Nope. Just be sure to wait a while (maybe 24 hours) before putting a case on. I waited 12 and it seems to work fine; but their recommendation is 24 before you use it. I think 24 is a bit long in this day and age; so my personal recommendation is to do it in the evening and let it sit overnight while you sleep. By the time you're ready to leave the next day, it should be fine. Be sure to print out their directions on the website and just follow them.

Despite its issues, iPhone 4 ranks as best smartphone in newest Consumer Reports findings.

Sure ... they reneged on their recommendation due to the signal issues; but their even that can't stop the iPhone 4 from being better than any other on the market.

Having had the Iphone 3GS (updated with OS 4.0), I have to admit that I like the new Iphone 4 even with its quirks. Mine's in a iFrogz case and I have no issues at all, and I would have it in a case anyways even if it worked fine without one, simply for protection.

I'm with you on this. Really impressed with the phone so far. However, the way I hold it when surfing the net is with the bottom in my right hand, held horizontally and it seems to block the signal then. That's the only time I noticed it and really, I can't isn't just the crappy service in downtown Chicago as it doesn't always decrease the signal, so I'm not sure if my hand is actually doing it. (my signal goes up and down when I'm standing still, and did that even before I had the iphone 4).

Woohoo! Just got the e-mail that mine is in!

If only my old cell hadn't fried the SIM card last week, I'd be able to transfer all my contacts. I'll likely pick it up on the way home today.

It wouldn't have mattered. The new iphone uses a smaller sim. Besides, keeping the contacts on the computer is awesome once you get past the pain of inputing them the first time.

I got mine yesterday. So much faster than my 3G plus my local area just upgraded from edge. Pandora is sweet.

tenbaseg · 07-15-2010, 04:46 PM

Just updated as well. I only get about 1 bar at home and that's all I have after the update. No harm, no foul.

Blueface · 07-16-2010, 01:54 PM

What can I say.

The company says you can have your money back if that is what you want.

If not, it will give you a bumper free. Now granted, while only around 20% bought the bumper with the phone, I can personally attest that was attributed to lack of supply. They ran out of them and folks were asking for it but not available. Had they been available, I assure you the number would have been significant that bought it. If you use a case like me, no issues.

Over 1.5 million units and to date, 15,000 complaints.

1,500,000 minus 15,000 means there are 1,485,000 non complainers, which translates to less than 1% of all users.

Does it suck? Perhaps for some. If it does, take it back, get your money and wait for the updated version. In the meantime, have a cigar while I continue to enjoy mine.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple is not planning on issuing an iPhone 4 recall at tomorrow's press conference.

Quote:

Apple's iPhone 4 has been dogged by reports of antenna-reception problems since its launch last month. The company has called a news conference to discuss the issue Friday. Apple doesn't plan to recall the phone, a person familar with the matter said.
