You wouldn't be saying that sarcastically if your home button only worked half the time (like mine) lol.

My friends home button stopped working completely.
I've never had an issue.
I love my Iphone because of the OS!
It blows android away. I have both.

Apple just took 2 giant steps back in the phone market. SMH.
And yes, I am an iPhone user. But not after tonight, Galaxy S II here I come.

They will, this is just a filler phone to get people to upgrade and then when the IP5 is released you have to pay more to upgrade again
:-)
Same thing they did with the IP3GS

Which means they are still behind. We have to wait a whole year for the next spec bump. Buy then the other phone makers will have devices that will make the iPhone look like a jitterbug. Not to mention the size of the phone. If they really want people to make this a device that does it all, give me a bigger screen dammit!
The only thing the keeps the iPhone going is the reliable software.
of course, this is all my opinion, everyone has one
:-) I have been an iPhone user for all iterations of the phone. Heck I still have my original iPhone. But this phone does nothing to keep me on the bandwagon.

I thought the same thing until I got a HTC inspire 4G. I considered not using my Iphone 4 anymore but after a few weeks I went back. The OS on the iphone is that much better it is worth using. The Inspire is faster I do admit and has a better camera, but it sucks to text with and to use the internet control and touch functions.

I'm buying one - I don't have an Iphone at the moment and think the 4 is pretty cool. I might as well get the amped up version. I figure if they called this thing a 5 everyone would be raving about it. It's probably bad marketing on apple's part, but it won't stop me.

I still love my droid! Iphone, Never. I have heard different. I guess all depends on what you want/need in the phone.
