My best friend had a 3G also and moved up to the Iphone4 just a month ago. Now he's selling it on EBAY. He says that it's garbage and the phone has been giving him problems. He also said that the Facetime doesn't work that good. Overall he just really disappointed with it. Kind in mind that he is a graphic designer and has Apple everything. He's actually moving over to an Android phone.

As for me, today I'm going to be getting a Samsung Captivate. Having messed around with the phone a bit I'm pretty excited. Even though it is bigger than my current 3G, it's actually slimmer and feels pretty light. Not to mention the GORGEOUS screen either. As far as AT&T, I live in Miami and I get pretty good coverage pretty much anywhere I go in Florida so I can't complain. In getting the Captivate I'm going to extend my contract another 2 years which means I get to keep my unlimited data plan. Which AT&T doesn't offer anymore.

the update wont even take to my iphone i dont know whats going on but it does nothing when i click update

No, not you, but keep it up and I'll shovel you into that group along with the guys who wrote the article.

Blackberry smart phones are not toys, and I have yet to meet a business user who is unsatisfied with their user experience.

Shovel away! I can only speak based off my experience with the device, and if it was poor, that's my opinion. And yes, I use the phone for business.

The email delivery has been really slow within the last few months. Most of the time it's good, but sometimes I won't receive email notifications until hours after they were initially sent or, in other cases, hours after I've already checked for them on a PC. If it was a once in a blue moon kind of thing, I wouldn't mind. But it's been happening too often and more frequently. I've returned the phone, I've ran updates, etc. Phone still has the same problem. And maybe it's just the crappy Storm 1, but in either case, this is all a part of my disappointing experience with the device.

Also, the battery pulls get worse as the days roll by. And I know this isn't just limited to me. My father received a Curve 8520 as a company phone just back in February. Thankfully, he hasn't experienced any problems like I have, but he says there are times when he has to do battery pulls a few times a day and it drives him crazy. There have been days where I had to do pulls almost every hour, and sometimes every 30 minutes or else the screen would become unusable -- but to be fair, I found that this seemed to be limited to Storm users for the most part.

My sister has a Curve 8530, my girlfriend has a Bold 9000, and my ex just got a Bold 9700. I can't speak for the 9700 since she just got it, but the other two have experienced the frequent freezes and daily battery pulls too. But the 9000 seems to be a pretty solid phone. Sometimes I wish I got that instead.

I picked the Storm because of the larger screen. This made/makes it easier to view images and PDFs. So it's kind of hard to imagine moving to a smaller screened device. If the Torch or Storm 3 end up on the Verizon network, then I might look into them more closely.

So, once again, shovel away if it makes you feel better.

i had a iphone3g which was a awesoeme phone but had a shitty camera.. so i sold it and got a i9810 (samsung HD) cus it had a better camera. then i sold the OS (s60) was complety pile of shit. i missed the iphone so i got the iphone4 now i have iOS4.0.1 jailborken and it is awesome. i have absolutly no complaints now, have the phone since the 1st day it came out in Australia, since here the phone is available on more than just one shitty network i have had a good experience so far.
as for the antena glitch, i have to admit i did notice it once, but my hands were clammy.. usually they arent and this wasnt a problem. however i only noticed it since i was trying to show my friends the problem.. i used the bumper case that came free and then bought a whole array of cases of ebay

friend has a samsung galaxy s (android) and it is, arguably, the best android device out on the market. i played with it and its fast and smooth. what made me laugh is that its GUI is exactly the same as the iOS GUI.. why they copied this i have no idea.. i woulnt take android over ios, iphones dont have expendable memory nor do they have the ability to be used as flash drives, and they dont have interconective bluetooth.. but they are so easy to use and there are heaps of apps on both android an ios so its really up to you

There's something special about this spam-tacular post. I think I like the redundancy in it...
