£940 for something you can buy for £599? ![Cuckoo](images/smilies/cuckoo.gif)
I'll be dropping into the Carphone Whorehouse today to have a butchers & see if they have any stock, otherwise my local O2 store reckoned they would have some in on Saturday.

What I did object to was the constant moaning about it and in fact I suggested that you and Jack should just agree to disagree. I can pull up the old threads if you want me to but I cant be bothered right now.
You then came back with a load of tosh and your favourite smilie

Now I am quite happy to put my hands up when when I think something does not work or has a fault, regardless of whether it is an Apple product or not. Never been blind or so much of a fan to be blinkered, however in this case I think it is a straight forward fault by design and should be mentioned, hence my thread.
There, feel better now ?

Lets just get one thing straight shall we. I never once said that you were talking rubbish during your rants and digs about your issue with Jack Clark and others on here . In fact I could see your point.

and I simply replied with quite a direct appraisal of you. End of.

I`d be more concerned about the screen shattering if you drop it, on this test they didn`t drop it from any great height as it was just above waist high. On the 2nd drop the phone went totally dead and wouldn`t power back on, on the 4th drop the screen shattered. This is after it being reported how strong the iphone 4 was supposed to be.
I`d certainly get a quality case if your going to buy one.

It did exactly what it said on the tin up until that point.

Subaru should take note and get those new STI's made out of glass, it would look wicked cool, who care about anything else?!?

"The front side of the iPhone 4 is made of Corning Gorilla Glass, a chemically strengthened alkali-aluminosilicate thin sheet glass that is reported to be 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic. This special glass is supposed to make the phone more durable and more resistant to wear and tear."

Wear and tear, not trying to break it. Who knows if the next time he wasted a phone it would have broken on the 20th time. Silly bit of advertising by iFixit and many will fall for it.

Judging by that video, it seems a lottery as to when it will pack up or break. It could pack up or shatter after just one drop, it doesn`t bode well IMO that the phone has been rendered totally useless after dropping it just 4 times.
I bet the majority of people will have accidentally dropped their phone at least twice in a year, on their test the phone totally packed up after being dropped just twice.
How about Swiss Tony drops his new iphone 4 on a hard surface 4 times to see what results he gets, we`ll take his results as gospel

Its that much of a fail safe that they couldn`t get the phone to work again after dropping it just twice lol

I saw him pressing the 'home' button, might have been better off trying the power button but that wouldn't create as much negative speculation and publicity. But then we're both speculating, the difference is you're half empty and I'm half full.

So in essence when it happens to your phone it's a design fault and worth posting a whole thread about it. When it happens to mine I constantly moan and come back with a load of old tosh. LOL!
I think hypocrisy is the word we are looking for

I think you struck a nerve there f1. ![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
My cowon s9 has gorilla glass, guess what happened the first time i dropped it.![Wink](images/smilies/wink.gif)
But then again it was apparently a fault batch of glass so im assuming the same has happened with the iphone, perhaps they need time to refine it seeing the phone is so new, like my s9 was at the time.
Either way id suggest insurance and a nice case for it.

What I do know is that she is returning it because she doesn't like the reception and the echo. She reports that the screen and camera are excellent but as a phone it just doesn't work.
