Crinklebritches Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I like my droid. I think droid will overtake the iPhone. Because the OS is easier to develop for. AT&T has to change its data plan structure in order to have bandwidth for the video phone feature. AT&T is going to make millions now with only 2gb data limit. You May exceed most of that with one video phone call. Link to comment
Saluthyus Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Just noticed.... The new iPhone has a an external micro-SIM card slot... Finally! So one could presumably take it to other networks without it being jailbroken. Although, the only other US carrier that I'm aware of that uses GSM bands is T-Mobile. Verizon is switching to UMTS (which iPhone 4 supports) but I'm not sure how far along they are. The downside: you have to pay full price for the phone if you go that route. Sadly..no. The original iphone has a sim card too. The phone itself is "locked" to AT&T so no getting a tmobile iphone without unlocking. Even jailbreaking it won't make it able to work on tmobile. Wish I could DD, but they are keeping those things under armed guard almost. I feel like I'm going to get shot every time I look in my inventory room and see them. They won't even let us have them to use and demo! Link to comment

Although 3G freqs don't entirely overlap so you get even more spotty 3G coverage than you would with AT&T . I was merely pointing out that the iPhone 4 finally has an external SIM access which should make such transitions even easier for those that want that option. Link to comment

So the 2G through 3GS have and "internal" SIM slot (requires a paperclip to pop it out), and you can't seem to swap the SIM? How hard is it to put the paperclip in the little hole in the top of the phone? I have swapped the SIM in my 3GS several times. It takes a whopping 5 or 6 seconds to change the SIM. Link to comment

I musta missed that class in making the iPhone do your bidding. I never switched from AT&T so it was never necessary for me to switch the SIM. I suppose I would have figured that out had I done it, was just going off information from other people. Well, cool! Thanks for the info. Link to comment
Protection Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 goofing around with one on weds, its amaaaaaazing, but a little boxy for my taste but regardless, its a beast. Link to comment
Saluthyus Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Yeah, the iphone4's sim slot is just on the side, same paper clip method to remove it as the iphone 3g. Though apple did get a little cheaper and skip out on sending a "sim removal tool" with the new phones. Overall the phone is very impressive though I'm not sure it's worth all the hype. Don't get me wrong, I plan on selling as many as I possibly can and make the $$ off of them, but comparing them to say..the new HTC Aria that just dropped the gap between iphone and android is getting smaller and smaller.

FunTime Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 The fun has already begun ... there's a guy on YouTube who's claiming that he holds the iPhone on the left corner (during a call) and the call is dropped ... he shows this over and over and over ... gets a replacement phone, and it still happens. Not to mention the significantly less reception shown (or available) compared to the iPhone 3GS ... And it's getting A TON of views. I'm just spreading the news Link to comment
WallaWalla Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Things are looking good here in the year 1999 guys. No text messages on my phone or anything like that. It sure does let me make phone calls pretty well everywhere I got though! Link to comment

WallaWalla Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Nope, it's just a folding Motorola. Weighs less than an Iphone, does about 1/100th as much. Link to comment

As long as it does what you need, that's all that matters. I know someone that carried around their Startac until it finally just refused to work anymore. He got quite a few more years out of that phone than was intended by the manufacturers . Link to comment
timmyc Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I will only buy an iPhone once Verizon carries it, but since they won't, they won't have my money. Verizon is evil Link to comment
timmyc Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I have a pretty basic phone, not 1999 but nothing fancy. Thought about getting a iphone, but 2G doesn't sound like much, if it isn't unlimited I doubt I will get anything fancy Link to comment
Repaid1 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 got a Motorola razor 3vm, does what I need a phone to do, I also carry a laptop with me. Not as sweet but bet i can do more cheaper with it than I could pay a phone company to do! and for free. So while the rest of the world tries to combine the two..I' stick with what works better and fast.. Till then..Beam me up! EDIT: I wouldn't mind a keyboard for texting though! but still can do that free from my Lappy! Link to comment

DL Wink Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I have an iPhone 3gs and ibdont see any good reason to up grade maybe you guys could tell me Link to comment
Vermino Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I have an iPhone 3gs and ibdont see any good reason to up grade maybe you guys could tell me i need multi-tasking + 5MP camera with flash. But yeah, I'm just gonna wait for the jailbreak before I pick one up. Love how craigslist is going crazy on people selling/buying 3Gs's here is a comparison link: http://www.apple.com/iphone/compare-iphones/ Link to comment
