People tend to forget that there is an acceptable percentage of defects in electronics when they come out. When you sell 1 million of them day one it will seem like there is a lot wrong when there really isn't. The only issue I've had is with the proximity sensor during a call and my cheek hitting a button.

So, I guess that was a user error then. lol

I'm willing to cut them some slack on the yellow spot issue, but if there really was a problem with the antenna on that first phone . . . That I'm pretty unhappy about, because if I hadn't seen the difference in the new phone, I would have never known there was a problem, I would have just gone on thinking that the iPhone 4's antenna just wasn't as good as the one in the 3G. It worked just well enough that it seemed functional. But looking at the comparative reception in the exact same place, it's pretty obvious the second phone's antenna is working much better.

Ditto. The display looks so nice. I was skeptical as to how much of an upgrade it would actually be from the 3GS, but it's definitely noticeable.

Haven't had any issues with the reception or discoloration thus far *knock on wood*.

Guess I shouldn't be in a rush then. I didn't really look up the details...thanks.

I'm not even sure if I will be able to get it at the $199 price. I prolly have around six months on my 2-year contract already...will I be able to start a new contract for the $199 price? Or, am I eligible for an "upgrade"?

Do you mean that you're six months into your current contract, or that you have six months left on it?

My understanding is that AT&T is giving the upgrade price (i.e. $199/$299) to anyone who is eligible for an upgrade at any time in 2010. You'd have to check with them to find out the details, though.

The news reported that some people think this is such a big issue they should receive a free case.

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!

I've had my 3G iPhone for about a year and a half (probably). My contract may expire in March? I cannot really remember.

I do know that when I log in to my AT&T account online, it says I'm eligible for an upgrade. Hopefully, that means I'm fine. I may try again next weekend.

Found these on another forum too. lol

Hell, I'd just be happy if I could get a case at all . . .

Apple Store: sold out
Best Buy: sold out
Raido Shack: sold out
AT&T store: only case they had was a knock-off Burberry-plaid. No thanks.
Target and Wal-Mart: don't appear to have even gotten anything yet

I mean, seriously? Did none of these stores think that anyone was actually going to buy an iPhone? Or did they think that most of those people wouldn't want a case? I can understand the shortage on the phones themselves, but the fact that cases are even harder to get is just inane.

Seriously, when I got my 3G, the Apple Store had a wall of cases for it. Now they can't even keep enough of even just the bumpers in stock to match the number of phones they're selling?

I managed to get a screen protector (that also covers the back and sides) at least, so I don't feel as worried about carrying the phone around now as a I did when it was completely uncovered. But still, what the hell?

I found a fix for the reception problem. lol

If you want to know if you can upgrade just go to your cell phone and dial *639# and hit call. I'm pretty sure the $200 upgrade price for anyone eligible for the rest of the year is only for pre-existing iPhone customers.

Also, VIP, are you ing 12 years old or something?

Age is irrelevant. What really matters is whether or not he has a wife.

Jesus. Why did everyone get hung up on the wife thing? Some asshole questions something regarding my wife and I ask if he has one (cause maybe if he did, he wouldn't have asked such a stupid ing question). He doesn't (which was obvious) and I told him to shut the up. Now I'm telling Imz00 to go ing troll somewhere else with his butt-buddy VIP.

The iPhone 4 has been jailbroken! Now let's see how long till a public release.

Malik is a pretty angry apple fan boy.

Is his wife making him angry?

Malik, why are you getting so off topic about a wife you may or may not have? And talking about jailbreaking? Piracy and mod talk is prohibited

Hey wife-less asshole, stop questioning the existence of his wife and maybe you won't ask such stupid ing questions
