Iphone 4 - Anyone Taken The Plunge?

[typevu]

I'm waiting for Optus to get back to me so I can sign up and get away from 3...

[Beer Baron]

I don't understand how some people can walk in and pick them up.

I've been waiting for my "rain checked" one since release date.

I'm getting pissed off.

I think it's just a matter of getting lucky. stores are getting them in dribs and drabs. it was the same with the ipad. I bought a 16gb wifi only model the day after release day and it was the last one of any type in stock at david jones (and just about any other store in the area) then about 2 weeks later I wanted a 32gb 3g model and had to ring about 20 stores and none had any of any type. I then walked into a JB hifi (to buy something else) and had already called them and been told no stock only to see a bloke standing there holding a 32gb 3g model joking with another store assistant about how long it would take to sell now that he'd bought it out of the store room and could he get any mark up on it... I bought it on the spot.

I don't think you'll be waiting long.

I see this as being a HUGE money grab by apple, i mean, glass on the front AND the back? I cant wait to see the number of reports that come in from people breaking the glass when they drop it

Yeah, thats fair enough.

I should have signed up at Optus and not All phones, I presume optus would get them first.

I'm still waiting on mine.

They gave everyone an extra month for the wait, but what if we go over a month without the phone?

I wonder.

[dezz]

Got mine the other day...nice step up from a 3G, especially when I got it for next to nothing...Not much of an upgrade from a 3GS, but still nice...

No reception issue whatsoever.

[ali-turko]

i have a iphone 4 n my reception is shit house with vodafone

i had alot better reception with my iphone 3g

[fat exa]

i cant even get my iphone to not smash a screen. i still love it though

what? :S

[Owgasm]

what? :S

He's probably had his iphone screen replace a few times and saying that its probably going to happen again.

This friday will be a month with no iphone.

What does that mean from optus? They gave me a free month, not really free without the phone o.O

I'll go ask them when I get the chance.

Anyone here rainchecked an iphone and still hasn't got it or got it recently?

[DC33VN]

im in the raincheck line from optus. i sold my 3gs for 550 and paid a early upgrade fee of 370 for the 32 gig model. but its been 2 and a half weeks now without a iphone and with some ancient piece of shit... hope this doesnt take another 2 weeks

[Granthem]

I ordered from Vodafone about 2 weeks ago.

They advised a 4-6week wait on the 32 gig

[blackrex]

I got my rain checked phone from Optus a week ago, but I didn't order it for a week after they where originally released also.

So far, I like it more than my 3GS (the wife now has that one) it has a better signal reception than the 3GS, I can actually answer the phone inside my house and shed now, without it dropping out. The camera is better, and the screen is also much clearer than the old one.

[sh@un]

got one from the Sydney Apple temple Sunday before last

best. electronics device. evah

apart from the functionality, it's just so solid and beautifully engineered

Did you get the free Case? Supposed to help reception issues.

It's the first thing i'll be doing when mine gets delivered.

I was on the waiting list with 3 a week before the release date, got a text to say come in on Friday, signed up and they said it should arrive in the next week or two but I got a text saying its already been sent so I'm expecting it this week. Just getting a black 16gb

Keen as to get a new phone, sick of my ancient POS atm

hey guys yeah i got the Iphone 4... on the $49 cap (+ $10 handset fee) through 3 mobiles....

however i did not upgrade from a previous Iphone.. this is my first Iphone.. i have had a lot of experiences with my friends Iphone's and i am quite happy with the 4..

no problems thus far.... i never tested the reception out i just straight out got a case with it.. so ive not had any reception problems so far...

surprisingly for a mere 5megapixel camera.. i LOVE the camera on it.. its truly a great camera in my thoughts dunno about anyone else...

all in all i've found the phone to be great

for the people who have already got there rain checked iphones. if the contract is not in your name but your the person who holds that number , what do you need to do when picking up your iphone?

[xALmoN]

queue at chadstone for 20mins, the ex girlfriend bought one 16gb one, its a better phone than the 3gs, better camera, faster processor, but the sucky radio signal thing is true! we paid about 830+ though, no line.

i very much still prefer my blackberry bold, although its getting a little dated, it has buttons.

[sh@un]

some ppl think phones with buttons suck, though

[Owgasm]

Got my iphone yesterday.

Can someone check their mail on their iphone.

When you slide on a e-mail (not opening), to "delete" does delete come up or "archive"

Mine says "archive", which I don't want and I don't know where its archiving to.

Edit: worked it out, ah what a relief.
