Title: iPhone 4-worth getting?
Post by: Gtiain on July 27, 2010, 08:29:50 pm
I already have an iPhone 3GS and love it, so I wondered if it was worth getting the 4? Unfortunatly I'm not due for an upgrade so would have to buy it.

I went from a 3GS to the iPhone 4 and I think it is a miles better phone.

A lot slicker
Better signal
Better WiFi
Better processor
Better Camera
HD Video recording Etc
:smiley:

All my opinion of course. Why dont you go to an Apple or O2/Vodafone store and have a play with one. See what you think :happy2:

If you are with o2 you can upgrade but it will cost £20 for every month left. I will be better off with an iphone 4 and i still cant be bothered as my jailbroken 3GS is better  :laugh:

I went from a 3G to ip4 the difference is night and day....kinda mk4 to mk5.... :laugh:

But if I had a 3GS I would wait a while to see what happens this year early next to the ip4.

The fact i dont have to pay for apps such as tomtom and the folders i have are much much better. Also the endless personalization, free ringtones, message tones, the advanced tweeks you can do to extend the battery life when not 'using' it.

Until the new one is fully jailbroken im not too fussed. Im actually quite tempted to get a £10 phone and buy an iPad!

I agree, I'm really tempted by the iPad!

I wanted an iphone 4 before they came out. ( i have a 32gb 3gs at present.) Then i bought an iPad. It was a bit of a necessity as a detailer (and im pretty sure its helped massively in getting my last two jobs)

Now Im hardly on my iphone. I still love the beautiful screen on the iphone 4 but im in no rush what so ever to get one. When the time comes i will have one, but as said, with the ipad, im on no rush! ;)

I only did the firmware upgrade a few days ago and have noticed an improvement as I wasn't happy to begin with.

Will be buying a white one as soon as they are out so there will be a mint black one for sale very soon!  :wink:

I currently thinking about getting the iPhone4, just waiting on a price for one.

I'm a bit dubious to jump in and buy one though, don't fancy finding the signal is naff due to the antenna issue.

Had anyone heard anything about Apple trying to resolve this problem, would rather hang on before ordering if this is the case?!

I`m also waiting to hear to see if there are still problems with the iphone 4, I can upgrade from tomorrow and I`m not sure.

Do I call them up and got one (they are going to let me end my old contract 3 months early if I re-sign another contract) or do I finish the last 3 months with this blackberry I`ve got and then buy 1 out right once all the problems have been sorted ??

Try logging on through the us website and track your order from there rather than the uk site

It gave me my tracking number a day or two earlier than the uk site  :happy2:

It might be in transit from the US then by the looks of that.

My iPad went like that for a few days.
