FINALLY!!! My Speck Candyshell for my 4 came! It does make the phone feel a little bigger cause of the more squared off shape. Need to see if I get used it...if not I'll probably switch to the bumper or stay caseless.
Edit actually after a couple minutes im already getting used to it. I like it.

I dont want apple open sourced. I like the stability and "just works" aspect. Its why I dropped windows 10 years ago.
^^ i havent seen any real issues with androids open source since release.. it seems they "just work" fine with tons of 3rd party stuff..
i'd be more worried about people making shitty stuff rather than the phone not working correctly.
apple does a great job "normally" with the whole just works slogan.. but since IOS 4 hit the older phones.. that kinna went out the window a bit
i wouldnt trade my iphone for any droid phone, but apple could take a few notes if you ask me..

. It seems that whatever I try to do on my Droid doesn't work right. Simple things hang, errors or just dont do what its supposed to. Thats why I turned it off. The Iphone just works.
That's sick mang!!! I love how it keeps the angular lines of the 4... Which is one of the things that makes this phone so good looking! Thanks for the pics... Ur a man of your word!!!

i want my white iphone, godmmait!!! lol
so what do yall think will happen after iphone 4?
i mean good number of my friends think that just like how 3G -> 3GS, next generation would likely be iphone 4 body/feature + hardware upgrade (ie processor, memory, etc)
i'm debating whether i should just keep my 3GS or upgrade, because other than screen (and faster processor and more ram, which i consider somewhat less important, don't laugh), i don't see much merit in having 4.
now.. only benefit (or possible benefit) of keeping my 3GS would be in case iphone ever comes to verizon next year... probably not, but yea

Jailbreak for iPhone 4/3GS/3G and iPad is live. Works on all oses including 4.0.1, 3.2.1 and even 3.1.3. It's really easy too, even easier than the spiritjb. Go to www.jailbreakme.com in the device you want to jb and then then slide to jailbreak. I probably wouldn't do it right now on the iPhone cause their servers are getting gang banged right now! Though it worked perfectly on my iPad it crashed safari on my iphone4 when it attempted to download the jb

Cydia is kinda working I'm getting errors about unable to fetch data and what not. I can't find the rock or mywi app either. Can you? Is that cause it might not be compatible with iPhone 4?
Engadget reported that comex is saying that the in isn't working with iPad on 3.2.1 but afaik it worked for me

Apple has revamped the antenna performance page on its website, removing references to and videos of the performance of competitors' smartphones in comparison to the iPhone 4. Apple launched the page after its iPhone 4 press conference to demonstrate how a number of other handsets, including ones from Research in Motion, HTC, and Samsung, as well as the iPhone 3GS, see signal attenuation when gripped tightly in the hand.
Apple's continued interest in drawing its competitors into the antenna performance discussion was furthered by several updates to the site to add the Nokia N97 mini and the Motorola Droid X. Just a week after the most recent update, however, all of the comparisons have been removed, leaving only general claims that the attenuation issue affects most models of smartphones.
The opposite of amplification, attenuation happens whenever a signal is obstructed. All antennas - including television, radio, GPS and mobile antennas - can experience attenuation. And with most antennas, the density and composition of the human hand can cause attenuation to a greater degree than some other materials. On a mobile phone, signal loss typically occurs when your hand attenuates the most sensitive part of the antenna. Which, on iPhone 4, is the black strip of the lower left corner of the antenna band.
The reason for the removal is unknown, with speculation running from Apple receiving complaints from other handset makers to the company simply wishing to reduce the amount of attention drawn to the issue now that its free case program is underway and Apple bumpers are making their way into the hands of consumers. Interestingly, the videos remain available on the company's YouTube site and on many, but not all, international versions of its antenna performance page.
