Antenna.

I really want to purchase an iphone 4, but am currently turned away from the autistic antenna design. However, everything else on the phone is great. My other iphone 3G is broxed and I'm using a shit blackberry pearl which can't process EDGE if it's life depended on it.

I'm tempted to go ahead and buy the iphone 4 regardless of this inconvenient antenna location. On the other hand, if I wait until the end of September, this issue will be fixed, and I will no longer be dependent on an iphone condom.

note: no such thing as 4g in Canada, so do not mention android.

Off topic.

My brother recently purchased an HTC Snap. Although the cheapest of HTC's phones, I was actually quite impressed by the Firmware. No lagg, good signal, and great battery life. If I were to get an HTC, It would probably have 3G though. I'm not quite sure which HTC is the best for this.

Reviews don't work for me. One person will say it's "great! buy it today!", while another will say "Horrible, not worth the money".

HTC Snap actually has 3.5G? HSPDA.

The best phone out there is the HTC desire. No one will disagree with that.

Really? Maybe Canada's 3G is more like 2G then :oops:

His IS an older model of snap though.. I don't think it supports 3G.

I'm tempted to get a 6G phone from Japan and learn Japanese with the rate of technological advancement over here..

A 6G phone? What the hell are you talking about? Do you even know what you're saying?

That's an exaggeration, but not a large one.

In japan, you can purchase cell phones that are 5G ready.

No you can't, as 5G isn't specified yet. You can purchase 4G phones, also said, LTE or WiMAX phones.

You obviously don't know shit about this.

iPhone is great except total lack of any file management and overly strict appstore policies (same applies to iPad). I think Apple's gonna fix the antennae issues in the next batches by the end of autumn / winter.

I don't see why people are bitching extra hard on iPhone 4. This is the most functional the iPhone has ever been! It's actually a COMPETITIVE PHONE NOW, rather than a plastic iPod.

Google's goal from the start was indexing the worlds information (on the internet).

Couldn't imagine what would happen to the world when you go into an electronics store to find EVERY SINGLE EFFING COMPUTER WITH GOOGLE OS.

Data management = Drag and hold folders (Up to 9 files! :roll: )

Yes, it lacks some data management, however, I would say iOS4 is the smoothest phone OS/Firmware out there.

I've (personally) heard people making some complaint about every single phone out there except iphone 4 and some HTC models. RIM's turning to scheit. Even my local news stations were complaining about old OS and hardware compared to newer phones.

I've asked people why they won't switch from their blackberry, and the response is usually, "I'm used to it and I like BBM". Imo, BBM is lame, and is not a valid reason whatsoever to hang on to a phone..

My telus carrier told me the antenna problem would be fixed closer to the end up september. I'm glad I didn't impulse buy on this one.

Also...

This can be disregarded as long as a jailbreak is implemented.

But the main reason for wanting an iphone 4 is...

I can well see Google replacing Apple products in a long future.

Apple took a bad time to make a cock up with the iPhone4, just when android and HTC are becoming more prevalent. As soon as other phones start looking as nice (which is already starting to happen) as the iPhone, i think it will lose a fair bit of its market share. Especially with the speed of android apps growth!

Are Android apps still mostly free? Almost all of iPad/Phone/Pod's apps are all novelty and almost useless (paying for pdf readers HE HE HE) when Android has a god damn utorrent app.

Htc touch pro 2, old but still awesome.

EDIT: Except for windows mobile, although a recent update pretty much redesigns it into something bearable.

Our phone selection is sad considering our country invented them.

Bagged milk was also a shit idea.
