Well i found out just how tought iphone 4g's are.... i will post some "carnage shots" later and a better explaination... luckily its my work phone not my personal one that got damaged,, ive had 2 3g's for 2 years and never broken them but in the end it probobly just comes down to bad luck. I have ordered a replacement and will be sending this one off for new glass - 140 dollar repair which isnt to bad considering i thought it would be unrepairable.
quicker? you have to be having yourself on, surely...
i tried a desire for several hours and at most things it was about the same speed as my technicians iphone 3gs and they are quite a bit slower than a 4.
user friendly? in a series iii kind of way, maybe :p
lot more customizable, sorry wrong again...
cheaper, hey you got one right!
and the signal strength at home was less than the iphones
got mine with 2 year warranty $38, 0 upfront, 1.3g data a month on a $65 plan with free calls between my multiple mobiles, all of which unused credit (they are on $45 plans) falls on to mine which is used the most..
Quite by accident I was passing through the middle of Sydney at 6am on the Friday the iPhone 4 came out in Australia... :angel: Was actually on my way to meet up with friends for a weekend of 4wding inland from Nowra...anyways, drove past a Telstra shop and couldn't resist the chance to get one early! My contract on my iPhone 3G had finished the day before, so worked out perfectly.
After almost 3 weeks with the phone I can say it's the best phone I've had. Leaves the 3G for dead. Also reception with the iPhone 4 isn't an issue - it was actually a lot better than my iPhone 3G. After the weekend at Nowra I camped in the High Country, drove down to Cann River in East Gippsland then back up home to Noosa via Dubbo, Lightning Ridge and St George - 4,800+Km's all up and reception was the best I've had in the bush...plus battery life is great too.
Is it the perfect phone? No, there's things I don't like about it...but it sure as hell beats anything else out on the market! :thumbsup:
i can see this becoming another 'td5-puma' thread:D:D:p:p
both good in ways, both could be better,
Unfortunately this is something that will be facing all smartphone users in the future - both iPhone and Android...:(

BTW, for the other Desire owners, the latest Android 2.2 is considerably faster than 2.1. There are also some great new features ;).
Just for fun, seeing if this works. Sending from my new iPhone 4.

Well mine arrived at long last today. Now just waiting for network activation to complete :(
At present the WiFi works well around home.
I am not a techie and this is the first apple product I have owned...LOVE IT! Best thing I have bought in a long time. I just got my wife a HTC Legend which is a fantastic bit of kit also.
Anyone looking at topo 4wd mapping for theirs - such as Memory Map or Ozieexplorer when the app finally comes out...or is it better to go HEMA Nav' or Garmin etc as a stand alone unit?
Cheers
