You wouldn't be saying that sarcastically if your home button only worked half the time (like mine) lol.

My friends home button stopped working completely.
I've never had an issue.
I love my Iphone because of the OS!
It blows android away. I have both.

Apple just took 2 giant steps back in the phone market. SMH.

And yes, I am an iPhone user. But not after tonight, Galaxy S II here I come.

They will, this is just a filler phone to get people to upgrade and then when the IP5 is released you have to pay more to upgrade again:D

Same thing they did with the IP3GS

Hmmmm, well the reason I said that is because I thought it was being released this month or Nov.

Apple just barely got caught up with hardware specs (8mp camera? wow, what an improvement. dual-core? its about time. 2x Faster data? really? when u have folks like Verizion with exceptional 4G LTE network?). Which means they are still behind. We have to wait a whole year for the next spec bump. Buy then the other phone makers will have devices that will make the iPhone look like a jitterbug. Not to mention the size of the phone. If they really want people to make this a device that does it all, give me a bigger screen dammit!

The only thing the keeps the iPhone going is the reliable software.

of course, this is all my opinion, everyone has one :) I have been an iPhone user for all iterations of the phone. Heck I still have my original iPhone. But this phone does nothing to keep me on the bandwagon.

I thought the same thing until I got a HTC inspire 4G. I considered not using my Iphone 4 anymore but after a few weeks I went back. The OS on the iphone is that much better it is worth using. The Inspire is faster I do admit and has a better camera, but it sucks to text with and to use the internet control and touch functions.

Luckily my contract isn't up till next year, it's not even worth taking my moms upgrade like I had planned.

I am not buying phone until I come back to America.....the iPhone 10 will be out :)

I'm buying one - I don't have an Iphone at the moment and think the 4 is pretty cool. I might as well get the amped up version. I figure if they called this thing a 5 everyone would be raving about it. It's probably bad marketing on apple's part, but it won't stop me.

I still love my droid! Iphone, Never. I have heard different. I guess all depends on what you want/need in the phone.
