I know I'm a super nerd.......... but at least I'm well armed....

Just got my iPhone 4 !!!!! :-D YAY! .. smaller then the 3GS it's replacing.. feels heavier but in a more solid kind of way.


Sorry I'm so excited I had to say it somewhere LOL
[ROFL1]

[GoldFinger]

Congrats.

Mine is suppose to be here today. Have you been able to find the cases for the 4G anywhere yet? My understanding is that it's smaller than the 3GS so I'd guess we'll need new covers.

[clublights]

MUCH Smaller then the 3GS.. standing the phones up on end .. the new one is the same height.... but skinner in the other directions ( thinner in depth and width )
The New Display makes the 3GS look like a 5 buck POS............... A MAZE ING!

[clublights]

And I never had my 3GS in a case... just a generic holster I've used for all my iPhones and a phone before them ( I've had all 4 iPhones now )

tho I'm kinda interested in the Apple "bumpers"

[Hoosier]

I'm holding out on them, at some point I plan on making the transition to Android, but probably not for another generation or two. Enjoy it!

H.

[clublights]

The Android stuff is pretty cool all in all ... but the iPhone is the benchmark ...... and I'm an all Apple shop here ( I have 4 mac's I can see from where I am sitting........ and a fifth one somewhere around here LOL ) so the iPhone makes more sense for me since it is completely integrated with my computer.

Pretty amazing times we live in with phones that are 100's of times more powerful then many "super computers" from the not so distant past.

[DocMedic]

Is there anywhere in Colorado that supports 4G yet?

Here's something to think about...

That phone of your has many times more computing power than the lunar landers that brought our astronauts to the moon and back again.

[clublights]

the iPhone 4 is NOT " 4G " it's the 4th version . it's still "3G" wireless ( tho it is capable of the higher 3G speeds )

My Dad worked on the Apollo program way back when, he's always telling me how his *almost* smart phone would have blown away the computing power in those ships they had. Crazy. I guess it goes to show you how it's often true that it's the carpenter not the tool :-)

BTW- my Dad still rocks the slide rule!

Guess it's kind of sad that I'm still using the same cell phone I had back in the 90's?... Eh, for me it's just a phone, that's all I need. Not that extra stuff. Though I admit, sometimes it'd be fun to have I bet.

[clublights]

LOL Bear........... it is nice to have basically a laptop in my pocket....

on my last tour I only used my laptop for watching movies in bed ( hey I like the bigger screen) and used my iPhone for everything else ( including obsessively reading this site )

and yes... there will be a new iPhone every year . and yes that one will be better then this one..... and yeah I buy the damn thing every year........

But with electronics if your always waiting for the next best one to come out you'll never buy anything.

And it's still not good enough :D

Once you own one, you WILL NOT have the same opinion, I can almost guarantee that. With that said, DON'T get one, lol. You won't even know your missing anything until you lay your hands on one. Just a month ago, my GF was saying how she can't justify spending the money on a phone like the Droid, and spending the extra monthly to run the thing. I finally talked her into one this past weekend. Now she doesn't know how she functioned without it.

I will give a big +1 on the Android operating system. I don't have any experience with the i-phone, so I can't argue on which one is better (nor do I really care), but I can say my Droid is AWESOME. I'm sure its just a matter of opinion on which system you want. I will say this, my Droid is faster than my computer at home.

[BigBear]

Don't worry, I won't... They are a lot of $$$ for me right now, lol. [Beer]

I still use a crappy plain phone, and I like it...[Tooth]

Does the iPhone4 support flash yet? or are they still being Nazi's about the whole HTML-4?

[clublights]

Nope No Flash and I doubt it will ever come ........

I don't miss flash at all .

and HTML5 can do most everything flash can ..

[Graves]

and HTML5 can do most everything flash can ..

Yes; it can. Too bad adobe will likely keep the market cornered.

Yes, there is a lot of interest

[DD977GM2]

Bunch of geeks HAHAHAHAHA[Tooth]

[hurley842002]

Yes, there is a lot of interest

When You consider retail for some of these phones, I'd venture to say $300 is a fairy decent price for some folks.
