Apple should make a phone, and any cell phone company should be allowed to use their SIM card with it. Seriously, it's plain stupid that AT&T gets the exclusive deal. AT&T however would go even faster if they opened up to other carriers due to all of the customers who are fed up with AT&T flocking away to other carriers.

They are reporting to have sold something like 2 million iphones, and today is the 6th day after the release. It's the biggest product launch in history. How come we don't see this kind of craze for the Droid Incredible???

The bigger question is why see this craze for any of it??

Of the 2 million sold less than 5 percent will take advantage of the improvements - but to each their own on flushing their money down the drain.

Verizon, for the last year has been full bore on improving their network. We do the packaging for a few of their suppliers of equipment and they have been going nuts and will be for the next couple of years, getting it up to speed.

but the big push is going to be going away from a 1 price for unlimited content. Within a year all carriers will be charging by how much you use the network. so for all these people that have gotten used to unlimited usage for a relatively low price - Price shock is right around the corner.
