Talk Is Not Cheap

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

There is a known slogan stating that "Talk is cheap". Well, the slogan for the Apple iPhone 4 Smartphone is the total opposite. The reason is because of that many hard drive space which is 16 gigabytes the item holds. Man, that is all but plenty space for your digital audio, video, pictures, and other files. This is good to have and to keep besides having a regular cell phone. In fact, this is an upgrade and recent version of the plain cell phone. 

It is good to have everything you collect in one item. I love that because I am a neat and organized person. When I have audio files, images, books, DVDs, video games, or anything else, I like to keep them together by stacking them or gettin...

Best Phone ever!!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I love my Iphone 4. Its the best phone I have ever had. It is great for thewhole family.On long road trips I played music and videos for my son. He loved that. Also when we are at the doctors for a long time it great to have an IPhone for his favorite videos and music.

I love it for myself because it is great if you are a heavy user of the inter net. Iam constantly on my browser. Its very fast and looks just like if you were on the computer. It has so many apps to choose from. My favorite is the Facebook app it works great. If you have AT&T the service is awesome! I have hardly never have dropped calls.

Some of the cons I would have to say are it doesnt keep battirey life for very long if you are on it a long time.

But besides that it is the best phone ever!! Everyone in my family has one!

The upgrade from the iPhone 3G to the iPhone 4 has been worth it

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I have been an iPhone user for the last three years.  I skipped the 3Gs upgrade but recently purchased the iPhone 4.  Here are my notes:

  • The iPhone 4 is noticeably faster than the 3G

  • The screen is noticeably crisper and higher resolution.

  • The multi tasking is really nice.  Listening to Pandora while checking e-mail is something they should have had years ago, but I am still thrilled to get it now.  Just this morning I listened to Pandora while also have MapMyRide going in the background for my morning bike ride.

  • The battery life seems to be much better. Currently on 82% and I have it one all day.

  • Synching with Outlook seems to be slightly faster a...

    Yes, That's Drool in My Beard...........

    Overall
    Rated 5 out of 5

    It's beautiful! Where do I begin?  No. Really.  There is so much to talk about with the iPhone 4 it's hard to know what to talk about first!  Well, ok.  There IS the elephant in the room (and he was standing near an open window,  wearing pajamas, .  That's how I knew it was a dream.  An elephant could never fit into pajamas!).  Seriously, unless you've been hanging out with Bin Laden in a cave somewhere the past couple of months, you've heard about "anntenagate".  Supposedly, because the iPhone's antenna is on the outside of the phone (other phones have it inside the case), if you hold it the wrong way and a finger or hand covers the ant...

    Love my IPhone 4, Apple makes the best!

    Overall
    Rated 5 out of 5

    I just purchased the Apple IPhone 4 and gave my husband my IPhone 3GS. I was wanting the IPhone 4 for face time. My daughter and I talk several times a day and I sew for my grand children. I am always in a fabric store and taking pictures of patterns and fabric and she is having to download and tell me what she likes. Now I can show her instantly without having to take pictures of everything. It will make everything a lot easier. Face Time or Video calling is now a reality. In l968 I worked for AT&T and worked at the World's Fair in San Antonio, Texas and we showed the phone of the future and it was called the picture phone. Well now we have one we an carry around with us. I really this is great technology. This makes staying in touch with family and friends nice. All of my children have the IPhone 4, I was the last to get, so I can talk to my grand children and children and see them on a regular basis. The IPhone 4 has many other amenities but this one is my favorite.

    A big upgrade from an iPhone 3G to an iPhone 4!

    Overall
    Rated 5 out of 5

    Since Apple has ever been releasing phones, the Apple iPhones are one of the best smartphones in the world.The iPhone 4 is their latest release and all I have to say this is AMAZING!The way they added more battery life and much more speed is just crazy!The iPhone 3G was really kinda slow to me.When I upgraded,everything was much more faster.The retina display on the iPhone 4 is just amazing too!I can play HD videos now and the videos are just amazing!The other thing I love too is that I can now record in 720p!I am always a camera guy and love taking pictures and recording videos for memories and since now they added a front camera and flash too which is really GOOD for me!I also love how they did not make the device bigger like how big the droid is.I do not like big phones because it will feel like a big thing in your pocket.Just wait till they release their next iPhone.I think it will much better and crazier!Apple will never give up on their customers!

    My favorite cell phone

    Overall
    Rated 5 out of 5

    I cannot say enough good about this cell phone.  It is my first smartphone, but I had used my husband's and friend's older version iphones before.  I knew that this was the smartphone that I wanted, but did not realize how much I would enjoy it.  I have not used many other versions of smartphones, so am unable to compare, but I would not want to use any others after using the iphone 4.  The picture quality of everything on the screen is just amazing.  It is crystal clear and bright.  The iphone 4 is very easy to use and has more features that I have yet to learn.  I live in a big city and have excellent coverage everywhere I go.  I even recently visite...

    Apple iphone is well worth the investment

    Overall
    Rated 5 out of 5

    I am a big supporter of apple and I own several of their products. I had been eyeing the iphone for a while, but was hesitant to purchase it due to the price of the phone and several negative comments I had heard about it. My husband surprised me and bought me the phone this past Christmas. I love it! I have been able to use it for personal use and for my job as well. I love the convenience of having everything I need, right in my cell phone. I have also been able to sync my iphone with my other apple products in a very simple manner. The phone will take some getting used to, especially if you are used to a basic phone, but once you get the hang of it, it is pretty simple to operate. Once again, I am extremely satisfied with my new apple product.

    Not much new with iphone 4

    Overall
    Rated 4 out of 5

    As a gamechanging phone, these yearly upgrades don't amount to much. Sure, this generation's version has an HD screen which is pretty sleek. Games and applications look amazing when they are HD compatible, but with owning the 3rd and 1st generation iphones, not much else has changed. I may not be as technologically inclined as my fellow peers, but from normal usage (phone calls, apps, pictures, etc), i don't see much of a difference. This isn't to say that the phone is a dud. It's probably still one of the best phones out for sale. All the characteristics that made it a great phone since the first generation is still there. The front and back are very finger-print prone though, so be ready to vigorously wipe it at all times of the day.

    'outstanding phone'

    Overall
    Rated 5 out of 5

    You won't find a better phone that is out there as far as having all the apps, the gadgets and the overall design. This phone really has it all. I have the Verizon phone and thusfar the service along with the phone has been excellent. If I had one drawback , I would say it is it doesn't have a keyboard which makes texting a bit harder with the touch screen, however, I am adapting well to that. A minor issue is the camera turns on when putting the phone down after talking sometimes. That is abot annoying, but a bit picayune. Overall, it is great phone that allows for a lot of exchanges and has very little drawbacks. I am glad I got it over a blackberry, which was the other option outside of an android phone that the company was offering us. The blackberry can't do anywhere the same things as the iPhone. All hail apple for a heck of a product!

    The iphone 4 is a great all around smart phone

    Overall
    Rated 4 out of 5

    I have been a smartphone user for years, but with Blackberrys for work reasons.  When that constraint went away I had the tough choice of which smartphone to choose. I quickly narrowed my choice down to iPhone or Android and then went really in-depth with a number of options.  I was seriously considering the iPhone 4, Droid Incredible, Droid X, and Samsung Galaxy S.  I ultimately choice the iPhone 4 for the following reasons:

    • Usability - The iOS interface is super intuitive and the form factor of the iPhone was perfrect for me.  Android has made a lot of strides, but still not quite there.

    • Apps - huge selection and everything I want.  Android ...

    The iphone 4 is pretty awesome!

    Overall
    Rated 5 out of 5

    I just need to add yet another review on how great the iPhone 4 is! I upgraded from the original iPhone from ages ago, simply because the 3g wasn't drool-worthy, boy I'm glad I waited for the iPhone 4! It is the ultimate in eye-candy! I love the phone itself and all it's features! Love the resolution and crispness of the screen so much that I laugh everytime I look at hubby's iPhone 3G's screen (that's mean, I know! he should've waited with the upgrade) Love that there's video, the battery life seems much, much better than my original iPhone, and the options on the camera with the higher megapixels, flash, zoom, and the ability to take pics of yourself. I haven't really Face Timed, but I thi...

    Excellent phone!

    Overall
    Rated 5 out of 5

    This is an excellent phone, regardless of service provider. It is very reliable, has the most apps out of any smart phones, and is easy to use and love. It features a 3.5 inch touch screen, which is pretty hard to scratch.

    They don't handle long falls or water well, so if you are clumsy or forgetful, investing in an otter box case would be wise.

    Included when you purchase the phone is a compass, gps, voice control, youtube, safari browser, email, stocks, calculator, weather, voice memos, itunes, notes, alarm clock, camera, and more!

    If you take care of this phone, it will take care of you! I have never had any serious issues with my phone. Sometimes there are some minor quirks, but nothing that has affected the performance of the phone overall.

    The speakers that it plays music over are a little weak though, but that's to be expected really. The home screen key can be a little difficult, but again nothing serious.

    All in all, this phone gets 5 stars from me!

    great phone

    Overall
    Rated 5 out of 5

    this phone is the 4th generation of the iphone and is the best one yet. the screen is at an amazingly high resolution and will be very tough to beat from other smartphones.

    the apps is what makes the iphone so much better than other phones. the apple app store trounces everything the android and webos platforms have to offer.

    if call quality is more important, i recommend going for the verizon version. otherwise, data is said to be faster with a data plan with at&t. with verizon, however, be aware that you will be limited by the CDMA technology. that is, unable to make certain international calls and the inability to surf the web and have calls at the same time.

    i highly recommend this phone for first time smartphone users.

    Obsessed!

    Overall
    Rated 5 out of 5

    i am officially obsessed with my iPhone 4. I can not live without this product, not only because it is my phone and my route to all social connections but also because it is a bi part of every aspect of my life including (but not limited to): family, school, staying organized, work, etc. I own a factory unlocked iPhone 4 and because I use t-mobile (which btw, is going to be purchased by at&t for $35 billion nytimes today), i can't send/receive photos. But the benefits that come with this phone greatly out weigh the cons!!! If you are a multitasker and like to stay organized (everyone) then this is the phone for you. The only con I can possibly think of is the fact that you have to have a plan with at&t/verizon to get a good deal on the price... =/ sorry guys. Also, it is VERY compatible with the MAC i recommend this phone to all MAC users.
