I wonder if the 'Find my iPhone' app has helped anyone recover their phones. It has been a Mobile Me feature for a while.

Yes it has helped lots of people. I know because when that person stole it I tried that avenue and came across many articles of recovery. Of course you have to have it already set up before you lose it (I didn't).

Crazy thing is, I was joking around on a different forum about selling my iPhone 4 for $700-$800, and I received a huard of PM's asking me if I would sell it to them for that price . Sure you can buy an iPhone 4 without a plan for around $600 or $700 from AT&T or Apple, but I unless you stand in line for 8-10 hours on launch day to buy one at a store (if they'll even sell you one without a plan right now), then it's almost a month wait until the next batch of iPhone 4's come in. |

Seems people are already getting their shipments via FedEX. I thought picking up in the store would be a faster option as in the past Apple has had carriers hold shipments until the realease date.
Error by FedEx? Attempt to stragger activiations to less server load? Either way I'm bumped. Want my phone now!

A couple of guys at work got their iPhone 4 in today. But they also put in their orders around 1am or 2am PST online at Apple and AT&T. Their phones were delivered by FedEx. One of them was supposedly meeting up with somebody tonight to sell their iPhone for $950!
Mine and a few other co-worker iPhone's are scheduled to deliver tomorrow (6/23), and we all placed our orders online at AT&T anywhere between 8am - 12:30pm PST. All of our tracking numbers (all UPS Next Day Air Savers) are showing delivery for Wednesday. |

Have the 4th gen iPhone synching right now, such an awesome piece. Just feels like a quality product. Ill report later on how I like it but I know it is going to be good! I hated using the Blackberry for the past 10 days, sucked! lol...

Keep us updated. Pictures too.
I'm running a jailbroken iOS4 3GS right now and I love the new software. Noticeably faster than 3.x.

Facetime is amazing! So far the phone is fast especially uploading to Facebook, with my old 3g it took minutes and really sucked if I wanted to get on Pandora right away to drive.

I can't help but chuckle a little bit to see all the Apple fans getting all worked up about the earlier deliveries, offering the early purchasers upwards of a grand for them, lining up at the stores, etc. Yes, I pre-ordered one myself (only because my current 3G is on the verge of death - the hold switch completely broke off, the battery doesn't keep a charge, the power button doesn't work, and the case is cracked) but it's not the end of the world if I don't get it right away.
I'm more excited about McDonald and Bilski (since I work with the patent system), and I'm especially excited about picking up the AR pistol I DROS'd last week. I suppose the Apple fans would think I'm just as crazy for placing more importance on the firearm... |

^^ I'm with stupid.
I'm looking forward to McDonald and thinking about how it sucks that my FFL that has my PSL in possession is not open on Wednesdays and I'll have to wait another day because they're not open Sunday either. Two extra days damn it!!

On the default OS it only works over Wifi. The API's are out for applications to use the technology, so once jail-broken it can probably be had over cell networks.

I'm not worried about that. Even with iOS4 (and in the past) a restore or refresh of an OEM ipsw has removed tracks of any jailbreak sort of activities.

Skype video on the EVO via 4g is okay, but the overall quality and experience is borderline acceptable for day-to-day video calling.

I tried out the Face Time with my co-worker, and it works good on the WiFi. But even at 20 mbps, the iPhone really keeps the resolution low so the bandwidth isn't as bad. Not a true 30 fps, but still decent for the most part. I think Apple made it look better than it really is in their advertisement.
I did record some videos in 320p and they looked really good on the phone. They still looked good when I sent them as a MMS to other people (T-mobile iPhone 3G user, Verizon BB user, Verizon flip-phone user, Sprint Moto flip-phone, etc). I took this pic earlier, holding my Blackberry and taking a picture with my crack-shaking hands |

Are you giving the iPhone a thumbs down? Haha.

Have you guys seen the complaints on MacRumors about the defective screens that have yellow hues and spots? Or the fact that with the OS 4 update iPhones have poor reception when they're being held by the user.
Either way I'm still getting one tomorrow!

OK I'll say it. The biggest reason for me wanting to upgrade from 3GS to 4 is that my porn quality will be better with the newer camera. Too bad I have to wait till I can upgrade at not as much of a butt f*** price.
Geez, I can be so crude sometimes.

Yeah, because when Apple releases a buggy or defective product you're supposed to praise them

In all reality, what Sprint is currently pushing as 4g isn't really true 4g anyways, so its gonna take a little time for true 4g propagation in any areas besides the major metros... oh, and I just received my iPhone, so far its very nice!

When applicable does not apply to the iPhone 4 since the hardware physically cannot support 4G. I am also quite aware that Sprints WiMax isn't truly 4G, they actually had the standard changed so that they could use the "4G" name.

Yeah I did the reception test that you've seen on internet videos, yes the reception bars do decrease but I still was able to maintain a call. I think that the antenna starts at the bottom left of the phone and then wraps around the phone in a counter clockwise motion and that's why it has trouble with the bottom left being susceptible.
