iPhone 4 post return thoughts
Aug 2nd
I returned my iPhone 4 last week and wanted to spend a little time explaining what led me to this decision.
Right off the bat I will give props to Apple for getting the battery life where it needs to be on a smart phone. Currently all the other non-Blackberries are failing at this miserably. The EVO I had batteries life was so bad out of the box I swear I could watch it going down and the Incrediable isn’t much better from what I’ve been told.
Now then down to the real meat of why the iPhone 4 still failed to win me over past the 30 day trail.
1. The antenna issue is very real and until the bumpers are available will continue to be an issue. The idea of needing a case to circumvent a terrible design flaw seems silly to me.
2. The proximitysensor is bugged and doesn’t always work. On multiple occasions while talking to friends I turned on the speaker phone with my cheek or worse yet hung up on them. Apple says they have a fix in the works but who knows when that will be released.
3. AT&T STILL has terrible coverage and drops calls. I had my calls dropped wihin a day of starting to use the iPhone 4
4. Everybody I talked to from my iPhone 4 said I sounded like a robot.
Wedding Diet
Aug 1st
I told myself I was going to eat whatever I wanted before the wedding until August 1st. That deadline has arrived and the pre-wedding diet has begun!
I lifted tonight and had a pretty reasonable dinner but starting tomorrow the strict food diet will begin.
iPhone 4
Jul 23rd
Amazingly I was able to get my hands on the new iPhone 4 this week so I’m taking it for a spin.
Firstly I’m writing this post on the iPhone which is pretty cool and actually the keyboard isn’t bad at all.
Secondly the antenna issue is real and in real I mean a real pain in the ass. If I leave the phone sitting alone I have full bars but if I hold it I only get between 2 and 3.
This post is really just the tip of the iceberg and more to follow soon.
