Reserving? Getting the apple App and reserving it that way worked for me. I got it on the first try that way.

Nah, they're saying that way is jacked up also. I may just wait until the hype and unorganized dealings go down.
I wanted a white model as well.

There was apparently a leaked memo that said the white model wasn't going to be available in the reserving state. The app route wasn't jacked up for me, I got a confirmation e-mail saying it's a done deal.

Best Buy was the only place taking pre-orders for a white modeled iPhone4 but then informed anyone who had done so, the phone wouldn't be available until late July or August
AT&T pre-orders for the phone on launch day have sold out completely.

Just want to echo what Flaco said - AT&T has been nothing but good service for me for 8 years in DFW and 4 years in College Station before that.

No, no. It's cool to hate on AT&T now.
ATT sucks, man!

AT&T is great, the way they handle things sometimes just gets to me.

The ATT bad network thing is certainly not a myth. I know several people with iphones that are constantly griping about it. As with all things of this nature, it's obviously not going to affect everyone.
My bigger issue would be the reality of being forced to use ATT. TMobile is cheaper and Verizon's 3G network is unbelievably larger and denser, so if you travel that's a big deal.

Pre-ordered my black 32GB model yesterday. Looking forward to getting it, as my 3G is on its last leg.

This random guy at the apple store who was trying to reserve his totally convinced me to go to the 32GB instead of the 16. He said he had been trying all morning and then tried the app too and it didn't work. He gave up and left...it was humorous to me that it worked for me right as he left.

I reserved mine through the AT&T website. In fact, it appears I accidentally reserved two. The first one didn't seem to go through when I clicked Complete My Order, but apparently it did, because they sent me an email today saying they'd canceled the second order, and the first one is listed as pending on my order status.
Oh, and 32GB is def the way to go. I can barely fit 1/8th of my music on my 16gb 3G. It's one of the reasons the thing is crapping out so bad--I think I have literally less than 40 megs of free space on there.

250 mins of video takes up about 21 GB of space on the new phone. So if you plan on taking many videos, 32GB is the way to go.

I don't remember any dropped calls on AT + T when I had a Motorola Q. I also had alot of luck with tethering. Dropped calls are something that happened after I got my 3GS. I think it's the phone. Still love the Iphone for its apps and media experience, and talking on the phone is overrated anyway.

I don't know if anyone here could help me with this but I'll explain anyway. About 8 pm last night i noticed that I didn't have 3G on my Iphone. There isn't anything there except the normal bars or whatever. I can still make/receive calls and I can still send/receive texts, I just can't access the internet. I've tried turning it on and off and nothing happens. This morning when I woke up I tried turning it off and on and it got suck on the apple logo so then I reset it using Itunes and I still can't use the internet. I hardly ever use wifi so I haven't tried that. I'm just curious if any of you smart people would know what the deal is.

so it stopped saying 3G on your phone? Sounds like it is stuck in EDGE or GPRS mode. We gotta figure out a way to reset it. I'd take it to the apple or AT&T store and have them reset it or something. Good luck!

My friend got his a day early and I already played with his new phone.
Phone is incredibly sexy. I compared the retina display to my 3G and the resolution blows my 3G out of the water. His phone doesn't have the antenna problem or any other problems people are reporting.
Apple said the white iPhone4 will be available the 2nd half of July so I will be getting mine then.

Here's an awesome thing: one of my roommates and I both preordered the first morning, about an hour apart. Both orders shipped Tuesday, due for delivery today. His came at 1pm today, mine didn't come at all.
I called Fedex, and they said that mine was subject to a "24 hour delay" due to thunderstorms somewhere. But his wasn't. Coming from the same place. Going to the same house.
Right.

Every single responsible person is going to put a cover on their iPhone...or whatever smart phone, really. So I am having a really hard time figuring out why people care what color it is, to be honest. "white iphone" was actually near the top of google trends for a couple of weeks recently. I mean...how trivial is that?

The Bumper cover doesn't really cover the entire phone. Its more of a border cover. You can almost see the entire phone. Plus, this time the white iPhone is completely white in the front, unlike the 3GS and older models where the front of the white model was black.

Lol. But actually there are a lot of people on several iPhone forums that have reported this issue and have been able to replicate it fairly easily. This might be a big headache for apple.

I don't use a case for mine. I like the sleek clean look for it. I only have a few cosmetic scratches in 2 years.
I am definitely waiting for the white iPhone as well. White > Black. Racist.

Apple Issues Statement on iPhone 4 Reception
“Gripping any phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas. This is a fact of life for every wireless phone. If you ever experience this on your Phone 4, avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band, or simply use one of many available cases.”
|
So avoid gripping your phone when making phone calls, guys. lol
Man they should at least offer free cases if that's what's going to work..

I agree Professor. Black is far sexier. I would never rock a white car, white phone, or white shades. White women are good though.

yep it sounds like they may have to offer those new bumper cases free to all customers until it gets fixed (if it ever does).

question on iOS 4.0.
I've got a 3GS. Once i updated it to iOS 4.0 i noticed the northeastern pointed arrow that appears when location services are being used. (up in the top right corner) I've also noticed my battery is getting drained quickly. Are programs/apps using my GPS in the background? Is that what is going on?
