Followed Engadget's LiveBlog of the keynote and so far I'll say that I'm not that impressed.

The following things are very nice:

720p recording @ 30fps
IPS panel on a phone

Other than that though and I'm still waiting for HTC's new Windows Phone 7 devices.

It's nice but I'm not all that shocked since this was all leaked weeks ago with the whole gizmondo thing.

But I'm getting it day one. App store/iphone OS/user mods are still untouched by any other phone. You guys in the US will get it earlier a few weeks since its not coming here till July.

those look like 3d rendered images.. not the actual product.
i'm not a fan of the design. the previous design was better.
i've been contemplating what to get for my next phone, but surely it won't be this.

I love Apple. Don't get me wrong. I'm a big fan of Mac. I have two. But the iPhone just seems like a gimmick to me. I'll never have one.

wait whats that you say about htc mobile 7 phones. I currently with t-mobile at the moment. I know they have an htc phone with windows mobile 6.5

when is the windows mobile 7 phone for t-mobile supposed to come out?

Nothing to make me want to get rid of my 3GS for. Not that impressed really. I think it needed more to keep up with the android army tbh.

Much prefer the smooth, flat shape of the 3GS, this will feel much bulkier in your pocket.

True is I'm not iPhone fan... probably just because I do not like restrictions with iPhone related. I'm NOKIA guy for many years. Now using N97. IMHO damn good option if you want small cellphone with large touch screen for more than just making few calls .

i consider the iPhone 4 the "smoother, flat shaped" of the 2 devices

I have the HTC HD2, the Australian version not the T-Mobile one, on at&t and it's WinMo 6.5. Last week though, Engadget Mobile leaked the upcoming device names for the Windows Phone 7 devices HTC will be launching.

I don't think there was one for T-Mobile listed.

Ummm... hellooooo?

- Multitasking!
- Video Phone!?
- HD Camera!???


... I'm totally down. As soon as my boss lets me get one... and expense it to the company... LOL!

iPhone 4.0 Details

I currently own a 3g, so I will get the iphone 4 because it will be compatible with all my current stuff ( calendar, music, 3rd party apps ) but in all honestly apple needs to step up the game, by a lot, Droid phones are catching up QUICK, I think droid phones have everything needed to be better, they just need better marketing and a bigger share of the pie for the developers to motivate them to develop more apps.

everything the iphone 4 does are ideas that came from jailbroken phones, multitasking ? backgrounder, video calling / Knocking live video, the folder for apps ? really ? I had that on my 2g, the only thing is really bringing new is a better display and the front / back camera. every other feature has been available on cydia. they are trying to advertise the ability to change the background, something that needed to be standard since the very first iphone, also available on Cydia.

and eventhough knocking live video is video ONLY, no sound, is available everywhere you go, unlike video calling which is available only on wifi.

almost forgot, yes it does have a 5.0 camera and HD quality video, but which smart phone doesn't have that nowadays ?

its the fact that Apple took the time to make sure that all these features work as they are supposed to, they don't kill battery, or crash when u use them. my 3GS was JB'd before and those apps and abilities (on cydia) made the phone painfully slow and made my phone crash constantly.


i welcome the stability of iOS 4 and the new features. including the best display on a phone and extremely fast/efficient processor and the rest of the hardware they put into the phone.

If I had a 3GS I'd be hard-pressed to upgrade, but I have a 3G and it's passed its prime. I will probably upgrade to this. My coworker has the HTC Evo, which is large, but a very cool phone. If I wanted to switch to Sprint I'd probably get that, or the Incredible on Verizon.

This phone looks prettier than the previous 3G(S) in my opinion.

The problem I'm seeing with Android is that manufacturers are skinning them how they want, and not all phones get the Android upgrade. Froyo isn't even on the Evo which is very disappointing. But I whole-heartedly agree the Android is gaining momentum. I think if the next iPhone isn't a BIG step up, Android might be eclipsing them this time next year.

Im glad you brought up the Incredible cause I cant live without my Incredible, I had the iphone and liked it but even the new iphone has nothing on the Incredible. My 3g speeds are so fast and the 1gig processor is just unreal. Now before you say anything I have both an ipad and an imac and I like them more then pc but the iphone relied on a home computer if you did alot with it, with the Incredible I dont have to worry about it being a windows(google) based phone.

As for the iphone 4 all I see that is new is HD shooting, vid con.(which is nice), and multi tasking, that isnt an OMG moment for me. Apple thinks that there the best and no one can compete with them at this point but google and microsoft are doing a good job.

I think before I buy this new iPhone I'll check out the Incredible, my contract expires in September so I will have some options.

Not that impressed of the features. But extremely impressed with the design. It's a beauty!

Alright so I've had this phone for about 2 hours. so far I think it's awesome. It's a great upgrade from a 3G. All the little things the 3GS had, like compass and the faster speed, I've been doing with out.

First thing you notice is the screen. It's really quite nice. Biggest impact you can see is with text. It's crystal clear. GIGANTIC improvement.

The speed of the OS. Compared to the 3G this thing is lightning fast. 512mb of RAM helps.

The camera - BIG improvement. I had a 2.0mp and it was crap. 5.0 with autofocusing (touch screen where you want to focus) is great.

So far this thing is great.

A lot of people have reported the reception is poor, but i'm guessing you have a pretty strong signal in your part of the world?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ixIHyEPO5g

Yeah there is a thread on Gizmodo where holding the phone in the lower left hand corner dramatically decreases signal, even going from 5 bars to losing service completely. I am not experiencing this problem at all, it's staying full signal.

My 2nd upgrade in 10 yrs was from Nokia to the 3G iPhone last year. Yup, behind the dark ages here!!...
We don't have 3G signal here, but @ work & 20 miles in any direction, there is 3G.

With the 1st 2 Nokias, I had VERY few dropped calls---this iPhone drops calls passing by those windmill turbines,
or driving thru down town. We don't have any buildings higher than 3 floors!!!

Going on-line is nice, but it seems to be getting slower, even in 3G with full signal!!
Pics are pretty much true-life colors! Games are decent.

I know 3G is outdated already, but I can't see upgrading to a " better " device if we can't even have old tech keep up with progress!!...

Dude I've had my iPhone 4 for like 2 days I got mine on the 23rd and this phone is amazing, it's like 10 3GS in one. It's fast there is no lag in the app store or keyboard it's just amazing. I'm just scared I'm going to drop it lol

I don't really like it. My coworker got his in the mail today. The screen is the best part of the entire phone. The whole iphone os is very dumbed down. They're just now trying to include things that android did out of the box almost two years ago.

And there are already problems pouring in about the yellowing, the signal dropping (which I was easily able to replicate due to being left handed), the scratches in this "super durable" gorilla glass, etc.

Yellowing ? My signal been good since I've had it. Sometimes I won't have any bars at all tho.

ive been playing with my friend htc evo phone, and i hate to say that I believe it trumps the iphone. Apple used to be the innovators but they have been surpassed now.

I know someone with an Evo as well. It's a nice phone but I don't see the areas in which Apple has been surpassed. Please share.

Apple, the masters of engineered obsoleteness. Design a super expensive product, make everyone think they need it, then make it completely obsolete by the new and cool product in a year or less.

I just can't believe the people that buy all that stuff and think they have to have every little new piece of equipment Apple makes. I have a few friends that have almost every generation of Ipods, Iphones, Macbook Pro's, etc. They just look at the old models like it's a piece of trash, whether it works or not.

Can't blame Apple for catering to people who NEED to update every year. I have a 5th gen iPod, I've had it for 4 yrs, haven't upgraded. I had a 3G (for sale ), skipped the 3GS upgrade, and got this one. So you can't really get mad at a company when supply is a result of demand. Be mad at people.

I'm just wondering what was yellowing ? Mine works just fine the screen is amazing. In my opinion once you have a iPhone you can't have any other phone. Atleast I can't. There really isn't much sufferer with the iPhone 4, the screen is amazing and there's a camera on the front, and it's faster in texts and app store no more lag. That's the only thing I can see that's new.

how does the evo beat the iPhone 4?
screen size?
cause i love carrying a retardedly big phone that people accidentally push buttons all the time.
also the resolution on the iPhone 4 is better than the Evo. The Retina Display is bar none the best screen out for a phone.


camera?
so you have 8MP compared to 5MP, but the quality of pictures from an Evo suck when put up next to a picture from an iPhone 4.
http://www.macrumors.com/2010/06/25/iphone...ties-evaluated/
there ya go. only things that beat the iPhone 4 at taking pictures are you guessed it, actual cameras.



4G data?
wow hope ya live in one of the 14 cities that have OKish service, otherwise your are on 3G.


Multitasking?
sure Android did it first, iOS does it right
(granted the 3rd party apps need to update to handle this for the most part)


Apps?

App store: 200,000+
Android market place: 50,000
you decide who has a better choice


Video:
please see the link above. (evo comes in last for video)


so how do you figure its better?
