Wow everyone is sayin that the iOS4 drains the battery like crazy. They lose 1% every 2-3 min.

are you kidding my 16gb 3GS seems like its battery last forever. i charged it all night and used the internet today for about 2 hours which would usually kill my battery i had the screen brightness down and it lasted me 2 hours and i still never had to charge meanwhile i made alot of phone calls too i was really suprrised i never had to do a mid day recharge...my phone has glitched on me a few times ever since the os4 update- once it had a green bar across the top with a timer and it kept going away and coming back really really fast and when i opened phone there was no call in progress.really wierd

Actually their official solution is to tell you to hold the phone differently.

Steve Jobs is such a cunt

hahaha I lol'd

That was expected.

When you guys downloaded the update did u restore your phone first then download it? Or did u restore with all your settings then download it?

Reading the comments most people seem to have problems with battery life.

My friend who upgraded to iOS4 only lasted 5 hours

Hmm so the issue with the reception can be fixed by throwing a case on it...
also who actually palms their phone when they are talking?

The discoloration has been resolved (at least hope so) from a rep on the apple forum

and

the scratches on the screen just dont be a fking idiot and key your screen.

My 16GB 3GS seems to be working fine without killing the battery too fast. Was fully charged today at just after lunch, used it on the net a bit, bit on google earth, talked on it for about 45 minutes total, sent some texts, currently sitting at 77% now

God they better resolve this it's pissing me off

I'm pretty sure it's a hardware design flaw.. The antenna is in the bottom (as required by FTC) but when exposed to skin becomes grounded. Nothing will change that other than "holding it the right way" or buying an ugly skin for it to work as a buffer.

Ya it's a placement flaw. The old iphones had the antenna on the back. Left-handed users are screwed.

guess i'll have to wait another year

Yeah, it's a design flaw...

I think that's the reason apple introduced the case along with it as well? :D

If you plan to drop your glass screen phone 4x from that height onto solid concrete then you deserve to get it cracked, I used to be very careless with my phones, tossing it around, leaving it on the edge of the desk while I eat etc, then one day dropped my Startac II (cost me an arm and a foot at that time) and since then have never dropped another phone (over 13+ years). If you need to be super careless then get a cheap $30 phone, you can drop it 1000x and even if it breaks, just buy another.

The loosing reception while holding it is gay thou, might have to hold back a rush purchase and test it out first.

you could fix it with a rubber band around the phone lol.

a better option would be a BestSkinEver transparent type skin over the metal band.

That sounds like a sensible solution for someone like me who hates cases.

In theory then could you just put some tape cut to size over the metal band? If it's a grounding issue, that's a pretty easy fix.

I've heard that other phones (like the Nexus One) had the same issues as well with certain hand placements killing reception. I don't think it's really strictly something Apple related?

Stealtharmor for iPhone? Looks nice but $45?!

^ all the edges are not protected.....

i heard there will be a new iphone(5?) in just only a year which will be 4g?

maybe ill wait for that instead.
the new iphone4 has a lot of nifty features but i dont know if im sold on it yet.

There will be a new one every year in June/July at WWDC

That looks like 3M Di Noc vinyl wrap. You can get it for around $10/sq ft

^ That's Rogers saying that they don't have exclusivity and that they don't want to admit it.

And please, don't call about the iPhone4 because they are too cheap to hire enough quality CSR's that can handle all the call volume regarding the iPhone4.

im hearing a july28th first come first serve basis for launch...and in very very very limited quantities
