Not too concerned about screen issues, those are easy to recognize and get replacement units. It's the reception that worries me.

Also, I wonder if they finally fixed the wifi issues.

Its an adhesive on the screen that "burns" off after the phone gets some use. Thankfully, I didnt get one of those either.

You guys just dont stop sheepy with the nit picking do you?

And I have been trying to replicate the lost bars effect. Mine still has yet to do it.

Wifi issue was the ipad, not the phone.

I have had no reception issues with the new phone.

There's quite a few people (including me) that have had wifi connectivity issues since the release of 3.0.

I was hoping the 4.0 release would solve these things.

You and doucher find a tiny scab perpetuated by someone on the net and pick at it and help blow it out of proportion. And with you two its almost always only in relation to apple products.

If you gave this much attention to every new phone that has been out for a total of almost 2 days and has little caveats for some people...I might not say too much.

As it stands the two of you are certainly the most vocal over anything that could even be remotely deemed negative. While doucher does attempt to research, you really sit here and parrot and instigate. Then, when little know-nothings come in here in and post more of the silly shit they heard as a rumor or 4th, 5th hand info, you use it to exacerbate the whole ordeal. Which as I've said before is you two making mountains out of mole hills.

Its an electronic device being released on a mass level...let the dust settle for a week. I dont ever see any of the droid phones catching so much shit for the small stuff. Everyone always has to try and knock down the top guy.

Basically, I'm saying you two should just chill the fuck out.

I have zilch issues with nitpicking on a phone that has been touted as the greatest...


And I take every chance I get to take a shot at an Apple product...I won't lie.






But, that being said...I'm sure Apple will work out the kinks given the reputation they want to uphold.

You ordered 5 different what? Free cases? If so, you're an idiot for not reading the offer correctly. You aren't getting them.

I never said no one else had issues, I just said I never did, hadnt heard about those particular ones either on any of the other forums.

Hey...took me over 3 years to get a RROD on my 360 I guess I'm lucky to some degree.

Greed. And lack of reading comprehension.

Right now it only works over wifi, does NOT eat your data or your minutes, I think...dont quote me, I know it doesnt eat your data for sure though.

Very easy to use...someone else has a facetime phone...hit the button and it works. Tried it yesterday, pretty cool.

Can't wait until that's available on Skype as well. I'd love to be able to call the grands and have them see the kids.
