beag_teeets Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Nothing that makes me want one. I'm so glad I jumped in the android camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookers_Carl Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 - Accelerometer and gyroscope in the phone and the point is? Im a techno geek BUT???? Im not flying it??? Think the inclusion of this is geared more towards the gaming aspect of the iphone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookers_Carl Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 lol...only joking, I write some apps for games.... The mobile gaming market the BIG push. As a games designer its a good move. But for someone who needs a smartphone with a good battery life, its not :-( I will be amazed if the battery lasts a day with all these new gizmo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza699 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Hmm my Iphone is broke and still in warranty .... maybe just maybe........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackey Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Hmm my Iphone is broke and still in warranty .... maybe just maybe........... No chance, my 3G broke after the 3GS came out and they were having none of it. As for the 4G it's the standard step and not the giant leap, just as was expected, and if it's out by the end of July I should hopefully be able to get one on my renewal with O2. Call to O2 today me-thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markoasis Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 As for the 4G it's the standard step thats why i wasn't bothered about waiting for the 4g and the imporved software is available for the 3g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackey Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 thats why i wasn't bothered about waiting for the 4g and the imporved software is available for the 3g You're wrong mate. Very wrong.

latic12345 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I never listen *Mark in self-awareness shocker* In truth, I am only 11 months or so into my 3GS contract. I've heard a rumour that O2 might be nice to current customers and be willing to cut deals on early upgrades. This however, is likely to be limited to customers whose contracts end in 2010. It does look a laaaarvely bit of kit. Let's face it, the iPhone is not purchased for its tech wizardry but because it is easy to use and it is, essentially, a fashion accessory much like the iPod was, the iPad will be and MacBook Pro's currently are. At only 9mm thin it looks amazing. If O2 won't upgrade me early, I might have to console myself with an iPad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookers_Carl Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 I think in some areas it has made nothing short of a huge step forward, in particular the screen, form factor (without sacrificing on the hardware) and speed. To think this phone is probably more than three times as fast as my first ever PC!!! I am waiting on anxiously on the first reviews and may just pull the trigger if the battery life shows an improvement over the 3GS (as in I can get at least a day out of it with moderate - heavy use) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I think the battery life arguement is tiresome at best. The longer the battery just makes people ultra lazy, and the same people wouldn't bat an eyelid at a laptop with a 6-10 hour battery life. It's an multifunctional phone which uses a lot of power for lots of different tasks, you have to make sacrifices to get it as small as it is. I find sticking it on charge overnight, every night and for the quick top-up making sure you have an in-car charger (for about £1.99 from Amazon) more than suffices my needs. I'm rather liking the new iPhone4, especially the screen resolution and vastly improved camera. It's a distinct step up from my 3G, and when my contract reuns out in 10 months then hopefully the prices will have come down a little as well as any snags etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am waiting on anxiously on the first reviews and may just pull the trigger if the battery life shows an improvement over the 3GS (as in I can get at least a day out of it with moderate - heavy use) I really wouldnt worry about this. I get at least a day out of my 3GS and have the following use most days: over 3 hours of music Regular email updates 30 mins or so of data updates (Guardian App, internet etc) 2 hours or more of phone calls When I think my work dell laptop dies after an hour, I can hardly complain that a level of usage like that (and that's probably an average day, it is sometimes heavier) gets me 1.5 days. Trick is to let it run dead and fully charge up to half a dozen times when you first purchase... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookers_Carl Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 02 have just announced an end to their unlimited data iphone tariffs, the lower end tariffs now have unlimited wifi and 500mb of data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackey Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 02 have just announced an end to their unlimited data iphone tariffs, the lower end tariffs now have unlimited wifi and 500mb of data. 500mb what? A month? In 12 months plus of iPhone I'd only used about 1.2gb of data over 3g - so that's not much of a problem for your average user.
