Chreees Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Who's getting one? I'm trying to preorder one but both AT&T and Apple's sites are messed up so bad because of the high amount of people trying to do it. It's insane. So... who's planning on getting one, sooner or later? What features are you most excited about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rani Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 First version of anything generally has issues. Like the first round of X-Box, iPad, etc. I'm not an Apple fan anyway, but if I were going to buy one I'd wait at least 6 months until they found all the user problems and fixed them.

'Rani [/quote] True, but the hardware should remain the same. I know it has when they fixed previous bugs and issues. All they had to do was send out a software update for people to download which always fixed the issues. Plus, this is the fourth iPhone version. Granted the new stuff can have issues, it's likely this will be a much more solid phone than say the first original iPhone.

Shipping you get it on the 25th, and can't pick up in-store 'til the 25th. No one knows why, but that's what I'm seeing everywhere on the net. If they told you you'd get it delivered on the 25th, then that's awesome. Everyone's hearing fifty-million different things from those lousy shmucks at AT&T...

I've also been multitasking with it that whole time as well. I've also had custom wallpapers that whole time too. I can set it to whatever I want. Thats little icon on the lower left corner shows all the apps in the background. I got a little Pandora action right now, while installous is download a hacked app. The funniest of all, I've been back grounding just like Steve showed you all. You just tap n hold home and the back-grounded apps list shows up, and then you select whichever you want. Which is the second picture.

Chreees Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Well, after trying all day to preorder, I finally got a "reservation" to pick up an iPhone 4 16GB Black on June 24 at the Apple Store in Nashville at 7AM. What the hell is a reservation? Am I guaranteed to get one that day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porksandwich9113 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Let us know how it works and if it's any better/different. I assume they are going to release a new iPod touch with the A4 and camera's.. I might just get one of em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Will do, porkman. An iPod Touch with the A4 chip would be badass. So I did some research and people in the past who had reservations to pick up their iPhone/iPad said at 7AM they'll go down the line and ask who has reservations, take down your email addy you used to reserve with, and then have all the [i]confirmed[/i] reservations get into a separate line which gets dealt with first. The reservation line moves hella quick, whereas the other one doesn't. They make sure they have enough phones for all the reservation people, and then the other line gets what's left. I hope this is how it goes down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've seen the A4 on the iPod running more intense graphics - I can't imaging how overpowered it would be for a small iPod. It would be really nice for the iPod to have a camera - and the camera for skype and things of that nature.. If you ask me it's the only thing that has been missing from this generation of iPod's.

It may be seem smart to do it, but if more people have the phone, the faster the problems are fixed. (except for the 360 lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
